- PCCARK V1.0
- An ARC-File Copy/Lister
- by
- Drue Kennon & Gary Smith
-
-
- PCCARK was written because of a need to reduce the size of an
- arc file viewer for use with PcConnect. We added to this the
- abiltiy to create a new arcfile and copy selected files from
- within an arc file into this new file. This ability is limited
- to copying files from only one archive into the new archive. We
- have not attempted to write another merge utility like Tom
- Henderson's MARC.
-
- Often it is desirable to create a listing of all the files
- contained in your numerous arcfiles as a quick reference. PCCARK
- provides that ability.
-
- Enough of what it will and won't do, here's how it works.
-
- PCCARK alone will cause the program to display a short help
- screen on the usage features. They are as follows.
-
- c:>pccark <source> <target> [<filename(s)> . . . . ]
-
- In Which: <source> is the ARChive we get our files from, and
- <target> is the ????????.arc file we move files to or
- the text file to receive arcfile listing.
- <filename(s)> is/are the file(s) we should copy.
-
- <filename(s)> can be in the form of a list file named << PCCARK.LST >>
- which contains the names of the files found in <source> you wish copied
- into <target>. PCCARK.LST must be specified on the command line.
- No default check for this file is attempted.
-
- If no <filename(s)> is/are given, a listing of files contained
- in <source> is assumed, and if <target> IS specified, it is assumed.
- to be the file name to receive the arcfile listing. Otherwise the
- listing go to standard out (screen).
-
-
- e.g.
- c:>PCCARK prints the above screen basically
-
- c:>PCCARK MYARC.ARC produces a screen listing of the files in myarc.
-
- c:>PCCARK MYARC.ARC MYARC.LST
-
- Produces a listing of myarc and the listing is written to myarc.lst
- on disk. If the listfile exists it is appended with the new list.
-
- c:>PCCARK MYARC.ARC NEWARC.ARC PCCARK.LST
-
- The file pccark.lst is used to supply a list of files contained in
- myarc.arc that we will copy into the created arcfile newarc.arc.
- The pccark.lst file should look like this...
-
- <TOP OF FILE>
- myfile1.c
- myfile2.c
- myfile3.c
- ...........more files
- myfiles.h
- <END OF FILE>
-
- PCCARK.lst is the only list-file name allowed.
-
- c:>PCCARK MYARC.ARC NEWARC.ARC myfile1.c myfile3.c myfiles.h
-
- The files < myfile1.c myfile3.c myfiles.h > will be copied from
- myarc.arc into the created newarc.arc file.
-
- It's just that simple.
-
- As always when I code for dealing with archive files, my thanks go
- to Gary Conway and Infinity Design Concepts for his documentation
- on NARC, and to Tom Henderson for his pioneering work in the ARChive
- file field.
-
- PCCARK.exe will currently recognize and deal with the 9 known methods
- of file storage. 1=Storing - Squishing - Crunching - 9=Squashing.
-
- Who knows, .... Storquishrunchquashing may be next in line.
-
- Drue
-
- Send no money for PCCARK even if you do like it. Just say a silent
- thankx and call the board no and then. Take part in the programming
- discussions etc... and generally help someone else learn what you know.
