╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
PARSEIT is a very easy program to install. Just copy the PARSEIT.EXE
file to a subdirectory which you have made exclusively for it. When
first run it will create the necessary data files for itself.
That's all there is to installing Parseit. There is no setup program
needed.

Parseit is an excellent tool for down-sizing many large bbs files listings
to manageable size. Some of the benefits are configurable HIT & EXCLUSION
lists. Fast operation compared to similar programs, and the ability to
note the source of the files.
An additional use is to narrow your hits list and produce lists beroken
down into files of a particular group.
If you have topics that are of interest to you you can get small lists
that match your particular interests.
Running Parseit is pure simplicity. Get your latest list from your
favorite bbs system, and fire up parseit. Once you are in, then edit
your hits and exclusions lists. Remember, it is looking for exact
string matches, but is not case sensitive. If you want the .GIF files
to be hits then add .GIF to your Hit List. If you want to exclude those
files with the .GIF extension, then add .GIF to your exclusions list.
Likewise, if you do not want to select any file with a word in the
description, then add that word to the exclusions list and vice-versa.
The rest of the program is simple to operate, and on-line help is
available.
Should you need assistance, you can log onto the CyberSystems BBS
system @ (301) 662-8948 and post a message in the Pereira Support
Conference. We are a v.32bis system and are Fidonet 1:109/713.0
