An indication that an issue is owned. This is only used in private versions of Inducks.
Next is a detailed description of how to get the "owner" field to work.
It is very technical stuff. If you don't know anything about DIZNI, please
skip the rest of this page!
It basically works as follows:
1. A private DIZNI user creates a file owner.dbx containing
the issues he owns.
2. He runs DIZNI with an extra option so it will add the owner information
to Inducks.
3. DIZNI will determine the "owner" of every issue, and also of every story.
4. DIZNI adds an "owned"-marker in the standard output files.
5. DIZNI can make listings of owned or non-owned stories.
6. DIZNI can make a listing of all owned issues.
Note that this feature is meant for private users (like myself).
The public Inducks files will not contain any "owner" information.
Next are the details for every step.
1. A private DIZNI user creates a file containing the issues he owns.
The file's name must be owner.dbx.
The syntax of the file is:
country ^ issuecode ^ owner
- the file has no header line.
- country = 2-char abbreviation.
- issuecode = as used in the DBI files on h3 lines. Double spaces can be removed (so no
need to count spaces!).
- owner = anything. DIZNI will just copy the information.
DIZNI only uses the fact whether or not the field is empty.
- the order of the lines in the file is not important.
2. He runs DIZNI with an extra option so it will add the owner information
to Inducks.
This is easily done by adding "-o" to the "dizni -xx" line in the batchfiles.
3. DIZNI will determine the "owner" of every issue, and also of every story.
So all INE and INS files will have an extra "owner" field (also for
headers!). The contents of the owner field is simply copied. If a story is
owned more than once, only one owner field is stored.
If an issue in "owner.dbx" can't be found in the Inducks database, DIZNI
will give a log message.
4. DIZNI adds an "owned"-marker in the standard output files.
In the standard output files, reprint information can have a #,
indicating that the specific reprint of the story is owned.
5. DIZNI can make listings of owned or non-owned stories.
6. DIZNI can make a listing of all owned issues.
