A directory listing for each directory on the cdrom is in \bbs\sf. These listings are in spitfire format. In this directory is a batch file called "all.bat". You can use this batch file to create the same kind of bbs sffiles. listings that are in \bbs\sf, if you don't like the numbers I used for . Copy the batch file to your hard disc and edit it. Change the cdrom letter and where you want the spitfire index files to go. Then change the starting number by changing the '1' in the lines: %cdrom%\_bbs\each_dir 1 %cdrom%\_bbs\dirs.txt doit1 %cdrom%\_bbs\each_dir 1 %cdrom%\_bbs\dirs.txt doit to the number you want. Then the batch file will create index files starting with your number. -jack
