Running FLISTTDH.EXE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run FLISTTDH.EXE type FLISTTDH at the commans line.
NOTE:- If, when you check your file listings, some of the descriptions do not
match the file names then use the command line FLISTTDH/COMPRESS
This runs RAFILE COMPRESS on the file descriptions before the filelists
are compiled. This is only normally needed if the file description file
has somehow become corrupted. Running /COMPRESS creates a file in the
FLISTTDH directory called COMP.FIL. This lists the RA areas that
RAFILE COMPRESS will work with. This may be edited using a text editor
if needed. For more details on RAFILE COMPRESS please see your
RemoteAccess Doc file.
What do I get if I register?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you register your copy of FLISTTDH.EXE you will have the pause at the
beginning and end of the program removed. The ability to archive files
and to copy files will also be enabled.
