File Index Builder (henceforth FileNdx) is a program that allows you to create your filelist, customizing everything in it! The only patch of text that can not be changed (but can be removed) is my copyright notice. As a result, you can even create HTML filelists with tables and links in them.
This has been achieved by specifying a template for every part of the resulting filelist, beginning from header and finishing with single file lines. Visit these links for more information about filelist layout and templates.
For those who doesn't want to bother himself with all those difficulties, there are three predefined template sets in this package: text, HTML and multi-file HTML.
Also FileNdx supports new files list, best files list (based on download counter from FILES.BBS), binary output, mailer/BBS log analyzing, automatic file describers, offline areas and more, and more...
Since FileNdx is written on Perl, it is equally usable under Windows, all variations of Unix systems, OS/2 (maybe) and even plain DOS on 386-based computers.
All configuration is read from FileNdx.cfg file in the same directory as the main module FileNdx.pl, unless other specified in command line. See example configuration files and configuration keywords.
