What is RATOFLS?
================
Many programs such as my master file list generator, "FILES"
require a QuickBBS FLSEARCH.CTL file in order to operate.
FILES.RA or FLSEARCH.CTL simply tell your BBS package where
your file areas are located. Information such as the araes
title, security level, and path are stored in these files.
To many of us this is a very time consuming and tedious job
converting data from one file to the next, therefore I have
created RATOFLS. Originally RA2FLS by Jason Hersey.

does all the work.

To Execute RATOFLS
==================
To create a FLSEARCH.CTL file from the data contained within
your RemoteAccess FILES.RA file simply copy the RATOFLS
exexcutable file "RATOFLS.EXE" to your RA directory and run
the program by typing its filename at the DOS prompt. One
condition must be met however, that is, you must have your
RA enviromental variable set. This is done by typing the
following :
SET RA=[d:][path to RemoteAccess system directory]
In example :
SET RA=D:\RA\
Make sure that the RA is in uppercase as this may alter the
operation of some programs.
This is all that is required of you to create the
FLSEARCH.CTL file. You should run RATOFLS every time you
modify your FILES.RA file through the RACONFIG program.
