ATTENTION: This program is designed for keen BBS warez traders only!


ARE YOU TIRED READING THROUGH ALL THE BBS NEW FILELISTS LOOKING FOR 
FILES THAT YOU CAN USE FOR UPLOADS?

ARE YOU FRUSTRATED WHEN YOU HAVE TO NOTE DOWN EVERY SINGLE FILENAME
CAN BE YOUR POSSIBLE WAREZ UPLOADS?
                Ŀ
                 HERE COMES THE SOLUTION: WAREZ MANAGER! 
                
FOREWORD:
        THIS UTILITY IS CURRENTLY DESIGNED TO WORK WITH 4 BBSES:
        ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, DEADLINE, UNTOUCHABLES, MACHU PICCHU
        IT CAN COMPARE THE NEW FILE LISTS OF THE 4 BOARDS, GENERATING
        A REPORT WITH FILES THAT ARE ONLY PRESENT IN 1 OF THE 4 BBSES
        , HELPING WAREZ TRADERS LIKE US TO SAVE A LOT OF TIME WHICH 
        WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEEDED TO READ THROUGH ALL THE FILE LISTS,
        AND TO COMPARE WHAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FOR UPLOADS. WITH THE 
        REPORT GENERATED BY THIS PROGRAM, YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY DOWNLOAD 
        THOSE FILES LISTED FOR UPLOADING!

How to use:
1.      Use your communication software to capture the file lists of the
        4 BBSES (Arrested Development, Deadline, Untouchables, Machu Picchu)
        using names of your choice without any extensions.
        e.g. ARRESTED, DEADLINE, UNTOUCH, MACHU

2.      Use WAREZMAN.EXE
        option 1 allows you to choose which BBS to include in the comparison
        process.
                Pressing 1-4 will select/deselect the 4 BBSes
                Pressing 5 will return you to the main menu
                Pressing C will allow you to change the names of the captured 
                        filelists, the 4 names are predefined to be ARRESTED,
                        DEADLINE, UNTOUCH, MACHU
                                Press 1-4 to change the corresponding filename
                                Press 5 to return to the previous menu
                Pressing U will allow you to change the number of days new
                        setting for UNTOUCHABLES files (since UNTOUCHABLES is
                        using Renegade, no file dates can be analyzed.) The
                        predefined value is 0 days (UNTOUCHABLES is fast!)

        option 2 allows you to specify file selection criteria.
                Press 1 to change the minimum file size (in Ks) you want 
                to specify as the report outputs. The predefined value is
                1024K.
                Press 2 to change the setting for number of days new for
                report outputs. The predefined value is 2 days.
                
        option 3 generates the report.
                Press S to output the report to the screen.
                Press P to output the report to the printer.
                Press F to output the report to a file named WAREZMAN.REP
                In addition to the report, files with extension .OUT will
                be generated out containing just the important information
                of the filelists.

        option 4 quits the program.

Together with the programs are 4 sample captured new filelists of the 4
supported BBSes, TRY THEM WITH WAREZ MANAGER!
