here is some
instructions for using indy's dbb2dat
i personaly am only a lilttle knowlagable on this(see my initial question) but this looks like a good tool
so any 1 out there whos out there ...........
there's more on the d/l page @morphia and in the file
(link below in sig)-multi


1. these programs must be run in command window
if you have little time again you can try this
open a command window
it should be in menu
start-programs-command window (or so - maybe it has that MSDOS symbol)
(unfortunately i have a german NT4.0 and dont know the english names)

then enter the drive and change the directory where Morpheus installed i.e.
c:
cd \programs\morpheus

there you type

dbb2dat
....then it prints some help or
dbb2dat "pattern"
... then it searches your dbb for entries with filenames containing pattern
... its case sensitive and the wildcard character is the dot "."
... it makes 2 files for each entry - a dat which is a startfile and a .txt ... which you can edit and which contains name, size and signature of the files
... Morpheus must be totally closed when you do that, because otherwise it locks
... the dbb files.

sig2dat
... works in a similar way - but it just asks you to enter name, size, signature
... manually (filename and size are not really important, only the sig counts)
or enter

sig2dat sig-file
... with sigfile the same format as the output of dbb2dat
... then it puts a startfile into you "My Shared Folder"
... you have to restart Morph afterwards
