                          >>> A CEREBRUM RELEASE <<<

         (I can be reached at [e-mail] until further notice.)


                          :HOW TO ENTER YOUR REGNO:
There are three ways to get to the place where you can enter the registration
number tht you get from me:

(1) The first time you run this program (or are upgrading from an earlier
    version).
(2) Type PBFILES /C at the command line.
(3) Type PBFCFG at the command line.

After each of these ways, choose option (A) to enter your regno.


                                :REQUIREMENTS:
A 80386 class processor or better is required as of version 2.0

At least 110k of free conventional memory, 180k of you use the PBFILES /C
approach to enter the configuration editor (70k if you use the PBFCFG.EXE
file solo).

A WWIV BBS with a file section set up.


                   :GETTING STARTED (THE IMPORTANT STUFF!):
For the first time, simply run this from the command line:

PBFILES

This *will* process all the directories that you have specified in your
default inclusion file (use the / command once in the configuration editor to
name, and edit that file).

PBFILES /2  (if running at the same time your BBS is up)


                          ««« ONE LAST THING!!! »»»
If you plan on running this WHILE YOUR BBS is up, then it is *STRONGLY*
recommended that your include the /2 switch for file sharing support.  This
will keep you from crashing your BBS by enabling file sharing support.
Setting this option to ON in the configuration editor (PBFILES /C) does the
same thing.  In this case, do not use the /2 switch.


                 :AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS FINE, FINE PROGRAM:
Welcome to PBfiles!  This is the *most* complete WWIV master file lister to
date.  To get an idea, just read down a little further!

I've been running a WWIV BBS (StarPort Valhalla) for over 4 years now.  In
all that time, I've *never* found a master file list making program that did
what I wanted it to do.  Sure, I've found a few, but inevitably this one
wouldn't do what that one would, and so on.  So PBfiles is born.  A master
file lister that does it all!

THANKS: Kirk of StarFleet Command for being a damn good ßeta (and mostly
        alpha, too) tester and for all the great ideas!

                    : ABOUT THAT FANCY NEW ENTRY SCHEME :
Beginning with version 1.4 of PBstring, and 1.2 of both PBconfig and
PBreplace, I've introduced a new way of entering data.  It will now allow you
to enter data instead of having to enter the new data in its entirety.

The keys that are active are: Backspace, Delete, Insert, left and right arrow
keys, Home, Escape, and End.

The arrows, Home, End, Backspace, and Delete all work in the fashion that
you're used to.

The Insert key toggles insert mode on or off (overstrike).

The Escape key clears the data from the field entirely, allowing you to enter
new data.  If you press Escape, then Enter, the data field will be erased.


             :SPEED TESTS/HOW THIS PROGRAM FARED AGAINST OTHERS:
With this release of version 2.0, I've changed all the internal coding.  I
also don't have those old programs to test against.  However, on my machine,
here are my testing times.

I use a 80486DX4-120Mhz machine with a 2x and a 6x CD-ROM.  10ms and 9ms
harddrives (both on a VESA local bus) are also factors.

Processing 19,104 files on CD-ROM and harddrives, rated fastest to slowest:

PBfiles 2.0 with /Q switch   : 42 seconds
PBfiles 2.0 with /F /Q       : 44 seconds
PBfiles 2.0 with /Q /2       : 43 seconds
WWCFL 2.2                    : 171 seconds
PBfiles 2.0                  : 214 seconds
PBfiles 2.0 with /Q /E /M /V : 424 seconds
FileList v1.0                : 754 seconds
TAM v1.23                    : Did not create a complete listing

So as you can see, PBfiles, with the /Q switch, BLOWS anything else away in
terms of speed.  In fact, letting it create FILES.BBS type files in each
directory (with the /Q switch) is still almost 4 times faster than the next
closest competetor!


         :DETAILED COMMAND LINE SWITCH EXPLANATION & SOME EXAMPLES:
***>>> Please note that {filename} means that you can use *ANY* filename you
       wish.  You can even use complete, valid, DOS path information, too!

