G Registration removes the "Unregistered Copy" message which appears  inG the program along with a corresponding brief delay.  Once this messageG and brief delay are removed, PCBFX provides a true seamless appearance within PCBoard.G Registration enables the /EVENT mode in the FXDBM.EXE database utility (if used).G Registration stops FXDBM from placing the "Unregistered Copy"  message# into the "Top 50 Download" report.█0                   Loc/Name of DOWNLOAD.TXT File0                   ─────────────────────────────G This  is  the LOCATION AND NAME of the DOWNLOAD.TXT file used  in  theG PCBSetup parameter "Name/Loc of Transfer Summary File" located under aG heading of  "File Locations" in PCBSetup.  Use the same file  location9 and file name that is used for DOWNLOAD.TXT in PCBSetup.G Setting this in the PCBFX configuration file allows PCBFX  to run in aG command line local mode without having to read PCBoard system files to1 determine the location and name of DOWNLOAD.TXT.G The file in this parameter will be used in database modes #1 and #3 in? the "Database Mode for PCBFX to Use" parameter used elsewhere.G If using FXDBM to create a database from DOWNLOAD.TXT, this is NOT theG parameter that FXDBM uses for the DOWNLOAD.TXT name and location. That< is another parameter on the "Edit FXDBM parameters" screen.(                                   -----█3                 Security to Show Who Uploaded File3                 ──────────────────────────────────G The caller must have this security or greater to display the  uploaderG of the file being profiled. This setting covers the @UPLOADNAME@ macroG in the INFO file(s), and the corresponding parameter in the (U)ploader profile scan.G If  the caller is below this level, the above information  field  willG display "unavailable" or "not available" when displayed to the caller.█2                 Security to Show File Upload Date2                 ─────────────────────────────────G The  caller must have this security or greater to display  the  uploadG date of the file being profiled.  This setting covers the @UPLOADDATE@G macro  in the INFO file(s), along with the corresponding parameter  in (U)ploader profile scan.G If  the caller is below this level, the above information  field  willG display "unavailable" or "not available" when displayed to the caller.█5                 Security to Show Number of Downloads5                 ────────────────────────────────────G The  caller must have this security or greater to display  the  numberG of  downloads  for the file being profiled.  This setting  covers  theG @NUMBERDOWN@  macro in the INFO file(s), along with the  corresponding& parameter in (U)ploader profile scan.G If  the caller is below this level, the above information  field  willG display "unavailable" or "not available" when displayed to the caller.█4                 Security to Show Last Download Date4                 ───────────────────────────────────G The caller must have this security or greater to display the last dateG the  profiled file profiled was downloaded.  This setting  covers  theG @LASTDLDATE@  macro in the INFO file(s), along with the  corresponding& parameter in (U)ploader profile scan.G If  the caller is below this level, the above information  field  willG display "unavailable" or "not available" when displayed to the caller.█5                 Security for Sysop Special Functions5                 ────────────────────────────────────G This is the security level needed for PCBFX to allow the caller to use# these two special Sysop functions:9 (1)  The (Z)ippy scan for text in the DOWNLOAD.TXT file.D (2)  Entering a different user name in the (U)ploader Profile scan.G * This should be a security level used by Sysops and Co-Sysops only. *G If using "Database Mode" #2 (see the parameter below), Zippy scans areD not available since DOWNLOAD.TXT is not used by PCBFX in that mode.█+                      Default Uploader Name+                      ─────────────────────G If (U)pload information is not found, a default name may be displayed.G This  is useful for instance when a Sysop manually adds many files  toG their system. If a default uploader name is present, PCBFX will use itG in the @UPLOADNAME@ macro in the INFO files if no uploader information* is available about a file being profiled.7 Do not enter the @UPLOADNAME@ macro in this parameter.G To disable this default feature and have "Unavailable" display when no; upload information is found, enter NONE in this parameter.█4                'Who Uploaded' Conference Block List4                ────────────────────────────────────G If  the caller opens the PCBFX door in one of the conferences in  thisG list,  the "Name of person who sent file" (who uploaded) will  not  beG displayed. This is to accommodate Sysops who may have conferences thatF have special conference files where the uploader should not be shown. B Simply enter conference numbers separated by a comma (,) such as: 13,14,15,16,17,54,200,201,202; You may group a block of conferences together with a dash: 13-17,54,200-202= Both of the above examples would block the same conferences.G NOTE:  Entries here will not block information in the @WHOUPxx@ macros# in the TOPDL (Top Downloads) file.█1                    Compressed Filename Extension1                    ─────────────────────────────G The DEFAULT compressed filename extension is configured in  the  PCBFXG configuration files.  