    DM> What does "clear" do in this context?   
      
   Weird. I don't know. I think it's from terminal. It's not there when I ran the   
   program. I use clear to clear the screen after I run a program in terminal. So,   
   it's just something that was there when I copied and pasted.

   I just thought since I have a large hard drive, just put it there. All the   
   other   
   files are there. I guess I can move it there.    
   Quick question you aren't using actual cd? Correct? You just copy them into a    
   directory like /home/sbbs/cdrom/ ?   
      
    DM> And then within that directory, you'll have each CD's directory   
    DM> hierarchy:   
      
    DM> $ ll /cdrom/nopv13/   
    DM> total 344   
    DM> drwxr-xr-x 2 sbbs sbbs  4096 Mar 30  2021 001A   
    DM> drwxr-xr-x 2 sbbs sbbs  4096 Jan 28  2011 002A   
    DM> drwxr-xr-x 2 sbbs sbbs  4096 Feb 16  2005 003A   
    DM> ...   
      
   That's what I have in /home/sbbs/sbbs/data/dirs/nopv23   
      
    DM> And then each CD is best created as a *library* in SCFG->File Areas.   
    DM> You can import a directory list or scan the directory to create the   
    DM> directories within the library in SCFG.   
      
   I did that.  For some reason, it can't find the FILES.BBS when it's there plain   
   as day. So I just inputted them by directory.   
      
    DM> And *then* you can use 'addfiles -lib=' to import all the files   
    DM> and descriptions (either from file lists or DIZ) for each directory   
    DM> within that library (CD).   
      
   so I would do /home/sbbs/sbbs/exec/jsexec/addfiles -lib=nopv23 -diz?   
   or ----------------------------------------------> -lib=001A -diz?
