For the great idea & ß-testing ! Sinatra .......... For the bug-report mentioned later ! Contents: ~~~~~~~~~ <-0-> ............................. Specials ! <-1-> ............ What does this utility do ? <-2-> .............. Installation of this tool <-3-> ............................. Known bugs <-4-> ............ Other utils done by TeCTrON <-0-> ............................. Specials ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This util has been written for /X2.x & /X3.x ! It will automatically recognize the /X-Version you`re running by checking the files: SYS:WBSTARTUP/ACP.INFO for /X3.x S:ACP.STARTUP for /X2.x If your Amiex files are hidden somewhere else on your HD let me know it and I`ll create a version for you ... but I think every /X-Sysop has the one or the other file in the corresponding drawer !? <-1-> ............ What does this utility do ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Very simple I think ... this tool places the /X-Description of a file entered by a user or a after a local upload into the filecomment , so that it can be shown from the cli or tools like diropus ! The filecomment will start with an leading ` ` to avoid creating free downloads if a description starts with an `f` as the first character ! -> Thanx Sinatra for the hint about this fucking bug ! hehehehhe <-2-> .............. Installation of this tool ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As simple as what it does ! hehe ! The only thing you have to do is copying this util somewhere on your HD and add it to you logoff-batch e.g: BBS:UTILS/DESC_ADDER.EXE 0 where 0 is the node-number you want to run the DESC-ADDER at ! Further more the CLI-COMMAND `FILENOTE` has to be placed in your C: ! <-3-> ............................. Known bugs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hmm , the only thing you could call a bug is that the DESC-ADDER has some problems with ansi-logos ... in an early beta-version the DESC-ADDER started at the first line of the description and copied the first 78 characters of the description into the filecomment ! In this version I let DESC-ADDER start at the first character that makes sense (`A-Z`,`a-z`,`0-9` make sense in my opinion) ! After one of these characters has been found DESC-ADDER will copy 78 characters to the fileinfo ... but sometimes the ansi-logo has got such a character in it and DESC-ADDER will start copying it ! So , if anybody has a solution for this problem gimme a call and let me know it ! <-4-> ............ Other utils done by TeCTrON ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PrettyDir {Tsm} ........ DirstylerUtil New update will follow soon i hope! Just working on some new options and making it /X3.x compatible Batch-Timer {Tsm} ...... Gives you the possibility to start 10 different CLI-COMMANDS at 10 different TIMES with only one util ! Staus {Shen} ............. UserStatus Door for /X Hmmm ... you don`t need a description for it i think ! Last version cause Shen sold his amiga and will not be able to make any updates of it ! Bullmenu {Shen} .......... Gives you several pages of bulletins .... you`re able to select the different by `+` & `-` aso. ... very usefull i think !
