That's pretty much what BBBBS does. It has an 'exclusion' list of
directories for the 'Fish & More' and 'Fred Fish On-line' CD's. Whatever
directories are in the exclusion list don't show up when the user wants to
get a directory of the CD. All he sees is what the Sysop wants him to see.
I've been able to get BBBBS running now. Don't know what I was doing wrong
before, but it seems to be doing OK. It has a few quirks, but seems to do
the job. I'll be interested in taking a look at BBX when it becomes
available. You don't need another beta tester do ya? <g>
