- There are 2 utilities to help you maintain your download section.
- The first is DLREAD.EXE which reads the download database and prints
- the download list to your screen and to a disk file. The file it
- creates is DLOAD.DMP . This provides you with a text file suitable
- for editting, or any other use. It is usually a good idea to have
- a current list of your downloads available for people to download
- and view offline.
-
- The second utility is DLOADADD.EXE which reads a text file and creates
- database entries. This is pretty much the opposite of the function
- performed by DLREAD. DLOAD.DMP is written in a format acceptable to
- DLOADADD, so you can simply edit DLOAD.DMP and make any changes or
- additions that you like, then rebuild the database file with DLOADADD.
- When you run DLOADADD you are asked to supply the name of the text file
- that contains the text entries.
-
- If an entry already exists matching the file name, category, and library
- number of the record to be added, the existing record is overwritten,
- else the new record is added to the file.
-
- The format for text entries to be processed by DLOADADD is listed below.
-
- Each entry consists of at least 2 lines. The first line has 8 or 9 fields
- which may be separated by commas or tabs. The fields are :
-
- 1. File Library number (0-9)
- 2. File Category within library (0-9)
- 3. The file name, with extension
- 4. The file size
- 5. The date the file was created, in MM/DD/YY format
- 6. How many times the file has been downloaded
- 7. The date the file was last downloaded
- 8. The name of the user who uploaded the file.
-
- * Field 8 may be used to specify the axact path to the file. This is
- * particularly useful in the case of CD-ROM usage, where files may be spread
- * across dozens of subdirectories.
- * If the first character of this field is '@', the rest of the field is
- * taken as the path to the file, i.e. @F:\120A\
-
- 9. Password
-
- *The 9th field is optional. If the file has no password, this field may
- *be omitted.
-
- The next 1-15 lines contain the file description.
- The file description is terminated by a line of at least 10 equal
- signs ( ========== ) starting in column 1.
-
- Below are 3 file listings acceptable to DLOADADD.EXE
- Note that there are no blank lines between entries, and each entry
- ends with a line of at least 10 equal signs.
- The first line of each entry uses commas to separate the 8 fields.
-
- The first listing goes into Library 0 Category 0
- The second listing goes into Library 1 Category 0,
- and has a password : mypasw
- The third listing goes into Library 2 Category 3, and the file exists
- on drive F: in directory ROMFILES
