E MSLCAT.SCR -- A TAPCIS script to capture catalog listings
E from the Microsoft Software Library.
;
; This script gets a catalog listing from the Microsoft Software
; Library, capturing it as a TAPCIS-style CAT file that can be
; browsed offline by either TAPCIS or the Windows-hosted program
; CATCIS. The name of the file it creates is MSL.CAT. If MSL.CAT
; already exists, the material captured by this script will be
; appended to it.
;
; MSLCAT.SCR should be placed in the directory where the TAPCIS
; program resides. It can be invoked by pressing <PgUp> while in
; interactive mode and typing MSLCAT in response to the "Filename
; for your computer:" prompt. MSLCAT.SCR can also be copied to the
; filename FRONTEND.SCR and executed by logging on with the <Alt-N>
; command from the TAPCIS main menu.
;
; There are two values you may wish to edit: the keyword list
; (MSLCAT.SCR defaults to "all") and the age of the listed files
; (the initial default is 365 days). These items are underscored
; with *****'s. Comments are enlosed in []'s.
;
; You can also have this script log off from Compuserve when it's
; done by removing the semicolon (";") from the beginning of the
; last line.
;
; If you wish to browse MSL.CAT with TAPCIS, you need to create a
; fake forum named MSL. For what it's worth, I usually tell TAPCIS
; that MSL is a Q forum, not that it really matters. Just don't try
; to "join" MSL!
;
; CATCIS needs no special arrangements. Just open MSL.CAT and
; browse through the catalog like you normally would. CATCIS may
; warn you that there is no corresponding "section" file when you
; first open MSL.CAT, but all the browsing and searching functions
; will work OK. If you have a recent version of CATCIS -- release 1.3
; or later -- CATCIS gives you the option of writing an "MSL Format"
; download script. If you check this option, CATCIS will produce a
; script with the default name of MSL.SCR in your TAPCIS directory
; (usually C:\TAP). When you run this script, the files you chose
; will be downloaded to the directory you specified as your "Download
; file path" under TAPCIS.
;
; If you don't have CATCIS, you can download the files you have chosen
; with Loren Jenkin's MSL.SCR script, available in the "Scripts and
; Tools" library section on the TAPCIS forum.
