 This program will scan through a MailManager messagebase looking for file
announcement messages from any number of specified BBS's, file servers, FTP
sites, and the like.  The files listed in these messages will be added to a
specified filelist on your HD, one for each site involved.

==========================================================================


1) Requirements

 * Registered MailManager v1.2 (or Greater)
 * Arexx




2) Installation

 Firstly, the script and this documentation should be copied to the MM:
assignment.  The script to MM:rexx and the documentation to MM:docs

 If you anticipate using the script often, it is recommended that you add it to
MailManager's menu.  Details of this procedure are in the MailManager Guide.



3) Configuration

 To configure the script, load it into your favourite text editor.  The
following variables should be edited to suit your system.

 WindowSpec   :  A window size and shape description.

 BBSdb.COUNT  :  The number of BBS's you want GleanFiles to process file
                 announcements from.


 You should then create a list of BBS's whose file announcements you want to
process.  The X should be replaced with a number for each BBS, starting from 0. 
The example list of two BBS's already in the script should give you the
idea.


 BBSdb.X.Name     : The name of the BBS.

 BBSdb.X.Area     : The Area into which the BBS posts it's file announcements.

 BBSdb.X.listname : The Filename of the first BBS's filelist on your HD

 BBSdb.X.From     : The string found in the "From" field of each file
                    announcement message.  (One word only, using #? for space)

 BBSdb.X.To       : The string found in the "To" field of each file
                    announcement message.  (One word only, using #? for space)

 BBSdb.X.Subj     : The string found in the "Subj" field of each file
                    announcement message.  (One word only, using #? for space)


4) Usage

 Simply run your edited version of the script in the usual way.
