Trent,
I'm not too sure what you're asking. For a text editor I use TurboText. The
.LST files contain binary data.

Steve,
Sorry, I was not too clear. When you have a request for a particular type of
program, I have seen that the details from the .LST file (ie file name,
description, keywords etc – just like that displayed when the catalog is
displayed with Autopilot) is part of the reply. I was asking if there was a
particular editor that was used to do this.

As I said, I use either TurboText or AP's editor.
Ok, tnx Steve. Will give TurboText a look.

Trent –
I presume you are asking if there is a program or editor to convert the binary
*.LST file back into an human readable, ASCII file?
I think I have seen one (I have: "APscanLST"), but what I do is either
1) save a copy of the originally downloaded USRCAT file for reference,
and edit that in Turbotext, or
2) use PowerSnap to capture the information out of the "download window"

Jim,
I have tried to use PowerSnap to do the deed, but this is only good for the
descriptions, not the headers that are on the 'download window' (things like
download times, library number and name, file size and name, etc). Your second
suggestion would indeed work for those files found in the Amiga forums (as the
sysop's here put up regular updates), but I have found that in the other forums
the sysops are very lax in this service.
Thnx for the help tho.
