    From Shurato@911:1208/2 to All on Thu Nov 13 18:36:00 2025
    I could pay a little for this, but many sysops could use it. I'd like a
    win32 or dos16 bit program that I could pass a directory to that would load a files.bbs file and display with lightbars, the file names for downloading
    along with the description on the right. Tagging files would add them to a download list, they'd be viewable (downloads and viewing would be via
    external executables that I already have) and downloadable via batch. I
    don't think this would be too hard to implement, codefenix already has a sbbs version of this, but I'd like something that could be run on any win32 bbs or dos bbs running on a win32 os using nfu. I've got a mostly functional script for elebbs, but only got it mostly working for one page. It would need to be an executable to run on any win32/dos bbs.

    Skip the payment part as this looks nonsense considering my current understanding of complexity, but to be sure I understand what we're talking about, can you point me to the board where it's implemented already and screen shot so I know what to look after?

    ... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.

    Conchaos has this working under sbbs. conchaos.synchro.net.

    Thanks!

    Existing programs that don't work on my BBS that look nice are wareztag and filegate. Wareztag mostly works, but is pretty buggy... Filegate works locally, but not remotely. I can't get it to read the drop files or config files when using it remotely. filegate is almost perfect, but I think it requires real RA. Doesn't like EleBBS.
