- ACFile's Build User Packet Help
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Build Packet is a command which allows a user to create their own archive to
- download. They will be able to extract a file from any archive and put it
- into their own self-made packet. They can then download it instead of having
- to download multiple packages just to get a few files you need. This is
- especially useful if you just want to get the documentation for a program
- or if you are missing a file you need and don't want to download the full
- package.
-
- The commands are as follows:
-
- [A]dd Packet
-
- This command allows you to extract a file from an archive and add it into
- your archive. This is also available from the View Archive command.
-
- First, ACFiles will prompt you for the archive to open. This is the archive
- that you need a file extracted. It will display the first tagged file from
- the area you are currently in. Hit Space and it will toggle to other
- tagged lists.
-
- ACFiles will then show a listing of the files inside the archive. You'll
- see a prompt asking if you want to Type a Textfile or Add to UserPacket.
- At this point you may view a textfile in the opened archive to see if you
- want to add it in or not or you may select A to add a filename to your
- own personal packet
-
- Upon hitting A, ACFiles will prompt you for your personalized packet name
- if you have not yet created one. Simply enter a filename.ext. ACFiles will
- assume that if the extension is .ZIP it'll use ZIP to create the packet, and
- so forth.
-
- Next it'll prompt you for a filename to add. Enter in a filename that was
- in the listing of the files in the opened archive. Wildcards are accepted.
-
- You've now created your very own personal package. You may add as much as
- needed up to a limit specified by the SysOp
-
- [C]lear Packet
-
- This command erases your packet and clears the name as if you had never
- done the command. You may want to use this after you download your packet
- so that you will be reset to ground 0.
-
- [D]ownload Packet
-
- This lets you download the packet. You may also download from any of the
- other download commands.
-
- [R]emove from Packet
-
- This allows you to remove a file from your packet. It'll show a listing
- of your archive and prompt you for a filename to delete.
-
- [V]iew Packet
-
- This is just like the normal View Archive command. It lets you view your
- own archive.
