This program will parse the files list that is downloaded from the Ashton-Tate BBS. All that is needed is that you download the FILES. (notice the "." at the end of the filename) from the main file library. This will give you a list of all files available on the BBS. This file needs to be named FILES.TXT and has to be in the directory with the Bbsadd.PRG file. There are also 2 databases (BBSFILES and BBSTEMP) that need to be present also. If you have any questions or problems, I can be reached on the A-T BBS by user-id MDEAN, or on Compuserve in the dBASE Forum, ID 27012,1002. Have Fun and Enjoy! Mike Dean
