- How to utilize Filepather (FP) in CNET - by Neurodancer/ABYSS.
- ==============================================================
-
- Okey dudes, this won't be very difficult, as CNet is a highly
- developed BBS program. :) ...unless some other bearing cryptic chars
- in their names, adding coolness to it... :)
-
- 1. Textfiles (suffixes .txt, .dok, .doc, .nfo)
- ----------------------------------------------
- Since textfiles usually can't be tested for their integrity, and since
- with the use of FP you don't need no Aqua-Fuck-Fast-kill-me-now-adder
- for your textfiles, I strongly recommend you to include FP as checker
- for those filetypes, instead of adding more crap to a solid textfile,
- making it close-to-unreadable.
-
- Start the CNET configprogram, enter the Archivers section, if they
- don't exist already create entries for the above filetypes and enter
- at the "Test format" stringbox: "filepather >%s FILE %s".
-
- Leave all other boxes free, you can of course add as "Pack format" the
- usual "<do not remove .TXT>" which CNet has set by default for
- textfiles.
-
- 2. Archives (suffixes .lha, .lzh, .zip)
- ---------------------------------------
- As you might guess, we are using the xscripts for the purpose of
- filepathering an archive. If you already have xscripts (for stripping
- etc.) simply add this line to your "xlha2lha", "xlzh2lzh" and
- "xzip2zip" xscripts located in your S: directory to be active (and to
- the others FP might support in the future!):
-
- a) without output given to the BBS screen:
-
- Filepather >nil: FILE "{PATHF}"
-
- b) with the FP output displayed in the BBS:
-
- delete >nil: t:result.txt FORCE
- Filepather >t:result.txt FILE "{PATHF}"
-
- additionally, load your "bbstext" in your fav editor, and paste in at
- line 1909 (CNet/3), before it says
- "\n1Transformation completed.\n1"
- "\n1{*0 t:result.txt}
-
- (Obviously, "\" is a Ctrl-Y and "{" is a Ctrl-Q MCI introducer)
- You surely noticed this is a very cheap trick. But it works, so
- what?
-
- Thats all there is to do! Now go and use it, and throw away all your BBS
- adds that only get on everyones nerves! :)
