- A directory listing for each directory on the cdrom is in \_bbs\pcb.
- These listings are in pcboard format.
-
- In this directory is a batch file called "all.bat". This batch file calls
- 'dirlst.exe' which outputs the correct format for pcboard's 'dirs.lst' master
- index file. To use this, edit the "all.bat" file. You have to put the correct
- drive and path of the cdrom index file. This is in
-
- <drive letter>:\bbs\pcb
-
- (notice no trailing backslash).
-
- Notice that because I run this batch file to set up the cdrom, i don't have
- anything in the directory where i put my index files. The batch file erases
- everything in the directory you specify where it should put the index files.
- (Edit the batch file and delete the line "echo y | del *.*" from the batch file
- to get rid of this.)
-
- You can also edit the dirs.lst file with a binary editor like norton's
- utilities to change drive letters from the letter i used, 'm', to the drive
- letter of your cdrom.
-
- If you like, you can copy the file descriptions to another drive (such as a
- faster hard disk). You will need to update the dirs.lst to reflect this move.
-
- Make a backup first before you try editing dirs.lst this way. I'm NOT a
- pcboard sysop. Feedback is welcome.
