A public beta release of WarezTag! Perhaps you're wondering "Why this release? I thought it wasn't supposed to be released?". Well, you are not entirely correct; most of the programs we create will be released, but only when they are 99% bug-free. The true answer for this release is very simple: THERE ARE LAME RIPPERS AT WORK! Yep, some jerks have stolen the whole concept of WarezTag! and named it 'BytezTag'. This was a complete rip-off. After we asked to change their concept and design, the answer was: "We couldn't think of anything else!". The poor bastards, after Easttag & RA_2_TAG nobody has ever created an original lister (exceptions made). Now we, the EOH crew, come up with another cool idea (April/May 1995!) and the first thing they do is a 100% rip!! Even the helpfiles were 101% ripped. To prevent them getting all the credits for the program's look and user interface, we have decided to make a public beta out of WarezTag! The only thing I have to say to those rippers is: "Be creative, let your mind flow on other things than ripping ideas of already existing (or in progress) programs. Or, at least have the guts to ask & credit the originators." The correct code for the zipfile is: TheOriginal! Mind the case sensitivity! ├──────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ LOOK AND FEEL DISCLAIMER ├>─┤ A number of applications have a similar interface to that of one or more Synopsis/EOH Utilities or configuration Utilities or FILE_ID.DIZ designs. Requests for permission to use the same user interface style are received quite frequently. The stock reply has been and still is, "Yes, provided the following is included in the program and documentation's credit section: 'Original visual interface concept designed by XtreeMan & Synopsis. Used with permission.'". This ALSO goes for programs which can be seen at Edge of Honor and are not available for download. These are programs which are currently under development by us. People who haven't asked for permission, nor credited appropriately: * Bass with BytezTag * Phenomic with his Who's Online * SerialKiller/Pope-X with their RAF-Tag * Foxivision and Pope-Y with their multiliners ansi * Pope-Z with RAF-Last and his Who's Online * Dimension X with the FILE_ID.DIZ layout Hope these dudes will be the last. ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ Features ├>─┤ * Incredibly Fast and Small FileBase (FastBase) * 100% Ligthbar, with Hotkey support. * 100% Original Layout! * Newfiles, Keyword, Filename Search. * Conference, Area Changer. * Upload, Download Files. * Nuke/Comment files!

Now up to the real thing; The installation of WarezTag! A step by step installation can be found in the 'WT!INST.DOC' file. All the other important stuff will be mentioned and explained to you in this doc. If you still don't get it, send a mail to: helpme@eoh.idn.nl with correct description of the problem, we will reply only if it is not explained in the doc's.. ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ TAG!.EXE ├>─┤ This is the main WarezTag! executable. Commandline parameters are as follows: Usage: Tag! <options> [input] -C<Comport> : This specifies the comport to use. -N<Node> : This specifies the current node number to use. -A<Area> : This parameter will load WT! in list-mode in the specified area number. If no area is specified the current area from the user will be used. -SN : This parameter starts WT! in Newfiles-scan mode. -SK : This parameter starts WT! in keyword-search mode. -SW : This parameter starts WT! in filename-search mode. (wildcards valid) -E : This will load WT! directly into the Tagfile-Edit mode. -D : This goes directly to the Download function of WarezTag!, and will read the list of currently tagged files. -U : This starts WT! in Upload-Mode. -V<file> : This is used to view the specified file, IE: -VC:\RA\RA.DOC -JA : This will start WT! in the fullscreen area selection mode, from which you can select a file area to list within the selected file group. -JC : This will start WT! in the fullscreen group selection mode, followed by an area selection within the selected group. -? : This brings up the HelpScreen .. -H : Read Above! [input] : You can specify defaults to use.. just place them directly after the command, for example a newfiles-search defaulting to 7 days: TAG! -C*P -N*N -SN 7 ... Fairly simple. Here are the online keys you can use: ** These Keys Work Almost Everywhere in WarezTag! Key to smash What it will do when you pressed it hard enough ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Cursor Keys Move On These magic keys ofcours will change the (2/8/4/6) position of the bars on the screen. When the selector bar isn't on the screen arrow up/down will result in a backscroll or next page. A through Z Hotkeys The first character of the options. Home, End Jump to the beginning or end of the listing. (7/1) (Listing only) SpaceBar Selector Press once to retrieve the selector bar. Press again to move the bar. Enter/Return Confirmer Press to confirm the current position of the options, or to add the current file in your batch. CTRL - E BatchEditor Edit the files you have flagged and search some additional files. CTRL - A AddFiles Add Files to the Tagfile. CTRL - U Upload!! The Ultimate Key! Upload your stuff here.

