5.0 - Introduction
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What does L-List do? Really a lot of things... you can use it to
make file lists, to edit your Files.Bbs, to announce new files, to
answer to msg requiring info about files in your BBS, to rewrite
your Files.Bbs, can keep an index file of all your files (used by
Lora for file request), can process TIC files, can process
uploaded files testing integrity and presence of virus. The major
advantage in having all these options together in the same utility
is that you will have to configure only one program and that many
functions can be accessed from options that usually are not
designed for this (for example, you can hatch files inside the
files.bbs editor just pressing a key and you can update the magic
names both in OkFile and in headers of file lists automatically
when processing Tic files).
The first time you run L-List, you will subscribe the terms for
evaluation period (up to 30 days); at the end of this period, you
can choice between registering the software or deleting it, if you
think that it is not useful; however, you can distribute the
original archive, if you do not modify it and if no additional
cost is required (except distribution expenses). You can insert
this archive (with no modification) in any shareware collection
(Cd-Rom, for example), but please let me know about it.

6.0 - Setting up
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
6.1 Supported BBS
L-List reads directly info from several configuration files; it
can use Lora's SysFile.Dat (2.35), SuperBbs' FlSearch.Bbs (1.16),
Maximus' Area.Dat (2.00). L-List can run even with only a Tic.Cfg,
with no need for Bbs configuration files.
6.2 Install
Make a directory, named LLIST, and unpack there all files in the
distribution package; L-List must be able to locate your file-area
configuration files (if you use it with a Bbs); this can be easily
made setting dos environment variable LORA or MAX, or setting it
in keyword BbsDir of LList.Cfg. If you have no Bbs (or a Bbs that
is not supported), run Scan_Cd to import file areas from your HD &
CD. Now L-List is ready to run, enjoy it! If L-List can't find
your BBS cfg files, you will get areas only from Tic.Cfg (you must
copy your standard Tic.Cfg in L-List directory, create it if you
don't have any).
6.3 Configure
L-List uses a configuration file, where it will get parameters to
run; most of them can be re-defined by command line (see next
section).
L-List can run even without its config file, using default
parameters; anyway, you should better edit example .Cfg (contained
in LLISTCFG.ZIP); no matter with it; large comments are provided
to help you in this work. In this way you will obtain better
performances tuning fine L-List. In order to get L-List to run,
follow these steps;
* Copy your standard TIC.CFG to L-List directory (or create it if
you don't have any, notes about its format are given in the TIC
section of this doc), then run L-List; a few messages will appear
(some cfg files will not be found); exit L-List now;
* Edit LLTIC.CFG, that will have been created at this point using
info read in TIC.CFG; change things that have non been imported
correctly (mainly, you will need to change address of TicAreas,
add a line "Flag *&" to TicAreas which are used to send pre-
release to your uplinks, adjusting TIC levels, adding line
"Notify", "Hold", "Crash", "Create" to TicNodes, assign right
group to each TicArea, change some info about TicGroups (for
example, SDN file areas will have been put in two different groups
named 1 and 2; create a unique TicGroup named SDN, and add two
lines in it to indicate both GroupId ("GroupId 1" and "GroupId
2"); note that you will still need TIC.CFG, as L-List uses both
files;
* A Raid.Cfg can be created, copying FileBone.* ; this will be
used for description of TicAreas;
* At this point, you can edit LLIST.CFG, where you will define
some general info (NetMail AreaId, Inbound and OutBound dir and
some other things); note that if you do not do this, L-List tries
to read these info in Lora's Config.Dat, then in Tic.Cfg and at
last will provide as default value INBOUND\ and OUTBOUND\ in L-

7.52 Packer
Some packer names (ZIP, ARJ, LHA, LZH, ARC, PAK) are used to run
internal compressed file viewers, and should therefore be
associated with right packer; any other packer is not supported by
internal viewer. Packer names must be 3 chars long, and indicate
extension of compressed file.
%1 is the name of the compressed file, %2 is the name of the
file(s) to compress/uncompress; if %1 or %2 are not specified,

Packers ZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR and UC2 are already hard-coded, however
you can re-define them to change commands.
Following keywords are used to identify packer. L-List will look
for ID sequence at OffSet <OffSet>. SfX archives are identified
searching ID after REAL exe size (with some known exceptions).
Ex: OffSet 0
ID 504B0304
Follwing keyword will be used to compress and uncompress file in
that kind of archive; these commands should allow recompressing.

