This archive contains BASIC programs to convert BBS text lists to mTelnet
and SyncTERM compatible directories.

The BASIC programs can be compiled or run under QBASIC.  Source and
compiled versions are included in this archive.

Note:   COMMO is a DOS communication program.  I found it useful to use the
        COMMO fon directory format as a commom format.

GETALL creates a COMMO compatible file, TEMP.FON, from TELF.TXT.

GETALL2 creates a COMMO compatible file, TEMP.FON, from SHORT.TXT.

GETFREE creates a COMMO compatible file of only the free telnet BBS sites
in TELF.TXT.

CTOMTEL converts TEMP.FON to an mTelnet compatible fon file, MTEL1.FON.
MTEL1 must be renamed MTEL.FON for mTelnet to recognize it. MTEL1.FON will
contain the first 200 entries from TEMP.FON.

CTOSYNC converts a user-named COMMO compatible file to a SyncTERM
compatible file, CTOSYNC.LST. This file must be renamed SYNCTERM.LST for
SyncTERM recognize it.

Note:   The program CTO.EXE can be used to convert an mTelnet MTEL.FON file
        to a COMMO compatible file.

MAKELST creates a SyncTERM compatible file, SYNCTRM.LST, from SHORT.TXT.
This file must be renamed SYNCTERM.LST for SyncTERM recognize it.


The input file TELF.TXT must be in the format of the old "TELFnnnn.TXT"
files.

The input file SHORT.TXT MUST be in the format of the "SHORT mmm nn.TXT"
files.

mTelnet has a limit of 200 entries in MTEL.FON.  I do not know what the
limit is for SyncTERM.
