Hmmm... yes, that's true.  The newer versions have a configuration option for 
description offset in order to line up the descriptions properly if you're 
using a download counter but 5.5 doesn't.  I have no problem with the 
location of the created files but, again, I'm using a much newer version.  On 
the ZIPping, just use a batch file to take care of it.  It shouldn't have 
changed your magic file unless you configured it to write one. ;)

Mine is, IMO.  In fact it's better and DownSort is much more configurable.  I 
only wish I could locate version 6.1 for you but it is elusive to say the 
least. If you can't get it working to your satisfaction, let me know and I'll 
send you another program, DIZList, (very fancy) that may fill the bill for 
you.  DIZList isn't BBS type dependent.  It'll work fine with Maximus, 
ough.
Anyone know where we could get DownSort V6.1 in the states or Canada?