The tag after the keyword AnnounceMsg, up to 8 chars, must contain
only letters. It is used to identify each msg.
You must not re-define always: Origin, From, Address, To, Subject,
Prefix, Suffix, as LList will take this values from those defined
in previous Msg; DestAddress (only for NetMail) and KludgeFdn must
be always re-defined.
These are the initial values:
ORIGIN = <BBSName>

8.0 - Selecting global parameters
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
8.1 AREA <n>|<n1-n2> [<n>|<n1-n2>]
Adds the file area specified by <n> [<n>], or in the range
specified by <n1-n2> [<n1-n2>]... this command can be specified
more than once, first area is 0 and last 32767. Using Lora, area
number can be different from the record position in config file,
as L-List uses area number specified in the area file
configuration.
8.2 GROUP <n>|<n1-n2> [<n>|<n1-n2>]
Same as AREA option; select groups to list.
8.3 MAXLEV <n>
L-List will discard file areas whose level is greater then
specified level in numeric form. Can't be greater of MaxLev
command in LList.Cfg.
8.4 NEWDAYS <n>
This option overwrites the parameter defined in config file (look
at it for details). Can be used with n=0 if you don't want to
generate new files list, with n>0 will be used as max number of
days that a file must have to be inserted in new files list.
8.5 ORY (ORN), OFY (OFN), OTY (OTN)
These options will let you select the kind of files to list: L-
List knows 3 kinds of files, which are ORFANI (presents in the
download directory and not listed in Files.Bbs and which do not
match any of EXCLUDE parameters defined in config file), OFFLINE
(listed in Files.Bbs but not present in download directory), and
other files (files which are not orfani and are not offline).
Each of these kinds can be separately selected by command line:
OTY (select other files) is default parameter, default parameters
for OR e OF will be got from config file (Orphan and OffLine
keywords).
8.6 BDL <n>
This option will generate a list of Best Downloaded Files. <n> is
the number of files to be classified, L-List will create a .ASC,
.ANS and .AVT bullettins, and a report is added at the head of
file lists.
8.7 NOOKFILE
This option prevents L-List from create OkFile list, with list of
downloads directories (used for file request by Lora and Binkley).
8.8 SORT, SORTDATE
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 18
These options are used to sort files; default is NoSort, that is
files will be listed in the same order they are found in
Files.Bbs. Files will be listed in order specified in command line
only among each section of Files.Bbs standing between comments;
this has been done to preserve old comments, as a complete sort
would have put comments in wrong places; this option is active
only when making file lists, while when fixing Files.Bbs L-List
will use value found in option FixFBbsSort. In other options
(search and announce) files will always be sorted alphabetically.
This parameter does not affect order of NewFiles that is always
sorted by date.
8.9 VC, VCN
Using this option, L-List will list content of compressed files;
.LZH, .ZIP, .ARC (.PAK) and .ARJ are supported (self extracting
too). This option will also list specifics of graphic files .GIF
(version and resolution). VCN will list content of files only if
they are new (that is, whose age is less than Newdays). This
option can be used with Search option too, adding -VC (-VCN) to
the string to look for (for example, Search:/Fax_/Modem_-VC).
8.10 CD, NOCD
Include only Cd-Rom areas (Exclude Cd-Rom areas, that is include
only HD areas). If used together, no area will be listed.x
8.11 NODB
Used in conjunction with Search option in local mode, prevents L-
List from searching files in LList.Db.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 19
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
9.0 - FileList
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
By default L-List creates AllFiles.Txt, complete list of your
ksystem, NewFiles.Txt, files newer than 90 days sorted by date
(new files before), and OkFile.Lst, list of download paths for use
with binkley and compatible front-end. At the head of Allfiles.Txt
and NewFiles.Txt L-List adds several infos: a list of listed file
areas, a list of Magic Names (that you must have previously
defined in LList.Cfg), and a report of Most Downloaded Files. You
can insert your banners at the end and at the foot of the lists,
adding their names after keyword HEADER and FOOTER in LList.Cfg.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 20
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
10.0 - FileIdx
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With this option L-List will update/create an index file which is
used by Lora for file requests (with performances better than
using OkFile); L-List uses this file too, in order to detect new
files to announce.
*Hint* FileIdx is automatically updated after announce, so define
an AnnounceMsg that will scan all areas and run announce option to
keep this file updated.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 21
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
11.0 - FixFBbs[,<opt>]
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This extended option will rewrite Files.Bbs, according to the
options specified; for example, using OFN e ORY will let you
import orphan files (adding a line in Files.Bbs with file name and
standard description defined in config file as ORPHANSTR and
getting description from File_Id.Diz contained in compressed file;
imported file will be updated so that it will be found as new by
Announce option) and deleting description of deleted files from
Files.Bbs.
New Files.Bbs will be sorted according to the cfg option
FixNewFBbs (default, no sort). If you select OTN, the new index
file will be created with extension .NEW, otherwise the old
Files.Bbs will be overwritten and a back-up Files.Bbs, with
extension .BAK, wilol be created.
You can import description from File_Id.Diz from any file using
FixFBbs,ReadFile_Id (by default, this option is only active for
imported orphan files; using ,Pack too will rewrap description got
from File_Id.Diz), and repack files different from Repack type
(look at example cfg) to Repack type using FixFBbs,Repack, make a
check using FixFBbs,Check (you can define BadFiles and
InfectedFiles download directories, so that L-List will move files
that do not pass the test).
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 22
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
12.0 - Announce
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This option will write Msg with announce of new files. Detection
of new files is based on date (a file is new if its date is
greater than the last time you ran Announce) and on the presence
in index file (see FileIdx section above). L-List will never
search new files in Cd-Rom areas and will not announce files that
match any of ANNOUNCEEXCLUDE keywords. You must define AnnounceMsg
in LList.Cfg (by default, L-List will make an announce to Sysop in
NetMail scanning all file areas, useful to maintain FileIdx index
file).

