:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: WHAT IT DOES :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Simply: EBLIST creates a FILELIST.TXT file containing ALL your
files.
Exactly: EBLIST reads the GTDIR.BBS file for the areas. Then Reads
each of the paths FILES.BBS files and extracts all the
files and descriptions. It will extract Multi-Line
Descriptions as long as the second and following lines
have at least 1 space at the beginning of the line. The
output is sent to the file FILELIST.TXT. When the program
is finished, it closes up all the files and returns you
back to the original directory. EBLIST will also create
OFFLINE and ONLINE File listings, as well as ZIP them up
and put them in the directory and use the archive type of
your choice.
