A simple press of 041 will get FEBBS working real hard <Grin> FEBBS will then compare the files in Files.Bbs with the files found in the directory of the Area. Any missing files will be added to the bottom of the Files.Bbs inside the editor. ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 5 External Viewers 016 - External/Internal Binary Viewer. !LINE 006 - External GIF Viewer. !LINE 015 - External/Internal Text Viewer. !LINE 007 - External Archive Viewer. !LINE 005 - DOSShell If No External Text- or Binary-Viewer is installed in the setup then Febbs internal will be used. !LINE When you press 016 the current Files.Bbs will be saved to disk to free up some memory and the Binary viewer specified by you in the setup will be loaded with the commandline the name and full path to the file you where standing on inside the editor.

And thereby allowing you to execute programs while still inside Febbs. ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 6 Add GIF Info to Description 043 - Add GIF Info to Description If you are editing an area that has GIF files in it and you are standing at a line with a GIF file at it like this ... NICENICE.GIF [0] ... and you press 043 you will get this... NICENICE.GIF [0] (640*480*256) That is, the Resoloution and how many colours will be added to the description of that particular file. Nice if you have GIFs in your Files.Bbs that where there before FEBBS Adopt function came along to add the resoloution for you. !LINE Febbs Supports both the GIF87a Standard and the new GIF89a. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 7 Copy Line 047 - Copy Line Pressing 047 will Copy the line you are standing on to a buffer. And pressing 047 again will transfer the buffer to line you area standing on. A status indicator in the lower right of the screen will indicate if something is in the buffer. You can't use this one to copy text between areas. ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 34 Move Line 049 - Move Line Pressing 049 will Move the line you are standing on to a buffer. And pressing 049 again will transfer the buffer to line you area standing on. A status indicator in the lower right of the screen will indicate if something is in the buffer. You can't use this one to move text between areas. Please See the 13025 option also for moving files inside the current Files.Bbs. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 8 Look Inside Archive/GIF Info ; 014 - Look Inside Archive/GIF Info This option lets you look inside Archives. That's your packed files. You will see a window with the contents of the archive you where standing on with the cursor. If the file is a GIF file instead of an archive you'll see a info-window containing relevant info about that paticular GIF picture. After Febbs has scanned the entire file you will be able to scroll around inside the window just like when choosing area. And if you wish to look at a file inside the archive just press enter and that particular file is unpacked and loaded into the internal text viewer. If the files extension is .EXE, .COM or .OVR the the internal Binary viewer will be used. But first you must set up the Unpackers in the setup. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 9 Switch Area. ; 042 - Switch Area. This one is handy. It lets you switch area from inside the editor. You will no longer have to go to the main menu to swap area. This function works just like the choose area item. Just cruise between your areas and select a new one with enter. ( or use the HotKeys ! That is if you wish to go to area 19 simply press 1, look in the lower left corner press 9 and press Enter. As fast as it can be ) You will upon selection be transfered directly to the new area. The Files.Bbs you leave will automaticaly be saved. All editing of the file will be saved and if you wish to discard your changes you will have to choose 003 to abandon your changes. And take of from the main menu for new adventures in Files Land. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 10 Removing Files / Lines 029 - Remove Both line and File Pressing 029 will Delete the file and and description not only from the list but from the disk as well. FEBBS will ask you if you're sure when deleting files. No harm done if you choose the wrong file. Reason: Why would you want to delete a file ? Imagine... You have just recived the latest version of a program and now you have put it in its apropriate directory. But there resides the old version as well. Now you can choose the add missing files function to make your Files.Bbs up to date and then while your at it delete the old version from inside FEBBS. Now there's no risk that you will forget to delete the old files and therefore you save diskspace. See Also 36031 - Remove File but leave description in Files.Bbs ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 36 Remove File but leave description in Files.Bbs 031 - Remove File but leave description in Files.Bbs Pressing 031 will Delete the file but leave the description. FEBBS will ask you if you're sure when deleting files. No harm done if you choose the wrong file. This one is to be used when you are short of diskspace but wish to leave the description in the list and thereby make it <OFF-Line> when your users view your Files.Bbs. See Also 10029 - Remove Both line and File ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 11 Tagging Files / Lines 023 - Tag Line for later action. Tag line will simply tag the line you are standing on. It will change colour to the colour chosen by you in the setup to indicate that it is tagged. If the line is already tagged then the line will be non-tagged. Simply a Tag-Toggler. 