version 1.00 Compiled 12/12/92
LEFTOVER is NOT compatible with Wildcat! versions before 3.0
The program requires BRUN40.EXE in the path.
A public domain utility for Wildcat! SysOps
from the Charlatan's Cabin BBS
(213) 654-7337
WHAT IT DOES:
=============
LEFTOVER will search your CONFDESC.DAT file to determine the assigned
conferences on your BBS, and build a list of all of the paths to message
data files. It will then build a cross-reference table of all of the
files that exist in those paths, compared to the files which belong
to active conferences.
LEFTOVER will then generate a report, indicating any missing files, as well
as any stray "leftover" files from conferences you might have deleted or
reassigned.
After viewing LEFTOVER.RPT, you may eliminate any unnecessary files. Note
that LEFTOVER searches only for .DAT and .IX files, and will not report on
.DIA or .CRC files, since these are optional files depending on how your
system is set up, and their absence will NOT create problems on your BBS.
Incidentally, LEFTOVER will store and search up to 100 directories for
message data files, and of course will handle up to 1000 conferences.
SETTING UP:
===========
Be sure that you have BRUN40.EXE available in the path. This Microsoft
runtime module is required for the program to run. If you don't already
have it, it's probably available on the BBS where you got this program,
or you may call the Charlatan's Cabin BBS. See below for details.
No configuration is required for LEFTOVER.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM:
====================
Simply run LEFTOVER either manually or from a BATCH file.
LEFTOVER will produce a file called LEFTOVER.RPT which looks
something like this:
╒════════════════════╕
│ Your BBS Name Here │
╘════════════════════╛
CONFERENCE DATABASE FILE REPORT
══════════════════════════════════
Generated 12-12-92
CONF STATUS
──── ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
0 Stray .DAT & .IX files found in C:\WC30\MSG2\
6 Missing .DAT & .IX files from C:\WC30\MSG2\
197 Stray .IX file found in C:\WC30\MSG\
199 Stray .DAT & .IX files found in C:\WC30\MSG\
363 Missing .DAT & .IX files from C:\WC30\MSG\
PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS:
======================
LEFTOVER is public domain. I don't seek or accept any donations for this or
any of my other Wildcat! utility programs, including TODAYBBS, FLOP, FSTAT,
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.
REVISION HISTORY:
