Short: Full Screen File Tagger/Lister For DLG Pro V1.0 BBSes
Author: moonlite@sci.fi (Erno Tuomainen)
Uploader: moonlite@sci.fi (Erno Tuomainen)
Type: comm/dlg
MagicFile is a full screen file module for Dialog Pro BB/OS-systems. It
has lots of features, look the docs for the list.
This is the one and only original MagicFile.
Program is Shareware, fee $15. THIS IS NOT CRIPPLED ANYMORE!
What changed since V1.20
VERSION: (V1.22 15.04.1995} A LOT of BUGS! Sorry!
Again it took too long to finish and release this update. And
it's quite amazing how many bugs can slip past the Controlling Eye. :(
(RELD) Compiled with SAS C 6.55 and released to public
( ADD) AREA-gadget, when uploading files you can change the
destination area.
( ADD) A script which MagicFile will run when someone uploads a
file. MF_UploadFile.batch must be located in the main
directory of MagicFile.
( ADD) When uploading files, MagicFile will try to open long
file description from file T:<port>.body. This makes
FILE_ID.DIZ usage possible. With the aid of the above
script!
( ADD) 'Edit Long'-gadget in the Upload-requester. You can
edit the long description. The string requester does
not allow longer than 80 character strings.
( ADD) 'EnterArea.txt' will be displayed when user enters an
area where it exists.
( ADD) Some informative messages all around the program.
( ADD) Environment variable MF_ARCHANDLER. Defines the program
used to process archives. Default is ArcHandler and if
MF_ARCHANDLER is defined it overrides the internal
defaul
( ADD) -f parameter. If specified, MagicFile will DISABLE all
AREA CHANGE commands.
(FIXD) Upload routine improved. Now private uploads are
possible. And uploads from CURRENT DIR are handled
properly too!
(FIXD) A serious bug from Upload routine, which would crash the
machine if the source file was NULL (0) bytes long!
Sorry!
(FIXD) A bug from configurable executables. Some programs
would just freeze if started from MagicFile. They were
programs which used ReadArgs()-call to get command line
arguments. Should work now.
(FIXD) A requester bug, sysop couldn't enter EMPTY strings.
(FIXD) A bug which occured after W command (View Archive).
Archandler wouldnt work immediately after using Archive
View option. Simple bug actually:)
(FIXD) Enforcer hit (BYTE READ) which occured in Date scan only
(New files/DateScan). Harmless but annoying!
(FIXD) New File Scan didn't surprisingly work! Everything
collapes when you don't pay attention to it :(
(FIXD) A very old bug in ANSI scrolling routines! PHEW!
(CHNG) After editing LONG description (upload) the first line
of the long description will be copied into SHORT
desciprtion, like DLG does.
(CHNG) Nodemessage-routine now checks every port when sending
messages. Does not send if port has no user in it.
(BUGN) Don't use -p parameter, there seems to be a bug in it.
The date conversion routines does not work after
Saturday 01 September 1994. I don't know is this my or
DLG's fault or is there something wrong in the C-library
time-routines. Everything worked perfectly before
01/09/94. Solution is
> DON'T USE -P PARAMETER CHANGE IT INTO -U <
