- Are you frustrated when you get into an RBBS file system just to find a
- whole list of "xxxxxxxx.ARC" files waiting for you...and you have no idea
- what each actually contains unless you download the file first ?? If you
- are, and if you are in a position to do something about it for your users,
- RBBSARCV.PAT will create for your RBBS an on-line archive verbose lister
- enabling your users to "view" the contents of those ARC files before
- downloading.
-
- Here's how....
-
- Make the necessary amendments between lines 20015 and 20070, and the
- addition of lines 20071 to 20086 in RBBS-PC.BAS (source) according to the
- fixes posted in RBBSARCV.PAT.
-
- Make sure you have the latest Archive Verbose Lister (I am using Vernon
- Buerg's ARCV112.COM) in the same directory as RBBS-PC.EXE.
-
- A temporary file called TEMP will be dynamically created when the "A"
- function is used in the Files Menu. TEMP will reside in the same directory
- as RBBS-PC.EXE and is wiped out by new contents when "A" is used again. Size
- of TEMP is negligible.
-
- The CALLERS file will be updated whenever the "A" function is used and
- whenever the user violates his security level. Fatal violations will give
- the user on-line the usual boot !!
-
- Hope you like the routine and that you'll find it useful.
-
- Cheers!
