- Phoenix, Arizona--May 1, 1991-- MacWizards releases new software utility to
- convert Second Sight BBS file descriptions to Telefinder “Get Info” format.
- This is the first utility on the market to interchange file section
- descriptions between Second Sight™ and Telefinder™ bulletin board systems.
-
- MacWizards will now provide “SS->TF Filer” to the Macintosh market. This
- utility was developed to automate Telefinder file description inputting from
- Second Sight™ file directories. “SS->TF Filer” was originally developed to
- automate Telefinder compatibility for MacWizards new “BBS in a BOX” CD.
- Telefinder™ descriptions were written to over 7,000 files on the CD with this
- utility.
-
- “SS->TF Filer” produces a resource file that is pasted into each download file
- listed in the Second Sight directory. This resource then allows Telefinder BBS
- users to view the description of the file by using the “Get Info” command.
- Based on the description users can then pass over the file or download it.
-
- “SS->TF Filer” has several purposes for the Macintosh BBS system operator:
-
- 1). “SS->TF Filer” may be utilized to automate the transfer of file sections
- from a Second Sight™ file section format to a Telefinder iconic BBS format
- produced by Spider Island of Irvine, CA.
-
- 2). “SS->TF Filer” may be used to copy file descriptions from updated Second
- Sight™ file sections and create Telefinder description resources automatically
- in a dual Second Sight™ and Telefinder shared BBS system as run by the Arizona
- Macintosh Users Group™. The utility has the ability to update the size
- information in the Second Sight™ directory after creating the Telefinder
- resource data and attaching it to the download file. In this way, the Second
- Sight directory can be used to automate Telefinder description creation and
- have its size information of the file be accurate.
-
- 3). “SS->TF Filer” allows Telefinder users to create iconic functioning
- description files from easy to use Second Sight Utilities such as Chriss
- Koch‘s TidE file editor. This process also allows Telefinder users the ability
- to create Master download database information about their files on-line and
- create text file descriptions from Second Sight directory tools such as FSP and
- others. The use of this multi-BBS platform tool is limited only by the Second
- Sight/Telefinder BBS system operators imagination.
-
- Future versions may also include the ability to convert from Telefinder file
- format to Second Sight directories should there be a demand for such a tool.
-
