FLSEARCH by Roland Guyt for (* PROXYON *) software.
With this software comes no warranty whatsoever. The author is not responsible
for any damage of software or hardware on your system.
What is FLSEARCH?
=================
Flsearch is a program that simply creates a textfile with all paths to
all your fileareas from RA's config file. Frontdoor requires a list with
requestable directories, that's why I made it in the first place,
but it can also be used for programs such as FidoFam and FEBBS.
Requirements
============
Flsearch only works with Remote Access 1.00 or higher.
You just need a reasonable machine, with a reasonable DOS version.
(version 1.00 won't work!). It works on PC/XT machines.
Usage
=====
FLSEARCH [outputfile]
You can simply execute FLSEARCH without any parameters. It then searches
for FILES.RA. If you have the RA environment string set, you can run
FLSEARCH in any directory. Without the environment string (set ra=[path] in
your autoexec.bat) FLSEARCH must be in the same directory as your FILES.RA.
The optional parameter can be used for another outputfilename. The default
is FLSEARCH.CTL. You can also give a path in the parameter.
You can also create a textfile NOTUSE.CTL with paths inside that you don't
want in your outputfile. Simply create NOTUSE.CTL with your favorite
texteditor and place the paths. Useful for fileareas that you don't want
to make requestable.
Example NOTUSE.CTL (also included in the archive):
D:\Private
d:\secretfiles
etc.
Flsearch will work without this textfile offcourse. If the file is not present
it will run much faster, because the algorithm is shorter. It will also use
less memory.
If FLSEARCH can't create or open a file, it will exit with errorlevel 1 with
a verbal message explaining the error.
