Maxi*FREQ revision history...
-----------------------------
1.00 => First version to get basics in place.
1.01 => Fixed nasty bug that would zero OKFILE and the
FREQLIST if times were invalid.
1.02 => Fixed some potentially nasty bugs involving the banner
file and special OK files. It will now ignore BannerFile
and SpecialOKs processing if those directives are not
present in MAXIFREQ.CFG.
Archiver is optional...if no Archiver keyword is present,
then Maxi*FREQ will leave the FREQLIST unarchived. If you
do use Archiver, you need to have a corresponding ArcParams
keyword as well!
Maxi*FREQ will abort if MAXIFREQ.CFG is not found. If you
get this message, then there are two possible reasons for
it:
1. Your batch file needs to set the path to the
directory from which Maxi*FREQ runs!
2. Your MAXIFREQ.CFG isn't in the same directory
as Maxi*FREQ...and it absolutely must be there!
Finally, I didn't realise that the SpecialOKs file could
be used to password-protect certain files. It is useful
only for those files that are not in your regular download
areas...if you password protect a file that is in your
regular DL areas, you are likely to get a duplicate entry
in your OKFILE (which will defeat the purpose of password
protection!). See the documentation for SpecialOKs for
the way to do it! :)
I am thinking of a way to efficiently allow password
protection of certain files in the download areas
which may be available in a later update (I can do it one
of two ways...one password for an entire area or individual
passwords for certain files *IN* an area...the first one
is easy, the second one isn't!).
A big thank-you goes out to Bill Scull for pointing out
all of these bugs (and leaving three bug reports on my
system after my labour day holiday!) and unrealised
features!
1.03 => Killed Bill's extra newline bug...oops! :)
1.04 => Added two feature requests from Bill Scull...
The first is the full five lines of a FoReM/Turbo file
description until the line grabbed has no characters or
all five lines has been written.
I also completely revamped the statistics reporting
functions and added a new "total filesystem" statistic
at the end which lists all areas, files, and bytes taken
(it's a recap of all of the individual areas). Let me
know what you think about the output! :)
1.05 => Fixed a spacing problem in the statistics output...Bill
this is the one you reported to me a while ago and I forgot
it until this morning (0233 hours, that is!) as it wasn't
all that critical.
1.06 => Maxi*DIFF's new parser design retrofitted to Maxi*FREQ. See
Maxi*DIFF's update file for complete description! :)
SunFox
2.00 => Now reads the files from the paths specified in the DLarea
line. See the included example for details. Also supports
a trailer file for things to add at the end of the OKFile.
Direct support for FoReM has been removed.
