- ; CONVERT field-definition file for the SimTel archive listing.
- ; Get this from ftp.coast.net, subdirectory SimTel/filedocs,
- ; filename simindex.zip
- ; You can restrict the listing to certain records by using
- ; Cell Filters (e.g. N 6 FileDate || > 951001).
- C 7 Directory (always SimTel/)
- C 15 Subdirectory

- ; Personally, I use a modified version of the above to find the
- ; new files and present them in an easy to read format:
- ; C 7 0 0 Directory
- ; C 15 Subdirectory
- ; C 12 Filename
- ; N 1 0 0 Version
- ; N 7 Filesize
- ; N 1 0 0 Filetype
- ; N 6 Filedate (yymmdd) || >= 951101
- ; C 46 File description
- ; I don't care about the Directory, Version, and Filetype so I drop
- ; those on output. I also specify a filter on filedate to only give
- ; the newer files. Then I invoke CONVERT with this:
- ; CONVERT SIMIBM.IDX /INDEF=SIMIBM.DEF /TO FIXED /GAP=2 /OVERWRITE
