4DOS2CF.COM -- Utility for Converting DESCRIPT.ION to NARATIVE.CF
4DOS2CF is provided as a freeware adjunct to the CMFiler shareware
disk/file manager for 4DOS/NDOS users. Both CMFiler and 4DOS/NDOS have
the capability to attach notes to files and directories, to help remind
you of their contents. The 4DOS/NDOS notes are contained in files in
each directory called DESCRIPT.ION, the CMFiler notes in files called
NARATIVE.CF.
Unfortunately, I wrote CMFiler's notes facility before I had any
knowledge of the convention and format already available in 4DOS/NDOS,
and now the investment of time and risk of introducing logic errors into
CMFiler's notes facility by attempting a rewrite at this late date to
shift to the 4DOS/NDOS DESCRIPT.ION convention is simply too great.
So I have done the next best thing -- a conversion utility that
searches any disk you wish for all appearances of the 4DOS/NDOS
DESCRIPT.ION files, converts their notes to the CMFiler format, and
appends them to any existing NARATIVE.CF files (or creates new) in the
same directories.
Simply run 4DOS2CF.COM at the DOS prompt by typing 4DOS2CF. You
will be asked to press the letter of the drive you want searched and
DESCRIPT.ION files converted, and, when that drive is done, whether you
want to do another. 4DOS2CF requires 196k of free conventional memory.
4DOS2CF does not alter any DESCRIPT.ION files, and does not result
in the loss of any notes that already in CMFiler NARATIVE.CF files. It
is provided by the author as a freeware utility to complement the CMFiler
shareware disk/file manager. It is offered as-is, and is not warranted
in any way. C. F. Martin is not responsible in any for any consequences
arising from the use of 4DOS2CF.
