BBS2HTML V. 1.3
Just Released

Denis Kaganovich just released BBS2HTML index file converter Version 1.3 and the archive (bbs2html13.zip, 43,6K) was uploaded on Hobbes. BBS2HTML V. 1.3 is FILES.BBS to INDEX.HTM converter. DOS, OS/2, sources (PASCAL).


- First I create it program for internal use and don't make advanced error
check. But many peoples EMail me about using it utility and I fix some
bugs and start to add some features - said Kaganovich.

Warning!!! After v1.3 BBS2HTML configuring via BBS2HTML.CFG.

This utility convert index files into HTML format. Algotithm of scanning
directories are next:
1) Searching descriptions, all descripted files adding to index.
2) If description file contain "*" line - status LISTALL are ON (work
for all child subdirectories also).
3) If no descriptions with status MASTER and no LISTALL - scanning all
subdirectories (step 1). Directories, contains at least one
descripted object adding to index.
4) If no objects added to index - index no creating.

Index may contain external links in format:
<link>:[<URL> [<comments>]]

File names, <link> and <URL> may be in double quotes, for example:
"long file name.txt".

Long names supported in source, but if port (compilation) not support
it (now - DOS target) - long names not used (but external links - may be
long).

Command line: BBS2HTML <root_dir> <root_html_dir> [<config_file>].
Default config file is BBS2HTML.CFG.
