Disclaimer: Use of this program constitutes your agreement to the following.
I will in no way be liable for any damages you may incure from
the use of this program. A good software user backs up before
trying anything new on his/her system. I have tested this
program to the best I can, and it has been released with no
known errors.
Usage : RGIMPORT is distributed as Shareware, if you enjoy and use this
program for more than 2 weeks, you are required to register it
with me. Registration does several things....
1. It relieves your guilt about using something you didn't pay for.
2. It encourages me to not only continue developing RGIMPORT,
but also to be involved in other programming efforts for the
benefit of all.
3. Any disabled features will be activated.
5. It will show in the file list who it is registered to, to
show everyone that you support the 'try before you buy' concept.
Registration : Registration for this version of RGIMPORT is only $10.
I feel this is more than fair, considering what it does, and
the time that was involved in developing and testing it.
As more features are added, the price will go up. Registering
now will let you get in while the price is low.
To register just fill out the RGIMPORT.REG file and mail it
off to me. Depending on your choices, you should get your
registration code within a few weeks.
!IMPORTANT!
Your copy will be registered to the EXACT name you provide.
this name MUST match what you have as 'Sysop Name' under
(S)etup, submenu A. BBS Configuration.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program....
How to use RGIMPORT...
RGIMPORT must be run from your main Renegade directory, UNLESS you have
the enviroment variable 'BBS' set such as
SET BBS=C:\RENEGADE\
^- IMPORTANT that you include the trailing slash!
RGIMPORT will do several things, however, you must select them In The
Proper Order or they Will Not Work.
[Base#] [Input Filename] <Column #, registered copys only>
OR
[CRC]
Items in {} are what RGIMPORT will use if no other choices are selected.
Items in [] are required
Items in <> are optional
[Base#]
This is the number of the Renegade file base, note that although
Renegade starts at 1, the data still starts at 0 (like Telegard)
Therefore, 0 is what Base 1 is inside Renegade.
[InputFile]
This is a PLAIN text file, in the following format:
( A sample file, named TEST.BBS is included in the archive)
<Column #>
This tells RGIMPORT at what column # the description starts,
if left blank or RGIMPORT is unregistered, it will default to 15
|- Column 1 Starts filename, may contain spaces, 12 chars max (FILE .ZIP)
v 1 v- Starts description 60 chars MAX
123456789012345
| |
FILENAME.EXT Description Here, 60 Chars MAX
File.zip wierd zip file
FILEB .ARJ an ARJ file
* These are all acceptable entries. The file MUST NOT contain ANY blank lines.
* If it does, they _might_ be imported into your DIR file or it _may_ lock up
if the last line or first line of the file is blank (nope, not sure why...)
[CRC]
This will return a CrC value, which you can compare with the
value listed in this file.
The CrC value when RGIMPORT left my system was : 676d661b
If it has changed, then the EXE has changed and
I would not recommend you use it.
Using these command line options, these items are ORDER Sensitive
Examples....
RGIMPORT 0 TEST.BBS
RGIMPORT 0 C:\TEMP\TEST.BBS
Would upload files found in the file TEST.BBS to area 0, this is file area 1 as
listed in Renegade filebase editor! Note the 'FILES.BBS' file can be any name
and in any directory you specify. The file is only opened, read, and closed.
It is not written to or deleted.
RGIMPORT 0 D:\LISTS\FILES.BBS 23
Would upload files found in the file FILES.BBS to area 0, this is file area 1 as
listed in Renegade filebase editor! Note the 'FILES.BBS' file can be any name
and in any directory you specify. The file is only opened, read, and closed.
It is not written to or deleted. The descriptions would be taken starting at
column 23.
Closing...
Whether you register this program or not, I'd like to hear your comments
about it. Let me know what you think of it, how well (or not) it works, the
screen displays, improvements, additions, etc. I can only come up with so
much, and it is up to YOU to let the utility writers know exactly what you
are looking for. If you find any errors or bugs in either the program or the
documentation, please let me know!
