If you are editing an area that has GIF files in it
and you are standing at a line with a GIF file at it like
this ...
NICENICE.GIF [0]
... and you press 043 you will get this...
NICENICE.GIF [0] (640*480*256)
That is, the resoloution and number of colours will be added
to the description of that particular file.
Febbs Supports both the GIF87a Standard and the GIF89a standard
as well as the JPEG standard. When adding info about JPEG (JPG) files
Febbs will only add the resolution and not the number of colours.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 7 Copy Line
047 - Copy Line
Pressing 047 will Copy the line you are standing on to a buffer.
And pressing 047 again will transfer the buffer to line you area

current FILES.BBS.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 8 Look inside archive/GIF/JPG info
;
014 - Look inside archive/GIF/JPG info
This option lets you look inside Archives. That's your packed
files. You will see an window with the contents of the archive
you were standing on with the cursor.
If the file is a GIF file instead of an archive you'll see an
info-window containing relevant info about that paticular
GIF picture.
After Febbs has scanned the entire file you will be able to
scroll around inside the window just like when choosing an area.
And if you wish to look at a file inside the archive just
press enter and that particular file is unpacked and loaded
into the internal text viewer. If the files extension is
.EXE, .COM or .OVR the the internal Binary viewer will be used.
But first you must set up the Unpackers in the setup.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 9 Switch area.
;
042 - Switch area.
This one is handy. It lets you switch areas from inside the
editor. You will no longer have to go to the main menu to
swap area. This function works just like the choose area
item. Just cruise between your areas and select a new one
with enter. ( or use the HotKeys ! That is if you wish to
go to area 19 simply press 1, look in the lower left corner
press 9 and press Enter. As fast as it can be )
You will upon selection be transfered directly to the new
area. The FILES.BBS you leave will automatically be saved.
All editing of the file will be saved and if you
wish to discard your changes you will have to choose 003
to abandon your changes. And take off from the
main menu for new adventures in Files Land.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 10 Removing files / lines
029 - Remove both line and file
Pressing 029 will delete the file and the description
not only from the list but from the disk as well.
FEBBS will ask you if you're sure when deleting files. No
harm done if you choose the wrong file.
See Also 36031 - Remove File but leave description in FILES.BBS
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 36 Remove File but leave description in FILES.BBS
031 - Remove File but leave description in FILES.BBS
Pressing 031 will Delete the file but leave the description.
FEBBS will ask you if you're sure when deleting files. No
harm done if you choose the wrong file.
This one is to be used when you are short of diskspace but wish
to leave the description in the list and thereby make it <OFF-Line>
when your users view your FILES.BBS.
See Also 10029 - Remove both line and file
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 11 Tagging Files / Lines
023 - Tag Line for later action.
Tag line will simply tag the line you are standing on. It will
change colour to the colour chosen by you in the setup to
indicate that it is tagged. If the line is already tagged then
the line will be non-tagged. Simply a Tag-Toggler.
024 - Global Unmark of tagged Lines.
This option clears all tags in the current FILES.BBS
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 12 Hurl/Copy tagged Lines/Files.
027 - Hurl tagged Lines/Files to different Area .
!LINE
026 - Copy tagged Lines/Files to different Area .
This option will let you hurl (move) or Copy the already
tagged lines to a different area. The select area window
comes up again. Then when you have chosen an area to hurl to
they will be copied there and then the old FILES.BBS
will be saved and the new one loaded.
When the chosen area has been loaded just move to the position
you would like to give the hurled files descriptions and press
027 (or 026) again. The descriptions will now be placed
where you were standing when you pressed 027 (or 026).
If the file areas you are hurling between are on the
same drive no physical moving is done. Only at directory level
are the files moved. This makes the Hurl process extremely fast.
Febbs is all the time trying to determine that enough diskspace is
left on the drive that you are hurling to.
If a file that you are hurling (copying) already exists in the
area you are hurling (copying) to FEBBS will ask you if you wish
to overwrite the file. If you answer Yes the file will be overwritten
but the description won't be transfered to the new area. This is to
prevent dupe descriptions in the area. FEBBS simply assumes that
the description already in the area is the correct and simply Zonks
the new one. This behavior only applies when hurling files. If Copying
Febbs will move the description anyway.
See Also 35056 - Hurl Anywhere/without changing Area
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!Topic 35 Hurl files anywhere/without changing area.
056 - Hurl files anywhere/without changing area
!LINE
057 - Copy files anywhere/without changing area
This version of the hurl/copy will NOT let you place the descriptions in
the area that you are hurling/copying to. That is when hurling/copying
you will NOT be transfered to the new area. The descriptions of the
files will be placed last in the area you are hurling/copying to. This
