A directory listing for each directory on the cdrom is in \_bbs\pcb. These listings are in pcboard format. In this directory is a batch file called "all.bat". This batch file calls 'dirlst.exe' which outputs the correct format for pcboard's 'dir.lst' master index file. To use this, copy "all.bat" and "doit.bat" to a clean directory on your hard disc. Creat a subdirectory for the files it's going to create. This directory which will hold the new index files should be empty, because the batch file will delete the files in there as the first thing it does. Then edit the "all.bat" file. You have to put the correct drive and path of the cdrom index file. Now this is in :\_bbs\pcb (notice no trailing backslash). You also need to put in correct cdrom drive letter. You can also edit the dir.lst file with a binary editor like norton's utilities to change drive letters from the letter i used, 'm', to the drive letter of your cdrom. If you like, you copy the file descriptions to another drive (such as a faster hard disk). You will need to update the dir.lst to reflect this move. Make a backup first before you try editing dir.lst this way. I'm NOT a pcboard sysop. Feedback is welcome.
