The field specifications for FilePath
Originally defiend by Mitnick/Pointless/Reflex - Jul 30 1994
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FilePather program uses a strict way of storing the diffrent data,
because this way it will be easy AND possible for other programs retrieving
it. The 'template' for the FilePath line looks like this:
BBS Inside Out Cateye/Insane 19:54 30-07-94
<Type><TAB><Name><TAB>[<TAB>][<Sysop>/]<Location><TAB>[<TAB>]<HH:MM DD-MM-YY>
+46-(0)346-58697|59245
<SPACE>+<Country code>-(<MAY be unneccesay digits>)<Areacode>-<1:st number>[|<2:nd number>][|N:th number]
Size_HD=300Mb Legend="As faster as better!"
[<SPACE><Custom_1:st>][<SPACE><Custom_2:nd>][<SPACE><Custom_N:th>]
An extra TAB will automagically be inserted after <Name> and <Location> if
the length is equal to or less than seven.
When parsing the line, be prepared for one, two or more TAB:s.
A whole example line:
BBS Inside Out Cateye/Insane 19:54 30-07-94 +46-(0)346-58697|59245 Size_HD=500Mb Legend="As faster as better!"
Explanation of the diffrent fields:
Name MAX nr of characters Decription
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type> 7 The type of the person/program that started
FilePather. ie. User,BBS,Trader,Board,Net or
Program (for a fileprocessor like DIZ-ED).
<name> 31 The name of the person/BBS/net/program etc
that started the fileprocessing. ie. Mitnick,
John Smith, Inside Out, FidoNet, InfoBahn :).
[<sysop>] 31 The sysops name if applicable.
<location> 31 Either the geographic location or the group.
<number(s)> xx Number to the Person/Board/Net. Should
look like this: +Country code-(Unneccesary
digits)Areacode-Number_1|Number_2|Number_n
ie. +46-(0)346-58697|59245 or 2:203/445.9
The plus sign is to sort them out from
netaddresses and the like. If there are no
number or you doesn't like to leave it out,
set it to '---'.
[<Custom>] xx This is an extension of the normal fields.
For example:
Size_of_HD=30Gb
Amount_of_RAM=56Mb
Processor=68060
ClockFrequency=66Mhz
Geographic_location="Säffle,Sweden"
Legend="As faster as better!"
These are placed last on the 'FilePath.lst'
line and are optional and totally up to you
to decide about. However should you try to
follow existing standards and not invent new
keywords if it already exists an appropriate
one. Strings that contains spaces MUST be placed
between double quotes (")!.
(xx=No max value)
The current version of FilePather will not truncate strings longer than the
max values stated here, but a future version might do.
If you want to read it from Arexx then remember that Arexx doesn't consider
the TABs to be spaces, so you can't 'word' out the fields. Sorry!
If Type is set to 'Program' then Name is the name of that program, SysOp is
the author, Number is the number to the author (data).
'ELAJT'ED TEXT IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED! All text in any field should be
typed in usual ascii-latin characters like those in this text and the
accompaning examples. A problem is if the file wanders off to another
platform, as PC, Mac, Unix or Nintendo. But we have to live with that.
A future version may contain an 'Elajt' stripper.
Standard Custom Keywords
------------------------
Do NOT put as many keywords as you can find on the FilePather line.
The main idea of FilePather was to keep the filesize down by removing adds.
Also, it would be fine if you could load it in to CED which have a current
column limitation of approximately 4000 characters...
All strings that contains spaces must be enclosed with doublequotes (").
n=Number
Name: Template: Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CoSysOp= CSO_1 | CSO_2 | CSO_N "Rainman/Dual Hex | John Smith | Tarzan"
Modem= MOD_1 | MOD_2 | MOD_N "28.8DS | 16.8DS" (see note 1)
Size_of_HD= n(Mb|Gb) 30Gb
Amount_of_RAM= n(Mb|Gb) 56Mb
Processor= PROCESSOR 68060
Clock_frequency= n(Mhz) 66Mhz
Geographic_location= TOWN,(STATE/COUNTRY) "Säffle,Sweden"
Legend= LEGEND "As faster as better!"
ComputerType= COMPUTERTYPE Amiga
OS= OPERATIVE SYSTEM "KickStart 4.0"
Distance_to_pizza= n(m|Km) 3Km
FidoNet= n_1 | n_2 | n_N "2:203/445.13 | 2:203/445.9"
AmigaNet= n_1 | n_2 | n_N 39:157/101.15
Nr_of_nodes= n 4 (For boards with ringdown)
Node= n 2 (The node the file was uploaded on)
NetName= NETNAME Fidonet (see note 2)
Message= MESSAGE "Contact me for module swapping"
Program_version= n 2.0 (see note 3)
Program_decription= DECRIPTION "FILE_ID editor" (see note 3)
Program_host= HOST "${FilePather/Name}" (see note 3)
CharSet= CHARSET "LATIN-1 2" (see note 4)
Uploaded_by= NAME "Bill Clinton" (set by BBS)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1:
This keyword decribes what kind of modems that are connected on the diffrent
nodes. ie 28.8DS, 16.8DS, V32bis, HST, Zyxel, ISDN etc. This is valuable
information for an user, who ofcourse want the highest possible connect
rate. Ofcourse are the decriptions in the same order as the phone numbers.
Note 2:
If the number specified in the 'number(s)' field is a net address, this
keyword should tell the name of that net.
Note 3:
These are for Type = 'Program' ie. a fileprocessor like DIZ-ED, an
AddStripper or likewise. Program_Host contains the name of the system/person
that used the program. This is normally the line above, but should be stated
here too to avoid mistakes.
Note 4:
For future use. If someone creates a FilePather for other systems, as PC,
Atari and Mac, then CharSet should reflect the character table in use.
The name has been taken from FidoNets Id field which might serve as a
inspiration source. (Yes, I know this keyword is a bit megalomaniac, but
you never know.)