024 - Global Unmark of tagged Lines. This option clears all tags in the current Files.Bbs ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 12 Hurl/Copy tagged Lines/Files. 027 - Hurl tagged Lines/Files to different Area . !LINE 026 - Copy tagged Lines/Files to different Area . This option will let you hurl (move) or Copy the already tagged lines to a different area. The select area window comes up again. Then when you have chosen a area to hurl to the files will be copied there and then the old files.bbs will be saved and the new one loaded. When the chosen area has been loaded just move to the position you would like to give the hurled files descriptions and press 027 (or 026) again. The descriptions will now be placed where you where standing when you pressed 027 (or 026). If the file areas you are hurling between is on the same drive no physical moving is done. Only at directory level are the files moved. This makes the Hurl process extremly fast. Febbs is all the time trying to determine that enough diskspace is left on the drive that you are hurling to. If a file that you are hurling (copying) already exists in the area you are hurling (copying) to FEBBS will ask you if you wish to overwrite the file. If you answer Yes the file will be overwritten but the description won't transfered to the new area. This is to prevent dupe descriptions in the area. FEBBS simply assumes that the description already in the area is the correct and simply Zonks the new one. This behavior only applies when hurling files. If Copying Febbs will move the description anyway. See Also 35056 - Hurl Anywhere/without changing Area ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !Topic 35 Hurl files Anywhere/without changing area. 056 - Hurl files Anywhere/without changing area !LINE 057 - Copy files Anywhere/without changing area This version of the hurl/copy will NOT let you place the descriptions in the area that you area hurling/copying to. That is when hurling/copying you will NOT be transfered to the new area. The descriptions of the files will be placed last in the area you are hurling/copying too. This behavior is nice if You for instance is cleaning up your UpLoad area and all files goes to different areas or if You wish to copy some files to a floppy disk. Also this version of the hurl/copy will let you hurl/copy files and descriptions to any directory you wish. Tag as usual the files you wish to hurl and then while browsing the areas of your areafile press <Ctrl-Enter>. A new box will appear that let you type in the full path to where you wish to hurl the files. If the directory doesn't exist Febbs will ask you if you wish to create it first. Allthough the same restrictions as the MD command in DOS must be observed, that is Febbs can't create a whole path Ex: C:\FILES\PASCAL\ cant be created but if C:\FILES\ existed already then the subdir PASCAL would be added. Febbs will also try to create a new Files.Bbs if one doesn't exist in the directory your hurling to. All the descriptions will be placed in this Files.Bbs. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 13 Move tagged Lines inside editor 025 - Move tagged Lines inside editor Moves the tagged lines inside the editor. When you press 025 all the tagged lines in the editor will be moved the line you are standing on. Nice if you wish to move a number of files. A bit too much job to do that with 34049 ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 14 Add DownLoad Counter 046 - Add DownLoad Counter as specified in setup If you press 046 a Download Counter will be addded first to the description. You may specify the style of the counter in the setup. If no counter specified the description will be justified at position 14. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 15 Sort Block. 037 - Sort Block. Directions Keys mark Block. Enter Sort This one lets you sort a block that you first mark with the direction keys. Febbs is not aware of multiline descriptions ( Yet ). ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 16 Remove missing files 030 - Remove missing files from Files.Bbs When you press 030 FEBBS will check that all the files in Files.Bbs realy exists. If not the description in Files.Bbs is removed. See also 17028 - Tag All missing Files ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 17 Tag All Missing Files 028 - Tag All Missing Files Maybe 16030 ( Remove missing files from Files.Bbs ) is too strong for you. You wish to have files "Off-Line" due to lack of disk space. But you do not wish to keep all that junk lying around as Off-Line. Easy ! Simply press 028 and all missing files will be tagged and then untag those you wish to keep and the others use 18045 ( Kill taged lines ) ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 18 Kill All tagged Lines / Files ; 045 - Kill All tagged Lines / Files Just as the headline says Alt-K Kills all tagged lines ( and the associated files ) in the Current Files.Bbs. If a file is missing it simply works as 034 ( Remove line ). ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 19 Indent comment <TAB> - Indent comment to position choosen in setup Sometimes, when descriptions of files that take more than one line, it is nice to be able to indent the following lines at a position that will look nice when your BBS displays them. Pressing tab will do that for you with the line you are standing on. If the line doesnt fit it well be wrapped to the next line. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 20 Search for Filename 038 - Search for Filename See Also 21Continue Search 038 will pop up an entry field where you enter a search string to look for. >>> Note no wildcards or anything like that. If You wish to find "NICEGIRL.GIF" just enter "GIRL". Then Press Enter to start search. Febbs will first search in the current area for the name. Starting at row below the cursor position and to the end. If Febbs find "GIRLS.GIF" and stops at that but you know that one is not the right one use 039 to continue Search. But if not Found then a Question will pop up on the screen asking if you wish to search Global. If you answer yes you will see Febbs strawl down all your Areas looking for the file. Only Files listed in Files.Bbs is taken into the search. After completed search or after you have pressed a key to stop search You will se the found ( if any ) Files in a Scrollable window just like the Choose area window. And if you position yourself upon a File and press enter you will automaticly be transfered to that file. If in another area a new Files.Bbs will be loaded. And the cursor will be placed on the File you wanted to go to. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 21 Continue Search 039 - Continue Search See Also 20Search of FileName As said a 039 continues the search after the first "hit" with 038. Ex. A nice way to use search is like this. You have just recieved the latest DSZ protocol by Chuck Forsberg and wants to hurl it from the UL area to its appropriate area. But you do not remember where the old versions area. Simply press 038 enter the Search argument DSZ press enter and Febbs will start looking for any DSZ files for you.

You will find yourself inside the Files.Bbs of area 15 at the top. Now to get to the old DSZ files simply press 039 to Continue search and viola! there you are. Press 027 to "put down" the new DSZ and use 029 to get rid of the old one. Simple and Fast. What more could you want. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 22 Touch File on Current line 048 - Touch File on Current line If you press 048 the file on the current line will be stamped with the current date.

This to prevent the program from being attacked by viruses. But with the release of the unpacker for LZEXE this is not a reliable method any longer. Therefore FEBBS scans itself upon execution and checks if any changes were made to the EXE code. If there were FEBBS will halt with an error message. Due to the CRC check of the EXE file, and the fact that Febbs is overlayed to save memory, you can *NOT* pack this program with LZEXE or PkLite. And you can't alter the code in any way. (Wich the license forbids you to any way). ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 31 Memory Status. 052 - Memory Status. When you're beginning to suspect that you're running short of memory, disk as well as internal memory, a press on 052 will either confirm youre worst suspecions or calm you :-) Please Keep in mind that every line in a Files.Bbs occupies aproximately 162 Bytes of Memory inside Febbs Editor. So a 300 Lines Files.Bbs occupies aprox 48,600 Bytes in memory. Try be not to stingy when you assign memory to Febbs. Give the program Elbow room to work. Remember that hurling files also increases the memory needs ... ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 32 SWAPPING When shelling Febbs has the ability to swap itself out of memory to make room for other programs to run. When swapping, Febbs can swap to Disk, EMS and XMS. FEBBS will check for the presence of EMS and use that for the swap file. If there is no EMS or not enough free EMS, FEBBS will try to allocate XMS memory, and if there is no XMS or not enough Febbs will try to swap to disk. You have the abilty to toggle swapping on or of in the setup. If you're using a system with slow disks and no extra memory then it can be good to turn of swapping to speed things up. Please keep in mind that PAK for instance needs aproximately 185 Kb of memory to operate and ARJ even more, so therefore check how much memory you have when shelling from Febbs before you decide to turn swapping off. FEBBS leaves only aprox. 9k resident when swapping. This will give you maximum ram to do whatever you wish from within FEBBS. Please note that you mustn't load any TSRs or other programs that doesn't give back all memory when you are finished with them. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 37 {+} The {+} mark tells you that this function is only availiable in the registered version. I have chosen to make some of the functions only availiable to registered users. This is so that those people that supports me and my development of Febbs will get something extra. It is only those extra functions that has this mark, all normal functions are availiable to all users so that they may evaluate the software fully before deciding on registering and continued usage of Febbs. ; ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 38 Add Character literal. 033 - Add Character literal. Press 033 and then Any key (or use Alt-Keypad) to add any character to the Files.Bbs. Even if it is occupied by a function usaly. Good to have when you adding Avatar codes or some other Control codes that your BBS supports.

This one Copies the description from line your standing on to file below. Nice when youre adding the same description to multiple files. ;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*) ; !TOPIC 40 Touch all tagged Files. 035 Touch all tagged files.
