- ; Sample Control file for XUC Version 4.2
- ; ---------------------------------------
- ;
- ; New keywords since V4 & 4.1:
- ;
- ; Break - Allow Ctrl-Break system breaks.
- ; Doswrites - Uses DOS screen writing instead of direct writes.
- ; AutoShow - Make Browser show extended info by default after a search.
- ; AutoNode - Make Browser automatically search for nodelist info.
- ; AutoStats - Make Browser show the echomail stats when first run.
- ;
- ; New keywords since V3:
- ;
- ; Nodelist - Nodelist type out of:
- ;
- ; QBBS203 - QBBS V2.03 nodelist
- ; QuickBBS - Later versions of the QBBS nodelist
- ; Binkley - BinkleyTerm nodelist
- ; SeaDOG - Seadog nodelist
- ; Version5 - Fido nodelist V5
- ; Version6 - Fido nodelist V6
- ;
- ; Nodepath - Path where the nodelist can be found.
- ; Userlist - Name of the userlist to create (usually Userlist.Xrs).
- ; DupeList - Name of the userlist in which to place duplicates.
- ; Makelist - This tells XUC to create a userlist.
- ;
- ; Note that a userlist is the standard text userlist, a userfile is an
- ; XUC format userlist.
-
- MailBag C:\XRS\Bat1mail.Xrs ; Default MailBag name if no parameter.
- Zones 1,2,3,4,5,6 ; List of up to 15 zones separated by commas.
- Cleanup ; Remove if you want duff entries left in.
- NoNum ; Remove if you want entries with numbers in them
- ; left in. Note that most usernames with a number
- ; in them belong to automatic mailing programs.
- ;Ask ; Asks if you want to continue (useful in Batch
- ; files).
- Width 44 ; Use this to specify which width to use.
- Nodelist QBBS203 ; Use this to tell Browser what type of nodelist
- ; to look for (leave out if you're not using this
- ; feature.
- NodePath C:\Nodelist\ ; Path for the nodelist files.
- UserList Userlist.XRS ; Filename for the userlist.
- Dupelist Dupes.Xuc ; Filename for the duplicates list.
- MakeList ; Include if you want XUC to produce a userlist.
-
- ; The program specifically looks for the keywords listed above placed flush
- ; with the left hand side of the page. The program doesn't understand
- ; "comments" as such - it just knows that these lines starting with semi-colons
- ; can't possibly be keywords.
- ;
- ; The "Zones" keyword must be followed by no more than 15 zone numbers,
- ; separated by commas. I haven't included checks for things like double commas,
- ; a comma at the start, or a comma at the end. So don't muck around with it
- ; to test it's verifying processes as you'll just end up with a knackered
- ; userlist!
- ;
- ; The "MailBag" keyword can include a path as well as the name, but it must be
- ; the FULL path and name (that means including extension). The same with other
- ; keywords specifying a filename.
- ;
- ; The "Cleanup" keyword, if included, tells XUC to remove entries containing
- ; characters that have ascii values which are not between 32 and 126. You'll
- ; have to run "Convert" before using this new version of XUC, and convert
- ; will clean the userlist if you specify so on the command line (see the full
- ; documentation for details. If you specify "Nonum" then the lower limit is
- ; ascii value 58. XUC V4 and above check while extracting, rather than after,
- ; which is faster than earlier versions (not noticeably slower than with
- ; no checking).
- ;
- ; The "Width" keyword must be used in the form "Width 44" or "Width 58" to
- ; specify the width of userlist to create.
- ;
- ; Thank you for reading these, and thank you also for the five quid you're
- ; going to be sending me very, very soon! (you are, aren't you???).
