FF CONFIGURATION OPTIONS DEFAULT DRIVE LIST The search for files named in the command tail defaults to those selected here. This default list is not used if a drive list is included on the command line. In addition, the default list of drives is also limited to those which are marked accessible in the Drive Vector in the Z33/34 extended System Environment module if it exists. This prevents FF from attempting to access non-existent or unauthorized drives. R) Number of files is returned in .... defines one of the user registers (0...9) in the ZCPR3 Environment. The number of files found in the current search is returned there for possible use in an Alias or Zex script. This function is turned off by entering 10, an illegal number. T) Terminator .... This is the character following a DU or DIR form in the list of files found. You may wish to use a distinctive character here to differentiate the list from a CPR prompt. V) View in Paging mode. This is a toggle. When yes, FF will paginate its display. When NO, scrolling is continuous. The invokation command line 'P' option temporarily selects the opposite state. Most users prefer the paging by default. W) Auto-wildcarding/Exact mode switch. This is a toggle. When YES is selected, the filename argument is treated as if '*' and '?' wildcard characters had been included. You don't have to include wildcards in the (partial) filename. When NO is selected, FF will only find files that EXACTly match the argument you provided. The 'E' command line option temporarily reverses the default mode. Here's how auto-wildcards work: You specify: FF searches for: AL AL*.* AL. AL*.* ZCPR33.C ZCPR33??.C?? .COM *.COM 0) Use BDOS login vector - Toggles between YES and NO. If YES, then the default list of drives for FF to search is restricted to those which are currently logged in AND within the Z3ENV MAX drive limit AND listed in the Extended Environment drive vector. If NO, then the BDOS login vector is not used. The result vector is ANDed with the Configured drive vector to produce a word whose set bits identify the drives to search. (Drives specified in the command tail replace the configured drive vector with one that reflects those drives.) Control word: example: PONMLKJI HGFEDCBA Configured drive vector 00010000 00001111 Max Drive from Env. 00011111 11111111 Vector from Extended Env. 00010000 11111111 Login vector from BDOS 00000000 00000011 (this option) In this example, FF will search drives A and B because those bits are set in all four control words. Drive C or D will be included in the search after they have been logged in by ZCPR or a program. If an extended environment vector is not available, it is ignored. 1) Use headers in the list of found files. This option toggles between YES and NO. When YES is selected, a single line showing the Disk number is inserted on the screen just above the list of files found on that drive. Some like this 'dressing up'. Others find that it just needlessly clutters the screen. In either case, the DU: and DIR:(if defined) for each file found are displayed in the list of files found. Try it both ways - it's easy to change to your liking! 2) Use NDR to control search - When toggled to YES, only named directories with NO PASSWORD are searched. When toggled to NO, all user areas up to MAXUSR from the Z3 Environment are searched. In either case, the drives to be searched are limited to those allowed by the logic of the previous screen. This option is WHEEL sensitive; it is only used when the wheel is reset (non-privileged user). When the WHEEL is SET (privileged user, like a BBS sysop) this option is ignored, and ALL user areas of the selected drives are searched. For a BBS, this option provides precise control of what the caller can find: only those files in the Named Directories shown in his current NDR. For private use, you can avoid accessing floppy drives (whose doors may be open) if none of the FD's have named directories. 3) WHEEL CONTROL - This option is only relevant if Named Directory Register (item 2) is YES. When WHEEL CONTROL is toggled to NO, then FF limits the search to named directories for both wheel and non-wheel users. When toggled to YES, then the named directory limitation applies only to the privilege group (wheel or non-wheel) selected by the next option. 4) NDR for wheel user - When toggled to YES, FF limits the search to Named Directories (non-passworded) for wheel users; non-wheels get MAXUSR from the environment as their limitation. When set to NO, NON-wheels are limited to a search of non-passworded named directories and wheel users are not limited by MAXUSR or named directories.
