Background
──────────
Someone asked in the TG echo a few days back for a FREQ list creator
that works;
a) With Binkley
b) With Telegard 3.10 (3.09g?)
So, I put one together. . .
What it does
────────────
TFP simply reads the Telegard file bases and creates a list of file
areas that is readable by Front Door, Binkley and InterMail.
Requirements
────────────
TFP requires the following;
100% IBM Compatible Computer
8086/88 or above CPU
MS-DOS v4.00 or Compatible
Telegard v3.10 (3.09)
Installation & Operation
────────────────────────
Just unzip this package in to your main bbs directory and you're
done with the installation. Now, on to the operation.
TFP has only one optional "configuration" file. It is names
TFP.LST by default. This file can be changed via the command line.
The command line options are as follows;
TFP [list file] {exclude file} /B
- The list file is required. It is the file that TFP will
create. This file will be overwritten if it already exists
on the drive. You must specify a full filename, with an
optional path for the file.
- The exclude file is a simple ASCII (text) file which contains
a list of directories to exclude or ignore when creating the
list. The format of the file is;
BASEFILENAME
BASEFILENAME
The base file name is the name of the data file the file area
uses.
- The /B option tells TFP to add the total number of downloads to
the list, below the description.
- Optional Files
There are also one more optional file. The TFP.HDR. If provided
it will be added to the top of the list. This is useful for
a magic names list to be easily added to the list.
