CDROMDIR (c)1992 Paul Williams, CRIMP BBS 1:2410/116@fidonet.org
Totally freeware, and worth every cent!
Not much to this program. It takes a FILES.BBS format file, and converts it
to TAG's .DIR file format.
Parameters are:
CDROMDIR <CD Dir> <Desc File> <DIR to create> <Desc Position> <Uploader>
<CD Dir> The path to the CD Directory, with the trailing backslash
Example: U:\ANIMAL1\
<Desc File> Path to the file containing the filenames and descriptions for
the given CD Dir. Usually FILES.BBS. Lots of access on this
file, so it's best to copy it to the hard disk or a ram drive.
Example: E:\FILES.BBS
<DIR to create> The path to the T.A.G. .DIR file which is to be created.
It will be rewritten if it exists! It must have the .DIR
extention.
Example: D:\BBS\GFILES\ANIMAL1.DIR
<Desc Position> In the <Desc File>, this is the starting column for the actual
file description. Not all are the same. Column 34 is a
psuedo-standard though. But count them!
Example: 34
<Uploader> The name that will be placed in the .DIR file as the one who
uploaded the file.
Example: Screenware
No promises that this works on all CD's ... But it can help on some of them!
Included is a batch file showing the use in creating all the .DIRS for the
So-Much-Screenware CD.
