I made a new mod that allows a user to search for files in an inter-bbs way.
The mod includes a client and server script. The client-script has a TUI that
prompts the user to enter a search query and then send this query to the
appropriate _DAT echoarea ex. FSX_DAT.

The server-script, will scan the in-bound message base area ex. FSX_DAT, parse
the queries it finds, make the search into the file bases of a BBS and then
send the results via Netmail, personally to the user made the initial query.

The report sent back, contains the filenames and descriptions of the files
match the result and also the name of the BBS. This way the user knows where
to find a file and connect to that BBS.

With this mod, all file bases of all BBSes are connected and create a unique
file storage, that the user can search.

You will find the mod at Another Droid BBS as xq-ibfs.zip and also at all
FSXNet, SCINet, DoreNet affiliate BBSes as they hatch the file.

I hope that you will like this project and integrate it to your BBS. As always
any help can be provided via this echoarea or at my email (xqtr#gmx.com).
