Listread Version 1.03.c.jpi (Shareware)
(C)opyright 1991, 1992 by Doug Laine of The Philly Exchange
Disclaimer:
I am responsible for NOTHING! You use this program at your own risk.
The program will write to NO files.
Information:
Listread was written so that a user can take any bbs list and generate a list
of bbs's in his/her area that are local calls only. This is a very simple to
use program, and really requires little work to set up. I have included a
sample configuration file in this zipfile for you to work from. As you will
be able to see, there are comments throughout the file. Any line that starts
with a ; or at some point in the line there is a ;, then that is considered
a comment.
The first line that is necessary is the local area code. This is entered
as a 3 digit alphanumeric number. For example 609.
The second line is your local prefix. In my case that was 390.
All the additional lines in the configuration file are the prefixes that
are local to you. There can only be one per line and up to 300.
The configuration file must be called LISTREAD.INF and is NOT compatible with
the older listread.cfg or listread.loc files. They need to be deleted if
they exist. This file can then be place ANYWHERE that your search path is
set up to point to. The program will first look in your local directory and
then search through the path for this file.
To run Listread:
LISTREAD {filename} {/buffer:}
filename is the name of the bbs list that you wish to search.
All output from the program goes normally to the display. You may however
redirect it to a file simply by adding the line:
> {capture_file}
capture_file is the name of the file you want to send all the output to.
The /buffer: command is used to adjust the buffering used by the program.
You can specify any size from 0 - 32768 as the number of bytes to use as
a disk buffer. This is used to try to get the best performance from the
program. By default the system will use 32766.
If you like the program:
Send me five bucks.
