-
- INTRO -
-
- VDIZ.EXE was wriiten to automatically import upload file_id.diz & desc.sdi
- description files in archives to the extended description area of VBBS
- 5.6x file database's. Currently the only supported archive is PKZIP, but
- the next release will have support for other archive formats.
- VDIZ is not meant to be run as a nightly event or in any post upload batch
- files. Seeing as this would update everyfile every time its not a very likley
- place for it to be run. Again If ther is enough interest in the program
- this will be an added function later.
-
- REQUIREMENTS -
-
- * VBBS 5.6x By Roland De Graaf
- * VDIZ.EXE
- * VDIZ.cfg
- * pkunzip 1.10+ (In your PATH)
-
- VDIZ.CFG -
-
- VDIZ.CFG requires only two lines. An example will follow.
-
- d:\vbbs\db\
- d:\vbbs\temp\
-
- The first line is the path to your .dat,.fdx,.bin files
- the second line is the path to your temp directory
-
- USE -
-
- Basically you type vdiz.exe and then enter the database area filename you wish
- to process. WARNING This makes no distinction between message or file areas so
- BE SURE YOU ENTER THE FILENAME OF THE DATABASE. Then it asks for the path
- to find the files for that database. Use a TRAILING BACKSLASH ie: C:\game\
-
- VDIZ handles it from there and returns you to dos when completed.
-
