 What is SkyList ?

 Simply, SkyList is a powerful file lister, like MakeFList of TPT, but
 much more versatile and slightly faster.

 Command line parameters:


 Usage: SkyList [<switches>] <List Name> [<ALL>] [<area number(s)>]
                [-<area number(s) to skip>] [#<SIG number>]

 Summary of switches :

-z           Enable download counter
-v           Toggle on long file-descriptions (verbose mode)
-f           Toggle off areas banner
-a<x>        Toggle off: x=1 Area_x.TXT / x=2 Sig_x.TXT / x=3 Both
-w<width>    Width in chars of long file-descriptions (default 48)
-s<x>        Sort all files: x=1 by size / x=2 by date
-d<days>     List only files <days> old
-h<filename> Pathname of the header file
-b<buffer>   Buffer for I/O operations in bytes (default 40Kb)


 Well, I am not a DOC guy, so just some examples :

 1> SkyList dh0:list/Files.TXT 10 4 5

 List areas 10, 4 and 5 into file dh0:list/Files.TXT


 1> SkyList -z -v -s1 -a1 -hdh0:list/Magic.TXT ALL

 List ALL areas, print on the top of the list the file Magic.TXT, sort
 all files by size, enable download counter and use long descriptions
 and not display the Area_x.TXT files.


 1> SkyList -d15 t:Files.TXT ALL -20 -5 -2

 List ALL areas except areas 20, 5, 2 and only files uploaded since 15 days

 1> SkyList t:Files.TXT #3

 List areas in SIG number 3.


 If you have the files AREA_x.TXT in your DLGConfig:Text/ directory,
 SkyList will print them instead of the built in :

 **** File Area x, y ****
