...iNDUSTRY presents...
File List Downloader by Ogisha/iNDUSTRY V2.5
--------------------------------------------
DayDream door which allows users to download lists of file catalogs from
conferences.
Copyright:
----------
This door is copyright of Ognjen Nedeljkovic - Ogisha.
(c)1996-1999 by Ogisha's quality doors.
Archive can be freely distributed as long as it's kept untouched.
Disclaimer:
----------
I'm not responsable if this door cause you any damage.
Registration:
-------------
Not needed anymore. It's freeware now.
Requirements:
-------------
You need DreamDoor.library version 5.1 or above. Door was tested
on DayDream V1.27. I don't make guarantee that door will work with any
older version.
It has also been tested with MadVirgin's DayDeam V1.30 BETA 5 and
with Nevermind's DayDreamNT beta versions.
You need Lha, Lzx and Zip archivers in your C: directory.
Instalation:
------------
1. Just copy file FileListDL without extension to whereever you hold your
doors. There are two versions optimised for 68000 and 68020 processors
with appropriate file exstensions.
2. Copy FileListDL.CFG to dir where your DreamUtils ENV variable points to.
3. Copy FileListDL.DOC to where ever you hold your docs.
4. Add to your Commands.DAT something like this:
...
...
+
DOOR_COMMAND.. DD
DOOR_TYPE..... 1
DOOR_SECURITY. 5
DOOR_EXECUTE.. Doors:FileListDL %N
+
...
...
Configuration:
--------------
Look for what is written in FileListDL.CFG config file.
First is your BBS ID. It is short for your BBS name. It shouldn't
be longer than three or four characters.
Second is a path for temporary directory. If you want everything
to be fast, put it somewhere in RAM:. This must end with ':' or '/'. If
you are low in memory, or have lots of nodes, then select temporary
directory somewhere else but RAM:, because this door is memory hungry. You
should experiment with temporary directory to gain optimal speed and
memory usage.
Third is Y/N switch. 'Y' will allow users to download lists from
password protected conferences (see more in features). It takes effect
only if user has selected to download lists from all conferences.
Features:
---------
This is reliable, very fast and clean written door. It is made to
be as fast as it can. All the things which depend on me are written in the
fastest way, but some speed depends of speed of the archivers.
User can download file areas packed with Lha, Lzx, or Zip, or
download it as ASCII text.
User can choose between one or all file areas in current conference
or even all file areas from all conferences. If user has not access to
some conferences, he will not receive lists from them. If user has access
to cenferences which are protected with password and he has chosen to
download lists from all conferences, you can allow him to download lists
from these kind of conferences, or not. If you allow user to download from
password protected conferences he will be asked for conference password
each time FileListDL finds one. That could be boring if you have lots of
password protected conferences which some users have access to, and thats
why I added possability to turn it off. Users can allways download lists
from password protected conferences if they enter each one separately and
if they know the password, of course.
File_ID.DIZ is being added to all archives. In File_ID.DIZ are
written some data useful for user like BBS name, date, conference, file
area, etc.
Note:
-----
Door was written to work with 16 Cols ANSI, but it should look nice
in 8 Cols ANSI, too. ;)
Bugs:
-----
There should not be any. ;)
If you find some contact me.

Unfortunetly, i don't have much time for developing because of my
exams. That's why you get a new version every six months. ;)
