    This program is a companion utility to help interface UpCheck with
    TriBBS a little more closely.  It will convert your FILES.LST file
    to the correct binary mode as wanted by TriBBS, but in addition it
    will remove the duplicate file entry that TriBBS creates, and take
    any additional information from the description entered by the user
    if a FILE_ID.DIZ did not exist in the archive.

    Usage: UPTRIBBS <full_path_and_filename>
       or: UPTRIBBS <pathname>

    You can run this in your BETWEEN.BAT file to reset your uploads
    directory after the user logs off, or after each upload if you
    prefer..

    For example:

      UPTRIBBS C:\FILES\UPLOADS

    Also, if you wanted to run it after each file uploaded, you can
    also run it with something like:

      UPTRIBBS C:\FILES\UPLOADS\THEGAME.ZIP

    And it will correctly update the file listing for the Uploads
    directory also.  You should make sure that you have your file
    setttings correctly set in UpSetup before using this program,
    as it requires to know whether you are using a matchup file
    or straight processing.

    This program has one limitation, and that is that it will not
    remove any duplicate entries after about 5000 file entries,
    so if you have more than 5000 files in your uploads directory,
    you might have to sort them out before using this program.. :)
