Version 1.1

┌─────────────┐
──────────────────────────────┤ Description ├──────────────────────────────
└─────────────┘
RWwarn is a utility which was written to make your callers happy. New
upload file descriptions are clearly stamped with a WARNING that your
system has not fully tested the newly uploaded file. Because it is ran
from your PCBTEST.BAT you have full control over any minor testing that you
want done before the file is made available.
*-Why Bother?
I like to have newly uploaded files immediately available to the callers.
The problem was that many of my uploaders are the authors and they were
calling long distance. They began complaining that the real time checking
was costing them money.
There are excellent real time upload checkers out there but they all take
time. I also wanted something that didn't require the use of the $logoff.bat
┌────────────┐
───────────────────────────────┤ Quick Start├──────────────────────────────
└────────────┘
1. Place RWwarn.exe in any sub directory which is available to all nodes.
2. Modify your PCBtest.bat to call RWwarn. (Sample included)
3. Make a call to RWcln after you have fully checked the new files. RWcln
is used to remove the WARNING stamp from your DIRxx after the new
files have been fully checked. You didn't really think I'd make
you do that manually did you? RWcln requires the full path and
name of the DIRxx to process as a command line variable. If you
have more than one upload directory just make another call to
RWcln.
Example event.sys:
exzip /TODAY
rwcln h:\pcb\dir\dir70
rwcln h:\pcb\shareabl\upld
┌─────────────┐
──────────────────────────────┤ Other Stuff ├──────────────────────────────
└─────────────┘
1. If RWcln has made a change to your DIRxx it will overwrite your existing
DIRxx only after making a DIRxx.BAK
2. RWcln honors all network file sharing and can be run while other nodes
are active.
3. I have also included a file named rwwarn.txt which I show my users when
the board is shelled out to PCBtest.bat I've included it in case some of
you wanted an idea. (Record #575 in PCBTEXT)
4. Problems, questions or suggestions? I can be reached at RunWay BBS
SaltAir or the Sysop conference on most of the echo mail networks.
┌─────────────┐
──────────────────────────────┤ Registration├──────────────────────────────
└─────────────┘
RWWARN is offered free to all registered PCBoard sysops. If you find that
you do use it and your callers like it let me know so I won't spend the
rest of my life feeling that the time spent writing these docs was a
complete waste.
