This version of DUMPIT is strictly for the OS/2 command line.  Thus
many features that are present in the PM version are not in the
command line version.  This version mainly attaches to a NNTP server
and starts to download the requested newsgroups.  The command line
format is:

    DUMPCMD DMP_FILE_NAME

where DMP_FILE_NAME is a DUMPIT file name that has been created by
the PM version (i.e. DUMPIT.EXE).  The first step to use the program
is to create a DMP file by defining what server, newsgroups, and 
file types that you want to download from.  I have made it to have
very low verbage to the screen but a log file is created just like
the PM version for any minor errors or warnings.  A file named
DATABASE.DAT is created during program execution.  This file has the 
same format as used in the PM version, thus, if the DUMPCMD program
is placed in the same directory as the DUMPIT program, then the same
file will be used.  THIS IS IMPORTANT.  If the same directory is used,
then only the command line OR PM version can be used at ONE time.  The
reason has to do with trying to write to the same file at the same time
(with my limited knowledge a big no-no).  You can though place as many
DUMPCMD copies that you want in individual directories and run them all
at the same time.  The only restriction would be the number of nodes that
your TCP/IP stack can handle.

I hope that this program will make downloading from the net easier and
better by freeing your time for other things (like talking to your wife).