The following switches act as toggles (turning the desired option on or off)
in relation to the settings found in PBFILES.INI:

/2
/F  [all variations]
/G
/H
/E
/L
/M
/Q
/V
/W  [all variations]
/X
/Z

These are marked with [TOG]

As of this DOC file writing (version 1.6) PBfiles supports a total of 31
command line switches.  The format for these are:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[what to call this switch]    {example}
/s{filename}  description
              description
example, if any
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[*dump config file]           {/*}
/*            Print the settings from the PBFILES.CFG file into the log file.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[ignore CD-ROMs!]             {/!}
/!            Keeps PBfiles from listing CD-ROM directories.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[+add to existing file]       {/+}
/+            Add file listing information to previously existing file
              listing.  File's "header" info. will not be added.  Total byte,
              number of files, and gold (if applicable) will not be tracked.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[HELP!?!]                     {/?}
/?            Brings up the online help for this program, much the same as
              what you're reading here.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[2 or more windows - BBS up]  {/2}
/2            If you have a multi-line BBS, or plan on running this program
[TOG]         at the same time your BBS is up (like in another OS/2, Windows,
              *or* DESQview window), then INCLUDE THIS SWITCH on your command
              line or set it to use by using the configuration editor.  The
              reason why it is there is that it enables file sharing.  File
              sharing slows things down. SHARE *MUST* BE LOADED TO TOGGLE
              THIS ON!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[do All files]                {/A}
/A            Create PBFILES.INC and process all directories.  Do not use
              this switch in this fashion if you do not want to process all
              directories.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[do All files, don't run!]    {/A!}
/A!           Create PBFILES.INC and process all directories.  Do not run
              the program.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[do All files]                {/AC:\WWIV\OTHER.INC}
/A{filename}  Same as /A except that {filename} will be created as the
              inclusion filename.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[creAte master files list!]   {/A!}
/A!{filename} Create {filename} with all directories and exit program.
              Do not run the program.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Configure PBfiles]           {/C}
/C            Execute the PBFILES.INI editor.  In this, you can set the
              default inclusion file name, create inclusion files by pick
              lists, set COM1-COM4, and set the status of other options.
              Typing PBFCFG from the command prompt does the same thing.
              Using the /C switch by itself will not create any listings.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[limit by DAr]                {/DAP}
/DA{a-p}      Limit output to directories that match the DAR specified.  A
              command line with /DAP would limit the listing to directories
              with a DAR of P.  Can be combined with /DS{#}.  See example
              there.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[limit by DSl]                {/DS50}
/DS{0-255}    Limit output to directories that are equal to, and greater,
              than the DSL specified.  A command line with /DS50 would allow
              all directories with DSL's of 50 and greater to be processed.
              Can be combined with /DA{a-p} as follows:

/DAP /DS50
(This would limit processing to those directories that have DSL's of 50 or
 greater *AND* DAR's of P.)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[DEBUG information]           {/DEBUG}
/DEBUG       Turns on DEBUG information in the PBSTRING.LOG file.  Takes the
             place of having to have a DEBUG.XXX file in existance in the
             current working directory.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Extended descriptions]       {/E}
/E            When this command line switch is used, the files' extended
[TOG]         descriptions (if any) will be toggled.  This will be processed
              in both the master, and FILES.BBS reports (if turned on).  Be
              forewarned, however, that using this switch will slow down the
              process immensely and make the report file sizes grow to very
              large proportions.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[create Files.bbs type files] {/F}
/F            Create, in each hard drive directory processed, a file listing
[TOG]         file specifically for that directory.  This will *not* attempt
              to write to directories that are marked as CD-ROM in
              //DLBOARDEDIT (or as specified by the /R switch).  Used in this
              way, the filename will the data filename (as read from the
              inclusion file) with a .BBS extension.  So UBSYSOP will be
              UBSYSOP.BBS.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[create Files.bbs type files] {/FF}
/FF           Same as /F except that FILES.BBS will the the filename used for
[TOG]         all directories processed.  This overrides the default setting.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[create Files.bbs type files] {/FSTARPORT.BBS}
/F{filename}  Same as /F except that {filename} will the filename used for
[TOG]         all directories processed. This overrides the default setting.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Get Gif resolution]          {/G}
/G            Get a GIF file's height, width, and number of colors and
[TOG]         include it in the report files output.  Will also be placed in
              any FILES.BBS file.  WIll not process GIF's that are not
              physically there.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[strip High ascii]            {/H}
/H            Strip out high and low ASCII characters.  These are characters
[TOG]         that have a ASCII value of greater than 126 and less than 32.
              This option is offered because *sometimes* high ASCII, and even
              more so for low ASCII, characters can cause strange things to
              appear in the listings.  Using this switch can solve most of
              these occurances.  (ASCII codes of 3 {heart} are left
              alone to allow for WWIV color codes.)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[use Inclusion file]          {/IC:\WWIV\OTHER.INC}
/I{filename}  Same as /I except that {filename} will be used instead of
              PBFILES.INC.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Inclusion {datafile} name]  {/I:UBSYSOP}
/I:{datafile} Similar to the other /I switches, but quite different, too.
              When used in this way (note the : in the switch, its important)
              you can specify a single directory, as referenced by its WWIV
              datafile name, to process without the need of making an
              inclusion file beforehand.  Perfect for modding into WWIV for
              instant file lists, by directory, for your users!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[file list masK]               {/KPBFILE*.*}
/K{file mask} The use of this switch will limit the files listed to only those
              that match the file mask you specify.  DOS wildcards are
              accepted.  Entries like PBFILES* will be treated like
              PBFILES*.*.  Works exceptionally well when used with /I:{dfn}
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[suppress Log file entries]    {/L}
/L            Keep PBfiles from making any log entries to PBFILES.LOG. Log
[TOG]         file information looks like this:

