- BBIAB Convertor v1.1
- By David Woodall
- FREEWARE
-
- This application will convert the .db files from the BBS in a Box CD as well
- as other CDs to Hermes II v3.x data files. Once you create the data files
- all you need to do is create Hermes transfer directories with EXACTLY the
- same names and drop the data files in the Area folder where the corresponding
- directories are located.
-
- We have created hermes directories for you on this CD but here is info as
- to how it is done unless you want to create your own.
-
- 1. Launch BBIAB Convertor v1.1. (located in CD Setup:Hermes)
- 2. Click on "Add" and select a .db file you want to convert.
- 3. Repeat above until all .db files are selected.
- 4. Select "Convert".
- 5. Set the folder to hold the files that will be created.
- 6. Click the "Select" button to start the conversion.
- 7. Quit BBIAB Convertor v1.1.
- 8. Create new transfer directories in Hermes II v3.x.
- 9. Put the data files you just created inside the appropriate Area folder.
-
-
- Notes:
-
- The conversion will be faster if you move the .db files to your hard drive.
-
- If you do NOT want the .sit, .cpt, .sea suffixes on the filenames, click
- on the the appropriate box before converting the .db files.
-
- If you will be moving the actual files from the CD ROM to the appropriate
- Hermes II v3.x transfer folders, click on the "Strip CD ROM Pathname" box
- before converting the .db files. This will strip the "individual file
- pathname" from the .db files.
-
- You can rename the data files created to any name you want, so long as the Hermes directory name is exactly the same as the data file.
-
- You must set the filename length in Hermes to the same value as the BBIAB
- Convertor so the descriptions are the right length.
