This version of the utility runs best if all the *.db files are
concatenated - it will first run through it and figure out how many
files, and more importantly, how many file sections, are needed.
Put into the same folder: the concatenated file, a new, empty folder
called 'CD ROM' and the utilty. Run it, and select the concatenated file.
When the utility is finished, a couple of files are generated. First,
there are the 'Section.Dir <number>' files inside the CD ROM directory.
Mansion sysops will need to copy this folder into their 'Mansion Data'
folder on their BBS hard disk.
Second, there's a file called 'Lib Header'. This file has information
on the 'Section.Dir <number>' files. In it, there are three numbers
and a pathname on each line. The first number is the number of the
'Section.Dir' file. The second number is the menu file number to load
when accessing that file area (and therefore, it is not filled in), the
third number is the sysop number owning the directory. It is preset to 1.
Next, there's a file called Mansion Menu's which contains lines that
are easily modified into actual menu lines for the sysop's menu structure.
Third, there's a log file which contains all the pathnames of files that
have names longer than 20 characters. These file cannot be used with Mansion 8.
The utility runs fastest when in the background, with it's window covered (even
partially).
