Apply-Diz v3.0 * Will scan for any file spec
in any directory and check for a FILE_ID.DIZ
or DESC.SDI file within an archive.  If one
exists it can be placed into the PCBoard DIR
file.  If no DIZ, and there's a PCBoard DIR
file entry, that listing can be turned into a
FILE_ID.DIZ and compressed into the archive.
Great for boards with lots of file traffic!
Fixed a few minor bugs.  Now excepting Credit
Cards and providing Voice Support.

*** Rep2Zip V 1.2 By Eddy Salvador ***
.TIC files "Replaces" command converter.
Rep2Zip will scan all of your .TIC files
and replace the file extension of the
"Replaces" command to .ZIP, .ARJ, .ARC
or .* , Etc.  Rep2Zip solves the dilemma
of having your file base in one particular
compression format and not being able to
take advantage of the replace command in 
the .TIC file because the file extension
to replace is not the same one you are 
using. Cheap to register!
