Hi All,

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what a proper "files.bbs"
should look like for feeding into VFileSyn?  I'm attempting to read in files
that are on my HDD (not a CDROM) and am scripting the construction of a
files.bbs.  I seem to be having issues with creating multi-line descriptions;
i.e. VFileSyn seems to only capture the first line.

I have tried quoting of the description; tabbing, spacing, and no spacing of
the extra lines.

The files.bbs example that I've been using (the VFileSyn package and part of
its file id):

VFSYN_22.ZIP VFileSyn v2.2 - VFileSyn will synchronize your
  file databases with your file directories.
  Written in Visual Basic for the Virtual
  Bulletin Board System.

Thanks,
Larry
