╔F YOU DON'T USE A NAME WITH THE ╧╨┼╬-COMMAND,E.G.4,8,4,"P,W",THE FILE-NAME IN THE DIRECTORY APPEARS AS A COLON.╘RYING TO SCRATCH THESE FILES,IS NOT THAT EASY.YOU COULD TRY: ╧╨┼╬ 1,8,15,"S:,".╘HE PROBLEM IS,THE ╙├╥┴╘├╚-COMMAND
DOESN'T LIKE COLONS.
╘HIS ROUTINE REMOVES ALL THOSE COLON-FILES AND AUTOMATICALLY VALIDATES THE
DISK!
1) ╨╥╔╬╘ ┴ ┬┴╙╔├-╞╔╠┼:
╘HE ROUTINE WILL ASK FOR THE NAME OF THE ┬┴╙╔├-PROGRAM.
═ANY LIST-PROTECTIONS ARE OVERPOWERED.
╘HE PROGRAM IS PRINTED WITH ALL COMMANDS AND FUNCTIONS IN CAPITAL-LETTERS.
╘HIS HELPS TO READ LONG LISTINGS EASIER.
2) ─╧╙-├╧══┴╬─╙:
┴FTER EXECUTING THE COMMAND THE STATUS IS DISPLAYED.
3) ╘┼╙╘ ┬╠╧├╦╙ (─╧╬'╘ ╙├╥┴╘├╚):
┴FTER YOU TELL THE COMPUTER,FROM WHERE TO START AND WHERE TO STOP,IT CHECKS THESE BLOCKS.╔F IT FINDS A BAD BLOCK,YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO MARK IT AS
OCCUPIED(THE COMPUTER WILL THEN NOT TRY TO WRITE TO IT),BUT BEWARE,WITH
╓┴╠╔─┴╘┼ THIS MARK IS REMOVED AND YOU HAVE A BAD BLOCK AGAIN.
├┴╒╘╔╧╬: ╬EVER TEST ╘RACK 18/╙ECTOR 0,BECAUSE THIS WILL RESULT
IN AN ┼═╨╘┘ ─╔╙╦ !!!
4) ╨╥╧╘┼├╘ ╫╚╧╠┼ ─╔╙╦:
╘HIS ROUTINE PROTECTS THE ENTIRE DISK AGAINST ╠╔╙╘,╙┴╓┼,├╧╨┘ ETC.
┘OU STILL CAN LOAD ALL YOUR FILES(AND RUN THEM,OF COURSE),BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT!
┘OU WILL,IF YOU SELECT THIS OPTION,BE ASKED THREE TIMES,IF YOU ARE SURE,THAT
THIS IS,WHAT YOU WANT.
╘HE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE THIS PROTECTION-SCHEME,IS ╥┼╞╧╥═┴╘╘╔╬╟ THE DISK!!
5) ├╚┴╬╟┼ ─╔╙╦-╬┴═┼ ┴╬─ ╔─:
╚ERE THE CURRENT NAME AND ID ARE DISPLAYED.
┘OU ENTER THE NEW NAME AND ID.
6) ╙├╥┴╘├╚┼─ ╞╔╠┼ ╙┴╠╓┴╟┼┴┬╠┼?:
╘HIS IS AN ADDITION TO THE ROUTINE:╙┴╠╓┴╟┼ ╙├╥┴╘├╚┼─ ╞╔╠┼
╔T WILL CHECK,IF A FILE,THAT WAS REMOVED WITH ╙├╥┴╘├╚,CAN BE RESCUED.
╘HERE ARE THREE POSSIBILITIES:
1. FILE IS LOST
2. FILE EVENTUALLY SALVAGEABLE
3. NO NEED TO RESCUE,BECAUSE NO DATA IN FILE.
7) ╨╥╔╬╘ ╞╔╠┼ ╔╬ ╚┼╪:
╘HIS ROUTINE PRINTS A HARDCOPY OF A FILE IN ╚┼╪┴─┼├╔═┴╠.
╨RINTING A RELATIVE FILE,ALL ╙╔─┼-╙┼├╘╧╥-┬╠╧├╦╙ ARE IGNORED!
8) ╒╬╨╥╧╘┼├╘ ╞╔╠┼:
╘HIS IS THE COUNTERPART OF ╨╥╧╘┼├╘ ╞╔╠┼ ╞╥╧═ ╙├╥┴╘├╚╔╬╟.
╔F YOU DID PROTECT A FILE FROM ╙├╥┴╘├╚,WITH THIS OPTION THE PROCESS IS
REVERSED.
9) ╙┴╠╓┴╟┼ ╙├╥┴╘├╚┼─ ╞╔╠┼:
┴FTER YOU USED OPTION 6,AND THE ANSWER IS POSITIVE,THIS ROUTINE ╒╬╙├╥┴╘├╚┼╙
A SCRATCHED FILE AND ╓┴╠╔─┴╘┼╙ THE DISK!
