PVTFILE is a simple program that allows trusted users to manage their own
file area.  It's aim is to increase user uploads and participation, but
also give sysop a break from sorting/filing uploads.  Users have to 
upload from your regular file menu to allow Wildcat! to do virus scanning
before users can move files to their area.  This program allows users
to move files that only they upload (from anywhere in the file base) to
their area only, list all files they've uploaded regardless of where
they are currently in the file base, and finally to delete files only 
they uploaded and that is currently in their file area.

---- SETUP -----------------------------------------------------------

Setup is very simple.  Place PVTFMENU.BBS into your \WILDCAT\DISP\
directory and PVTFILE.WCX into any directory you wish.  The menu file
(PVTFMENU.BBS) can be customized any way you want.  Use MAKEMENU to 
add PVTFILE as an option to your File Menu.  It should look something
like this with your own seletion key and directory.

If you have another program or questionaire using this spot, you'll have
to move them to use that program or questionaire.  The program won't run 
if there isn't a file area number here or if its not a valid number--must
be between 1 and the maximum number of file areas in MAKEWILD.

This program makes a PVTFILE.LOG in your WILDCAT directory to keep track
of what was moved where.

In making this program, I wanted it to look more like a normal function
of Wildcat so I left out "written by" and any BBS ads.

Your FREE to use this program all you wish.  YOU accept all 
responsibility for using this program.  If your users upload "garbage"
that gets you in trouble, it's not my fault.  I make no guarantees
regarding this program.  I do use it myself and appreciate any 
feedback you might have.  I can be reached at:

Brief History of PVTFILE:

v1.00 - 1.02  Initial creation phase

v1.03         Realized that you cannot use UpdateFile to change the file
              area of a file.  PVTFILE now deletes the file base listing
              for the file and does an AddFile with the new file area.
              
              Also changed file listing from Wildcat's normal file
              listing command to a customized list off all user's file
              uploads.

v1.04         Added extra code to prevent a user's drop carrier
              from causing any file base problems during file management.

v1.05         Minor debugging, file to be deleted is now case 
              insensitive.  Also changed press-key pauses to a timed
              pauses to prevent the system from "hanging" if a user
              drops carrier while doing file management.
