SYNOPSIS
std2ext - convert standard FILES.BBS to extended format
PURPOSE
Tight utility to convert plain FILES.BBS (filename, descriptions
and optional download counters) into the extended format that is
required by some systems (i.e. for ProBoard CD-ROM file areas).
std2ext adds the date and size for all files which are in the FILES.BBS
listing. To do that, it needs to know the directory to process which
is specified on the command line.
EXAMPLE
std2ext <files.bbs> <directory> <output>
files.bbs
The path to the FILES.BBS file to convert. Note that this
file will not be modified by the program.
directory
The directory which contains the files listed in the FILES.BBS
file. This is where std2ext looks for the files to extract
their dates and sizes.
output
This is the path where the resulting new FILES.BBS is stored.
If a file of this name exists, it is overwritten. Note that
the original listing is not modified during the process.