behavior is nice if you for instance are cleaning up your upload area and
all files go to different areas or if you wish to copy some files to
a floppy disk.
Also this version of the hurl/copy will let you hurl/copy files and
descriptions to any directory you wish. Tag as usual the files you
wish to hurl and then while browsing the areas of your areafile
press <Ctrl-Enter>. A new box will appear that lets you type in
the full path to where you wish to hurl the files. If the directory
doesn't exist Febbs will ask you if you wish to create it first.
Although the same restrictions as the MD command in DOS must be
observed, that is Febbs can't create a whole path Ex: C:\FILES\PASCAL\
can't be created but if C:\FILES\ existed already then the subdir PASCAL
would be added. Febbs will also try to create a new FILES.BBS if one
doesn't exist in the directory you're hurling to. All the descriptions
will be placed in this FILES.BBS.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 13 Move tagged lines inside editor
025 - Move tagged lines inside editor
Moves the tagged lines inside the editor. When you press 025
all the tagged lines in the editor will be moved to the line you are
standing on. Nice if you wish to move a number of files. A bit
too much of a job to do that with 34049
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 14 Add DownLoad Counter
046 - Add DownLoad Counter as specified in setup
If you press 046 a Download Counter will be addded first
to the description. You may specify the style of the counter
in the setup. If no counter specified the description will
be justified at position 14.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 15 Sort Block.
037 - Sort Block. Directions Keys mark Block. Enter Sort
This one lets you sort a block that you first mark with the
direction keys.
Febbs is not aware of multiline descriptions ( Yet ).
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 16 Remove missing files
030 - Remove missing files from FILES.BBS
When you press 030 FEBBS will check that all the files in
FILES.BBS realy exists. If not the description in FILES.BBS is
removed.
See also 17028 - Tag All missing Files
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 17 Tag All Missing Files
028 - Tag All Missing Files
Maybe 16030 ( Remove missing files from FILES.BBS )
is too strong for you. You wish to have files "Off-Line"
due to lack of disk space. But you do not wish to keep all that
junk lying around as Off-Line. Easy ! Simply press 028 and all
missing files will be tagged and then untag those you wish to
keep and the others use 18045 ( Kill taged lines )
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 18 Kill All tagged Lines / Files
;
045 - Kill All tagged Lines / Files
Just as the headline says Alt-K Kills all tagged lines ( and the
associated files ) in the Current FILES.BBS. If a file is missing
it simply works as 034 ( Remove line ).
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 19 Indent comment
<TAB> - Indent comment to position choosen in setup
Sometimes, when descriptions of files take more than one line
it is nice to be able to indent the following lines at a position
that will look nice when your BBS displays them. Pressing tab will
do that for you with the line you are standing on. If the line
doesn't fit it well be wrapped to the next line.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 20 Search for filename
038 - Search for filename
See Also 21Continue search
038 will pop up an entry field where you enter a search string
to look for. >>> Note no wildcards or anything like that. If
You wish to find "NICEGIRL.GIF" just enter "GIRL".
Then Press Enter to start search. Febbs will first search in the
current area for the name. Starting at row below the cursor position
and to the end. If Febbs finds "GIRLS.GIF" and stops at that but you
know that one is not the right one use 039 to continue Search.
But if not found then a question will pop up on the screen asking
if you wish to search global. If you answer yes you will see Febbs
stroll down all your Areas looking for the file. Only Files listed
in FILES.BBS are taken into the search. After completed search
or after you have pressed a key to stop the search You will any files
that were found in a scrollable window just like the choose area window.
And if you position yourself upon a file and press enter you will
automaticly be transfered to that file. If in another area, a new
FILES.BBS will be loaded and the cursor will be placed on the
File you wanted to go to.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 21 Continue search
039 - Continue search
See Also 20Search of filename
As said a 039 continues the search after the first "hit" with 038.
Ex. A nice way to use search is like this.
You have just recieved the latest DSZ protocol by Chuck Forsberg and
want to hurl it from the UL area to its appropriate area. But you
do not remember where the old versions are. Simply press 038
enter the Search argument DSZ press enter and Febbs will start looking
for any DSZ files for you. When you see the old ones popping up in the
search window press any key to stop search. You Now see where the old
file is, what it is called and what area and area number.
You remember the number and press escape to abandon the Search
completely. You tag the New DSZ. Press 027 for Hurl. Enter the
area number where the old ones were. For example 15 and press Enter.
You will find yourself inside the FILES.BBS of area 15 at the top.
Now to get to the old DSZ files simply press 039 to Continue
search and viola! there you are. Press 027 to "put down" the new
DSZ and use 029 to get rid of the old one.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)

