- A directory listing for each directory on the cdrom is in \_bbs\pcb. These
- listings are in pcboard format.
-
- In this directory is a batch file called "all.bat". This batch file calls
- 'dirlst.exe' which outputs the correct format for pcboard's 'dir.lst' master
- index file. To use this, copy "all.bat" and "doit.bat" to a clean directory on
- your hard disc. Creat a subdirectory for the files it's going to create. This
- directory which will hold the new index files should be empty, because the
- batch file will delete the files in there as the first thing it does. Then
- edit the "all.bat" file. You have to put the correct drive and path of the
- cdrom index file. Now this is in
-
- <drive letter>:\_bbs\pcb
-
- (notice no trailing backslash). You also need to put in correct
- cdrom drive letter.
-
- <drive letter>
-
- You can also edit the dir.lst file with a binary editor like norton's utilities
- to change drive letters from the letter i used, 'm', to the drive letter of
- your cdrom.
-
- If you like, you copy the file descriptions to another drive (such as a faster
- hard disk). You will need to update the dir.lst to reflect this move.
-
- Make a backup first before you try editing dir.lst this way. I'm NOT a pcboard
- sysop. Feedback is welcome.
