Introduction
	PDRoach imports the short and extended file description of files 
processed with Tick.  It's that simple.

Execution
	To run PDRoach use the following command:

	pdroach.exe [/NODELETE]

	PDRoach searches the current directory for a file named PDROACH.CFG .
I assume that you understand Tick and what it does.  Configure Tick to place 
the incoming files in the directory where your BBS expects them.  Do not alter 
the default format of the files.bbs file that Tick creates.  PDRoach imports 
the file into SL and adds the short description that is in the *.tic file.  
Then if the file is a ZIP file, it searches the ZIP file for either a 
FILE_ID.DIZ or a DESC.SDI.  If either of these are present, PDRoach imports 
the contents into the extended description.  PDRoach then deletes the 
files.bbs (or similar file) unless the /NODELETE option is used.  This may be
needed if you pass on the file echos to other BBSs.  PDRoach also creates a 
log file in the current directory.  It places all errors and other messages in 
the log.  Remember to check the log to see if everything went ok.

PDROACH.CFG
	This file will contain information about each of your file echo areas.
each line should contain three things: the file directory name, the files.bbs
(or other name) that Tick creates, and a subboard name to post file 
announcements (optional).  Here is an example of my PDROACH.CFG file:

SL_FDN          c:\tick\sl_fdn\files.bbs      ARRIVALS
SL_DIFF         c:\tick\sl_diff\files.bbs     *  
SL_LIST         c:\tick\sl_list\files.bbs     *

	If a * is present in the subboard field, PDRoach will not post an 
announcement.


HEADER.TXT and FOOTER.TXT
	If a subboard is specified, PDRoach will post a message announcing
the arrival of the file.  PDRoach searches the current directory for two text
files.  These are optional.  If HEADER.TXT exists, the contents will be
placed at the beginning of the message.  If FOOTER.TXT exists, the contents
will be placed at the end of the message.

Registration
	Although PDRoach is not crippled, registration is still required.  If
you like PDRoach and plan on using it, you must send $15 to the following 
address:

	Darrell Davis
	3781 Advantage Way Dr. #203
	Memphis, TN  38128

Other Info
    If you think that PDRoach is worth while, I appreciate a kind word in 
SL_SYSOP or SL_DOOR.  Because of PDRoach's simplicity, there was only a 
limited beta test.  Thanks to Simon Browning and Richard Lis for helping me
root out all of the bugs.

Address
	I would appreciate anybody that uses PDRoach to tell me what you
think about it.  I monitor SL_SYSOP and SL_DOOR so you can send me an echo
message.  My FIDO address is 1:123/60 and my SLNet address is 250:312/1561.
You can send me netmail at either of these addresses.  My BBS is The
Searchlight Cafe at (901)387-1731.  You can logon and send me mail.
Also you can FREQ a list of current PDome Software programs and utilities
with the keyword FILES.

Many Thanks
	Many thanks to Frank Larosa for producing the greatest BBS program.
Also thanks to Frank for releasing his SearchLight Programmer's Library
units that helped create this program.
