E MSLCAT.SCR -- A TAPCIS script to capture catalog listings
E from the Microsoft Software Library.
;
; This script gets a catalog listing from the Microsoft Software
; Library, capturing it as a TAPCIS-style CAT file that can be
; browsed offline by either TAPCIS or the Windows-hosted program
; CATCIS. The name of the file it creates is MSL.CAT. If MSL.CAT
; already exists, the material captured by this script will be
; appended to it.
;
; MSLCAT.SCR can be invoked by pressing <PgUp> while in interactive
; mode, or it can be copied to the filename FRONTEND.SCR and
; executed by logging on with the <Alt-N> command from the TAPCIS
; main menu.
;
; There are two values you may wish to edit: the keyword list
; (MSLCAT.SCR defaults to "all") and the age of the listed files
; (the initial default is 365 days). These items are underscored
; with *****'s. Comments are enlosed in []'s.
;
; If you wish to browse MSL.CAT with TAPCIS, you need to create a
; fake forum named MSL. For what it's worth, I usually tell TAPCIS
; that MSL is a Q forum, not that it really matters. Just don't try
; to "join" MSL!
;
; CATCIS needs no special arrangements. Just open MSL.CAT and
; browse through the catalog like you normally would. CATCIS may
; warn you that there is no corresponding "section" file when you
; first open MSL.CAT, but all the browsing and searching functions
; will work OK.
;
; Once you have chosen the files you wish to download, you can use
; Loren Jenkin's MSL.SCR script, available in the "Scripts and
; Tools" library section on the TAPCIS forum, to retrieve them.
