- Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This program is a nice utility for PowerList. It allows you to delete
- faulty entries and sort the list in a number of different ways. The best
- way to do this is probably to add this to your BBS' nightly event/cleanup.
- You should find that this is a pretty simple utility to use, also.
-
-
- Usage
- ~~~~~
- The usage of this program is pretty simple. Here are a little of the
- commands:
-
- PLSTUTIL <alone>
- Displays Command Line Usage
-
- PLSTUTIL /S[1,2,3][+,-] /D[1,2,3] /F
-
- -----Sorting-------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The /S command notifies PLSTUTIL that you want to sort the list. The
- optional [1,2,3][+,-] commands tell the program how you want to sort it
-
- 1 = Sorts entries by BBS Name (Default)
- 2 = Sorts entries by Location
- 3 = Sorts entries by Phone Number
- + = Sorts in Ascending Order
- - = Sorts in Descending Order
-
- If you enter /S alone it will assume BBS Name and Ascending as the sort
- method.
-
- -----Deleting------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The /D command tells PLSTUTIL you want to delete entries with a certain
- blank field. The optional [1,2,3] commands tell the program which field
- you want to look at.
-
- 1 = Deletes entries with a blank BBS Name
- 2 = Deletes entries with a blank Sysop Name
- 3 = Deletes entries with a blank Phone Number
-
- This command also takes a look at the ACTUAL number of entries in the
- BBSBASE.DAT files, so if somehow your BBSLIST.CFG file gets corrupt and
- all the entries are not showing up in the program, you can run this program
- and it should fix the problem.
-
- -----Fixing--------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The /F command is the "doctor" of PowerList. If you ever encounter any
- strange Runtime Errors (especially RTE 100), this will PROBABLY fix it.
- If everything is running smoothly, there is really no need to call this.
-
-
- Examples
- ~~~~~~~~
