                                  Overview
                                  --------

This is designed to take a command line parameter of a dos directory
containing NEW files you wish to locally upload into the Feathernet
DIRxx files.  The actual files will be moved into the corresponding
DOS directory for the DIRxx file as specified in the configuration and
the DIR.LST (type) file.

If desired,  you can choose to move a file to any directory path listed in
a DLPATH.LST file.

        LOCALUP allow you to view any non-binary file.  You may also view
the contents of a ZIP, ARJ, LHA or arc file (pkunpak only).  Self
extracting archives are also supported as archive type is determined by
signature, not file extension.

        LOCALUP will insert the contents of FILE_ID.DIZ file into your
directory listing, bypassing the need for you to manually edit a file
listing.

        LOCALUP allows 20 description lines per file (46 characters max per
line).

        Each file is processed immediately upon the description being
entered or the FILE_ID.DIZ file description used by pressing the INS key.

  1. The following programs need to be in your system's PATH.
     PKUNZIP.EXE
     ARJ.EXE
     LHA.EXE
     PKUNPAK.EXE

  2. If any of these programs are not in the PATH, archive viewing and
     FILE_ID.DIZ operations are disabled for the affected archive format.

  3. Archive contents VIEWING is internal for ZIP, ARC and LHA archives.
     This does not include extracting the FILE_ID.DIZ file or reading files
     within an archive.


Operation
---------

Usage is: 'LOCALUP [drive/path of files to 'upload'] [DIR.LST Control File'
Example: LOCALUP C:\Tmpfiles DIR.LST DLPATH.LST <DIZ> <PCB)

Where:
 "C:\Tmpfiles" is a DOS directory with some files stored in it which you want
 to add descriptions to the bbs DIRxx files and make available for downloading

 "DIR.LST" is the name of the Directory Listing FIle you wish to use for
 selecting the appropriate DIRxx files and DOS directories.

 "DLPATH.LST" is the name of the Download Paths Listing File you wish to
 use to provide additional paths to move files into.

 "DIZ" causes LOCALUP to check for a FILE_ID.DIZ description file within an
 archive.  If present, you will be prompted to press 'INS' to insert the
 FILE_ID.DIZ file and add process the file.

 "PCB" causes LOCALUP to use the pcboard DLPATH.LST file format.  If using
 pcboard bbs, you *must* add the "PCB" parameter.

 FeatherNet uses a "fixed length" DLPATH.LST file which includes the
 required security level to D/L files from the specified path.

 All parameters above except "DIZ" and "PCB" are mandatory.


Features
--------
o Actual DOS Directory a file will be moved to and free space remaining is
  displayed when selecting a directory category for a file.  Keep in mind
  even though the assigned dos directory for a file is at minimum space
  remaining, you may choose any DLPATH.LST directory (if configured) for
  the file to be moved into.

o You may select the DIRxx file for a description to go into and also
  choose to send the file to be uploaded locally to one of the
  DLPATH.LST file directories (if configured).

o Press LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to skip to the previous/next file.

o Code has been added to verify that the destination file does not exist.

o Code has been added to verify that a file is not being 'copied' onto
  itself.

o FILE_ID.DIZ supported.

o Viewing archives and reading text files within archives supported.

o Displaying (reading) of any (non binary) file supported.