[PBfiles v2.00 log file opened: November 01, 1995 at 22:34.38]

[More file information]       {/M}
/M            Give more file information.  Without this switch, the file
[TOG]         information in your output file will look like:

1AD     .ZIP    14k  1AD.UUE-  Stops pings dead in their tracks, emails sender
93DECMOD.ARJ   552k  December 1993 MOD collection from MOD NET
93NOVMOD.ARJ    78k  November 1993 MOD collection from MOD NET

              With this switch, it looks like this:

1AD     .ZIP    14k  1AD.UUE-  Stops pings dead in their tracks, emails sender
                     Papa Bear #1                     [000 d/l's]  (10/25/94)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[list New files]              {/N}
/N            This, with no modifier (see next switch) will force PBfiles to
              list only files that are 14 days old, and newer.
              ** NOTE ** If any of the /F switches are used in conjunction
              with this, then *new* FILES.BBS type files will be created in
              those directories that have files that match the /N limiting
              criterion.  Only the new files will be listed!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[list New files]              {/N7}
/N{days}      Same as /N except that you can change the limiting date. /N7
              would list files 7 days and newer.  /N90 would do 90 days and
              newer.  /N1 would list 1 day old files -- great for creating a
              new uploads bulletin!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Output filename]             {/OTHISONE.TXT}
/O{filename}  This should always have a {filename}.  If used without one, it
              will default to PBFILES.LST, which is the same as not using the
              /O switch at all.  Lets you redirect the file listing
              anywhere you'd like.  Accepts full path names.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Quiet mode]                  {/Q}
/Q            Turn off screen updating.  This makes the whole process a *LOT*
[TOG]         faster!
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[mark drive as cd-Rom]        {/REFG}
/R{drive(s)}  Allows you to mark any drive as a CD-ROM drive.  While the
              program will automatically process directories marked as CD-ROM
              in //DLBOARDEDIT, some of you have those CD-ROM directories
              marked as HARD DRIVE, for whatever reason.  By using this
              switch, you can specify UP TO 9 drives as CD-ROM, and all
              directories located on that drive will be processed as CD-ROM.

/RE      (mark drive E as CD-ROM drive)
/RFGKE   (mark drives E, F, G, and K as CDROM -- order makes no difference)

Using this also marks the directories as CD-ROM in the listings, like this:

       ──══╡Directory Name: Maps and pictures of geography - 40 files╞══──
                                  ──»CD-ROM«──

AUSTINB3.GIF    97k  (512x400x64 ) 64 colors  6 bits

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Verbose directory info]      {/V}
/V            This turns on extra directory information.  Without this switch,
[TOG]         the directory info looks like:

           ──══╡Directory Name: WWIV 4.23 _MODS_ only - 256 files╞══──

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[file eXistence]              {/X}
/X            The reason why my program is so fast is that it does not
[TOG]         normally check for the files' actual physical existence on the
              hard drive/CD-ROM.  If you use this switch, the program will
              then look to see if the file is actually there.  If the file is
              supposed to be on CD-ROM (as marked in //DLBOARDEDIT or as
              specified by the /R{drive} switch), then this is effectively
              ignored since checking CD-ROMs for possibly missing files
              (because you have a music CD in there, perhaps, like I do now
              <G>) can crash your system.  Hard drives, however, are treated
              differently. If the file is there. the the file's size is
              displayed, otherwise N/A will be displayed.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Wwiv colors]                 {/W}
/W            Enable stock WWIV color codes.  These will be embedded into the
[TOG]         output file(s), both master list and FILES.BBS files.  Don't
              yell at me if you don't like my color scheme, instead, see the
              next switch.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[Wwiv colors]                 {/WMYGOODCO.LOR}
/W{filename}  Same as above, except that the colors are read in from a data
[TOG]         file that you create.  This data file is only 1 line long, with
              10 characters in that line.  These characters represent your
              colors (and yes, extended colors a-z and more are supported).
              Mine looks like this:

em5k913n0p

              This is my custom color files, where:  [Only line one is used]
              e - red
              m - light red
              5 - green
              k - light green
              9 - cyan
              1 - light cyan
              3 - magenta
              n - light magenta

              p - light white

              Keep in mind that if you don't have extended colors, you can
              still use this to REARRANGE your stock colors.  This overrides
              the default settings.

