- OFFLINE is a fast Wildcat 3.0x+ Files Listing program for files
- stored off-line. They are flagged in your Files Database, item
- # 23 and a user's attempt to download one of them will result in
- Wildcat asking him if he wishes to leave a request. If you put
- a file BACK ON-LINE for a user, DON'T FORGET to change the flag
- in your Files Database!
-
- You can exclude one or more file AREAS from the list or INCLUDE ONLY
- one or more areas, and have a detailed listing showing filename, date,
- size, # of downloads, and description, or a 'short' version showing
- only filename, K size and description, one file per line, just as in
- WC3FLIST, my regular files listing program. OFFLINE is written in
- Turbo C, is very fast and does not require BRUN runtime modules.
-
- OFFLINE.EXE can live anywhere in your PATH...but it must be EXECUTED from
- your Wildcat Home Node Directory. (file sharing is supported and nodes
- do not need to be 'down')
-
- In the same Home Node Directory you must have a text file, OFFLINE.CFG.
- A sample copy is included in this archive and is reproduced here:
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BBS Name:Agora BBS of Tampa
- Short (single line) listing?:n
- Include ONLY areas:
- EXCLUDE areas:2,19,83
- Output file pathname:D:\WC\OFFLINE.LST
-
- OFFLINE will stop reading lines in this file when it reaches a blank
- line as above. You can store any comments or notes of your own down
- here. You can even take out the information BEFORE the ':', but do
- NOT remove the ':' itself!
-
- If you INCLUDE only certain areas, then you can NOT also EX-
- CLUDE some, and vice-versa. Put your own information after the ':'s
- in the lines above. Don't leave any SPACES between the colon and
- your data!
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- There are no 'password' options, since off-line files are, obviously,
- even more protected than passworded files from unauthorized downloads.
-
- OFFLINE uses memory up to the available limit. It should handle
- around 8000 files, depending on your memory and setup. If you find it
- running out of memory (it will tell you!)....you will have to
- run it more than once, with different groups of 'included areas'. You
- can than of course copy the output files together with DOS COPY...
-
- Please consider registering this program if you find it useful.
- A lot of time and effort has gone into creating the WILDCAT utilities
- I've written. I find them useful, and hope you do too!
- $15 or so would be reasonable. If you register this program, you will get
- full support at the number above and enhancements or customiz-
- ation within reason. Thanks!