Setting this default in PCBFX files rather  thanG reading the information from PCBoard system files allows this  feature0 to be used in PCBFX's special Sysop local mode.G When entering a filename for a 'File profile' this extension  will  be@ appended to the entry if an extension is omitted by the caller. G The entry entered here should be the same entry for PCBFX as it is forG PCBoard.  If ZIP is the default extension for PCBoard, then ZIP should) be entered in this PCBFX parameter also.█3                   Activity to Track in CALLER Logs3                   ────────────────────────────────G You  may select the activity to track in PCBoard CALLER files when the caller uses the PCBFX door.0 *       Profile executed on file (FILENAME.EXT)G Enter "F"  to have the above written to CALLER log files each  time  a$ caller (S)elects a File to profile. *       Zippy Scan for (text)G Enter "A" (All)  to have both File profile scans and the  above  Zippy' scan text written to CALLER log files.4 Enter "N" for none if this tracking is not desired.G This setting does not affect certain caller log entries such as caller( input errors, security violations, etc.█2                    Database Mode for PCBFX to Use2                    ──────────────────────────────G You MUST read the documentation for an explanation of this  parameter.G The explanation of this parameter is beyond the scope of this F1 help.B     >> IF YOU DO NOT READ PCBFX.DOC, YOU WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY. <<G (1) Scan  DOWNLOAD.TXT *ONLY* for file  profiles.  (Y)our-profile  andG     (Z)ippy  scans *ARE* available in this  mode.  (U)ploader Profiles$     are not available in this mode.G (2) Use PCBFX.DAT *ONLY* for file profiles.  PCBFX & FXDBM will expectG     a *NEW* DOWNLOAD.TXT file each day. (Y)our-profile, (Z)ippy scans,<     and (U)ploader Profiles are not available in this mode.G (3) Use PCBFX.DAT *AND* DOWNLOAD.TXT for file profiles.  PCBFX & FXDBMG     will  expect  to find DOWNLOAD.TXT appended  to.  (Y)our-profiles,G     (Z)ippy scans, & (U)ploader Profiles *ARE* available in this mode.█1                     Disable (Y)our Profile Scans1                     ────────────────────────────G You may turn off (Y)our-profile scans with database modes 1 & 3 (it is. automatically turned off in database mode 2).  IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION:G Subscription & ratio Sysops with database modes 1 or 3 should considerG NOT allowing (Y)our-scans.  The results of a (Y)our-scan (in quantity)G will  likely be LESS than actual transfer counts in the USERS  record.E Users could use this to argue that their USERS counts are incorrect.G Set  this parameter to Y to avoid this potential subscription &  ratioG problem.  Remember  to remove it from FXMNU and FXHLP.  FXHLP containsG a brief disclaimer if you decide not to disable this function and need/ some text to point to should a question arise.█3                    Disable Compression Information3                    ───────────────────────────────G When profiling compressed files, PCBFX can display the number of filesG inside it, the oldest file date and the newest file date. This processG will  cause PCBFX to take an extra second or two to read  through  theD file to gather this information.  This may disabled if not desired.E (N)o, do not disable.  Allow PCBFX to retrieve compressed file info.G (S)low, disable "Slow drives" (CD Roms) only.  PCBFX will use the slowG    drive list from PCBoard as configured with PCBSetup.  If a file  isG    on  a drive in the "slow drive" list,  PCBFX will not retrieve  the    compression information.G (Y)es, completely  disable retrieval of compression  information.  TheF    macros for compression info should be removed from all INFO files.█5                   Security to use (U)ploader Profile5                   ──────────────────────────────────G If the FXDBM database is in use, (U)ploader profiles will display  the; following information to the user about their own uploads:E File Name    Times Downloaded    Last Download Date    Date UploadedG The caller must have this security or greater to use the (U)  command.G The FXSETUP "Security to show number of downloads, last download date,G and upload date"  are honored when displaying this information to  theG caller. (U)ploader Profile displays information about files the callerG uploaded, even if a file no longer actually exists. If the informationG about deleted files has not been purged from the PCBFX.DAT database it! will be displayed to the caller.█(                             Main Prompt(                             ───────────< You may change PCBFX's main command prompt. The default is: (H)elp, File Profile Command?F You may wish to include the command letters or command abbreviations:> (H)elp, (S), (L), (F), (T), (Y), (U), (X), (P), View Command?G Note the example above does not contain "Z" for the Zippy function, as: this function should only be made available to the Sysop.? You should also not include the "Y" if using database mode #2.G What is entered here is exactly what PCBFX will display to the caller.E See PCBFX.DOC for information on multi-language use for this prompt.█(                             File Prompt(                             ───────────?

