Line 6 is the maximum access level that you want to appear in the lists Line 7 is the number of file areas you want listed Line 8-Line xx are the name of the folder followed by a comma and then the minimum access level of the user you want to be able to read that file, after the second comma there is a description, This allows you to describe the types of programs you have in that particular section. Using a ! will make the program just use 'File section' then the Folder Name for the description. The line following is the FULL path and filename of a header file which you want appended to the top of the database entry Leaving this line blank will use the default fileFILEBASE.ALL The Line following the folder names is the full PATH of the database you want to construct WITHOUT a terminating \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |(all the following filenames must follow the constraints of maximum 8 | |letters for the name and max 3 for the extension (May sound obvious but| |you would be surprised at some of the Bug reports I get) | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Line (tavern.txt) is the name you want the FULL list to be named , if you leave this blank then FULL.TXT is used. The Following Line (latest.txt) is the name of the xx Days uploads list, leaving it blank will force Filebase to make the file xxDays.txt The line beneath the xx Days list name is the number of extra files not created by Filebase, that you want added to the database. There then follows 3 lines per each extra file. The filename (no Path) of a file that you want added to the database file. Followed by a line containing the access level for the extra file Then underneath that is the description to appear in the database. e.g. If you had 2 files that filebase did not create and you wanted them added to the database (an archived version of FULL.TXT and a file with information about the BBS in it say) you would use the following text minus the comments. 2 ; Number of extra files FULL.LZH ; Name of File 0 ; Access Level Archive Full list of files ; Description BBSINFO.TXT ; Name of File 0 ; Access Level Information about this BBS ; Description This can be used to add an archived full list of files into the database for example , you can add as many files to the database as you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The option 1 or 2 for Root1.txt or Root2.txt has the following differences Root1.txt This will make FILEBASE create a header file , after which the filenames will be the same as the download section names and the descriptions will be taken from the .INF file, Turbo will display the database entries after the header file. Root2.txt This will make the menu in one text file which will be displayed INSTEAD of the file entries . One thing you want to watch for when you use Root2 is that your file areas which are above normal user access level are put at the bottom of the database, otherwise Turbo will move the following file entries up one in the database when a normal user logs in and they might not get the file they requested when they enter the number of a database file.
