UPNAME.EXE (C) Copyright 1991 Maynard Marquis.
"Uploader's Name"
Here is a simple utility that will read the UL.LOG (upload
log) file Maximus creates and then add the uploader's name and, as an
option, the upload date and time to the FILES.BBS for everyone to see.
In order to help prevent processing an entry more than once,
the program will insert an '*' in the first column of each entry of
the UL.LOG it has processed. (Be aware that this only happens after
a normal program termination.) A copy of the old UL.LOG is made and
called 'UL-LOG.OLD'. If the corresponding FILES.BBS cannot be
found, then the entry is NOT processed, but IS marked with an '*'.
If you wish to reprocess an entry, edit out the '*' in column one
of the UL.LOG and rerun UPNAME.
Parameter(s)
/D tells upname to add the date and time of the upload after the
name of the uploading user's name in the appropriate FILES.BBS.
