With this release, the first public gamma version of PB-Allf had seen the
light! But what exactly is PB-Allf? PB-Allf is a All/Newfiles creator for
ProBoard v2.x. But there is more! It optionally also creates an ANSI-statistic
and a FrontDoor Freqlist. This version of PB-Allf works absolutely 100% at my
system; however, I cannot assure you that it will work at your system.

PB-Allf features:

 Great looking All/Newfiles
 Includes downloadtime for every file
 Support for CD-Rom (enhanced FILES.BBS)
 Support for Header and Footer files for both All- and Newfiles
 Generate ANSI-statistics, also with ANSI-Header and ANSI-Footer
 Generate FrontDoor compatible Freqlist
 Great looking, easy to use, full-screen setup

There are a few restrictions, that you might take care of:

 With this version, only areanames up to 29 characters are supported! You
  might try longer areanames, but this will not work correctly.

The what-to-do list seems to be the following:

 Remove the hardcoded 'FileRequest Possible' and 'Free download' strings from
  the header
 Add more statistics to the All/Newfiles and ANSI-statistics
 Add group-information to the All/Newfiles
 Add country-specific dates (DD/MM/YY versus MM/DD/YY)
 Add automatic compression (any archive)
 Add automatic export to the BBS and update the FILES.BBS
 *ANYTHING YOU WANT*

I'm not sure if I should support areanames longer than 29 characters. If you
want me to, please notify me!

I urge you to send me information about your usage of PB-Allf. I'm looking for
beta-testers! Please contact me by netmail, if you want to become a betatester.

PB-Allf is a shareware program. This meens you'll have to register it after a
specific time, say 14 days. Registration removes the delay at the end. Please

The registration cost is 10 Dutch Guilders (about $5). After I've received
your money, a key will be put on hold for you (FidoNet only). If you don't
