You should always make a backup of your data files before trying any new
utility. I (Steve Gasque) or Shoals Community College cannot and will not

you do experience problems, call SCC InfoLink at the above mentioned number
and leave a comment to the Sysop.


Overview
~~~~~~~~
ALLFILES is Shareware and can be freely distributed in the same form
it was received and nothing should be added or taken away.
ALLFILES v1.0 was written to provide a way for Wildcat v3.x users to
create a list of available files on their BBS. ALLFILES has been tested
on a Novell Network.


ALLFILES will allow you to exclude up to 50 file areas from the list
and it allows any compression utility to be used to create your
compressed version of the list. ALLFILES will also freshen the file
size, date and time in your wildcat ALLFILES.DAT database. ALLFILES
will also allow several configuration files to be used simply by
passing the configuration file name as a parameter to ALLFILES. If a
file name parameter is not passed then the default of ALLFILES.CFG
will be used. If a configuration file does not already exist then you
will be prompted to enter the following information to be stored in
the configuration file. 


Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Full Path to MAKEWILD.DAT 
   example:   C:\WC30\
              This should normally be same path you run Wildcat from.

2. Up to 50 file area numbers to exclude
   examples:   3,15,33
               3,10-15,18
               5 6 11,22-25

File area numbers can be separated with a comma or a space. The -
(dash) means thru. For example, 10-15 means to exclude file areas 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Be sure you don't exceed the 50 file area
limit. 

3. Freshen Date, Time, File Size for compressed File? Y or N
   example:   Y

4. Name of file compression utility program with path
   example:   C:\UTILITY\PKZIP.EXE <---be sure to include the        
                                       extension


You may also include any necessary compression utility command line
parameters. For example, C:\UTILITY\ARJ.EXE A



5. Name of Compressed File as listed in ALLFILES.DAT
   example:   ALLFILES.ZIP  <---must be added to ALLFILES.DAT        
                                manually thru WildCat first time.

6. Path for location of .TXT file
   example:   C:\WC30\
              This can be any existing path. 

7. Enter Name for Text File
   example:   SCC.TXT
              This will be the ASCII text file of your ALLFILES list.

8. Erase Text File after compressing? Y or N
   example: N

You may want the text file to remain for your own viewing later. 

9. Single or Double Line List S\D?
   example: D

            S for Single line will show only the File name, Size, and
            Description. The D for Double line will show the File    
            name, size, file date, number of downloads, date of last 
            access, password required, free file, and description.   
            You can use 2 different configuration files and create 2 
            compressed files. One could be called ALLFILES.ZIP and   
            the other ALLFILED.ZIP. ALLFILES.ZIP could contain the   
            single line listing and ALLFILED.ZIP could contain the   
            double line listing. Your users would then have a choice 
            of which way they want to see the list. 


You can have as many different configuration files as you like and
use a batch file to call ALLFILES passing the appropriate
configuration file name. The batch files can then be ran as a
scheduled event.
