----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick descrip:

	The ListTool is used when you have a mess of FTP sites you want to get organized!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
	To use it, just run the listDOS.exe.  Here is a descrip of 
the different choices:  (type listDOS ? for help on usage and choices)
	If the filename is .txt, you can leave the extension off.

1. Sort plain text file.

	Use for any ftp lists...those obtained from the IRC...Anything
	cut n' pasted off the web...even raw html format files!

2. Sort plain text file and remove sites that need login & pwd.

	Same as 1, but removes sites that need login & pwd for use
	with batch file creation or cut n' paste...See below.

3. Sort plain text and make into a WS_FTP.ini file.

	Same as 1, but creates an INI file to use with WS FTP.  
	This file can also be imported into CuteFTP...

4. Sort and convert list to a batch file.

	Same as 2 but converts to a batch.  See below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

	The second part of the program is to convert it to a batch 
file.  This is designed to work with the ftpp.bat program I wrote 
which in turn uses NcFTP, which is the handiest little ftp program 
for Win95.  It works from the command line and is very Unixish.  You 
can get a hold of it at www.windows95.com.  You can edit ftpp.bat to 
use your favorite command line FTP client if you like.  It will create 
a file called list.bat which, when run, will call ftpp.bat with each 
of the sites in your list!  Handy dandy!  So now you can run through an
entire site list with just two little double clicks!!

	That's it for now!  New News!-----------------------

1-13-97 : Fixed line length bug.  Concentrating more on ListWin.  If anyone wants more
          from ListDos, be sure to email me.

12-21-96: Borrowed much functionality from ListWin...Can handle WSFTP
          passwords now, and the batch option works different.

12-11-96: Boy, I'm busy today!  Fixed (another!) bug in the sorting
          algorithm.

12-8-96 : Fixed a few more little things and found a slight bug.

12-7-96 : Fixed minor bug in the sort algorithm.

11-28-96: What, working on Turkey day?  Yep...fixed bug in the batch
          file creation.  

11-23-96: Completely re-coded!  Can now auto detect difference between
          sites taken from a www site and regular sitelists.  More 
	  stuff added and taken away to make it easier to use.	

9-29-96 : Created the ListLine and added icons to ListTool

9-23-96 : Added choices 6 and 7, see above

9-21-96 : Fixed small bug in choice 5 :)

9-21-96 : Added a choice 5 to just convert file to a batch, changed
          codeing around a bit more.

9-20-96 : Added error checking for bad filenames, cleaned up the code
          a bit, and made the default extension .txt.

9-18-96 : The choice 1 plain sort now works with login and passwords
          almost perfectly!  

9-14-96 : The plain sort (choice 1) does not handle login and 
          passwords well yet...It will get the site, but not the l 
          and p.  It will soon! :)

	This program is Freeware!  Feel free to distribute it.
 
	Not much else!  If you want me to notify you of future 
revisions, tell me of bugs, tell me it all sucks, whatever, just 
send me some mail!
