┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░ Purpose of this program ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This program will generate FILES.BBS style files from FILE_ID.DIZ files
inside files on your hostmode. It will also generate a filelist of all
your files.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░ Instruction ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Insert those fileareas you need to get created in HOSTMAN.CFG and follow
the instructions. You can also define the following files:
EXCLUDE.TXT Files to exclude from output
FILES.TOP File to insert at top of each FILES.BBS
FILES.FIL File to insert after header in FILES.BBS and filelist
FILES.END File to insert at bottom of each FILES.BBS
FILELIST.TOP File to insert at top of each filelist
FILELIST.END File to insert at bottom of each filelist
HOSTMAN will try and extract FILE_ID.DIZ in the following formats.
DWC, ZOO, ZIP , ARC, PAK, LZH, LHA, ARJ, SQZ, RAR, UC2

└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
A FILE_ID.DIZ file is a simple text file that is included in most archives
(.ZIP .RAR . ARJ etc.) to describe the file better than the filename.
You should always include such files with files you distribute yourself,
so other systems will show your full description and not just the filename
and "MISSING DESCRIPTION".
To generate a FILE_ID.DIZ take any text-editor like NOTEPAD in Windows
or QEDIT (Q.EXE) in DOS and create the description.
Follow these guidelines
1. The standard format for FILE_ID.DIZ is 10 lines or 40 character.
2. You can use more lines, but they will not always be shown.
