    Hi all!

    I was wondering if there would be any consideration to add FILES.BBS support for use as a file database type as well as the proprietary Ezy format file database? This would allow for other TIC and file processors to work with Ezy as well -- at least I would find this to be a very useful feature.

    Thoughts?

    I *think* it already does.

    Hi Robert,

    Oh SWEET! And just found out that AllFix is free now :)

    It may also support Ezycom directly. I was asked for the structures
    some time ago.
