BEW2LST
-------

Public domain material.

This program converts Qmodem's "BEW" upload file listing into a normal
file list for use with the HS/Link protocol.

Usage:
bew2lst FILE.LST

Here is an example HS-D.BAT file using BEW2LST:

HS-D.BAT
--------

REM DOWNLOAD HS/LINK WITH QMODEM 4.5
REM USE ALT-6 TO PREPARE UPLOAD LIST FOR BIDIRECTIONAL TRANSFERS

IF EXIST QMODEM.BEW GOTO USEBEW
HSLINK -E%3 -P%2 -UC:\QMODEM\DOWNLOAD
GOTO EXIT

:USEBEW
BEW2LST FILE.LST
HSLINK -E%3 -P%2 -UC:\QMODEM\DOWNLOAD @FILE.LST
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO EXIT
DEL QMODEM.BEW

:EXIT

Once this batch is installed, you can use ALT-6 to enter the Batch Entry
Window (BEW) where you specify files to be uploaded. Then next time you
do an hs/link download, the files listed in BEW will automatically be
bidirectionally uploaded.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
