14.5 MAINTENANCE COMMANDS
AL Add a subboard to the current list of subboards. Note that it is
necessary that you NOT be “within” a subboard at the time you use this
command. You MUST either be at the BASE or UD BASE prompt, or just
have entered a subdirectory. You will only be prompted for a title --
what you’d like to call it. Note that ALL subboard titles must be
unique, regardless of whether they are members of subdirectories or not.
If you wish to edit any one of the many other subboard configuration
options, you must use the ‘EL’ command.

- THE MESSAGE AND FILE BASES -
AO Adopt orphan files. When you first configure your C-NET BBS, or
anytime after that point, you wish to add new files into the list of
items for a subboard, you may do so with this command, and the proper
privilege flag set. First, copy the file(s) into the subboards
directory, then select the command. After asking for a filename pattern
(press RETURN for all files), C-NET will prompt you with the files on the
directory (that aren’t already part of the subboard). It will then allow
you to select whether you’d like to add them.
V Validate a file. This command provides that last step for a subboard
on which you require validation. Once all of the requirements are met
for file validation, credits will be added to the uploader’s account.
MO n Move an item to another subboard.
KL n Kill subboard from list (you must specify which one). In order to
use this command, it is necessary that you not be “within” a subboard,
but rather at the BASE, UDBASE, or a subdirectory prompt. All files
contained within the subdirectory for this subboard will be erased,
including the subdirectory itself. If you wish to save any files, you
must copy them out first!
EL n Edit subboard (which subboard, defaults to the current subboard).
This command can be used to change many of the subboards options.
These include:
N The name of the subboard. C-NET will attempt to rename
subdirectory files if the location of the subboard is the
default UD BASE or BASE location.
L The location. If you change the location, you are responsible
for the creation of whatever subdirectories you specify.
See the AL command.
S Sub-operators. You may specify up to 5 sub-operators per
subboard, each having complete maintenance access for that
area. This includes unlimited u/d ratios, validating
files, providing descriptions for files, and killing
files.
B Board type. A subboard may be file transfer only (u/d’s),