14.0 - Search
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
14.1 Scan Msg base
Using only SEARCH, L-List will scan msg areas specified in config
file looking for Msg to "AllFix", "AllFix+", "LList" and to
"FSearch"; you can specify keywords in Msg Subject, separated by
spaces (enclose in double quotes if keyword contains spaces), or
in Msg Text, in lines starting with DIR or KEYWORD; L-List has a
powerful wildcard management, using "?" and "*" you can easily
search every file. When a valid Msg is found, L-List will process
the information request searching in areas specified in Search
definition (look at Example.Cfg for details), and will answer if
it finds files which match the information request.
14.2 FSearch syntax
You must specify strings to search for in the msg subject; L-List
will answer to your Msg if any matching file is found (or even if
no file was found, but it was a private Msg); if many files are
found, L-List will stop search when it has found more than
SEARCHMAXFILES files, adding at the end of the answer Msg info on
how to obtain more info (that can be done sending a Msg with same
subject but now addressed to LLIST <Node>, that is simply
answering to L-List response message).
14.3 Path strings
Path strings are only searched in file name, in Dos style; you you
can also use the "*" to match filenames with specific letters
somewhere inside the name, for example *113*.*; you can use
wildcards in any combiantion you desire, for example LL*ST*.*; a
path is specified as it is in a Msg Subject;
14.4 Keyword strings
Keyword strings are searched in file description, conceptually a
<keyword> is always searched as if it were *<keyword>*, and it can
contain wildcards like a path ("?" and "*"); it can be specified
in Msg subject (or in command line) preceeded by a "/" or between
""", that is you must write either /4DOS or "4DOS" if you want to
search 4DOS in file name and in file descriptions. Other robots
often do not support wildcards in keyword strings, if you are
writing a Msg that will be processed by other filefinder, add
another keyword in subject of Msg obtained stripping "*" and
substituting "?" with blanks; this keyword string will not affect
L-List performances, as L-List searchs only most generic strings
(does not search for strings that will be automatically matched if
a more generic string is matched).
14.5 Boolean operators
Normally, different strings specified in the same subject are
searched assuming a OR conncetion; if you want to search files
that match two or more strings, you must write AND between each
other. A not operator is supported too; if the first char of a
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 27
string or of a path is a "~" (#126), only files that do not match
the string will be found.
14.6 Local searchs
If you specify the strings to search for in the command line after
a "SEARCH:", L-List will scan directly file base; the format is
the same used in msg subject, except that blanks can't be used and
must be substituted by underscore.