If done during keyword search this will result in a keyword-change. CTRL - N NewFiles Change the amount of days for newfiles. CTRL - K Nuker! Nuke/Truncate Files. Take/Give Credits from Uploader. Write a comment to a file. ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ TAGCFG!.EXE ├>─┤ This is the main configuration program for WarezTag!. Most of the functions should be fairly clear: ÷÷ BBS/Paths ÷÷÷÷÷÷ BBSName : Your BBS name :) ShortName : A three-letter abbreviation for your BBS's name (For Quick- Info adding! - see "UL Processor") LogFilePath : This is the path where all log-files will be written to. TempDir #1 : The temporary download-holding directory (for CDROM copies, @list and dsz-logfiles!) .. Node-specific! TempDir #2 : Node 2 TempDir #3 : Node 3 TempDir #4 : Node 4 TempDir #5 : Node 5 TempDir #6 : Node 6 ÷÷ Upload ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ UploadArea : The default area where public uploads will be sent. PrivateArea : The PRIVATE upload area number. Abort Path : The directory where aborted uploads will be moved. Dupe Path : The directory where duplicate uploads will be moved.

Usefull if you dislike .GIF files or .JPG files, just use 50% or something :) Direct Creds : The KB and time credits of the uploads are substracted of the today 'download KB' and added to the today 'time limit'. This means it could happen you get a Negative todayKB and a negative TimeUsed. NO worries, this only goes for this day!. Very easy for users to 'upgrade' their level for a moment, for example when they just need those extra 205kb. Just upload 205kb and you have an extra 205kb download limit. Minimal Date : The minimum date on an uploaded file to be accepted. % To Old : Percentage of upload credits/time to give for files which fail the date check. 40 to 60% is usefull. ÷÷ UL Processor ÷÷÷ UploadString : This is the "Uploaded by:" string which will be appended to the end of file descriptions. Extract Diz : ASCII - Try ASCII description first (FILE_ID.ASC) ANSI - Try diz with ANSI color codes first. (FILE_ID.ANS) PCB/ANSI - Try PCB and ANSI descriptions first. ** Note: PCB takes priority over ANSI ** (FILE_ID.PCB), (FILE_ID.ANS) ** Note: Of course all Dizzes has protection against destructive PCB @-codes, such as @HANGUP@ ** ** Note: Failing detection of FILE_ID.PCB/FILE_ID.ANS all modes will default to FILE_ID.DIZ ** Default Desc : The description to use for files which don't contain any FILE_ID.??? descriptions. Usefull is: "No description found, credits nuked" DIZ Stripfile : This file contains the lines to strip from FILE_ID.??? descriptions; For the layout see the Example File REMLINE.LST ** Note: PCB and ANSI codes are automaticly stripped while checking for strips, so they are not necessary in the StripFile ** AddFile (ZIP) : This is a **ZIPFILE** which contains the files to ADD to the uploaded archive. BannerFile : This file will be used as the archive-stamp. StripFile (DAT): This file is similar in form to the 'CLEAR.DAT' found in Qzip!/DoZip!. It is used for removing unwanted files from the archive itself (BBS adds etc). Only known files at the END of the archive could be removed! Add QuickInfo : This function is used to add special 0-byte files to ZIP archives, each containing comments with file statistic information in them. Check it out. Diz Unpack ZIP : The decompression commandline to unpack files from ZIP archives. Diz Unpack ARJ : Read above! Diz Unpack RAR : Read above! Diz Unpack LZH : Read above! ÷÷ Download ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ RatioFree KB : The amount of KB that the user is able to download before being subjected to the KB ratio.

Copy CDRomFiles: If set to YES, WarezTag! will copy files that exist on CD-ROM to a temporary directory before downloading. ** Note: See TempDir ** ÷÷ Nuker ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ Nuked Path : The directory for Trunced/Whiped files to be moved to. That way you will never loose any files which authorised users might delete. Nuker Sec : The minimum security required to access the Nuking functions. Files Sec : The minimum security required to access the file- truncation feature! Creds Sec : The minimum security required to be able to revoke file/kb credits granted for uploaded files. Sysop Sec : Sysop's security level; the level that grants access to all functions of the nuker. NukeText 1 | The default texts appended to descriptions, if the files NukeText 2 | are "Nuked". NukeText 3 | NukeText 4 | ÷÷ Viewer ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ ViewTmpDir : The temporary directory for the archive viewer. Usefull is a Ramdrive, for speeding up things. MaxDownKB : The maximum KB amount that may be downloaded from an archive at one time. Usefull if your ramdrive isn't that big :-) Text Attr : The attribute (hex) of the file-viewing text. ÷÷ TagFile ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ TagFile Type : Choose from old DISP-tagfile types, FileDoor 4.xx, FileDoor 5.xx, or the standard WarezTag! tagfile!

