- DREP214 CD-ROM/BBS directory formatting system
-
-
- Type INSTALL from the directory you un-packed this archive from to put
- DREP on your system.
-
- DREP (for Directory REPlace) is a complete directory formatting system
- for BBS operators, SYSOPS, and archival file managers. The system is
- especially well suited to handle the somewhat arduous task of importing
- CD-ROM directory information into several BBS software formats.
-
- DREP is configureable "on-the-fly", has full mouse support, menus,
- on-line help, allows for selective removal of headers, and may be fully
- implemented as a batch procesess if so desired. Full-screen editing is
- also supported and may be called at any time from the DREP environment.
-
- DREP is geared to the professional user, the SYSOP that must maintain
- and manage commercial BBS systems, who must have complete control of
- every process at all times, no configuration file is required, all
- settings can be toggled on a "per-session" basis at any time.
-
- DREP automates the process, allowing you to bring new listings into
- your system in minutes, stripping headers, removing un-wanted characters,
- concatinating lines, justifying size and date stamps, and allowing you
- to manually "touch up" files if so desired, all from within a fully
- integrated, mouse driven (if desired), environment. DREP also allows you
- to accomplish all these things as a batch process - this is convenient
- when several CD-ROMS from one manufacturer are being imported into the
- system and no further configuration is required on a CD by CD basis.
-
- Type: INSTALL from the directory you un-packed this archive from then
- go to the \DREP directory and type: DREP. Now, try formatting the
- "sample.cd" file to see how DREP works...
