Hello Jonathan,

JP>What does it use, then ?  

Actually the 00GLOBAL.TXT file is in the correct format for PCBoard on
the Walnut Creek CD's but that cannot be said for other CD's.

Well, the point is that PCBoard wants a separate listing for each
directory on the CD that contains downloadable files.

Previously the "conversion" program was included on the CD as was also
listings in the various BBS formats. But not anymore.

I tried to make use of the previously included programs for the latest
CD I received but for some reason failed several attempts to create the
necessary files.

Reason: I am apparently a bad programmer.

Have a nice day,

Holger
