Hi DM,
Sorry, I should've said Podcasts, which are basically RSS feeds with files
attached. I was thinking something that would download and parse the XML
file of the feed, stick the data into the file info then place the file
(generally MP3 ) into the file area. Some of the podcasts I listen to
don't keep but a few of the files available on their sites, so 'd like to
keep an archive on the BBS.
Thanks for the reply and the links -- I'll start checking them out!
Sam