!TOPIC 22 Touch file on current line
048 - Touch file on current line

!TOPIC 30 FEBBS Versus Viruses and LZEXE
FEBBS Versus Viruses and LZEXE
The versions before 0.06 of FEBBS was packed with LZEXE.EXE
(c) 1989 Fabrice BELLARD. This to prevent the program from
being attacked by viruses. But with the release of the unpacker
for LZEXE this is not a reliable method any longer. Therefore
FEBBS scans itself upon execution and checks if any changes were
made to the EXE code. If there were FEBBS will halt with an error
message.
Due to the CRC check of the EXE file, and the fact that Febbs is
overlayed to save memory, you can *NOT* pack this program with
LZEXE or PkLite. And you can't alter the code in any way.
(Which the license forbids you to any way).
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 31 Memory Status.
052 - Memory Status.
When you're beginning to suspect that you're running short of
memory, disk as well as internal memory, a press on 052 will
either confirm youre worst suspecions or calm you :-)
Please Keep in mind that every line in a FILES.BBS occupies
aproximately 162 Bytes of Memory inside Febbs Editor.
So a 300 Lines FILES.BBS occupies aprox 48,600 Bytes in
memory.
Try be not to stingy when you assign memory to Febbs.
Give the program Elbow room to work. Remember that
hurling files also increases the memory needs ...
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 32 SWAPPING
When shelling Febbs has the ability to swap itself out of memory to
make room for other programs to run. When swapping, Febbs can swap to
Disk, EMS and XMS. FEBBS will check for the presence of EMS and use
that for the swap file. If there is no EMS or not enough free EMS,
FEBBS will try to allocate XMS memory, and if there is no XMS or not
enough Febbs will try to swap to disk.
You have the abilty to toggle swapping on or of in the setup. If
you're using a system with slow disks and no extra memory then it can
be good to turn of swapping to speed things up. Please keep in mind
that PAK for instance needs aproximately 185 Kb of memory to operate
and ARJ even more, so therefore check how much memory you have when
shelling from Febbs before you decide to turn swapping off.
FEBBS leaves only aprox. 9k resident when swapping. This will give
you maximum ram to do whatever you wish from within FEBBS. Please note
that you mustn't load any TSRs or other programs that doesn't give
back all memory when you are finished with them.
;
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 37 {+}
The {+} mark tells you that this function is only available in
the registered version. I have chosen to make some of the functions
only available to registered users. This is so that those people
that supports me and my development of Febbs will get something
extra. It is only those extra functions that has this mark, all
normal functions are available to all users so that they may
evaluate the software fully before deciding on registering and
continued usage of Febbs.

!TOPIC 38 Add character literal.
033 - Add character literal.
Press 033 and then Any key (or use Alt-Keypad) to add any
character to the FILES.BBS. Even if it is occupied by a function
usally. Good to have when you're adding Avatar codes or some other
Control codes that your BBS supports. Some control codes can be
added without you using this functions but as more and more
control codes are occupied by functions inside the editor it is
often easiest to use this one all the time.
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 39 Copy Description to File below.
032 - Copy Description to File below.
This one copies the description from the line you're standing on
to the file below. Nice when you're adding the same description
to multiple files.
;*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
;
!TOPIC 40 Touch all tagged Files.
035 Touch all tagged files.
Works just like 22048 that touches the file on the current line,
although this one touches all tagged files. By touching I mean
setting current date and time on the file.

!TOPIC 42 Look at the FILES.BBS the way the user sees it
050 - Look at the FILES.BBS the way the user sees it
When you execute this command Febbs will let you look at the FILES.BBS
