- PBmore (C) by Roger Sibert
-
-
- What is PBmore you ask?
- Being one of the first people to use Power Board I immediately found a
- need for a program to create the files.bbs text file in a format that is
- easy to work with, the result of this need is PBmore.
- PBmore is a simple utility for use with any BBS that produces a files.bbs
- file. It creates the files.bbs text file that contains all the files
- available for download. PBmore can be used on any BBS that uses the standard
- setup for files.bbs.
-
- What do I have to gain by registering PBmore?
- If you register PBmore you will all of the following:
-
- 1. The latest version of PBmore mailed to you on your choice of disk.
- 2. Access to the latest registered version of PBmore on my BBS.
- 3. The registered version of PBmore doesn't have the registration add
- in it.
- 4. The registered version of PBmore will put in as many lines of file
- descriptions as you like.
- 5. The output header will have your'e BBS name as well as your name in
- it.
- 6. The output header in the demo version will have problems if you
- have more than 99 files in the directory
-
- What is new about PBmore?
- This is version 1.32 of PBmore, I found and fixed a bug that would
- occasionally cause problems if you used the PBmore 2 or more times. Apperently
- when I did some rework around version 1.0 I lost a line of code that fixed
- this, well now it is back in. PBmore now creates a Header.ans and .asc that
- contains the name of the BBS (if registered) and the total number of files that
- can be found in the download area. This is a minor update to 1.31 barely even
- deserving mentioning, but if I don't, I will forget about it. This version of
- PBmore has a slighty different screening procedure, it is a lot easier to see
- what you are doing.
-
- How do I use PBmore?
- To use PBmore, place PBmore in a directory that is in your path statement.
- Next, go to the file directory you want and type in pbmore at the dos prompt.
- The current version of PBmore does not use your old files.bbs, it will
- add on to the old one.
-
- What is coming next?
- The next release of PBmore I hope to have the following:
-
- 1. It will allow you to enter the file descriptions with word wrap for
- those files that you have a lot to talk about.
- 2. It will scan the original files.bbs file and only add files that
- were not in the original.
-
- What do I do to get my BBS software added to the direct support for PBmore?
- Just mail me a list of files that your BBS software produces or reads in the
- file area and I will add it in. Or you can upload the file to my BBS as listed
- in the PBorder.frm.
-
- What is included in this zip file.
-
- 1. Pbmore.exe - The program itself.
- 2. Pborder.frm - The registration form.
- 3. PBmore.doc - This documentation file.
- 4. History.doc - Revision history of PBmore.
-
- PBmore is writen in Turbo C/C++ on an 80286 without a math coprocessor. Those
- of you familiar with Turbo C/C++ know that occasionally you end up with machine
- specific software. PBmore should run on any machine, it was tested on an
- 80286 and an 80386 sx with no problems. If it doesn't send a letter to the
- following address:
