<H3>Description.</H3>

<strong>mbfbgen</strong> is used to import filebase areas from CD-ROM. This
|
||
|
|
util works like <strong>fbgen</strong> which is known to RA users. It reads
|
||
|
|
the file <strong>files.bbs</strong> to get the filenames and descriptions
|
||
|
|
to build the filedatabase.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
To import a filebase you must setup the area with <strong>mbsetup</strong>.
|
||
|
|
If you are really importing from a CD that will stay mounted on your system
|
||
|
|
you must set <strong>CDrom</strong> to yes. If the files.bbs file is not in the
|
||
|
|
directory were the files are, but somewere else on the CD, you must fill in
|
||
|
|
the field <strong>Files.bbs</strong> in the edit file area screen.
|
||
|
|
If the files.bbs file is in the same directory together with the files, you may
|
||
|
|
leave that field blank.
|
||
|
|
It is handy to use a closed range of file areas.
|
||
|
|
Once you are ready with the setup start <strong>mbfbgen</strong>, enter the
|
||
|
|
start and end area numbers, the uploader name, and the import will start.
|
||
|
|
This can last quite long as from each file the 32 bits CRC is calculated
|
||
|
|
that will be stored in the filedatabase. When <strong>mbfbgen</strong> is
|
||
|
|
finished, run <strong>mbfile index</strong> to recreate the filerequest index
|
||
|
|
file.

|
In order to run <strong>fbgen</strong> you must set the global variable
|
||
|
|
<strong>$MBSE_ROOT</strong>. This variable must point to the root directory
|
||
|
|
of the bbs structure. The main configuration file <strong>config.data</strong>
|
||
|
|
must be present in the ~/etc directory.
