- ADD2BBS will help you add new files to your BBS.
-
- If you are like me, every time you download an interesting file from a
- BBS, after testing it, you move it to your "new uploads" directory,
- then load your PCBFiler and type in a description for the file.
-
-
- This program will help you automate this procedure by:
-
- - reading the names of the files contained in a DOS directory,
- (containing the newly downloaded files)
-
- - search a text file for the description of those files,
- (the log file of the connexion to the BBS
- or an ALLFILES.TXT kinda ASCII file)
-
- - move the files to your new uploads directory,
-
- - copy the descriptions from the log file to your NEW_UPL.DIR.
-
-
- If need be, a call to an external (exe, batch or whatever) program is
- possible when using ADD2BBS. I use this to scan the .Zip files for
- virus, remove any comment they have and replace it by my own before
- "uploading" them to my board.
-
-
- Quick summary of features:
- ──────────────────────────
-
- - if a description corresponding to a file to be moved is not found,
- that file will remain unchanged,
- - it can get its input from a large description file regardless of the
- amount of memory available,
- - several line descriptions are taken into account,
- - the description is copied from the input file but the file date & time
- are given directly by DOS right before moving the file,
- (and after the external batch is processed)
- - it is well behaved enough to be used under a network,
- - it can be used with or without a config file, etc ...
-
-
- I hope you find this program useful and if you need any help, feel free
- to call my BBS or leave me a message on Salt Air (it'll be cheaper :-)
-
- The C source is included, but if you modify it (because you had a
- briliant idea !) it would be nice to let me know what you did and also
- indicate in the doc what you've done if you plan to upload it somewhere.
-
-
- DISCLAIMER : This programs wasn't written with the intention of making
- it available to the public, but I think any sysop could use it, so I
- decided to upload it on Salt Air. I assume NO RESPONSIBILTY for this
- program or any damage that may occur from its use !
