subject: EleBBS: FilesBase Import

* EleBBS Support List


All,

I am running into a bit of a challenge importing the existing filebase from 
the linux server into EleBBS/Win32.

Addrom-> Creates the directories, but every file area is named the template 
filearea number. Ie, if the filearea template is 2, then every filearea 
addrom creates is name 2.

Rom2RA-> Does a great job, except the file descriptions are redunant 
multiple descriptions for a single file & all files have the same desc). If 
the desc is imported from the files.bbs located on the FreeBSD server, it is 
not "DOSized"- no hard carriage returns. One solution is to run Unix2Dos, 
but at 448 file areas....

Short of tossing the files on the bbs machine and storing on the server, 
does anyone have other ideas?

phil
