5 LIBRARIES
Enter choice ! 1 <==== Choose BROWSE
Enter libraries (e.g. 1,2,4 or ALL) <==== * New Prompt *
or <CR> for current library:
Enter keywords (e.g. modem) <==== Same as previous
or <CR> for all: version
Oldest files in days <==== Same as previous
or <CR> for all: version
Note the new "Libraries" prompt. You have two options here. You can simply
press a carriage return (<CR>) to select from files in the current library.
This works the same way as the BROWSE selection worked in the previous
Library version. Or, at this prompt, you may type in numbers corresponding
to the specific libraries that you wish to browse.
Each library number should be separated by a comma or a space, as in "1,3,5,"
to browse files in libraries 1, 3, and 5. Only files in the libraries you
enter will be browsed. For example, if you are in Library 2, and enter a "4"
at the new prompt, only files in library 4 will be displayed.
At the prompt, you may also use the hyphen ("-") to specify ranges of
libraries, as in "1-6," to indicate that you want to browse files in
libraries 1 through 6.
You can mix and match the approaches, as in "1,3,7-11," to browse libraries
1, 3, and 7 through 11. If you want to examine the files in all libraries
at once, you can type the word "ALL."
A New Format for File Displays
The second thing a Menu Mode user will notice is the new format for the
File displays. The displays have been re-arranged, and are easier to read
and to understand. In addition, the Library number is included in the
display when you're searching for files in libraries other than your
"current" library. See the examples at the end of this document for more
details about these changes.
"P" Means "Previous;" "B" Means "Back"
While BROWSING, a "Disposition" prompt displays after each file. Pressing
<CR> at this prompt takes you to the next file. If you press <CR> too many
times, or want to move back to a previous file, you can now do so.
Enter a "P" and press <CR> to back up one file. You may also use "B" for
"Back," if you wish. It works exactly the same as "P."
CHANGES FOR COMMAND MODE USERS
==============================
The "LIB:" Command
For "Command Mode" users, several new commands and options have been added.
All commands in the previous version continue to work, and you still enter the
libraries in the same way.
The most important addition is the "LIB:" option. This command can be used in
conjunction with almost every existing command (DIR, BROWSE, DOWNLOAD, etc.)
to designate a library or libraries.
For example:
DIR LIB:4
will display a directory of all files in library 4, newest first. You can be
as specific as you want. More examples:
COMMANDS RESULT
DIR A*.* LIB:1-5 - Directory of all files starting with the letter "A"
in libraries 1 through 5, in alphabetical order.
DIR KEY:GAME LIB:ALL - Directory of all files with a keyword of "GAME" in
all libraries the user has access to, newest first.
DIR *.TXT LIB:1,5,7-9 - Directory of all files with the "TXT" extension
in Libraries 1, 5, and 7 through 9, in alphabetical
order.
DIR AGE:30 LIB:ALL - Directory of all files uploaded in the last 30 days
in all libraries, newest first.
Two New Commands: LIST and COUNT
Two new commands, LIST and COUNT, have been added as well. Here are
specifics:
LIST - This command is simply a short cut for a "DIR SHORT". It
will always give the one-line-per-file "short" listing,
regardless of your "Library Options" setting. It has the
