- Version 1.1
- Written by Ray Novino
- RunWay BBS (215) 623-6203
-
- ┌─────────────┐
- ──────────────────────────────┤ Description ├──────────────────────────────
- └─────────────┘
- RWwarn is a utility which was written to make your callers happy. New
- upload file descriptions are clearly stamped with a WARNING that your
- system has not fully tested the newly uploaded file. Because it is ran
- from your PCBTEST.BAT you have full control over any minor testing that you
- want done before the file is made available.
-
- *-Why Bother?
- I like to have newly uploaded files immediately available to the callers.
- The problem was that many of my uploaders are the authors and they were
- calling long distance. They began complaining that the real time checking
- was costing them money.
-
- There are excellent real time upload checkers out there but they all take
- time. I also wanted something that didn't require the use of the $logoff.bat
-
- ┌────────────┐
- ───────────────────────────────┤ Quick Start├──────────────────────────────
- └────────────┘
-
- 1. Place RWwarn.exe in any sub directory which is available to all nodes.
-
- 2. Modify your PCBtest.bat to call RWwarn. (Sample included)
-
- 3. Make a call to RWcln after you have fully checked the new files. RWcln
- is used to remove the WARNING stamp from your DIRxx after the new
- files have been fully checked. You didn't really think I'd make
- you do that manually did you? RWcln requires the full path and
- name of the DIRxx to process as a command line variable. If you
- have more than one upload directory just make another call to
- RWcln.
-
- Example event.sys:
-
- exzip /TODAY
- rwcln h:\pcb\dir\dir70
- rwcln h:\pcb\shareabl\upld

- ──────────────────────────────┤ Other Stuff ├──────────────────────────────
- └─────────────┘
-
- 1. If RWcln has made a change to your DIRxx it will overwrite your existing
- DIRxx only after making a DIRxx.BAK
-
- 2. RWcln honors all network file sharing and can be run while other nodes
- are active.
-
- 3. I have also included a file named rwwarn.txt which I show my users when
- the board is shelled out to PCBtest.bat I've included it in case some of
- you wanted an idea. (Record #575 in PCBTEXT)
-
- 4. Problems, questions or suggestions? I can be reached at RunWay BBS
- SaltAir or the Sysop conference on most of the echo mail networks.
-
- ┌─────────────┐
- ──────────────────────────────┤ Registration├──────────────────────────────
- └─────────────┘
-
- RWWARN is offered free to all registered PCBoard sysops. If you find that
- you do use it and your callers like it let me know so I won't spend the
- rest of my life feeling that the time spent writing these docs was a
- complete waste.