[get file's dos siZe]         {/Z}
/Z            This forces the use of the file's DOS (true) file size vice
[TOG]         the file size as reported by WWIV.  Useful for accurately
              reporting those files that have been updated since being
              //UPLOADed to the BBS.  Also forces the true file size to be
              used in determining total byte found in the search.  Can slow
              down the search (especially for files that are located on
              CD-ROM's not in the CD-ROM drive).

                     :THAT WONDERFUL CONFIGURATION EDITOR:
With the release of version 2.0 of PBfiles is included version 1.0 of the
PBfiles Configuration editor.  The commands are fairly self-explanitory, and
pressing each one will either toggle an option or allow you to change it
manually.


                    :ERRORLEVELS AND OTHER BATCH ODDITIES:
I've mentioned before that once this is registered, you can easily sent this
up to automated batch processing.  I do just that. (You can't do it
unregistered because the registration keypress is always something different.)

Here is a few example, right out of my nightly event batch file:

   pbfiles /iadult.inc /oc:\wwiv\gfiles\adult\adult.lst /m

This example creates my specialized adult file listing.  Only adult files
will be in here.  It uses ADULT.INC (via the /I{filename} switch) to choose
the inclusion file.  Output is also rerouted to a more private place.  The
/M switch gives me uploader information and more due to the fact that it is
normally OFF in the config file.

   pbfiles /i /oc:\wwiv\gfiles\gf1\valhalla.lst /ff

This one does my master listing, minus the adult stuff.  The /I makes use of
PBFILES.INC by default, from which I have removed all the adult dirs, and
placed into ADULT.INC.  Still redirecting the output.  /FF creates FILES.BBS
files in all my hard drive directories.

   pbfiles /i /oc:\wwiv\gfiles\gf1\newfiles.lst /n14 /wpbfiles.col

Here's a new file listing for the past 14 days using the /N switch.  Also
checking for physical existence and including my WWIV color codes.


-ERRORLEVELS:  I like errorlevels.  They can tell me a lot when I'm
preforming unattended batch processing.  Here at this programs:

00 - Normal exit - no errors.
01 - PBFCFG.EXE not present in the current directory.
02 - COMSPEC enviroment variable not set.
03 - Could not locate appropriate CHAIN.* file in current directory.

06 - Pressed the wrong key during unregistered keypress sequence.
07 - PBFILES.DAT is missing, CREATDAT.EXE unable to make a new one.
08 - PBFILES.DAT -and- CREATDAT.EXE are both missing.
09 - Error creating PBFILES.DAT file (see PBFILES.LOG).

22 - Error in HELPSCREEN display (2).
23 - DOS v4.0 or later needed for file sharing.

30 - Error opening DIRS.DAT for reading.
31 - Could not open inclusion file.
32 - Could not find inclusion file
33 - Could not open *.DAT (file information file) for reading.


                        :KNOWNE BUGS/INCOMPATIBILITIES:
PBfiles will not properly process those directories which have become
corrupted in any manner.  Since I do not really know what defines a repair-
able corrupted transfer data file, nor how to fix them, I cannot work around
this. Tolkien's (now WWIV Software Services') Transfer Area Manager version
1.23 *can* detect these problems (to an extent) and correct for them.

At this time, PBfiles has *no* known bugs.


                            :DEBUG IN THE MACHINE:
Although the program *will* work with your modem, I am working to make it a
bit better.  As a result, if you are having problems with the modem part of the
program (when using in conjunction with SPV-053x.MOD), then create a simple text
file in your main BBS directory called DEBUG.XXX, it matters not what you put
in this file.  Once this is created, it will log (just as long as you do not
disable the log) all the return values sent from the modem to PBfiles.
With the values, I can better tune this program to work with your modem.

I will need a copy of the pertinent log entries, and a short description of
what was going on at the time it happened.  Things like "A user was just
running it" will not cut it. I'll need to know how they were running it: By
single file, conference, or full listing...  And what happened -- did it drop
carrier?

DEBUG.XXX will most likely be used to generate other log entries in the
future.

                               :FINAL THOUGHTS:
I hope you like it.  I do, a lot.  If you have any suggestions, please E-Mail
me at [e-mail]. I can also be reached at [e-mail].

I'll be updating this program.  Most likely quite a lot.  So get in now while
the registration is cheap!  I'll be adding support for the mouse, GUI, code
on how to run internally from WWIV, etc...
