FIBU Version 1.00
Yes here it is. THE program to generate filelistings for
QuickBBS ST.
This version is VERY different from older versions. So read this!
This Fibu is totally independent of the mailer you might use,
this in contrast to the older versions.
You just make an CFG file and of it goes. You can use it with
Binkley ST or The Box if you like but must make your own okfile
(Binkley) or request.cfg (for The Box). BUT the format of the CFG
file for fibu is so that you can make a cfg file from an okfile
or request.cfg file with an editor.
The Scan options have been taken out. They are available as a
seperate program called FSU, written by Erno Meffert. Also try
FMOVE from Joop Koopman, a great filemover for your QuickBBS ST
filebase.
You will have to make an FIBU.CFG file in the SAME folder as
FIBU.PRG is in.
The format of the CFG file is simple, for every file area you
want to add you just put in it's path:
e:\atari\qbbsst\
d:\atari\general\
etc.
This will add both those areas to the list. The folder MUST
however contain a files.bbs file. FIBU will also only list the
files which are mentioned in the files.bbs so private and
'hidden' stuf stay of your list.
Read the QuickBBS ST docs about how to create a files.bbs file.
But Fibu needs to know some more, for example how to call the
list of files you want to creat. Mostly ALLFILES.LZH or so.
And you might want to add textfiles between areas, most sysops
want at least one textfile at the beginning of a list in where
they put something about there BBS, fidonet systems should mention
there what wildcards they use etc. etc.
The following characters should be put in the first column of a
line:
; Semicolon, this will be skipped it is a comment line
@ The name of the list you want to write to
! A textfile you want to include
* A comment line you want to be put between areas.
With those options you can do a LOT! Some idea's:
Add download top 10's to your list, use the ! option
Add filearea names to every area, use the * option
etc.etc. These options are very powerfull. Come up with some
idea's.
The FIRST! line of FIBU.CFG MUST contain a @ line. The first
thing Fibu needs to know is where to write the list too :-)
Example:
@c:\text\allfiles.lzh
; My filelist is called allfiles.lzh
!c:\text\info.txt
; Add info.txt to allfiles.lzh
e:\atari\qbbsst\
e:\atari\the-box\
e:\atari\comms\
* And now some textfiles
; Add 'And now some textfiles' to allfiles.lzh
c:\text\
c:\streport\
@c:\text\newfiles.lzh 60
; make a list of files of the last 60 days!
!c:\text\info.txt
; Add info.txt to newfiles.lzh
e:\atari\qbbsst\
e:\atari\the-box\
e:\atari\comms\
* And now some textfiles
; Add 'And now some textfiles' to newfiles.lzh
c:\text\
c:\streport\
So you see you can have SEVERAL file listings! There is no limit.
So you can have seperate lists for atari/ms-dos/amiga files if
you like. By adding a number after the listname you can define
how old files may be. For example: @c:\text\newfiles.lzh 30
Would only put all files from the last 30 days in newfiles.lzh
Nice eh? And it's still fast!
One extra bonus (no I am not finished) you can define either .ARC
or .LZH OR .ZIP. But lharc.ttp or arc.ttp or stzip.prg MUST be in the
same folder as Fibu is in. An *.TXT list will be generated first
and then archived. The *.TXT is NOT deleted so you can use the
list yourself. You can of course delete it in the batchfile if
you like.
I tested this with: ARC 6.02, LHARC 0.60 and 1.1319 and STZIP 0.8
Oke that's it, idea's wishes?
Talk to me brother..
