-
- WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS SUPPOSED TO DO
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- MstrMakr will make a complete Master File Listing of all, or just
- specified File Area. It will also optionally archive the list using
- the archiver of your choice. Such as PKZip, ARJ, and LHA. MstrMakr
- supports multiple configuration files, and Multiple FILE_ID.DIZ files
- so you can have one directory for all configuration and .DIZ files.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- Before you start setting MstrMakr up to run, it is a good idea to give
- it it's own directory. This is so that you can have all of your
- configuration files in one place and have easy access to them.
- I kind of like C:\TRIBBS\MSTRMAKR. :)
-
- ==============================================================================
-
-
-
- The first thing you have to do, is make a configuration file. A sample
- configuration file is included in this archive. This file can be called
- anything you want. To run it, just pass the name of the configuration
- as MstrMakr's first parameter.
-
-
- Example: MSTRMAKR MASTER1.CFG
- MSTRMAKR MASTER2.CFG
-
- Sample configuration file:
-
- The Blazing Phoenix BBS <- The name of your BBS
- C:\TRIBBS <- Path to Node 1's Main Directory
- ARCHIVE=YES <- Archive File List when done?
- PHOENIX1.LST <- Name of the Master List to be Created
- PHOENIX1.DIZ <- Name of .DIZ file.
- PKZIP C:\ZIPPED\PHOENIX1.ZIP <- Name and full path to Archive file.
- 3 <- Number of the File Area to be added to the
- 4 < master listing.
- 6 <
- 7 <
- 8 <
- 9 <
-
-
- BOARD NAME: This is the name of your Bulletin Board System. This will
- be displayed in the File List when it is created.
-
- MAIN PATH: This is the path to the main TriBBS directory.
-
- ARCHIVE= LINE: After MstrMakr makes the master list, it can optionally
- be archived using the archiver of your choice (See Below). There are two
- options. ARCHIVE=YES and ARCHIVE=NO. There must be NO space to the left or
- to the right of the equal sign.
-
- MASTER LIST NAME: This is the name of the Master List that will be
- created.
-
- DIZ FILE: This is the name of the DIZ file that will be archived with
- the Master list if the archive switch is set to "YES". This file will be
- copied to "FILE_ID.DIZ" for the archiving process. If it's in the current
- directory, only the name is needed, otherwise you must specify the full
- path. If you do not want a File_Id.Diz in your archive, then just leave
- this line BLANK. This line MUST be present whether you want a .DIZ or
- not.
- NOTE: If the third line in the configuration file is not "YES", then
- MstrMakr will ignore this line but it MUST be present!!!
-
- ARCHIVER AND PATH TO ARCHIVE FILE: Every person has his or her own way
- of doing things. This feature is just for you. This is the command line
- to put the master listing in an archived format. MstrMakr will pass the
- name of the Master List and the Name of the .DIZ file. All you have to
- do is provide the full path and name of the Archive.
-
- NOTE: Your archive utility MUST be in a pathed directory OR you will have
- to specify the full path.
-
- Example:
-
- C:\UTILS\PKZIP C:\NEWFILES\MASTER.ZIP
- C:\UTILS\ARJ A C:\NEWFILES\MASTER.ARJ
- C:\UTILS\LHA A C:\NEWFILES\MASTER.LZH
-
-
-
-
- NOTE: If the third line in the configuration file is not "YES", then
- MstrMakr will ignore this line but it MUST be present!!!
-
- Examples:
-
- PKZIP C:\NEWFILES\MASTER.ZIP <- These examples will archive the Master
- ARJ A C:\NEWFILES\MASTER.ARJ < List and put it in a directory called
- LHA A C:\NEWFILES\MASTER.LZH < NEWFILES with the name MASTER.xxx
-
- NOTE: These can be run with any options that you wish. Just make sure
- that the come BEFORE the path to the file!!!
-
- FILE AREA NUMBERS: These are the numbers of the File Areas that you want
- added to the Master List. The order that the file area numbers are in,
- is the order that they will be put into the Master Listing!!!
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- The next thing you have to do is setup an event batch file.
-
- Example event bat file:
-
- @ECHO OFF
- CD\TRIBBS\MSTRMAKR
- MSTRMAKR MASTER1.CFG <- This is MY Main Files List.
- MSTRMAKR MASTER2.CFG <- This is MY Adult Files List.
- CD\TRIBBS

- CD-ROM USERS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Hey! I wrote this for You guys!!! You can use the multiple configurations
- to make a Master List for your Hard Drive file Areas, and each (EACH?!)
- of your CD-ROMs!!! No more Multiple directories!!! :)
-
- HISTORY
- ~~~~~~~
- 1.2
- ~~~
- Totally rewritten for faster list processing, and now with support for
- TriBBS 5.0.
-
- 1.1
- ~~~
- Added "Creating Master List: filename.ext" to the beginning of MstrMakr.
- I make several lists, (Main, Adult, Extended Access, etc.) and I couldn't
- figure out which one was which until the end of the program. That's all.
-
- 1.0
- ~~~
- I had to have three directories to make my master listings, because most
- "master list" programs (All that I've tried anyway) only support 1
- configuration file. Well I did try one that supported 2 config files. But
- they were for the same Master List!!! Double the typing! Well, as you can
- see I got pissed and had to write my own. I also wanted the File Area
- number to be displayed.
-
