That's the problem, it doesn't.

As long as the Walnut Creek CD's were BBS-ready, they contained
conversion programs to convert the listings to almost any and all
different BBS formats.

When I received the first non-BBS-ready CD from there I tried to use
the programs that had been on the previous records but to no avail.

Maybe they were programmed to be dependent on files on the CD and hence
didn't work outside that environment.

Have a nice day,

Holger
