Keep 'Em In Order
By Mark Taylor
©Try That Once! SoftWare 1994
Here's the nitty gritty stuff then!
All code documents and files in this archive are the copyright of me Mark
Taylor.This program may be sold as PD as long as no profit is involved
and all files are kept in archive,also if you use this program more than
once or twice then you must register,otherwise trash it!,the registration
fee is 10 UK Pounds,15 USA Dollars or 15 German DM,and my home address
can be found in these doc's and on the help screen,if you don't register
then there will be NO bug fixes or added features,so it's up to you
really,a lot of time and effert has been spent on this program,and if
you want more programs then register it!! Thats the end of my moaning :)
I hate writting doc's so if you can do better then I'd be most grateful,
The program is totally mouse driven so I thinks it's very easy to use,
but then again I wrote it.I'll describe how to use 'Keep 'Em In Order'
the best I can,so here goes.
What's it do then?
==================
Well since I started beta testing ProBBS (John Carolin) I really like it,
but it has no ASCII file data and uses a binary 'DAT' file,so it's not
easy to see whats on there,so I set about writing a util that would allow
me to alter certain things,delete files and also upload files to the BBS,
as when using version (0.16beta) there was no way of uploading files when
in local mode.So it's a general purpose editing tool,with which you can
alter descriptions and who uploaded the file,upload files,delete files,
make files free or off-line meaning you can now setup CD-Roms.
To start with you need a flat ASCII file called 'KeepEm.CFG',in the same
place as the main program,this contains 2 lines.
Line 1 : Where Probbs.ttp can be found.
Probbs j:\probbs\
Line 2 : Where you keep your FAR files.
Fars j:\probbs\fars\
Also if you are running in Medium Rez,then rename 'KeepEm.Med' to
'KeepEm.RSC'
Main Screen

Info
Type : Button
Description : Calls a screen with my address and E-Mail address',also you
can call a short help screen
Quit
Type : Button
Description : Back to desktop
Load *.Far
Type : Button
Description : Calls the file selector for you to load in a 'FAR',only
files with the extension of 'FAR' will be accepted
Upload File
Type : Button
Description : Checks wether it's a Off-Line file first,and then calls the
file selector,then if it's Off-Line goes straight to the
Description Screen,where you can enter the description and
who uploaded the file,if it's a normal file it copies the
file to the download area does a few checks,and then you
go to the Description Screen
You may use the wildcard characters (* and ?),to upload
files ie *.Zip all Zip files will be allowed,you are asked
to confirm the upload when in this mode
Save *.Dat
Type : Button
Description : Save a altered 'Dat' file,this will be either one that has
had a upload,or deleted or if the date was a bit dodgy( I
found that when STZip adds a comment it takes the file date,
now if this happens to be a folder it's a good chance of
being a '00:00:xx' and you get weird dates,so even if you
have'nt done anything it may still need saving,you'll be
asked anyway )
Delete
Type : Button
Description : You can delete just the entry details or the former and the
file,if you choose just the entry the only the Uploader and
Description will be deleted allowing you to fill these in
again if you change your mind but if you choose 'Both' then
entry and File are deleted,and Filename,description,size
and uploader will be removed,and it's now DEAD :)

Description : Up untill now all files have no setting,but you may now
make the file Free ie Filelists,or Off-Line ie CD-Roms

Description
Type : Editable Text
Description : There are 5 lines of 60 charactors,when a description is
read in it is formatted,it tries to leave a space at the
end of each line,if it can't it will leave one at the
start of the next,this means all 5 lines may be used.
But when saving,only 244 charactors may be used for the
description,also all line are added to each other,so
make sure you leave a space either at the end or the
begining of each line
Right thats about it really,if you can do a better text file send it to
one of my address' and I'll include it in the archive.Now remember if
you want added features then please register the program.
