-
- LISTREC is a companion program to UPLOADER. It will list all records in a
- specified HDR file, or all HDR files in the directory.
-
- The listing can be output to the screen or printer.
-
- With LISTREC you can quickly view the database information for a directory.
- It lists all information contained in the HDR file "except" the CRC value.
-
- Output is formatted, and displays as such:
-
- [ FDB22.HDR ] (HDR file name)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- RREAD202.ZIP Size: 132K Password: (PW or NONE...)
- Upoaded By: Ol whats his name Uploaded On: 3/31/1993
- Times D/L : 0013 Last Downloaded On: 4/22/1993
- Keywords : READ LIST TEXT (if none, displays 'No Keywords...')

-
- and so on....... [ SEE MAKEBAT.DOC - WHATSNEW.DOC FOR MORE!! ]
-
- For printer output, page breaks are at 60 lines.
- For each new HDR file, the filename is displayed/printed.
-
- There is a short delay between line displays in the screen listing, so
- they don't just go whizzing by.... LISTREC will also beep each time a new
- HDR file is opened. This alerts you to the beginning of a new HDR file so
- you can pause to view if you wish.
- You can press any key to pause output, pressing any key EXCEPT Escape will
- resume display. Pressing Esc will exit LISTREC.
-
- Printer listing can be delayed also, though of course your printer will
- not stop "right away" as data is still in the printer buffer to be
- printed, heck, my printer has a 32K buffer chip in it, and it goes on
- forever it seems.....

- LISTREC ? Displays a Help screen.
- LISTREC Calls a picklist, you can tag files to list to SCREEN.
- LISTREC P Same as above, output to PRINTER.
- Tagging files is covered more, later on in the manual.
- LISTREC * Lists all HDR/records to the SCREEN.
- LISTREC * p Displays all HDR/records to the PRINTER.
- LISTREC FDB## Displays all records in the specified HDR file to
- SCREEN.
- LISTREC FDB## p Same as above, but sends output to PRINTER.
- LISTREC WHO Prompts for uploader name, list will be limited to
- records containing this name. Case is not important.
- LISTREC FILE Prompts for a file name, list is limited to records
- containing this file name.
-
- WHO and FILE support the P switch, to send list to the printer.
- More on these two options later.
-
- Switches (* p) may be placed anywhere on the command line.
- The p can be upper(P) or lower(p) case.
- HDR file names when specified can be either case.

- └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- As mentioned, LISTREC by itself, or LISTREC P will cause a scrollable file
- list to be displayed.
-
- You can use your UpArrow and DownArrow keys to move the Highlight bar.
- @PgUp,@PgDn, Home and End also move you around.
-
- Pressing Escape, will Exit the picklist and LISTREC.
-
- If you want to view just a particular file, highlight that file name and
- press ENTER.
-
- If you want to view multiple files, pressing the @Spacebar will TAG or
- UN-TAG a file. Tagged files are processed in "the order they are tagged"
- it matters not what order they are alphabetically, or in the directory. The
- way they are tagged is the way they will be fed to LISTREC.

- │▒▒▒ The WHO Option ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒│
- └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- There might be times when you would like to know just how many and what
- files, a certain user has sent your way. WHO will let you do just that.
- When the WHO switch is used, you will be prompted for a name to search for.
-
- You may enter the name in UPPER, lower or mIxEd case. Comparisons are done
- in case insensitive format regardless. The records displayed will only be
- those that contain the name supplied by you, listed as Uploader in the HDR
- record.
-
- The picklist for tagging is not available here. LISTREC will, by default,
- search ALL records in ALL HDR files for matches.
-
- ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │▒▒▒ The FILE Option ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒│
- └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- This works just like the WHO option, you will be prompted for a file name.
- Again, case is not important. LISTREC will search all records in all HDR
- files for the filename. Only records which contain the specified filename
- will be displayed. Normally this will only be one record, if RA is doing
- it's job of checking for dupes.
-
- At this time, the complete file name is checked, so if you enter
- @BNU170.ZIP, only the ZIP file would be displayed, BNU170.ARJ, if it also
- exists, would not be displayed.
-
- I intend to add the ability to search only on the name, excluding the
- extension, at a later date.

-
- I hope you find LISTREC useful to you. If you do, I'd like to here about
- it. I can be reached through the RA_UTILS echo (FIDO), @Netmail at
- 1:161/710 or via my BBS at 510-651-0253,,3322
-
- NOTE on Phone: Currently the mailer and BBS are sharing a voice line, thus
- you need to add a four second pause and the code 3322 to the phone number,
- when dialed, in order to shuttle the call to the system.
- For file requests, I can only tell you how to over-ride the PVT/UNPUBLISHED
- @nodelist entry when mailing with Front Door.
- In Front Doors FDNODE.CTL, add a line like this.
-
- PHONE 1:161/710 510-651-0253,,3322
-
- Now, all the above assumes that your modem, as most do, uses a comma to
- represent a pause, and the pause is set for two seconds.
-
- If all the above is to much of a pain, I understand! Perhaps the echo mail
- would be easiest. I also can be reached via Snail Mail as:
- Rand Nowell
- 40728 Sundale Dr. Fremont, Ca. 94538
- Voice Phone: 510-651-0253 (much easier <grin> )
-
- Registration is not required for LISTREC, or UPLOADER. But if you wish to
- donate any amount, to help defray the costs of distribution and equipment,
- which will push me towards further development, then by all means,
- "Don't be bashful!" send me a buck or three.....
-
- Thanks for trying LISTREC and/or UPLOADER!