Type : Choose from: DSZ/HSlink/Bimodem Up-Bat : Upload batchfile command Down-Bat : Download batchfile command Look at the batchfiles included! All the info about them can be found inside them! ÷÷ Miscellaneous ÷÷ Show Unpacking : If set to YES, external archive functions will be shown locally. ÷÷ Set Default ÷÷÷÷ This will set everything to, yes, default values! ÷÷ Leave it! ÷÷÷÷÷÷ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ FASTBASE! ├>─┤ WarezTag! uses a much faster and more efficient FileBase format than the RA-FDB and default FILES.BBS formats. It is quite simple to convert to FastBase, granted you run a RA 2.xx/2.5x system, using FILES.BBS or the RA-FDB: ** Note: By this point, make sure you have set the FASTBASE environment variable. (IE: SET FASTBASE=C:\RA\WAREZTAG\FB) ** Conversion/Update Utilities: ** IMPORTANT! ** CREATEFB.EXE - This program will create/update the necessary FastBase files from pre-existing extended FILES.BBS format description lists. This program is also necessary if you change a FILES.BBS to keep the FastBase up-to-date, normally it will only recreate area's that are changed. In basic terms, if you update/modify a FILES.BBS you need to run CREATEFB on that specific area. For example your upload area must be updated everytime a user logs out. Just play a little with it, you'll getch the drift very easy... Commandline parameters are as follows: ÷÷ CREATEFB.EXE <Options> [Area-Area] [,Area] ÷÷ Options: -A : Force to remake the area -B : Batchfile mode. -? : This brings up the HelpScreen .. -H : Read Above! [Area-Area] This is to specify the areas to process. For example, if you wanted to convert areas 1 to 250, you would run CREATEFB 1-250. Example #2, if you want to convert all the areas again run CREATEFB -A. Example #3, if you want to update your upload area (for example area 12) run CREATEFB 12. [,Area] Individual areas may also be processed, by seperating the area numbers by commas. For example, for processing area 15, 435, and 789, you would run CREATEFB 15,435,789. Example #2, if you want a range of areas to be processed you would run CREATEFB 10-100,110,119,140-400,854. ** Note : When you run CREATEFB without any parameters, it will UPDATE only the changed areas (i.e. FILES.BBS date/size has changed). ** Hint : Place your entire \FASTBASE\ directory on a RAMDRIVE! This will improve the performance a lot! For about 25.000 to 30.000 files you'll need a 2MB ramdrive (clustersize 512 bytes), not much eh?! RA2FB.EXE - This will convert the RA FDB (2.xx/2.5x) to FastBase. Mostly this util is used only once to create the FastBase. Commandline parameters are as follows: ÷÷ RA2FB.EXE <Options> [Area-Area] [,Area] ÷÷ -B : No FastBase files, just FILES.BBS (if you have changed descriptions or whatever) -? : This brings up the HelpScreen .. -H : Read Above! [Area-Area] This is to specify the areas to process. For example, if you wanted to convert areas 1 to 250, you would run RA2FB 1-250. [,Area] Individual areas may also be processed, by seperating the area numbers by commas. For example, for processing area 15, 435 and 789, you would run RA2FB 15,435,789. ** Note : For CD-ROM files, the FILES.BBS lists will be placed in the LISTS directory of the FastBase, as FB<area>.LST. This applies for both CREATEFB and RA2FB. ** FB2RA.EXE - This will convert the Fastbase to RA FDB (2.xx/2.5x). Commandline parameters are as follows: ÷÷ FB2RA.EXE <Options> [Area-Area] [,Area] ÷÷ -? : This brings up the HelpScreen .. -H : Read Above! [Area-Area] This is to specify the areas to process. For example, if you wanted to convert areas 1 to 250, you would run FB2RA 1-250. [,Area] Individual areas may also be processed, by seperating the area numbers by commas. For example, for processing area 15, 435 and 789, you would run FB2RA 15,435,789. ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ UTILITIES ├>─┤ By now, you might be wondering about support for the FastBase format beyond the conversion utilities and WarezTag! itself. Well, included in the release are: ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ ALL!.EXE ├>─┤ ALL.EXE - An extremely fast All/NewFiles list generator, which outputs to ALLFILES.LST, and NEWFILES.LST. Usage: ÷÷ ALL.EXE <Options> [Area-Area] [,Area] ÷÷ -S<sec> : Only included areas with equal to or less than the specified security level. (LIST-SECURITY) -N<days> Restrict newfiles-list to specified number of days. -? : This brings up the HelpScreen .. -H : Read Above! [Area-Area] This is to specify the areas to process. For example, if you wanted to convert areas 1 to 250, you would run ALL 1-250. [,Area] Individual areas may also be processed, by seperating the area numbers by commas. For example, for processing area 435,15 and 789, you would run ALL 15,435,789. ** Header/Footer filenames for customized file-lists, and their macros: A_ABEGIN Allfiles area Header A_AEND Allfiles area Footer A_BEGIN Allfiles header A_END Allfiles bottom N_ABEGIN Newfiles area Header N_AEND Newfiles area Footer N_BEGIN Newfiles header N_END Newfiles bottom The following macros can be used: $A# Area number $AF Number of files in area $AB Total of bytes located in that area $AD The latest filedate in that area $AN The area name/description $AU The latest upload date of a file in the area $EA Total amount of KB listed $EB Total size in KB of all areas listed $EF Total amount of files listed $EM Total amount of missing files listed $NAB Total amount of new KB in that area $NAF Total amount of newfiles in that area $NB Total amount of new KB listed $NF Total amount of newfiles listed $D Current date $T Current time $V Current version number ** Extra options are: $_____<code> this will display the code padded with spaces (use as many _'s as you like). If the field is longer than the defined number of spaces, it will be truncated. Text fields are always justified to the left, and numerical fields are always justified to the right. $<code>% this will transform the amounts to include dots, like the number 6455323 will become 6.455.323 ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ MOVE!.EXE ├>─┤ MOVE!.EXE - A utility used to maintenance the FastBase. From within Move!, you can move files to other areas, delete files, view archives/text and so on. MOVE!.INI - Config-file, should be fairly self-explanatory .. Keywords: STARTAREA=???, default area to enter when starting up... ARCVIEW=???????, commandline for the external archive viewer.. First parameter is full path and filename to view. UPLOADERNAME=??, Default uploader name.. General Functions: --- F1 - Help! (Not Implemented Yet!) F2 - Select filearea to maintenance. F3 - View file. See note above about ARCVIEW. F4 - Inoperative F5 - Inoperative F6 - Move specified file(s). F7 - Inoperative F8 - Delete specified file(s). F9 - Inoperative F10 - Quit! Exit to OS etc. ** Note: When in filelist, pressing ENTER will highlight files for the various functions! ** Note: You are not FORCED to use MOVE!.exe, if you like you can use any FileManager (like Febbs/ProFam) and update the FastBase with CREATEFB.exe ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ LOCALDSZ.EXE ├>─┤ LOCALDSZ.EXE - This is a program that will Copy/Move files locally, but letting it look that they are downloaded, because DSZ-Logfile created. This util could also be used by other programs (Like FileDoor Lite) to let you download Locally. ÷÷ LOCALDSZ.EXE <Options> <File> ÷÷ -T<Path> : TargetDir (=UploadDir) -M : Move Files instead of Copying -? : This brings up the HelpScreen .. -H : Read Above! <File> can be a File or a List (@<List>) ** Example Upload Command: LOCALDSZ -T<UploadPath> ** Example Download Command: LOCALDSZ @<ListFile> ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ FILES.BBS FORMAT ├>─┤ Some folks had difficulties with the FILES.BBS format. Well, it is very simple. It is almost the same as with Easttag and other standard FILES.BBS listers. As following: Start_Files.BBS: FILENAME.EXT Description Row 1 +Description Row 2 +Description Row 3 +Description Row 4 +Description Row etc FILENAM2.EXT Description Row 1 +Description Row 2 +Description Row 3 +Description Row 4 The '+' MUST be at position TWO!. ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ MISCELLANEOUS ├>─┤ ** For the dudes who have a shortage of ENVIRONMENT Space, use the ENVPATCH.exe tool. This will patch your COMMAND.COM (MS/PCDOS) and will increase the default size (256bytes) to whatever you want.. ** CDROM areas must have the flag CDROM be set on YES in the FILES.RA. In case there is no FILES.BBS available at the CDrom, you can place the 'files.bbs' the \FASTBASE\LIST\ directory. The listing must have a filename of the following format: FB<areanumber>.LST. For example if you have area 500 which is a CDrom area, the file \FASTBASE\LIST\FB500.LST will exist and contain (in FILES.BBS format) the listing of the CDrom area as defined in the FILES.RA. ** NOTE: All the files on the CDROM will have