UFB2PCB - Conversion program to convert UltraBBS 2.x file directory
listings to PCBoard 14.x format.
This program is provided free of charge to any and all BBS system
operators to assist them in converting their systems from UltraBBS to
PCBoard bulletin board software. However, it is not public domain and this
program and documentation are Copyright (c) 1992 by Clark Development Co.,
Inc.
You may distribute this program freely, as long as the complete
distribution archive remains intact and no additional files (especially BBS
ads) are added to the archive.
To convert your UltraBBS file database to PCBoard format,
simply run UFB2PCB with the pathname of the UltraBBS file database you
wish to convert. For example, if you want to convert FILEBASE.DAT, you
would run the program like this:
UFB2PCB FILEBASE.DAT
Full pathnames are supported, so UFB2PCB S:\SYSTEM\LIST\FILEBASE.DAT
is also a legal command.
Please be patient; on large filebase files, this program will take
a while to run. Upon completion of processing, your UltraBBS filebase file
will be converted to a number of PCBoard directory files. These PCBoard
directories will have the same name as the ID code they were listed under
in UltraBBS, and will be located in the same subdirectory that you ran
the conversion from.
Up to 200 directories can be processed by this release of UFB2PCB;
if you have a larger number of categories on your UltraBBS system, or if
you have problems or questions about the conversion program, please contact
