>>>> IMPORTANT - READ THIS BEFORE USING PROGRAM <<<<<
MACRM is a program to make the removal of file entries from PCBoard
Directories fast, efficient and simple.
MACRM is given a list of unwanted filenames and a listing of the
location of your PCBoard Directories. MACRM then will proceed to remove
all the FILES from the appropriate PCBoard Directory listings.
PCB_filer is easy to use but I find the process can drive me crazy
if I have alot of files to process. I tend to clean my BBS directories
often to ensure that I have ONLY the latest versions of the many changing
shareware/PD files available. I do this by making a single listing
of all my files and scan through these deleteing the old/unwanted versions.
I just don't delete them however, I have a macro set up to store the
unwanted files in a separate file (file1) then I use MACKILL to locate
and delete the files and I use MACRM to delete them from my listings.
It is extreamly fast and efficient and makes .BAK files of each dir
listing BEFORE its processed.
The syntax for using MACRM follows:
MACRM file1 file2
Where: MACRM Is the name of the program
file1 Is a list of files to be deleted
file2 Is a list dir files to process

║ History ║
╚═════════╝
Version 1.1 10 Jan 1993
o Fixed string padding on filename, caused
some files to be missed. Didn't hurt anything
but you had to run it again.
o Added Color
o Added auto ANSI.SYS detection for display of color
if ANSI.SYS (or something of equal functionality)
is loaded then the product runs in color.
o Added output, to show which files are removed,
which directories are being processed, etc.
o Now Compiled using the 286 instruction set. Had to
change this because alot of people only had 286's
A 386 version is obtainable via my BBS, just log
on and ask for it and I'll throw one together.
Version 1.0 28 August 1992
