ULS (UpLoader Scanner) version 2.13 (c)1994 Scott W. Wilson
ULS is a MAXIMUS BBS add-on, which adds the uploader's name (and the

Where <path\filename> is the path and filename to the Maximus upload log.

default is 22 spaces)

Although written for Maximus, I'd be happy to try and adapt this program to
other BBS software. I will need a copy of an upload log, a FILES.BBS (or
whatever it is called on your system), and the numeric codes for displayable
colors (this program uses Maximus' defaults, not the standard ANSI colors).
