ACFile's Build User Packet Help
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build Packet is a command which allows a user to create their own archive to
download. They will be able to extract a file from any archive and put it
into their own self-made packet. They can then download it instead of having
to download multiple packages just to get a few files you need. This is
especially useful if you just want to get the documentation for a program
or if you are missing a file you need and don't want to download the full
package.
The commands are as follows:
[A]dd Packet
This command allows you to extract a file from an archive and add it into
your archive. This is also available from the View Archive command.
First, ACFiles will prompt you for the archive to open. This is the archive
that you need a file extracted. It will display the first tagged file from
the area you are currently in. Hit Space and it will toggle to other
tagged lists.
ACFiles will then show a listing of the files inside the archive. You'll
see a prompt asking if you want to Type a Textfile or Add to UserPacket.
At this point you may view a textfile in the opened archive to see if you
want to add it in or not or you may select A to add a filename to your
own personal packet
Upon hitting A, ACFiles will prompt you for your personalized packet name
if you have not yet created one. Simply enter a filename.ext. ACFiles will
assume that if the extension is .ZIP it'll use ZIP to create the packet, and
so forth.
Next it'll prompt you for a filename to add. Enter in a filename that was
in the listing of the files in the opened archive. Wildcards are accepted.
You've now created your very own personal package. You may add as much as
needed up to a limit specified by the SysOp
[C]lear Packet
This command erases your packet and clears the name as if you had never
done the command. You may want to use this after you download your packet
so that you will be reset to ground 0.
[D]ownload Packet
This lets you download the packet. You may also download from any of the
other download commands.
[R]emove from Packet
This allows you to remove a file from your packet. It'll show a listing
of your archive and prompt you for a filename to delete.
[V]iew Packet
This is just like the normal View Archive command. It lets you view your
own archive.
