|03This sub menu allows you to completely configure the specifics of the direct-
|03ory entry, on your BBS, of the listing file. For instance, you can edit the
|03file description to use, the number of file points it will cost to download it,

                        |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Quit Command |02]ÍÄ

|03The quit command will return you to the previous menu, or, if you're already
|03at the main menu, it will exit the program asking you whether or not to save
|03any possible changes that you made to your current configuration in memory.

|15Also|07: |03Escape does the exact same thing that "Q", but note that it will NOT

                |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Write Configuration Command |02]ÍÄ

/* BEGIN 1,1 */

                      |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on Main BBS Path Editor |02]ÍÄ

|03This option will allow you to edit the path to the main BBS directory. Typic-
|03ally, this is the location of your node 1 STATUS.DAT file. TNTFLIST must read
|03your STATUS.DAT file to determine the location of your FBOARDS.DAT file, and
|03to read other information such as the BBS name, that will be included in the
|03file listing.

/* END 1,1 */
/* BEGIN 1,2 */

                   |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Output Filename Editor |02]ÍÄ

|03This is the complete path and filename that your _text_ file list will be
|03created in. This doesn't really matter if you're planning on archiving the list
|03since it will be _moved_ into the archive by default. If you plan on having
|03TNTFLIST automatically upload the file in a file section on your BBS and you
|03do NOT plan on archiving the list at all, then have this point to the exact
|03path that it will be uploaded to.

|03For instance, if I am creating an uncompressed listing that will be uploaded
|03in a file section who's download directory is "C:\BBS\FILES\NEWU\" then I
|03would define the text output file as:

|11C:\BBS\FILES\NEWU\FILES.LST

/* END 1,2 */
/* BEGIN 1,3 */

                 |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Header File Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to define an optional ASCII text file that will be
|03included just before the file information within the listing. Define a complete
|03path and filename to the ASCII text file if you plan on using it. It can be of
|03unlimited length.

/* END 1,3 */
/* BEGIN 1,4 */

                 |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Footer File Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to define an optional ASCII text file that will be

/* END 1,4 */
/* BEGIN 1,5 */

            |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the OK File Listing Path/Filename Option |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to define a complete path and filename where an ASCII
|03text file of the included download directories will be written. The main use
|03for this is an "OK" or "FREQable" file listing path listing. There are two
|03formats -- FrontDoor/InterMail, and BinkleyTerm, the only difference between
|03the two being an additional "*.*" in the BinkleyTerm format.

/* END 1,5 */
/* BEGIN 1,6 */

                 |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the "OK" File List Type Option |02]ÍÄ

|03This option toggles between the FrontDoor/InterMail format of the OK file list,
|03and the BinkleyTerm format of the OK file list. Please note that you must have
|03an OK file list path/filename defined in order for it to allow you to do this.

|03available for the file listing. For more details, choose the option -- an
|03explaination of each format is displayed.

/* END 2,1 */
/* BEGIN 2,2 */

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the New File Indication Character |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to edit the character that will be placed just after all
|03of the "new" files to indicate that they are new. Typically, this character
|03would be "*", or a "û".

/* END 2,2 */
/* BEGIN 2,3 */

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on Offline File String Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to edit what will be used in place of "OFFLINE". For
|03instance, I use "-Offline-". This is just another small option that allows
|03more configurability of this program. It can be a maximum of nine characters,
|03and is caps sensitive.

/* END 2,3 */
/* BEGIN 2,4 */

         |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Number of Days for New Files Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to edit the number of days old a file can be until it is
|03not considered "new" any more. If a file is not considered "new", it will not
|03be included in "new files only" listings (obviously), and it will not have the
|03"new file character" next to it in complete listings (again, obviously).

/* END 2,4 */
/* BEGIN 2,5 */

                  |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the "New Files Only" Toggle |02]ÍÄ

|03in your listing. See the previous option for more details on "new" files and
|03"new file dates".

/* END 2,5 */
/* BEGIN 2,6 */

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the "Include Offline Files" Option |02]ÍÄ

|03With this option enabled, TNTFLIST will include offline files in the listing
|03and will put the Offline File String as the file size. It is entirely up to
|03you as to whether or not you want to include offline files in your listing!

/* END 2,6 */
/* BEGIN 2,Q */

/* END 2,Q */
/* BEGIN 3,1 */

             |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Path/Filename to Write Archive To |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to define the complete path and filename that the
|03archive of the text (output file from menu #1) listing will be compressed to.
|03The original file will be erased (unless you modified the default parameters).

|03Also, make sure that, if you're planning on having TNTFLIST automatically
|03update the *.DIR file for you, you write the archive into the download path of
|03the directory you're updating! For instance, if I wanted to update the NEWU
|03directory who's path is "C:\BBS\FILES\NEWU\", then I would define my archive
|03file name as the following:

|11C:\BBS\FILES\NEWU\FILES.ZIP

/* END 3,1 */
/* BEGIN 3,2 */

            |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the Configuration of Archive Parameters |02]ÍÄ

|03This option will allow you to edit the parameters that will be passed to your
|03archiving software upon compressing the text, file listing. The default para-
|03meters for PKZIP are "-m -ex" which move the file into the archive, and use
|03maximum compression. Please refer to your PKZIP/ARJ software documention files
|03and/or help screens for more details on the archive parameters.

/* END 3,2 */
/* BEGIN 3,3 */

                   |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on Archive Type Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03At the current time, TNTFLIST only supports PKZIP and ARJ. This option toggles
|03between the two, and you must have PKZIP.EXE or ARJ.EXE in your path when they
|03will be called.

/* END 3,3 */
/* BEGIN 3,4 */

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on Archive Comment File Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to include an optional ASCII text file in the archive
|03that is being created, and it will be displayed as the archive is being de-
|03compressed, to the user. TNTFLIST automatically handles the command line para-
|03meters the include it -- all you have to tell it is the filename to include.

/* END 3,4 */
/* BEGIN 3,5 */

                 |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the "Silent Execution" Feature |02]ÍÄ

|03If you do not want TNTFLIST to display executable information such as the
|03shell return code, DOS exit code, and exact command line of the Exec() function
|03that it's calling as it is running, then enable this option. I suggest enabling
|03this option once you know everything is working properly because the display
|03tends to appear a little gaudy especially if you have long pathnames.

                |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on Directory Filename Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option allows you to configure the full path and filename of the *.DIR
|03file that you want updated. By "updated", I mean that it will automatically
|03upload and update the information such as the file size of the listing file,
|03the date uploaded, the description that you want defined, etc. Please note that
|03you have to enter the FULL path and filename of the .DIR you want updated. If
|03the .DIR file does not exist, TNTFLIST will create it on-the-fly for you if it
|03can. If it can't, it will tell you and continue without updating the directory.

/* END 4,1 */
/* BEGIN 4,2 */

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the File Description Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option will allow you to completely configure the description that will be

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the File Point Cost Configuration |02]ÍÄ

|03This option will jump to the set of AR flags-required that will be included in
|03the file listing. "@" is a file area that does NOT require an AR flag. If you
|03want every file area to be included, you would enable all flags including "@".
|03If you want ONLY file areas that DO NOT require an AR flag, then you would only
|03enable the "@" flag in the editor.

/* END 5,3 */
/* BEGIN 5,4 */

               |02ÄÍ[ |10Help on the "Include CD-ROM Areas" Option |02]ÍÄ
