With DOS 5 and up, you can make IFLs easily by doing a DIR command such as "dir name*.tga /o:n /l /b > nametgas.ifl". Voila! That's all that's needed unless you want to have some of them appear for more than one frame (in which case you would use DOS EDIT or some other editor to edit the file — if you want each file to appear for two frames, you can do a simple Find ".tga" and Change All to ".tga 2", for instance). Translation: "Give me a DIRectory listing with mask NAME*.TGA, sorted in /Order by Name, listed in /Lower case with just the /Bare filename.ext info (no file size or last-modifed date and time info), one file per line, and >redirect the result to NAMETGAS.IFL." If you want to make an IFL out of several series of .TGAs (or other file types), do this: dir grpa*.tga /o:n /l /b > group-a.ifl dir bgrp*.tga /o:n /l /b > b-group.ifl copy group-a.ifl + b-group.ifl final.ifl On the COPY command, you can leave off the last filename and just let it append "b-group.ifl" to the end of "group-a.ifl" if you want.
