        With this little utility you can convert Laho's bbslist.txt (ISO)
        to DreamTerm 1.4 phonebook.

        Some notes:

        - All other chars than numbers are stripped from number
        - Not very fast if you use large phonebook and/or droplist
          (It takes some time to compare number against hundreds of
          other numbers)

                        > INSERT STANDARD DISCLAIMER <

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        FILE

        bbslist name

        These are optional:

        CLONE

        Copy settings from this phonebook file. If you don't use this
        then all other options but name and phone will be in global state.
        Use 'save selected' in DreamTerm to create this file.

        DL

        Use droplist to check if you already have called this bbs and
        don't want to add it to phonebook. Currently you must use
        DT_config.dl file.

        OLDPB

        Use phonebook to check if you already have this bbs and
        don't want to add it to phonebook. Note that crypted pb's
        cannot be used!

        PB

        Phonebook to create, this will overwrite previous one so it
        is not very wise to use dt_config.pb. Use append to add
        created phonebook to normal one. If not defined then Laho.pb
        is used.

        KILL

        If you have fast modem you propably don't want to include
        22b etc. lines in your phonebook. Use this to enter string
        of id's which to exclude, always 3 chars: like 22bHST etc...
        32b user could use this "22 22b32 32/HST" to get rid of links
        under 14400 bps.

        RA=RANDOM

        Add some pseudo random chars to password. (1-255)

        PW=PASSWORD

        Because random chars are not truly random you can specify base
        string where random chars are added.

        If you use password creation you should be very careful with your
        phonebook, I recommend that you backup it frequently. Reason for
        this is the fact that you propably cannot remember random passwords
        and if some unknown bug in DreamTerm destroys default book you will
        be happier if you still have your passwords somewhere. (I think:-)

        I strongly suggest that you crypt phonebook also, it is far too easy
        for somebody to be you if he steals your phonebook.

                             --------------------

        Examples:

        Laho2Pb bbslist.txt DL dt_config.dl KILL "22 22b32 32/HST"

        - This will convert bbslist excluding every bbs which number(s)
          is found from droplist.

        Laho2Pb bbslist.txt
                CLONE    cool.pb
                DL       dt_config.dl
                OLDPB    dt_config.pb
                PB       shiny_new.pb
                KILL     "22 22b32 32/HST"
                RANDOM   6
                PASSWORD dt

        - Convert bbslist exluding bbs's which have same numbers as in
          phonebook or droplist and create random password of length 8
          for every entry.
