   Quickadd is a utility I needed to make uploading files off of CD-Rom
easier.  Michael Dreher's DLGUpload is nice, but the version I have doesn't
have NOCOPY enabled yet (.60).  So, I wrote Quickadd until something better
comes along.

   Quickadd simply takes the file you tell it, and uploads it to the area you
specify.  It does NOT copy the file, nor does it even check to see if it's in
a valid file path as far as DLG is concerned.  You need to specify the path
only so Quickadd can determine the filesize.

   Usage is: Quickadd filename area# [options] "Description"

   Valid options are:
          -u "Uploader Name" (Default is Quickadd)
          -f Free, flags the file as a free DL.

   Included in this archive is an Arexx script I also wrote (mind you not a
pretty one) that drives Quickadd in a "batch" mode.  I typically create a
list of files from the CD-Rom that I will be uploading (list >filelist
lformat = "    %s ") and edit that list, plugging in the area numbers, and
file descriptions as needed.  I then run this "batch" through qadd to upload
the files to the BBS.  It's ugly, I know, but it has worked very well for me,
and I believe in sharing these sorts of things with others.  If you like it,
great, if you don't, I won't lose any sleep over it.

   The format of the "batch" files for use with qadd is:

area filename description......
area filename description......
area filename description......
area filename description......

Note that the filename should NOT contain the full path.  The area must be
the DLG file area # not name, and the description need not be surrounded by
quotes (qadd adds them).  qadd will continue processing the list until it
reaches a blank description field, thus allowing you to work on the list a
little at a time, uploading as you go.

Enjoy!
