FILESBBS
++++++++
version 1.03 December 21, 1992
File lister for d'Bridge / FIDO systems
a public domain Wildcat! 3.x SysOps' utility by Michael Conley.
[ requires BRUN40.EXE in the path ]
NEW IN THIS VERSION:
--------------------
FILESBBS can be told to SKIP putting a header in the file by using the
command line switch "/NOHD" ... see below for details.
WHAT IT DOES:
-------------
FILESBBS examines your ALLFILES.DAT file and produces a file called
FILES.BBS in each area where you have files listed in the database.
This list can be read by d'Bridge and used to respond to file requests
by other FIDO systems.
THE OUTPUT:
-----------
Here's an excerpt from a typical FILES.BBS display file:
. . . . . . . . .
FILES.BBS created on 12-21-92 for area: SysOp Utilities from the Cabin
From: The Charlatan's Cabin BBS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
300LAST.ZIP WC3.x,Create display files of last NN callers.
DUPEFILE.ZIP WC3.x util finds duplicate/similar files in database.
DUPEUSER.ZIP WC3.x util checks duplicate phones, passwords.
. . . . . . . . .
Running the program:
--------------------
FILESBBS will run automatically from a batch file with NO command line
switches required. Simply be sure that all of the files the program
needs are in the CURRENT Directory when the program is called.
FILESBBS includes ALL files unless you specify "/NOPW" on the command line.
If that switch is found, any password-protected files will be skipped.
FILESBBS normally includes a brief header indicating the area, as well
as the date of the listing. This header can be SKIPPED by using the
command line switch "/NOHD".
FILESBBS will skip any areas (or ranges of areas) which are indicated
using the command line switch "/X=" ... for example:
FILESBBS /NOPW /X=25-30, 36, 41-45, 52, 53
Areas specified after a single /X= switch will be skipped. NEVER include
more than one '/X=' switch ...
Here's a list of the files FILESBBS expects to find:
BRUN40.EXE (anywhere in path)
MAKEWILD.DAT (anywhere in path)
FILEAREA.DAT (anywhere in path)
ALLFILES.DAT (program gets path from MAKEWILD.DAT)
PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS:
======================
FILESBBS is public domain. I don't seek or accept any donations for this or
any of my other Wildcat! utility programs, including TODAYBBS, FLOP, MSTAT,
USTAT, and others.
I welcome suggestions, and will try to help (no guarantees) if there are
problems.
You may contact me at The Charlatan's Cabin BBS (213) 654-7337. Mention
your Wildcat! registration number in the comment and you'll be upgraded to
membership without the usually required registration by mail.
You may also leave a message via CompuServe (70250,220).
Please, NO VOICE CALLS. This isn't meant to be unfriendly, but with
the price of public domain software these days ... I just can't afford
to be "on call." I WILL respond to your questions via my BBS or CompuServe,
or via the Mustang Software registered SysOp BBS.
