Update information for SYSOP v2.11
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
List of bug fixes, changes:
───────────────────────────
■ Fixed the bug that didn't create file listings when using
the normal line format.
■ User statistics did not work when using SuperBBS
■ Fixed the ugly bug that doubled single words or the entire
description in allfiles listing.
■ Fixed a bug that FrontDoor style logfiles always were
shortended completly.
■ Fixed a bug when deleting the last line in FILES.BBS
■ Fixed a bug that didn't recognize the baudrate in RA logfiles.
■ Fixed a bug when reading the EFT downloader log that occured
when the downloader log had a different format than the
uploader logfile.
■ Changed the logic of adding archeader to .ARJ files
■ Changed the logic of where to swap memory for ArcScan when
no swap path given and no environment variable TMP set.
In this case SYSOP now swaps to the directory to which the
BBS environment variable points.
■ Total no. of calls is now read from SYSINFO.BBS instead
of sum of calls from every user.
■ File areas without files aren't shown in the file extension
statistic anymore.
■ Fixed a bug when using LHa as Arcer that the AllFiles
listings wouldn't arced.
■ Fixed the swapping problem. Swapping to EMS/XMS does now
run correct.
■ Files won't be touched with the actual date/time during
ArcScan conversion anymore. Fixed some other bugs in
ArcScan.
■ Fixed the Kill-Files Bug when converting files during ArcScan
and 'Convert files with AV-Check' was set to YES. At this
moment all files that already have destination format were
deleted.
■ When the FILE_ID.DIZ contained graphic chars SYSOP deleted
all spaces in the description.
■ The EFT Uploader/Downloader logfile wouldn't be read if
you used FrontDoor or SBBS style.
List of new features:
─────────────────────
■ Added QuickBBS support
■ User statistics may show the handles instead of the realname.
■ Added switch to add file listings to the archive instead of
always moving the listing into the archive so that the ascii
listing still remains.
■ Added switches to not create empty UploadCheck & FileScan
reports.
■ The statistic data of deleted users are now stored before
deleting so that your stats always reflect the right values.
■ Now you're able to update the actual filearea in the file
database every time you save the FILES.BBS automatically.
■ Added a function to hide special entries in the statistics.
■ SYSOP now shows the commandline when you run it with parameters.
■ Improved the hurl-technique. Now it's possible to do a fast
hurl in the following way:
Tag files with ALT-T, mark them for moving into another file
area with ALT-M. The tagged files will be moved into this
directory later. Now tag some other files and move with ALT-M.
This does not really move files but mark them for movement!
At the end you press CTRL-M and all files you've marked before
are moved into the aprociate directorys. The descriptions are
added at the end of the FILES.BBS and the FILES.BBS of the
actual file area will be saved.
Optionally also the file database will be updated. If you
haven't set the flag 'Update file database when editing
FILES.BBS' you have to do a UploadCheck in all file areas
you have moved files into!
■ Added support to not convert new files for some days in a
filearea so that files from FileNets are not converted until
your downlinks had polled them.
■ You now may setup a different Arcer for every filearea.
■ Added EGA 43 line support. Added support for Zoo.
■ A new switch disables that FileScan adds new files to the
database. Useful for areas in which you perform a UploadCheck,
so it does'nt matter if you perform UploadCheck before
FileScan or afterwards.
■ Added a switch for quick FileScan. A quick FileScan doesn't
update the size/date/time of a file in the database. This
speeds up the FileScan by 70% ;-)
So the FileScan only verifys the existance of a file.
■ Added a switch for quick UploadCheck. A quick UploadCheck
only adds new files to the database and doesn't updates the
description of known files. This is 70% faster ;-)
■ Added a ARCHIV function that enables you to move old files
into a archive directory so that you may backup these files
before you delete them. This function also creates a infofile
with all file descriptions of the archieved files. The format
of the infofile is YYMMDD.INF, this file will be overwritten
when archive function is called again on this day.
- Archive path: Directory that old files are moved into
- Incl. drives: SYSOP checks this drives for free diskspace
- Min MB free : SYSOP moves files into the archive directory
until this amount of free space is reached.
This also works if no space is really freed up.
e.g. because the archive directory is included
int the 'Incl. Drives'.
- No day past : Only files older then this days are archieved.
- Max. d/l's : Only files with less downloads are archieved.
Specify 0 to disable function.
■ It's also possible to not activate the ScreenSaver, but instead
quit SYSOP. This is for those of you who call SYSOP manually
from the BBS/Mailer and forget to quit. You may also define the
delay of inactivity until those function will be activated.
■ Added a feature to add GIF resolutions to all adopted GIF's
during FileScan and its also possible to add the resolution
to all GIF's that don't have a file description.
Its also possible to design the outfit of the GIF resoultion
with following macros:
%W - Width
%H - Height
%C - Number of colors
■ When you import file areas from your BBS setup only the path
of existing file areas is written to the SYSOP file area
database. Therefore there will be no asterix anymore.
The area description and area number will NOT be updated
so your order in SYSOP keeps the same.
■ Added support for FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI file description
files.
■ Optionally you mal also search for the FILE_ID.DIZ and
DESC.SDI when performing ArcScan.
■ Added a new feature that allows you update your D/L counter
with external Tools/FileDoor. When you set 'Read D/L counter
from FILES.BBS during UploadCheck' you automatically perform
a full UploadCheck and the D/L counter in the database will
be updated from FILES.BBS. In this case Logfile-Read only
updates the Baudrate statistics and doesn't read downloads
anymore!
■ SYSOP is aware of DesqView, MS Windows, OS/2 2.0.
If any of these multitaskes is detected SYSOP gives up
timeslice when in idle state.
