What is it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
       M-BatchFS is a tagged file list manager for DLG.  M-BatchFS allows users
to delete tagged files from their list by using numbers.

    o Uses the same key's to move pointer as M-Tag2
    o Doesn't delete the entries until the user exits


Setting up:
~~~~~~~~~~~
       To set up M-BatchFS, simply add a menu item to the files menu using
Overlay and all other defaults. Set to executable and call M-BatchFS thus:

  DLG:M-BatchFS

       Copy the help file into the appropriate directory. Installation is now
complete.


Calculating cps rates:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Characters per second rates are calculated differently for low speed
and high speed modems. For low speed modems this calculation is used:

   cps = baud x 0.095  ==> 2400 x 0.095 = 228 cps

for high speed modems:

   cps = baud x 0.109  ==> 9600 x 0.109 = 1046 cps


Possible problem:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       I have experienced a problem of users not being able to delete files
from their tagged list. I have tried to figure out what is up, but the cause
has escaped me.

       By using a library call I know that DLG finds the entry in the file,
but for some reason fails to delete it.


Program status:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       M-BatchFS is shareware. It is included in the M-Tag package. This
package also includes M-Batch, M-Tag, and M-TagFS. The package is available
for $20. See the M-TagFS package for details.
