OVERVIEW
========
Galledis was created to ease putting Files online. It is a CNet
Implementation of AmiExpress' Local Upload, but with many more
Features.
Imagine you just downloaded Tons of Files and want to put 'em
online. Up to now you need a DirTool to copy/move the Files and
you need to know where the appropiate directory is. With Galledis
you log in, enter the UDBase and at the right prompt you start
Galledis. A reqtools.library Requester will pop up asking you for
the Files to be copied/moved. If you're ready, Galledis will do the
Work for you and, new in v1.30, optionally auto-adopt the first File.
But that's not all. Galledis is extremely configurable to your Needs
(also for run-time through Command Line Arguments) and it supports
multiple UDBase Partitions.
FEATURES
========
+ NEW: AUTO-adopting of first File possible
+ NEW: Can display Configuration used
+ NEW: Overriding of Port Restriction possible
+ NEW: German Documentation
+ The first and only Local Upload utility for CNet
+ Extremely configurable without external Configfile
+ Command Line Parser (? supported) allowing Run-time Configuration
+ Supports multiple UDBase Partitions
+ Ask Mode
+ Takes Advantage of reqtools.library's excellent Requesters
+ File Requester can open on CNet's Screen
+ No bad programming - highly optimized, unstolen Code
+ Easy to use
REQUIREMENTS
============
Galledis requires:
+ reqtools.library by Nico François
+ rexxreqtools.library by Rafael D'Halleweyn
+ Move by Kai Iske
+ CNet 3.05c
I tested Galledis with reqtools.library Version 38.1092,
rexxreqtools.library 37.71, Move 1.10 and CNet 3.05c.
Galledis will *not* work on CNet 2.63, e.g. due to changed GetUser
Values! On request I might do you the favour and convert them.
INSTALLATION
============
Just execute the supplied Script File "Install" or install by hand:
- copy Move to C:
- copy reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library to Libs:
- copy Galledis to PFiles:
No matter whether you choose the lazy or the manual Way, you'll still
have to add a new Entry to Section 4 of your BBSMenu File which starts
Galledis. Don't forget to restrict Access.
If you're a novice CNet Sysop: Start your favourite Text Editor
and load the File 'CNet:bbsmenu'. Scroll down to the End of Section 4
(UDBase) and add the following Line:
<TAB>LUP |#0PFiles:Galledis} |`31
^
`-- This is a CTRL-Q Character, ASCII Code 17!
Notice the `31 at the End. ` initates a List of Access Groups which
are allowed exclusively to run the Tool. So if you have a CoSysop with
Access Level 30 you would write `30,31.
Of course you can change LUP to what you want as long as it's not
already used in the File.
Also don't forget to change the Path if you installed Galledis
somewhere else. If you used the Install Script PFiles: is the right
Location.
CONFIGURATION
=============
+ Show Run-Time Configuration? (Variable: showconfig)
If 1, everytime you're running Galledis you're informed which
Settings apply NOW you're running it. If 0, you're not :).
Default is 1. Command Line Form: Cx.
+ Operation Mode (Variable: opmode)
If you want Galledis to copy _all_ Files, set this to 0. If you
want Galledis to move _all_ Files, set this to 1. Setting 2
enables Ask Mode which asks you for every File whether to copy,
move or to abort.
Default is 2. Command Line Form: Mx.
+ Default Path for the Requester (Variable: reqpath)
This is the Path the ReqTools Filerequester will scan first.
Usually this will be your Up- and Downloads Directory.
If you use this from the Command Line do *NOT* use any Spaces !!!
Default is 'DH0:'. Command Line Form: Rx.
+ Flush Requester Buffers? (Variable: reqflush)
ReqTools features an internal Directory Cache. If you used Galledis
once and start it again the Requester will remember the previous
Contents. If you want to disable this Cache, set this to 1 (Yes),
else specify 0 (No).
Default is 0. Command Line Form: Fx.
+ Open Requester on CNet's Screen? (Variable: reqscreen)
If you want the Requester to be opened on the Screen you started
Galledis from set this to 1 (Yes), else specify 0 (No).
Default is 1. Command Line Form: Sx.
+ Partition Select? (Variable: partselect)
If you have one UDBase0: Assign, set this to 0. Or to 1, if you
want Galledis to display you where the Files will be copied or
moved to. If you have several UDBase Partitions, set this to 2
to enable Partition Select.
Default is 1. Command Line Form: Px.
+ Default Partition (Variable: defpart)
Only required if you set partselect to 2.
Default is 0.
+ Override Password (Variable: override)
Password to override Port Restriction. See below for more Info.
Don't use ALT or CTRL Characters!
Default is "".
+ Log Override Attempts? (Variable: logoverride)
Should Galledis log Override Attempts? 0=No, 1=Yes, 2=Full.
See below for more Info.
Default is 2.
+ Auto-adopt Files? (Variable: autoadopt)
Should Galledis auto-adopt the first File? 0=No or 1=Yes.
See below for more Info.
Default is 1.
+ Adopt Orphans Command (Variable: aocommand)
Some Sysops may have localized their system heavily...
put the Command you use in the BBSMenu File here.
As you have seen some Options have a Command Line Form. You can append
one or several of these Options seperated by Space behind the Command
you used to call Galledis. The Order doesn't matter.
You needn't check this Docfile all the Time just to see what the
Command Line Form of an Option is. Run Galledis with "?" and you'll
get Online Help, just like with Shell Commands.
If you disabled Display of Configuration and you just want to see it
once, the Argument "C" will show it.
Note that the last two Arguments will cause Galledis to exit immediately
after finishing their jobs.
Another Argument for the Command Line is "O" which forces Galledis
to override Port Restriction. Normally Galledis can be run from a
local Port only. If you for any Reason want to disable this Check
specify Option "O" and enter the Password you specified in the
variable override. If you set logoverride to 2, all Attempts to
override are logged, if 1 only failed ones. Leave override empty
to disable overriding at all.
Last not least about the Auto-adopting. v1.30 goes a Step further
than in previous Versions. You needn't know the first Filename
anylonger. I already hear you saying "Amazing Feature"... it is
simply not possible to auto-adopt ALL Files !!! I don't want to
explain it here, if you're an advanced coder, you'll know why.
USAGE
=====
Some Examples for valid Command Strings:
LUP ?
LUP M2 RHD1: P0
LUP S1 RDF0: C
LUP F1
Invalid Command Strings:
LUPM0 will cause CNet not to recognize the LUP Command
LUP RHD1:P1 will make the Requester ask for "HD1:P1"
LUP F1S1 will make Galledis ignore the Argument as it's not
supported
LUP F3 will make Galledis print an Error Message because
the F Argument accepts 0 or 1 as Parameter only
The overall Usage of Galledis is pretty easy and does not need to
be explained, does it?
Please refer to the reqtools.library's Manuals for how to use
the Requester (if you need to). Multi-Selection of Files is done
by clicking on the first File, then, while holding the SHIFT Key,
clicking on the other Files.
For Usage of the Move Commando type 'Move ?' or check its Docfile.
