- GFILES - a doors program for FALKEN Multi-user BBS
-
- The GFILES program is a general purpose text file reader for the
- FALKEN BBS system. This program executes as a 'door' under
- control of the main BBS program. It is included as an example
- of how a door works under multidos.
-
- When the program is executed, it waits for the user to enter
- a file name, or the word 'exit'. When the word 'exit' is entered,
- the program terminates. Any other entry is assumed to be a
- file name.
-
- The file GPATH.TXT must contain the full path to the subdirectory
- which contains the text files. A file named LIST must exist in
- that subdirectory. This file should be a list of the files that
- are available for viewing.
-
- You can use this program to simply view text files, or you can
- arrange the files logically into a database, where one text file
- can simply list the contents of other text files in increasing
- detail until the actual data is read.