The default is:) Text for Zippy text search (Enter)=none?G What is entered here is exactly what PCBFX will display to the caller.E See PCBFX.DOC for information on multi-language use for this prompt.█5                  Location/Name of a PCBOARD.DAT File5                  ───────────────────────────────────G A PCBOARD.DAT (PCBoard's main configuration file) is needed for  FXDBMH to  operate.  These files are usually found in each node's  directory, 7 sometimes referred to as the node's "home directory". G FXDBM  will first check the environment variable "PCBDAT" to see whereD the PCBOARD.DAT file is for the node FXDBM is currently running on.2                                                  H If a PCBOARD.DAT is not found as outlined above, then the location and G filename entered here is used. Therefore the location and name enteredG here should be the PCBOARD.DAT file for the node that will be  runningD FXDBM in the system "event" (registration required for /EVENT use).█5                  Write Event Messages to CALLERx LOG5                  ───────────────────────────────────G FXDBM will write its activity to the node's CALLER log file when  used; in the /EVENT mode (registration required for /EVENT use).G /UPDATE, /PURGE, and /TOP activity will be written to the CALLER  log,G as well as any error messages that may be generated during processing.G If you are a multi-node system, the CALLER log that is used is the one4 for the node in the PCBOARD.DAT file used by FXDBM.█4                  Location/Name of DOWNLOAD.TXT File4                  ──────────────────────────────────B This is the LOCATION AND NAME of the DOWNLOAD.TXT file for FXDBM.G Enter  the  location and filename of the DOWNLOAD.TXT file that  FXDBM; will use for creating and updating the PCBFX.DAT database.G If you copy DOWNLOAD.TXT to a temporary name before processing it withG FXDBM (recommended),  you should use that filename in this  parameter.G Otherwise, you may use the same location and filename entered for  the5 DOWNLOAD.TXT file in "Edit PCBFX parameters" screen.G The location and name entered here will also be the DOWNLOAD.TXT  fileG used  in the FXDBM /UPDATE /EVENT  mode (registration is required  for "/EVENT" use).█0                     Conferences To Always Purge0                     ───────────────────────────G In the /PURGE mode of FXDBM, files specific to certain conferences mayG be  automatically purged from PCBFX.DAT  (along with files not found).G NONE of the PCBFX methods for displaying file information will containE data for files specific to the conferences listed in this parameter. B Simply enter conference numbers separated by a comma (,) such as: 13,14,15,16,17,54,200,201,202; You may group a block of conferences together with a dash: 13-17,54,200-202= Both of the above examples would block the same conferences.G NOTE:  Files  must be SPECIFIC to the conferences listed in order  forG them to be purged.  If files exist in other conferences not listed  in( this parameter they will NOT be purged.█1                     Minimum Downloads to Qualify1                     ────────────────────────────G When generating a Top Download Profile (TOPDL) you may set the minimum@ number of downloads a file must have to qualify for the report.G If you have just started accumulating history with your PCBFX.DAT fileG it might be best to set this to a level that will not show information9 about files that have only been downloaded 1 or 2 times.G Files specific to the conferences in the "Conferences to always purge"G parameter will not be included in the Top Download Profile since  they* will not be listed in the PCBFX database.█
