<H3>Description.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<strong>mball</strong> is the allfiles and newfiles listing generator that
|
|
can be made available on your bbs for your users to get a complete listing
|
|
of wat is available for download. When used with the <strong>-zip</strong>
|
|
option it can also produce complessed versions of these two listings. The
|
|
resulting files are created in the current directory. After the creation of
|
|
these files you can hatch them into your bbs with the programs <strong>
|
|
mbfido tic</strong> when you properly setup a .tic file area for this purpose
|
|
and create records for the hatch manager.
|
|
<P>
|
|
It can also create <strong>00index</strong> files in each download directory
|
|
for FTP users. Because this file starts with double zero it is most likely the
|
|
file at the top in each directory. At the same time HTTP pages are created in
|
|
the download directories of your filebase. These are named index.html,
|
|
index1.html and so on, there are as many as needed. The main index is created in the root
|
|
of your filebase. If you use the default setup then a user browsing at your bbs
|
|
can type <strong>http://yoursite.org/files/index.html</strong> to see the list
|
|
of fileareas.
|
|