15.0 - Tic
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
With this option, L-List will manage tic files; tic areas and tic
nodes must be defined in LLTic.Cfg. Tic nodes can be given
several flags (Level, Create, AutoLink, Notify, NoTic, Packer,
that can be set/reset through RAID processor). Tic area will
contain general info about the area (Level, Repack, Flags), while
info about echo nodes will be read from a standard Tic.Cfg file.
When you run TIC option, L-List first will scan NetAreaId
searching Msg to Raid, then will process Tic files in inbound dir,
and at last will make announces if any Tic has been correctly
processed. The first time it will be enough to edit a Tic.Cfg file
like following (LLTic.Cfg will be automatically created, and will
need some minor changes later):
=============================================
AREA D:\file\ECHOLIST ECHOLIST
1:150/503 Passwrd1 *C
1:150/3 Passwrd2 H
AREA c:\subdir SOFT
1:129/11 hithere *
1:266/22 bloom FC
1:266/21 hat C
AREA c:\file\ticktest TICKTEST
Local ListName c:\files\RBBS.LST
1:266/1 Passwrd1 CA0
2:512/26 Pass2p HA1
==============================================
15.1 RAID
The RAID processor is very powerful; these are the commands
available to each node (some additional commands will be available
to RemoteMaint nodes, allowing them to send them commands for
other nodes and change some reserved options like level and
other).
15.2 Help
%HELP Info about use of RAID
List of available RAID commands with a short help;
15.3 Area list
%LIST Index of available file areas
Index of available file areas; the name will be preceeded by a
char, that will show if it is already linked ("*" or "+", "+"
means that area is linked but its level is greater than node
level, that is it can't be unlinked) or unlinked (no char or "-",
"-" means that area can be linked because its level is too high);
after the name, follows the info about level and flags, and then a
description of the area (you will need to edit Raid.Cfg to add
descriptions, otherwise this fiels will report simply the tag);
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 29
15.4 Linked area list
%QUERY Index of linked file areas
Index of available file areas; only linked areas will be reported
using this command;
15.5 Unlinked area list
%UNLINKED Index of unlinked file areas
Index of available file areas; only unlinked areas will be
reported using this command;
15.6 Resend a file
%RESEND <FileName> Resend file that matches <FileName>
The <FileName> will be re-hatched to the requiring node; you must
be linked to the area (identified by the download path) in which
the file is found;
15.7 Rescan file base
%RESCAN Send all files in areas linked after this line
This command, used before linking one or more areas, will force
RAID to send newfiles (according to %DAYS) that are already
present in the linked areas;
15.8 Rescan limits
%DAYS <n> Max days for rescan
Maximum number of days that a file must have, in order to be
considered new and be resent by a %RESCAN;
15.9 Global info about a node
%INFO Some info about your node
This will report the current setting for several flags and
options;
15.10 Link groups
%[-]AUTOLINK <Groups> AutoLink to new created areas of selected group
When a new area is created, L-List will try to detect if it
belongs to a TicGroup looking at the beginning of its tag;
%AUTOLINK and %-AUTOLINK will let you link/unlink to a TicGroup,
so that you can automatically link to any created area;
15.11 Monthly report
%[-]NOTIFY Set Notify status
RAID will monthly send a report of files received/sent to nodes
which have this flag active;
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LLIST v1.04b4 - Page 30
15.12 %[-]TINYSEENBY Set TinySeenBy status
This command will allow you to remove most of Seenby lines from
.Tic that will dramatically decrease their size;
15.13 %[-]ANNOUNCE Set Announce status
This command will let you choose the state for Announce flag; if
set to YES, a netmail msg will be sent to a node each time a new
file is sent to him;
15.14 %[-]SENDTIC Set SendTic status
This will send files without the correspondign .Tic;
15.15 PWD <password> Change your TIC password
Password used in .Tic (Pw field);
15.16 %PACKER <packer> Change your packer
Setting a packer differnt form NONE (Example, ZIP, ARJ, ...), L-
List will pack all .Tic in a same file (.ZIC, .AIC, ...); note
that L-List automatically detects this file and can process the
received ones automatically;
15.17 Add/Remove areas
%[+]ALL Add all areas
%-ALL Remove all areas
[+]AREATAG Add area AREATAG
[+]AREATAG* Add areas whose name begins with AREATAG
-AREATAG Remove area AREATAG
-AREATAG* Remove areas whose name begins with AREATAG
These command can let you link/unlink a single file area or a
bgroup (Note: %ALL is the same as *, %-ALL is the same as -*);
using *, AutoLink will be modified too, if any TicGroup has a
GroupId that starts with the name of the area; for example, if you
sxend a command 1-*, you will be linked to all areas whose tag
begins with 1- like 1-GAME, 1-UTIL, etc; then, if you have defined
a TicGroup SDN whose GroupId starts with 1-, you will be
autolinked to this group);

16.0 - Appendices
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
16.1 Multitasker
L-List is multitasker aware, due to the method it uses to look for
files and to wait for keyboard input; you can run multiple copies
of L-List, setting in each task the environment variable LLISTLOG
to a different value (this will be the full path of L-List log
file). It can be useful to set attribute +r (read only) to
LList.Exe, in order to allow access to Disk Overlay from multiple
programs (Disk Overlay are used if XMS/EMS are not available).
16.2 Bugs
Sometimes you could get a Runtime Error, that will be logged in
your log file; these are the most common:
RTE 003; You have simply miss defined a path name; check LList.Cfg
for wrong path names;
RTE 203: You need more memory, could happen with very large file
areas; run LList after having freed some memory.
If you get any other RTE, please send me info about it: number
(xxx), address (xxxx:xxxx), Files.Bbs of area where it happened,
your LList.Cfg and command line you used.
