Read the TAGFILE.TXT and following enhancements will be included here.
11-19-91 File names are sent out the port for batch uploading! Added
new parameter to DGS.DEF: On the last line of DGS.DEF add
the communications port your com package uses. Type "/" to
send the upload command with filenames out your comport. Save
yourself the trouble of typing those names in.
11-19-91 Better error traping added.
11-20-91 Added a couple of bells ( no whistles yet ).
11-21-91 Hard Coded DSZ and simplified parameters. Any parameters may
be added which would come normally after the speed command.
Hard coded DSZ port ( your port number ) speed ( your speed
parameter ).
11-23-91 Added Ymodem for upload options. Optimised the code some
and altared structure of the configuration file. You will
need to enter your Ymodem parameters in the DGS.DEF file.
Appropriate menu changes were made to display the new feature.
11-25-91 Added HS/Link Bidirectional Transfer by Samuel Smith and a new
parameter in DGS.DEF to accomodate the new protocol. Also some
menu changes to simplify the interface. Optimised the code in
the effort to keep this program as small as possible. See new
configuration file. For more information on HS/Link read
Samuel Smith's docs. Your port # and speed parameters are included
from what is read from the configuration file ( DGS.DEF ).
11-25-91 Further Reduced Size of code and changed Window arrangement.
11-27-91 Completely Rewrote the Menu interface to Look Like RBBS to
give that familiar "stock" look of RBBS-PC.
Fixed Bug: Tag file name not being written to DGS.DEF on
Carriage return. If no name is entered it
defaults to the current name rather than
writing a blank line.
Added: (Changed) ESC command and included it in the menu.
Added: Delete File List Command.
Added: Xpert mode.
Reduced size of code to keep overhead to bare minimum.
11-28-91 Added new config file option. Enter EXE if using DSZ.EXE or
COM if using DSZ.COM. This is the last line in the DGS.DEF file.
More menu Changes -
12-02-91 Added: BiModem and new parameter. Bimodem string follows
HS/Link in DGS.DEF
Added: Screen writing routines and messages so TAGFILE is
more informative as to what it is doing.
Removed hard coding of Speed for modems working at variable
Connect rates.
Reduced Code.
Changed Arrangement of Menu Commands.
12-04-91 Problem: DIRN.EXE was listing subdirectories as file selection
options. This is now corrected.
Added: DIZ file description option. Some BBS systems ( PC-Board)
use the DIZ file for posting the uploaded file description without
prompting the uploader. ....another step in automating the
BATCH uploading process. RBBS Batch Enhancer may be adding this
or a similar option soon. TAGFILE will now accomodate this
option in the preparation of your batch uploads.
Need: Your favorite file compression utility and a text editor.
Recommended: PKZIP.EXE and QEdit.
Option to Add file descriptions to compressed files: Tagfile
uses ID.BAT which can use any compression format you wish. The
program will pass the file name to add the description to as the
first parameter ( %1 ) and FILE_ID.DIZ is passed as the second
parameter ( %2 ). The included Batch file will execute as follows:
PKZIP FILENAME.ZIP FILE_ID.DIZ
Use any compression utility you wish. When editing the
description I recommend you keep each line length to 43 to 46
chars. Use a text editor in your CONFIGURATION file like QEdit
and NOT a word processor that adds printer control codes! You
can find QEdit on just about any of your favorite BBSs. If
not, then download QEDIT21.ZIP from Church Chatters.
12-05-91 Problem: Exiting tagging utility with cursor turned off.
Cursor is now switched on when exiting the file
tagger.
Problem: Tagging utility not properly listing files specified
Files are now correctly listed.
Added : New config file item to specify DIZ file name.
This is optional and may be left blank. If Blank
TAGFILE will default to FILE_ID.DIZ.
DGS.DEF outline:
Line 1: test.lst <- Name of file listing tagged files (No Path needed);
Line 2: handshake both sz <- DSZ Command line (Zmodem);
Line 3: sb <- DSZ Command line (Ymodem-g);
Line 4: handshake both sb -k <- Ymodem command line.
Line 5: -@ -NV -UC:\BOYAN\DL -S2048 <- HS/Link parameters.
Line 6: /I BIMOD1.LOG <- Bimodem Parameters
Line 6: c:\qed\q.exe <- Path to your favorite text editor( QEdit recommended);
Line 7: 2 <- Communications port you COMM program uses.
Line 8: 19200 <- Communications port speed
Line 9: COM <- If using DSZ.COM enter COM here. If using EXE
enter EXE. If this line is optional. If left blank
TAGFILE.EXE will default to DSZ.COM.
Line10: DESC.SDI <- Text file created by TAGFILE with file descriptions
for files uploaded in batch mode.