╙╚╔╞╘+1) ╨╥╧╘┼├╘ ╞╔╠┼ ╞╥╧═ ╙├╥┴╘├╚╔╬╟:
╘HERE ARE PROBABLY FILES,THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE PROTECTED AGAINST ╙├╥┴╘├╚.
╙INCE THERE IS NO WAY TO DO THAT WITH A DOS-COMMAND,
╔ WROTE THIS ROUTINE.
╫HENEVER YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT THE PROTECTION,JUST USE OPTION 8.
╙╚╔╞╘+2) ╙╚╧╫ ╞╔╠┼-╨┴╥┴═┼╘┼╥╙:
╚ERE YOU CAN SEE ALL FILE-PARAMETERS,LIKE FILE-TYPE,PROTECTED/UNPROTECTED,
CLOSED OR OPEN FILE,FILE-STARTADDRESS,TRACK/SECTOR,LENGTH E.G.
╙╚╔╞╘+3) ├╚┴╬╟┼ ╞╔╠┼-╘┘╨┼:
╘HIS ROUTINE LETS YOU CHANGE THE TYPE OF A FILE.
┘OU CAN E.G. CHANGE A ╒╙╥-FILE TO A ╙┼╤-FILE(SOME WORD-PROCESSORS USE ╒╙╥-
FILES,OTHERS USE ╙┼╤-FILES).
╔T IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO CREATE AN ╔╠╠-FILE,WHICH WOULD MESS UP A REGULAR DISK-
DIRECTORY (NOT THE DIRECTORY,THAT YOU CAN CALL UP WITH ╞╔╠┼ ═┴╬┴╟┼╥,THOUGH).
╔N SOME CASES IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE,A FILE,THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SCRATCHED,TO
RESCUE JUST BY CHANGING THE FILE-TYPE FROM ─┼╠ TO ╨╥╟ OR ╙┼╤ E.G.
╙╚╔╞╘+4) ╨╥╔╬╘ ─╔╥┼├╘╧╥┘:
╘HIS ROUTINE LETS YOU PRINT A HARDCOPY OF THE DISK-DIRECTORY.
╙╚╔╞╘+5) ╙╚╧╫ ─╔╥┼├╘╧╥┘:
╨RINTS THE DISK-DIRECTORY TO THE SCREEN.
╥EFER TO THE COLOR-CODE ABOVE THE FILE-NAMES TO IDENTIFY THE FILE-TYPE.
╞ILES WITH AN ASTERISK(*) IN FRONT ARE DELETED AND MOSTLY NOT SALVAGEABLE.
╔F YOU EVER TRIED TO SCRATCH A PROTECTED FILE,THIS CHARACTER(<) APPEARS
AFTER THE FILE-NAME,JUST TO SHOW YOU,THAT A FRUITLESS ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO
SCRATCH THIS FILE.
╧NCE IN A WHILE,WHEN THIS OPTION IS BEEN USED,THE DISK-DRIVES LOCKS UP.
┼VEN THOUGH ╔ TRIED REAL HARD TO FIND THE CAUSE,╔ HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT,
YET.╘HE ONLY THING TO DO THEN,IS,SWITCH YOUR DRIVE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN,
HIT ╥╒╬/╙╘╧╨ TOGETHER WITH ╥┼╙╘╧╥┼,AND ╥╒╬ AGAIN.
╘HIS WILL,IN MOST CASES,SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
╙╚╔╞╘+6) ├╠╧╙┼ ┴╬ ╧╨┼╬ ╞╔╠┼:
╫ITH THIS OPTION AN OPEN FILE CAN BE CLOSED.
╔F YOU DON'T CLOSE A FILE,THEN YOU HAVE TO USE "P,M" TOGETHER WITH THE ╧╨┼╬-
COMMAND INSTEAD OF "P,R",WHICH YOU WOULD USE NORMALLY,BECAUSE IF YOU USE "M"
INSTEAD OF "R",THAT MEANS,YOU WANT TO READ FROM AN OPEN FILE.
├┴╒╘╔╧╬: WITH ╓┴╠╔─┴╘┼ ALL OPEN FILES WILL BE DELETED!!
╘HIS IS A ╙╚┴╥┼╫┴╥┼-PROGRAM.┘OU CAN SHARE IT WITH YOUR
FRIENDS,UPLOAD IT TO OTHER ┬┬╙'S OR COPY IT AS OFTEN AS YOU
LIKE.╔T TOOK SOME TIME TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM WORK THE WAY
IT DOES NOW.╔F YOU FIND THE PROGRAM USEFULL,PLEASE SEND
YOUR CONTRIBUTION OF $5.00 OR WHATEVER IT IS WORTH TO YOU,
