<H1>mball - Allfiles listing generator</H1>
<P>
<H3>Synopsis.</H3>
<P>
<code><strong>mball</strong> [commands] &lt;options&gt;</code>
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<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.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Environment.</H3>
<P>
In order to run <strong>mball</strong> you need to set the global variable
<strong>$MBSE_ROOT</strong>. This variable must point to the root of the bbs
directory structure. The main configuration file <strong>config.data</strong>
must be present in the ~/etc directory.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Commands.</H3>
<P>
<code><strong>mball index</strong></code> - Create 00index and HTTP files in all download directories.<br>
<code><strong>mball list</strong> </code> - Create allfiles.txt and newfiles.txt files.
<p>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Options.</H3>
