Jname v1a (C) 1995 Lorence Lombardo.
Renames Jsplit files to be compatible with IBM SplitIt.
Usage: Jname <Jsplit-file>
FreeWare
What the F_CK is Jname..!?
Before Jsplit came along I use to use an IBM program called "SplitIt"
to split files between IBM & Amiga (Had to use via PC-Task). When I
first got my hands on "Jsplit" I was impressed with its speed. I was also
dissapointed that there was not a compatible "Jsplit" for the IBM.
After some playing around with "IBM SplitIt" and "Jsplit" I discovered
that "Jsplit" could join "IBM SplitIt" files. When I tried to do this
the other way around "IBM SplitIt" would fail because "IBM SplitIt" does
not like the system that "Jsplit" uses to name its files. So I created a
little CLI program which checks "Jsplit" files for invalid IBM characters
and renames the files so that they are compatible with "IBM SplitIt".
Suggested usage:
I suggest you configure "Jname" to work with your directory utility
otherwise you will have to type the name for each file individualy.
Who wants to type........!?
Known bugs:
There is only one little bug with Jname that I know of and that is:-
If the names of your "Jsplit" files contain more than consecutive
space then "Jname" will fail.
eg. "The fat cat.jaa" this file name is OK with "Jname"
"The fat cat.jaa" this file name will fail with "Jname"
This is an easy bug to avoid. Make sure that your original file name
does not have more than one consecutive space.
The End.! CYA..!
