FMSVIEW
This program is being provided to you by the sysop of the board that you have
downloaded this from. To start the program type "FMSVIEW". Shortly a menu
will appear of file categories to choose from. Using the cursor keys, select
one of the categories and press RETURN. FMSVIEW will start reading the master
directory file (MASTER.DIR). After it has finished, you will be allowed to
browse that file category, send that list to the printer or select another
category.
It is hoped that this program will make it easier for you to look thru the
list of files on a board before downloading instead of having to print out the
entire list and look at each one by one. I would appreciate your feedback. I
will add new features to this program as they are requested and as I have the
time. One feature that I would like to add is the ability to look at several
different boards file list by selecting the name of the board and proceeding
forward as you do now with FMSVIEW.
For those of you who are not RBBS sysops, FMS stands for File Management
System. It enables a sysop to be able to maintain only one file list instead
of several. This makes it easier to put new files on the board and reduce the
possibility of having duplicate listings.
For the latest version of this program and what will hopefully be a listing of
boards that support the use of this program, call Bluegrass RBBS at (606)-272-
0499.
