Overview
--------

This is designed to take a command line parameter of a dos directory
containing NEW files you wish to locally upload into the Feathernet
DIRxx files with the actual files being moved into the corresponding
DOS directory for the DIRxx file as specified in the configuration and
the 'dirdata' file.

Operation
---------

Usage is: 'LOCALUP [drive/path] [DIR Control File'
Example: LOCALUP C:\Tmpfiles DIRDATA

Where:
 "C:\Tmpfiles" is a DOS directory with some files stored in it which you want
 to add descriptions to the bbs DIRxx files and make available for downloading

 "DIRDATA" is the name of the Dir Control FIle you wish to use for selecting
 the appropriate DIRxx files and DOS directories.


Features
--------
o Actual DOS Directory a file will be moved to and free space remaining is
  displayed when selecting a directory category for a file.  Keep in mind
  even though the assigned dos directory for a file is at minimum space
  remaining, you may choose an alternate directory for the file to be moved
  to.

o You may select the DIRxx file for a description to go to and also
  choose to send the file to be uploaded locally to one of the
  alternate file directories.

o Press 'ESC' to skip to the next file in the ring

o Code has been added to verify that the destination file does not exist

o Code has been added to verify that a file is not being 'copied' onto itself

o Source code available for a nominal fee.  Write to below address

 History
 -------

 February 1991 - Version 1.2 Released
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 July 15, 1991 - Version 2.0 released.

 Added support to require a DIR Control File name to be entered on the startup
 command line along with the DOS directory name the files are stored in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 July 16, 1991 - Version 2.1 Released

 Fixed a bug that was causing all dirxx names to be 'DIR' plus the target DIRxx
 file #.  Localup was not reading the proper DIRxx name from the DIR Control
 File.
