CULLDIR
The CULLDIR utility is to be used in conjunction with active directory
rooms. Let's face it: while the FILEDIR.TXT/.RE option is real handy for
directory rooms, it's a real pain trying to keep FILEDIR.TXT culled of
files that no longer exist in the directory. That's what CULLDIR is for.
It will go through a FILEDIR.TXT and delete all entries in it for which
files do not exist in the current directory.
Usage is very simple. Place yourself in the directory that has
a FILEDIR.TXT with extra entries in it, and run CULLDIR. It expects all
of the data that it will work on to be on the default drive, in the
current directory. If it doesn't find a FILEDIR.TXT, it will abort
operation. CULLDIR is unique amongst the utilities in that it doesn't
need any of the normal Citadel-86 data files -- only a directory with
FILEDIR.TXT in it.
You could setup a script to automate this process by having it CD to each
directory area and then do a CULLDIR. I eventually plan to extend this
program so that it will take the CTDLDIR.SYS file as an argument and read
all your directory rooms automatically. This is on my list of things to
do...
