NAME
FNAMS - a filter program for the ZOO archiver. Amiga
version.
SYNOPSIS
FNAMS <directory>
FNAMS <unit>
DESCRIPTION
FNAMS will produce a listing on stdout of all files under
the given directory/unit with their full pathnames. Thus
FNAMS is a complement to the ZOO archiver. The first
objective is to provide a easy way to archive entire
directory structures.
The intended use is as follows:
First produce a listing of the desired directory using
FNAMS:
FNAMS > <tempfile> <dirpath>
Then use <tempfile> together with the ZOO option I:
ZOO < <tempfile> aI <archivename>
ZOO will then put into <archivename> all files described in
<tempfile>.
Please note that when producing a list of the files in a
subdirectory you have to append a '/' to the path like
this:
unit:dir/subdir/
-+- note this!
FILES
<tempfile>

BUGS
None known...
DIAGNOSTICS
Since the program is intended as a filter it will not emit
any error messages. Erratic input will result in zero files
listed. This with one single execption, and that is when no
parameter is given, wich will produce the usual 'Usage:...'
message.
THANKS TO
Lattice for including those hints on how to squeeze
filesize to a minimum.
Rahul Dhesi for writing ZOO in the first place.
