- FileReq - by taine gilliam copyright 1990
-
- FileReq allows other sysops to search your file list and directories
- using File Request.
-
- The caller creates a File REQuest in the format:
-
- FILEREQ text_pattern [text_pattern...] -T
- FILEREQ file_pattern [file_pattern] [-Dmmddyyyy]
-
- The optional switches are:
- -T - use text mode. The default is file mode.
- -D - set date for filemode.
-
- The default mode for FileReq is File mode. In file mode the patterns
- are considered to be file specifications to search for.
-
- Text mode searches the Files.BBS of each directory for the pattern
- string and returns any lines that match. The search is NOT case
- sensitive.
-
- The Date function is only valid in file mode. It causes only files newer
- than the date to be listed. The date is of the format MMDDYYYY.
-
- QM, Please and Bonk are unable to directly build the required *.REQ file.
- One can use Amax or manually edit the *.REQ file.
-
- When the Host Binkley recieves the FREQ, FILEREQ is run, a result list
- is compiled and sent on the the caller. The file is sent as an attach
- using a *.QLO file.
-
- FileReq requires a config file named FILEREQ.CFG. This file contains the
- following information:
-
- outdir - Base outbound directory. Zones are supported. Must be Present.
- level - Security level for the search. Defaults to 20.
- filelist - The name of the file containing the list of directories.
- Defaults to flsearch.ctl. The format of this file is:
- path security_level area_description.
- zone - your primary zone. Defaults to 1
- system - The name of your system.
- report - The name of the report file. Defaults to FileReq.lst.
- filebbs - the name for your "files.bbs" file. Defaults to FILES.BBS
-
- FileReq is designed to work at a Magic Function for BinkleyTerm. The Sysop
- must add a line of the form:
-
- +D:\PATH\FILEREQ
-
- to Binkley's OKFILE.
