Sent in by Vince Coen, 2:250/1 In a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. "The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us. Look at me... I'm me! I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood. What do you say to that?" The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looks over his glasses and replied, "How very sporting of your mother!" ******** Checkup Sent in by Mark Lewis, 1:3634/12 An 85-year-old man had to take a sperm count for his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a sample tomorrow." The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked, what happened and the man explained. "Well, doc, it's like this-first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arlene, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezing it between her knees, but still nothing." The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?" The old man replied, "Yep, none of us could get the jar open." FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 15 Page 3 April 13, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= Add Descriptions to a File Database (Linux) By Janis Kracht I've been asked a few times for an easy way to add file descriptions to a sysop's file database. Perhaps your drive crashed, or you are porting your system to Linux for the first time... There are certainly a number of reasons why this may become necessary :) Confronted with scads of directories full of files, your bbs may need the descriptions contained in the FILE_ID.DIZ file that included in most archives. This is one way to pull the FILE_ID.DIZ out of the archives and write them out to a file like descript.ion. This script does that, and posts the description of each file to a file named descript.txt. You can name then name descript.txt anything you like and edit it further if necessary. ==getdesc.sh== #!/bin/sh ls -1 *.zip > dirlist for f in `cat dirlist` do \unzip -pC $f file_id.diz \>> FILE_ID.DIZ if [ -f FILE_ID.DIZ ] ; then tr '\n\r' ' 'tmp.ff echo $f `cat tmp.ff` >> descript.txt rm -f FILE_ID.DIZ tmp.ff fi done ==end getdesc.sh== BBBS uses descript.ion in each file directory. The format for descript.ion is the filename, a space and then the file description all on one line. That's what the script above will give you. If your bbs needs a file named files.bbs with a multiple line description, you can pull the resulting descript.txt into an ASCII editor and force the line wrapping you need. Just set the margin to 45 and then use a macro in the editor to search for the end of line, and replace it with end of the line + 13 spaces. Your editor will also need to be capable of setting columns. I use the joe editor for things like that.

If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please contact me :) New! Mailing-List subscriptions via http://www.filegate.net/sub.html but of course you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick compatible program. Where to Send Your Articles Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :) Write an article! If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your article off at: Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-200-4076 Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 telnet mailer: filegate.net If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here. Send them instead direct to filegate.net. Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have one and send it along! Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though (something I'm typically guilty of (g)). To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis as above. Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug: To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to: drdebug @ filegate.net or post in the fidogazette echo! :) To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your listing to: bbslist @ filegate.net or post it in the fidogazette echo!
