======================================================================
ATTENTION !!!
======================================================================
Use MasterALL at your risk ! The program was tested in a BBS running
Maximus CBCS 2.01wb and worked fine, use it by your choice...
MasterALL is a shareware product result of many days of work. You
can use it 30 days for experience and after this period, if you want
to keep using it you must register sending me U$ 10,00. The
registration form is in the end of this document. This is a fully
functional version of the program. I made no restrictions and I
believe that you will respect the ShareWare concept and will register.
Doing it you will encourage me to do new and improved versions !
I will apreciate to receive suggestions, opnions and bugs about this
program. InterNet mail is the prefered way to contact me.
You can put MasterALL available for download in your BBS, CDROMs packages,
etc...
======================================================================
==========================
INTRODUCTION
==========================
MasterALL is a easy to use, fully configurable ALLFILEs generator, created
to use with Maximus but also with other BBS that uses the Maximus compatible
files.bbs structures.
* This program was only tested with Maximus ! If you are running it with
other BBS Software and find any problem, contact me by EMAIL !
MasterALL has a lot of options that make it one of the most powerful
ALLFILES generator actually in the shareware market.
Options :
- FULLY configurable
- Support for any foreign language
- Generates an Area Index
- Estimated tranfer time display for 2400,9600,14400bps
- Support for ident margin when a download counter is being used
- Support for /T /B /TB (Maximus only)
- Support FILEAREA.CTL (Maximus only)
- You can make a full ansi color allfiles (great!)
- much more...
=========================
HOW TO INSTALL
=========================
If you didn't uncompressed all the files yet, do it now !
Create a directory for MasterAll and copy the EXE and CFG file to it.
ALL DONE ! Only it ! Why do a complex installation ??? :-))
=========================
HOW TO CONFIGURE
=========================
Now you need a ASCII text file editor (like EDIT (DOS), SideKick, QEDIT...)
to configure your Mstrall.cfg file.
All the information you need to configure MasterAll is in the MSTRALL.CFG
file. Follow the instructions there and save your work when finished.
To run MasterAll you can do a BAT file like this :
cd\MstrALL <- Directory where MSTRALL can be found
MSTRALL
or you can put it in the path, and run from anywhere passing the path to
the MSTRALL.CFG file as a parameter, like this :
MstrALL c:\MSTRALL\MSTRALL.CFG
* Look that you can use multiple configuration files with different names
and so, create different ALLFILES (ex: with ANSI, without ANSI, etc...)
=========================
SOME HINTS for MAXIMUS
=========================
If you are a MAXIMU'S SYSOP you can tell to MasterALL to get all the
paths and area descriptions from the FILEAREA.CTL file. If you want to
do this, make sure that the AreaFromCtl command are uncomented and with
the right path and filename for your filearea.ctl (c:\max\filearea.ctl).
If you have some private areas that you don't want to show in the ALLFILES,
use the CtlExcludeArea to remove this areas from your allfiles.
Very easy, no ?
