DLG_DIZ v2.0 ⌐ Marcus Johnson 1994
For The DLG BBS Operating System
Legal stuff:
I accept no responsibility for any harm caused to you or your system by
using this program. This version can be modified to suit your uses but
I ask that you send me your modified code.
What is it? :
The usage of FILE_ID.DIZ description files are becoming popular on all
bbs software packages out there. Since there wasn't a built-in utility
in DLG I decided to write one. I got the idea from a program someone
had written for C-Net.
What does it do? :
When a user uploads a file, DLG_DIZ checks the archive for a file called
FILE_ID.DIZ. If this file is found DLG_DIZ will insert the text from it
into the user's description editor so they can modify it or use it like
it is.
What archivers does it work with? :
DLG_DIZ currently works with LHA, LZH, ARC, ZOO, ZIP, ARJ and DMS
archives. It will also check text files for their id. What more
is there?
Installation? :
Installation is very simple. Make a directory in your DOORS: directory,
called DLG_DIZ and put the file DLG_DIZ.rexx in it.
You must have the following in your files installed on your system:
c:LHa
c:UnZip
c:Zoo
c:PKXArc
c:UnArj
c:DMSDescript
I've included the file DMSDescript in the archive. I have no idea where
this file originated and I don't have an original archive of it. If
anyone knows where to get it let me know.
DLGConfig/Batch/Upload1.batch
You can cut out the following and make it into the Upload1.batch file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.key username/a,filename/a
.bra "["
.ket "]"
changetaskpri -2
rx Doors:DLG_DIZ/DLG_DIZ.rexx [username],[filename]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any brackets can be used. In case you already have an Upload1.batch
file, just make sure you use whatever brackets are at the top of it
instead of the "[" and "]" that I use. Also, make sure that you DON'T
put a space between the the two arguments. YOU MUST, HOWEVER, PUT THE
"," (COMMA) BETWEEN THE ARGUMENTS OR THE PROGRAM WILL NOT WORK!
The future? :
I dunno. What do you guys want to see?
Suggestions & Complaints? :
Send all suggestions, bugs, complaints or whatever to
