   I still do that with my Synchronet BBS, I just use a jsexec script I wrote to   
   isolate it down to only file bases that actually exist in synchronet to keep   
   things clear and precise, and only directories with files.bbs in them. ;)

   Hmm, yeah, OS/2 wouldn't be much help here. My BBS, and my HUB, both run Linux,   
   CentOS 7 to be specific. :)
