Hello All,   
      
   This is an example of the two scripts that create the FILE_ID.DIZ files for    
   the archives:   
      
   === Cut ===   
   #!/bin/sh   
   cd /opt/mbse/micronet/infopack   
   if [ -e "file_id.diz" ]; then   
     echo `rm file_id.diz`   
   fi   
   cat << EOF >> file_id.diz   
   Micronet Information Network Infopack for   
   `date "+%A, %B %e, %Y"` (day `date +%j`).   
   All the information you need to join   
   Micronet, an active and friendly BBS mail   
   network.  We offer FTN, QWK and NNTP   
   networking.  For more info, please read   
   this infopack, visit a participating   
   BBS, or visit our webpage for more info.

   EOF   
   unix2dos /opt/mbse/micronet/infopack/file_id.diz   
   === Cut ===   
      
   Notes:   
      
   That little trick with the "cat" command will output all of the lines until    
   the EOF tag to file_id.diz.  The second line of the FILE_ID.DIZ is translated    
   by the shell to something like "Thursday, June 18, 2015 (day 169)."   
      
   unix2dos converts a text file from using just CR (UNIX-style) line endings to    
   CRLF (DOS-style) line endings.
