- DESCRIPTION
-
- Finally there is a way for normal sysops to do BBS advertisment in a
- 'legal' way!
-
- FilePather is utility which creates a history within an archive
- or a textfile. Each time FilePather is used it will update the list
- with one line of text which is configurable by the user. An example list
- might look something like this:
-
- User John Smith Dallas,Texas 16:43 18-03-95 +1-214-UNPUBL
- BBS Wedlock Halmstad,Sweden 19:54 18-03-95 +46-035-186514
- User Karl Olsson Stockholm,Sweden 21:23 22-03-95 +46-08-UNPUBL
- BBS ANetDevelopment Stockholm,Sweden 22:23 23-03-95 +46-08-59140072
- User Johan Torin Halmstad,Sweden 03:43 24-03-95 +46-035-UNPUBL
-
-
- The benefits are obvious:
- · Only useful information is stored.
- · It's possible to retrive the information from an automatic process,
- since it presented in a strict format.
- · It's readable! :)
- · The size is negligible.
-
- FilePather has the following features:
- · Processes both standard archives & text files.
- · Totally configurable. Easy to add new archivers.
- · Built in AdStripper for text files.
- · Creates a database over names found if used in conjunction with FPBase.
- · Throughport - run other fileprocessors directly from FilePather.
-
- FPBase:
- · Creates and maintains a database of all diffrent names found in the
- savelists, and their frequency.
- · Creates toplists over the most found names.
- · Runs in the background or as an 'one-run' job.
- · Uses little memory; both when running and especially in waitmode.
-
- Both utilities are:
- · Pure! That is; it can be made resident!
- · Made in 100% assembler.
- · Enforcer & Mungwall proof.
-
-
- FilePather has direct support for the following formats: Doc, Arc, Nfo,
- Lha, Lzh, Lzx, Shr, Txt and Zoo. Other formats are easy to add if they
- have a specific suffix.
-
- FilePather is approved and endorsed by Users Standards Group (USG).
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- An installation script is provided, which will ask you for your name,
- number etc. and store this information as environment variables. The
- installation script requries that Commodores Installer utility is somewhere
- in the path. Check so it's installed.
-
- It's possible to either install in bbs or user mode. Examples for Cnet,
- DLG, Excelsior!, MAXsBBS, Reccoon, Tempest and Xenolink is provided, but
- it's probably possible to add FilePather to any BBS program which makes it
- possible to touch a file in the upload procedure.
-
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- · Commodores Installer utility for the installation and setup.
- · Requires 2.04 to run (V37).
