The BBS at the End of the Universe 1-201-884-2795 FIDO 1:2606/513
New Jersey TAG Beta, On-line since 1988
Dedicated 386/40, 535meg, USR Dual Standard 2400/9600 v32bis/v42bis
Support also available through FIDO's TAG Door Echo.
Special thanks to Rob and Vic for the TAG structure.
TAG List will read your .DIR datafiles and generate an equivalent output file.
You can then zip this file and place it in a directory and your users can
d/l this system file list instead of looking through on-line.
X - not available yet ! - important o - regular notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE FROM PREVIOUS VERSION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
TAGList no longer uses taglist.1 and taglist.2 and does not generate the
file listing. The new usage should allow you to be more versatile with
the selection and modification of FBOARDS.DAT.
Please read below for new usage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PARAMETERS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
AR=
DSL=
F=Location of FBOARDS.DAT (EX. C:\BBS\GFILES\)
You do not need to specify this if you already
have SET PY= to that location.
O=Output filename (Defaults to ALLFILE.LST if this is not specified)
H=Header filename (Defaults to TAGLIST.HED if this is not specified)
Header file, if exists, is attached to the beginning of
your ALLFILE.LST.
M=MultiNode Directory (EX. C:\BBS\MULTI\)
[FD] Generate FrontDoor compatible OKFILE.LST.
[BI] Generate Binkley compatible OKFILE.LST.
[N=] Create New File list since [Date].
[L] Dynamic file area numbering. Used to concatenate the area numbers
together without leaving gaps.
[K] (Kbytes display intead of bytes) EX. 1024 will be displayed as 1k
[W-] No description word wrap (default is with word wrap)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.7x Beta Release - please report bugs
-------------------------------------------------------------------
o Added [N=] parameter to create New File list since [Date].
[Date] is in the format of:
MM/DD/YY (12/25/92) => New files since 12/25/92. EX. N=12/25/92
DD (30) => New files since last 30 days. EX. N=30
So far the limit for DD is 30...
o Added the missing output file extension in the output.
o Fix Dynamic Link (dont know what happened) and extend M= length.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.7 Update
-------------------------------------------------------------------
o Made this program a freeware.
o Added [FD] parameter to generate FrontDoor compatible OKFILE.LST
o Added [BI] parameter to generate Binkley compatible OKFILE.LST
o Added [W-] to toggle off word wrap in description.
o Added a LIMIT section in this document.
o Outfile name in the end of the output no longer contains the path.
o Displays TAG color for area names during the run.
o Does not leave foreground in bright white color after running.
o If you got the early 1.6:
o The AR= (inclusion/exclusion) parameters below are fully functional.
o Commas are inserted in numbers.
o Aligned total files/size at the end of the output.
o Aligned 'OFF' in Kbyte display mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.6 Major Update
-------------------------------------------------------------------
o Range AR and DSL feature implemented.
! Multiple AR support. Trailing '-' is used for AR exclusion. EX. 'A-'
AR=A Process Dirs that have AR A.
AR=ACD Process Dirs that have either A, B, or D.
AR=B@ Process Dirs that have AR B or no AR (@).
Trailing '-' is used for AR exclusion
-------------------------------------
AR=C- Process any Dir as long as it doesn't have AR C
AR=@- Process any Dir as long as it has any AR.
AR=A-C- Process any Dir as long as it doesn't have AR A or C.
! Added DSL range option.
DSL=50 Only level 50 will be processed
DSL=50+ Level 50 and up (to 255) will be processed (same as dsl=50-255)
DSL=50- Level 50 and below (to 0) will be processed (same as dsl=0-50)
DSL=50-60 Level 50 through 60 will be processed (dsl=60-50 doesn't work)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAMPLES
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally you would just use:
TAGLIST DSL=50- O=NORMAL.LST (process DSL 0 to 50 sections)
If you have adult sections that use AR=A:
TAGLIST DSL=75 AR=A O=ADULT.LST (process only DSL=75 and AR=A sections)
For a true master file:
TAGLIST O=TEST (process ALL sections)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------
o Maximum single file size display is 9999k.
o OFFLINE is now displayed as OFF (if kbyte display chosen)
or OFFLINE (if bytes display chosen)
X If the file does not exist it will make TAG's .DIR as OFFLINE.
