- FILE command N - New files list
-
- This command will list files that have been added to RBBS-PC since a given
- date, or since the last time you checked the file list.
-
- You will be prompted for a date after you give the "N" command. Enter the
- desired date in numerical format with no characters separating the month,
- day, and year. For example, "032090" would list files included on the
- system since March 20, 1990. Press [ENTER] at the date prompt to use the
- date you last checked for files.
-
- Next, you will be asked for a directory to scan. Type in their name(s) or
- number(s) separated by spaces. You can scan all of the directories on
- the system by typing "A" at the prompt. Pressing [ENTER] will return you
- to the Files Menu.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. You can obtain a list of directory names and numbers by using the "L"
- command.
-
- 2. Using "ALL" may result in a time consuming search if the RBBS-PC system
- contains many files. You can save time by searching specific
- directories.
-
- 3. You can stack the N)ew command with a date and category. That is, you
- can enter "N MMDDYY" (e.g., "N 032090"), or "N S" to specify files new
- since you last checked, directly from the File Menu. You will then be
- asked for the directory you would like to scan. You can also
- pre-specify the directories to see. E.g., "N 032090 COMM UTIL" lists
- are files on or after 03-20-90 in directories COMM and UTIL.
