- RyNEWF V 1.0
- Copyright 1993 Douglas DeLonay
-
- RyNEWF is a shareware product. If you try it out and plan on using it a
- registration fee is required. For more information on registration go to the
- end of the file.
-
- Though I took care to see that this software is error free I can not be
- responsible for any damage that you believe is caused by your use of this
- software. All responsibility lies with you the user of this product.
- RyNEWF supports multi-node BBS's and using file locking to assure file
- integrety. If you use the multi-node option you will need to add the correct
- commandline option. For RYBBS SYSOP's you'll need to put
-
- RyNEWF %1NODE
-
- as a commandline option. Also RYBBS sysops using the multi-node option will
- need to add the %NODE command to your menu command that calls the batch file
- for RyNEWF. i.e.
-
- SRUN,N,5,5, [N]ew files ,*RyNEWF %NODE
-
- For non-RYBBS users of RyNEWF just put NODE as the command line..
-
- RyNEWF NODE
-
- SHARE.EXE MUST be loaded for the multi-node option to work. If SHARE isn't
- loaded and you have the multi-node options set you will get sveveral error
- messages, and then the program will abort. Multi-node users see the discussion
- about naming the configuration file.
- You can specify the path to the door drop file via the command line if you
- wish. use the FPATH option
-
- RyNEWF FPATH[file path]
-
- Do not include the filename. Filename is specified in the CFG file only.
- If you use this option make sure you do not have the path listed in the CFG
- file. You can specify file path in CFG file only if you don't use this option.
-
- RyNEWF is a new file lister. It is mainly meant to be used in first.bat
- for users to scan for new files at log-on instead of having to go to the file
- menu to scan for them. RyNEWF using download.bbs to tell it were the file
- directories are. It will also use the security settings in download.bbs to
- decide wither to scan the directory or not. RyNEWF has an extra security
- option. You can tell RyNEWF which file directories to scan via the .CFG file.
- In this case it will still use the security field in download.bbs to decide
- wither to show it. The first time a user uses RyNEWF it will scan using a date
- one year prior to the date they are on. After that it will scan from the last
- time they used RyNEWF. So if they don't scan using RyNEWF when logged on the
- date used to scan will not change. It does not use last log-on date.
-
- make a configuration file that ends with '.CFG'. The name of the
- configuration file is command line definable. i.e. To have RyNEWF accept a
- .CFG file called MYFILE.CFG just put the filename on the commandline like so
-
- RyNEWF MYFILE.CFG
-
- If you leave out this commandline option RyNEWF will by default try to locate
- RyNEWF.CFG as the configuration file. The command line option would be most
- usefull to multi-node BBS's that don't want to copy there dropfiles to the
- RyNEWF directory.
-
- \rybbs\curruser ;path to dropfile *
- \rybbs\download.bbs ;path to download.bbs-must include filename
- 1,2,5 ;line numbers in download.bbs to scan
- The Home of ZIGGY ;name of BBS no trailing or leading
- ;spaces please. Will display
- ;'<UNREGISTERED>' instead of BBS name until
- ; registered.
- *supports drop files- curruser.bbs(x), door.sys, and dorinfo1.def
- Do not include path if using commandline FPATH option.
- Dorinfo1.def and door.sys file users must include the filename and extension.
- RYBBS SYSOP's DO NOT put in the extension. RyNEWF will determine the correct
- extension for RYBBS curruser file by using the NODE instructions discussed
- earlier.
- To call RyNEWF first make sure all the RyNEWF files are in the same
- directory, and call RyNEWF from that directory.
- You can leave the third line blank if you want to have RyNEWF scan all
- directories according to security only. If you don't want RyNEWF to scan
- certain directories at all you must list all the line numbers of the
- directories you want to scan. i.e.
- 1,3,5,7 <--line 3 of RyNEWF.CFG
- say you have 10 lines in your download.bbs file. The above would scan
- the directories in line one, three, five, and seven according to security.
- Lines 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 wouldn't be looked at all.
-
- Has the ability to use fossil driver. adding FOSSIL to the command line
- will tell RyNEWF to attempt to use fossil driver. If fossil driver isn't
- loaded RyNEWF will attempt to use it's own interrupt port routines. By
- default RyNEWF will leave fossil active. Adding a U top the FOSSIL command
- will tell RyNEWF to unload the fossil driver on exit.
- i.e. RyNEWF FOSSILU -use fossil driver and unload on exit
- RyNEWF FOSSIL -use fossil driver and leave it loaded
-
-
- You may also want to try my last caller lister. It is very versatile. can
- add comments, show user time on in military or 24 hour format, plus much more.
- Another fine Door by me is NECKTI. A very nice hangman type door. Can
- challenge computer and/or user. Many sysop options.
-
