- By use of this program you agree not to hold the author or his agents
- responsible for any damage which may occur to your computer system,
- software, or any other related materials.

-
- SFTIC, An introduction:
- To put is simple, SFTIC is a companion utility to TICK written by
- Barry Geller for the SPITFIRE BBS. What SFTIC will do is correctly
- fix the file listing in the SFFILES.BBS to the SPITFIRE format. It
- will also make a back up copy of your SFFILES.BBS list and name it
- SFFILES.OLD for your future reference.
-
- How does it work:
- SFTIC works either via a BATCH file or from the DOS prompt. The proper
- syntax for SFTIC to work is:
-
- SFTIC <drive, path, filename> {switch}
-
- For example, if I had an SFFILES.BBS listing in drive D in my DOWNLOAD
- directory I would use SFTIC in this manner:
-
- SFTIC D:\DOWNLOAD\SFFILES.BBS
-
- If I wanted SFTIC to automatically delete and recreate a new SFFILES.OLD
- I would add the "/E" switch after the file name like so:
-
- SFTIC D:\DOWNLOAD\SFFILES.BBS/E
-
- When to run it:
- SFTIC can be run at anytime but is ideally ran after TICK has processed
- a new file. It will quickly look for the new file addition and correct
- it to the SPITFIRE format. Your LISTFMT in your TIC.CFG file must look
- exactly like this for SFTIC to work properly: %3:-13%4:8 %5:9.3 %1.
- Anything else will cause unpredictable results.
-
- Other commands:
- As shown above SFTIC has a switch that will allow you to replace the
- old SFFILES.OLD that it created when it first ran. Below is a result
- of each switch that SFTIC has:
-
- SFTIC - Produces a help screen.
- SFTIC /? - Produces a help screen.
- /E - Will replace SFFILES.OLD with a new copy.
-
- How much does it cost:
- As a shareware author I make part of my living on writing quality
- programs for the BBS community. Unfortuantly is has been my sad experience
- to see that many Sysops will run UNREGISTERED programs for an indefinite
- period. Therefore I am offering SFTIC as an olive branch to you the
- Sysop. If you feel it is worth $5.00 bucks then send it in. If you feel
- it is worth $1.00 send it in, if you feel it is worth 25 cents then send
- that in. Just send in what you feel it is worth. If you feel it is
- FREE then by all means treat it that way. I only ask you drop me a
- message, a letter, or something saying that you like it and use it
-