the same date set as the FBxxx.LST file. So if you have a new CDrom (but with old files), just stamp the FBxxx.LST file, run CREATEFB and the whole CDrom area will have the current date (and will appear as new in the newfiles scan). ** While Adding file to the TagFile, you can give '//' as Filename to access the GlobalDownload mode (Free Time and KB!). If no password is specified in TAGCFG GlobalDownload is not accessible ** PCBCodes are fully support, including the layout info: @<Code>:<Pad><Outline>@ <Code> is the PCBCode <Pad> is the Size of the Field, if the data is shorter it will be padded by spaces. <Outline> this could be R to Outline the Field to the Right, or C to Center the Field. ** Examples @USER@ will change to 'John Doe' @USER:12@ will change to 'John Doe ' @USER:14C@ will change to ' John Doe ' @USER:14R@ will change to ' John Doe' ** Multichatter Support: From the buildin Who's Online or When an online message is received there could be an option to go to the multichatter direct! The multichatter (mostly HexaChat!) must be installed under the RAMGR-F1 Key in Raconfig (Options -> Files -> RAMGR FnKeys). *P, *N and *B codes are supported. ** LOGO.A??: The WarezTag! Logo-Files LOGO.A?? Could be changed and added if you wish. Just create .A1 .A2 .A3 etc. only a LOGO.ANS is also enough if you only want one Logo. For Random Logo's you need the LOGO.A?? Files. ** FILE_ID.DIZ Extractor: For the dudes who don't have a proper file_id.diz extractor, we recommend Dizzy v4.4. We will place him in the /wareztag/ directory on our FTP site in case you want him. (DIZZY44.ZIP) ** Remote Access Groups/Areas Definitions: Some dudes had difficulties with the security matters etc, of the areas. We check access in the following order: [1] View Security + Flags [2] Download Security + Flags If step one is not alright, it does not automaticly mean he cannot download from that area! And vice versa, so keep that in mind! If users type CTRL-J in WarezTag! they will get the GroupChanger, you can define groups in RACONFIG, and must specify at each area in which group (or groups) it belongs to. ├──────────────────────────────────────────<┤ Not Yet Implemented Features ├>─┤ - All the screens are fixed, except LOGO.A?? - File_ID.Diz stripper/cleaner is not working 100% - MOVE!.EXE has a lot of missing options yet - All Texts are also fixed, in the final release a lot of texts are will be supported by a Language file - More PCBCodes will be supported - External Upload File Processor / Virus scanner ├────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ Known and Unknown Bugs ├>─┤ The following bugs/problems could apear: - Sharing violations during upload fileprocessing - Bimodem Upload/Download not tested very well, aborted files are also seen as fully downloaded/uploaded. (Hint: Who can give good bimodem settings or tips how to read the logfile!) - well, that was it :)... Other bugs are unknown to us (whow, scary :)) ├────────────────────────────────────<┤ Notes for Programmers & Releasers! ├>─┤ Wareztag! supports the following files in the uploaded archives, which will be extracted and inserted in the following order of priority: FILE_ID.PCB standard dizfile with with (fast) PCB Codes in it. With @HANGUP@ protection of course :-) FILE_ID.ANS the same dizfile only with ANSI colors in it FILE_ID.ASC the same dizfile only with ASCII colors in it FILE_ID.DIZ standard .diz file (PCBoard standard) The following environment SETtings are supported by all the Synopsis/EOH utilities: SET PROMPTS = Here you can place all your PROMPTxx.ANS and MORExx.ANS SET TASK = Same as with FrontDoor/IM: Which task you currently run. (only usefull for multinode boards) SET LOG = Where the logfiles will be placed (mostly only used for the Default config setting) SET DSZLOG = Where the DSZ-compatible logfile will be placed. SET FASTBASE = Path to the FastBase (without it TAG! won't run) ** Other important stuff to know: FILES.BBS Yep, Wareztag works with the old FILES.BBS... no shitty big, slow RA-FileBase. @PCBOARDCODES@ Wareztag supports the most important PCB-codes + All Colors!. ^K/^F Codes The most important Remote Access one's (RA 2.50 compatible!) STRUCTURES The structures for 3rd party software will be released when the official Wareztag! is available. Releasing it now isn't usefull because structs are just like living creatures :)) ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────<┤ Last Notes ├>─┤ Well, this is the end of this doc.
