- It is possible to use the capture feature of a program like Flash
- to get a list of files off of GEnie and put them into Data Handler.
- This then allows you to find your favorite authors newest program,
- find the most downloaded program, search for any word in the
- list, or many other uses.
-
- While on GEnie, use the library option #2, Directory of files, or
- option #11, Directory of new files, and save in a capture buffer the
- list. Name it a .TXT file name.
-
- Run the program GECONVTR.PRG (compiled GFA) or use the source code
- GECONVTR.GFA with GFA 3.0. It will ask for the .TXT file that you
- captured. The program looks for the correct format of the Directory
- listing. All other text is ignored. It will then ask you if you
- want to save the records to a new .TXT file or append the records onto
- an existing .DB file. Make the option you want and the records will
- be saved.
-
- GE_MASTR.DB is a .DB file defined with the correct fields for the
- Genie Directories with no records in it. You can use this for
- appending records.
-
- GE_LIB2.DB is a data base of all the files in the library #2,
- UTILITIES, that have been uploaded in the past year.
-
- GE_LIB3.TXT is the captured .TXT file from GEnie library #3,
- LANGUAGES. Use this to try out the method of converting files.
-
- Hope you have fun. Let me hear from you.
