INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SMILEY worked great! It helped TICK bring files to Spitfire. But
SMILEY is no longer being worked on, and there are some things that
should have been added. GRIN is the step after SMILEY. Along with
fixing file sizes and descriptions, it will import FILE_ID.DIZ from ZIP,
ARJ, and LZH files, and use your TICK configuration file to get its
information.
Summary of Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Adds commas to file sizes
- Splits long descriptions
- Imports FILE_ID.DIZ
- Extracts from ZIP, ARJ, LZH files
- gets all SFFILES.BBS paths from your TIC.CFG file
- Supports Spitfire 3.5 extended file descriptions

INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install GRIN, do this:
1. Put the GRIN files somewhere. I have put them in the same directory
as TICK to make batch processing easier.
2. Add GRIN to your TIC processing batch file just after TICK runs. To
run GRIN add:
GRIN /T<path to TICK config file> /F
Explaination
~~~~~~~~~~~~
/T<path to TICK config file> This is the path and filename of
your TICK configuration file. Example: C:\TICK\TIC.CFG
/F This will add FILE_ID.DIZ to any new files that it finds.
Inorder for this to work you will need PKUNZIP.EXE,
ARJ.EXE, and LHA.EXE in your path.
3. That's it!! Aren't you glad? Just two steps!
