[ dRUNkEN ] id3 to file_id.diz extractor v1.0

README (13/1/2001)

tHrEAz / dRUNkEN <threaz@damones.net>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Say what?:

	This software simply extracts mp3 file's id3 tag information to
	file_id.diz. The main purpose of the program is for bulletin board
	systems, as you might have noticed :) .. If you want different kind
	of output, just edit the source. In the future I might do a version
	with configurable outlook, but on the other hand maybe I don't.

	There are command line options. Just run without any arguments and
	read the usage information.


Building id3todiz:

	Just type "make".

	If you want to compile it manually, type:
	> gcc -Wall -o id3todiz id3todiz.c


Installing:

	> cp id3todiz /my/dd/dir/bin
	> chown bbsuser.bbsgroup /my/dd/dir/bin/id3todiz
	> chmod 755 /my/dd/dir/bin/id3todiz

	Put folloving lines to your Daydream's configuration file
        !ARCHIVERS.DAT part

	ARC_TYPE...... M
	ARC_PATTERN... *.MP3
	ARC_NAME...... MP3
	ARC_TEST...... -

	ARC_OFFLINE... N
	ARC_GETDATE... N

	Then just "ddcfg mydaydream.cfg" and start uploading mp3 files to
	your board.
