Description:
-----------
Dir2Fms takes a redirected DOS directory listing and converts it
to RBBS FMS format. Supports up to 200 files at a time. Also allows
usage of the Cellar Door Mods' Addtimes feature.

Usage:
-----
FIRST:
Make a file of the files you want to add to your BBS files listing
by the following means or something similiar:
DIR *.ZIP > FILES.LST

SECOND:

Run Dir2Fms:

Dir2Fms [Config File]

Where [Config File] is the name of the configuration file in the
following format: ( a sample is included )

The first line is the redirected DOS directory
The second line is the Output file
Third line is 1 to use today's date for files 0 to use original date
The fourth line is as follows:
1 for usage of the Addtimes Mod
0 for no usage of the Addtimes Mod
Fifth line: Default catagory code (UPL, etc..)
Sixth line: Description length

As such:

FILES.LST
OUTFILE.DAT
1
1
UPL
45


That's it. Easy as pie.

Note: Dir2Fms overwrites the output file if one exists, so DO NOT SPECIFY
your FMS directory as the OUTPUT DIRECTORY!!

-------------------- VERSION HISTORY OF THIS SOFTWARE ---------------------

History of Dir2Fms

Dir2Fms V .01
(DIR2FMS1.ZIP)
First Release of Dir2Fms
Possible "hang up" bug with OS/2, not duplicated running
under DOS. The bug is non terminal and non-damaging.
QUITE limited in features.
NOTE: So far the OS/2 bug is just that, a bug, a pain in the
butt, just a pause around the 14th file, no more.
BTW, this program MAY only work well with DOS 6.x. Haven't
tried it with other versions! (DOS 6 has that new comma
delminated file size.)

In the works?:
Dir2Fms V 1.0
Full wildcard support instead of using the redirected DOS
directory. Support of RBBS-PC.def and the directory
definition files. HOPEFULLY that OS/2 bug fixed!
Whatever else I can pull out.
