  You are permitted to use the  package  for a 20  day evaluation period.
  You must register if you continue using it.

  The  package is  supplied  'AS IS'.  It is  up to you  to determine its
  usability.

  You may ONLY redistribute a 100% UNALTERED copy of the complete package
  through  BBSes etc. as long as you make no money from doing this. Every
  time you run one of those programs, the program checks the authenticity
  of the files (only in the evaluation version).

  You may not alter, reverse  engineer, decompile, etc. the program(s) or
  part of them in any way.

A. DOCUMENTATION
================

  This  program is a shareware  program that  converts files from various
  file-description formats to file-description files in the PC-Board file
  format.

  The  input file  can be  almost any  description  file,  as long  as it
  contains a filename  and a description,  and optionally a file date and
  size.  The filename, date, size and start of the description have to be
  on one line.

  The output file is always a correct PCB file.

  The registered  version also  creates the DIR.LST  and DLPATH.LST files
  automaticly. This considerable speeds up the process of adding a new CD
  to your BBS.
  Use:
    CD-2-PCB CDPath CDMask PCBPath PCBBase [Nn,Sn,Dn,En,C,Os,H,Fn,Z,Gs,P]

    CDPath
      Highest directory to look for CDMask.
      The program search in this directory and all of  its subdirectories
      for filenames matching the CDMask.

    CDMask
      Mask of files that should be converted.
      This can be a filename (no path),  or any valid  MS-DOS-description
      (with wildcards).

    PCBPath
      Place where  all  the  created  files  should  come,  including the
      DIR.LST and DLPATH.LST files.

    PCBBase
      Base (part of a filename) that every file should contain.
      Every file that this program creates  begins with those characters.
      The  only thing this  program  does to name the files it creates is
      adding a subsequent number to this name.

    Nn
      The filenames start on place n.
      Position of the first character of the filename.
      Default: n1

    Sn
      The sizes start on place n.
      Position  of the first  character of the size.  This is usually one
      more than the last  character of the filename, as  the program does
      not mind leading spaces.
      Default(if used): s14

    Dn
      The dates start on place n
      This  must be the  first position  of a  date of  8 characters long
      Default(if used): d24

    En
      The descriptions start on place n
      This must be the place of the first character of the description.
      This is best  not a space, because this  would return in the target
      name as an extra space.
      Default: e34

    Please put the parameters Nn, Sn, Dn and En in the same order as they
    are  found in the file.  If your files have no size and/or date,  you
    have to  ommit the parameters.  This program searches  the CD for the
    the file's size and date.  If the  files can't be found,  the program
    uses a zero size and the system date as date.

    C
      If 'c' is used,  the program  puts trough  comments  (of the entire
      file).  You can use this option to avoid the program putting trough
      comments, like general file descriptions or headings.
      Default: No 'c'

    O
      Sets the options for creating the DIR.LST and DLPATH.LST.
        od : Create dir.lst
        op : Create dlpath.lst
        os : Sorts the dir.lst file on descriptions
      You can  combine several o - options,  for example,  'odp' means to
      create both dlpath.lst and dir.lst
      Default: No 'o'

    H
      If 'h' is used,  the program writes shorter headers in the PCBFile,
      i.e. only the titles of the columns.
      Default: No 'h'
      This option is only available in the registered version.

    F
      Sets the date format, this format is used when no dates are written
      in the original file.
        fe: European format, dd/mm/yy
        fa: American format, mm/dd/yy
        fj: Asian format,    dd/mm/yy
      Default: fe

    Z
      If 'z' is used,  the program adds a clear screen instruction at the
      top of the PCBFiles.
      Default: No 'c'

    G
      If 'g' is used,the program looks for the size and date of the files
      on the CD-ROM,  if to start of size or date is given on the command
      line.
      If 'g' is used,  followed by a string, the program uses this string
      as a path to look in first before seeking the entire CD. After that
      it looks in the  directory of the  dirfile the file is standing is,
      and  if even that fails,  it searches the entire  CD for the zipped
      file.
      Default: No 'g'

    P
      If 'p' is used,  the program waits about one  second on every error
      message.
      Default: No 'p'


  Examples:
  1.Your CD-drive is E:

    You want to convert from a file format where:
      the name        starts on position  1
      the size        starts on position  14
      the date        starts on position  24
      the description starts on position  34

    You want only the files in subdirectories E:\GAMES and lower.
    All the original files are named FILES.BBS.
    You want the converted files to  stand in D:\BBS\CD_1,  and  you want
    them all to begin with DIR.
    You want dir.lst and dlpath.lst to be created,  and dir.lst sorted on
    the descriptions.

   n:\..>CD-2-PCB E:\GAMES FILES.BBS D:\BBS\CD_1\ DIR N1 S13 D24 E34 Odps

   This creates:
      D:\BBS\CD_1\DIR.LST
      D:\BBS\CD_1\DLPATH.LST
      D:\BBS\CD_1\DIR1
      D:\BBS\CD_1\DIR2
               .
               .
               .

  2.Your CD-drive is G:

    You want to convert from a file format where:
      the name        starts on position  1
      the description starts on position  14

    You want only the files in subdirectories G:\BBSLISTS and lower.
    All the original files are named FILES.LST.
    You want the converted files to stand in C:\ATC\CD_1, and you want
    them all to begin with CD_DIR. .
    You don't want dir.lst nor dlpath.lst.
    You want the American date format and short headers.

   n:\...>CD-2-PCB G:\BBSLISTS FILES.LST C:\ATC\CD_1\ CD_DIR. N1 E14 H FA

   This creates:
      C:\ATC\CD_1\CD_DIR.1
      C:\ATC\CD_1\CD_DIR.2
               .
               .
               .
