CVTFMS Utility to Convert DIR to FMS This is a utility that will take standard PC-Board dir files and convert them to FMS format with few restrictions. This utility will also take DIR files with the dir format and a single line description to FMS format. If it is not in PC-Board Format it will not take multi-line descriptions in the file. PC-Board format: AIRSHOW.ZIP 1078271 04-07-93 A great animation of jet fighters with SYNC | sound. It supports sound blaster and the PC | speaker. It is good for 386 or 486 PC. A file which is in the format shown will work very well and convert to proper FMS format with the category code, and the description in reverse order with the "." at the position required by the length of the line you have stated. DIR format: AIRSHOW.ZIP 1078271 04-07-93 A great animation of jet fighters with ... A file which is in the standard DOS dir format with a single line description following it (all on the same line) up to 255 chars long will also work well in the same manner. This program will need some input from the user in the following manner: The length of the description (as stated in RBBS-PC.DEF) unless you are appending to an already existing FMS file. The number of extended description lines that are allowed (may be more than in RBBS-PC.DEF as RBBS will still show them properly) The name of the file you wish to process and category code for this file as you will have in your DIR.CAT. The name of the file you wish to create or append to. If this file exists you will be asked if you wish to append, over write, or start over. If you choose to append the program will get the length of the description from this file (make sure it is in FMS format or you will have erroneous description length). The program is recursive in that it will ask you if you have other files to process, and I used it for a CD that took me about 30 minutes to create the FMS once I had the categories decided for each directory.
