                     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.
