 SA> I'll help you with that in the tg echo. As to the
 SA> FAQ...I wrote that so long ago its a funny memory to still
 SA> think of. BTW check out faq.doc and fa2fb.ref it might gleam
 SA> some light on things.


 DS> I will check the two files above and see what I can come up with. I
 DS> still  use TG file lister Version 140. Which makes the allfiles list,
 DS> and HTML  files for each file area. I use the HTML files on my Web
 DS> Site. I need to  figure out how to write a script to send these files
 DS> to the internet each  night. I could do it with my first TransX event
 DS> after midnight...

        I use Katt's file lister and he did a new version for me
        to fix something a few years ago.  Aa to the files you
        could just use a batch files to copy the files to
        some holding dir and then have your irex/TX event
        upload them on a regular basis. 

 DS> Can you give me a clue on what I need to do? I have been using the old
 DS> TG utility Files2Telegard. Works fine even tho I need to convert the
 DS> file bases back and forth.... LOL
 SA> By now you should only convert if your using old utils
 SA> or file listing programs for example that use the old *.fb
 SA> method. If not I'd convert completely to .fa. Then you can
 SA> not have to worry about files.bbs and all that. We can move
 SA> this to the TG echo. I'll get some screen captures...


 DS> I may have a glitch in my AllFix setup. I think its making files.bbs
 DS> files  yet. I may need to hatch out a file and see if it does. I
 DS> thought I had it  setup to import the file into TG on its own. Had to
 DS> much going on to  remember my setup. I run to may computers and can't
 DS> directly access the  BBS machine like I want to via my network. Still
 DS> working on that...LOL

        I never liked the files.bbs file myself.

 SA> That huge FAQ covers the old method before *FA so it
 SA> won't help though it WILL help in some areas as to importing
 SA> like setting up the file bases in allfix and such.

 DS> Thanks, I will head over to the BBS machine and finish reading the
 DS> mail  from their. Its easier for me to save messages when I'm on the
 DS> BBS  machine. I sometime logon via modem to make sure all is running
 DS> like it  should be.... :)

        I know how that is :)  I reply on my main programming
        machine and then upload to the bbs when ready.
