- MOVE, written by Kai Iske August 16. 1993
- This is PUBLIC DOMAIN; you may do with it whatever you like
-
- If you change/republish/delete/sell the program or do anything similar, please
- be so kind to keep my name within the program and all the other files.
-
- I wrote Move because all of the available moves out there couldn`t suffice my
- needs. They lacked this and that, so I wrote my own which also includes
- switches like those known from e.g. Rename.
-
- MOVE was written using SAS 6.3....
-
- !!! Move requires OS 2.x and up to run !!!

- ------------------
- What does MOVE ???
- ------------------
-
-
- Well, it moves files from here to there. You may issue as many source files
- as there fit on one command line, even including patterns. Issuing directory
- names will cause Move to create a directory of the same name within the
- destination directory (if not already existent) and move all the files from
- the source directory to the new destination. Furthermore all directories
- within the source will be collected recursively. There are several options
- for Move:
-
- Move FROM/M,TO/A,CLONE/S,DATES/S,NOPRO/S,COM/S,QUIET/S,NOREQ/S,FORCE/S
-
- Explanation
-
- FROM : From file(s)/pattern(s)
- TO : Destination directory
- A destination file will be accepted only if there are no
- multiple files to be moved.
- CLONE : Clones file date, file comment and protection bits
- DATES : Only file dates and file protection will be cloned
- NOPRO : Per default the protection bits will be cloned. You may
- disable this feature using NOPRO
- COM : Only file comments and file protection will be cloned
- QUIET : Per default Move runs in verbose mode, ie. all file-/dirnames
- will be printed within the Shell. This option will disable
- verbose mode.
- NOREQ : This one is used to disable "Please insert xxx in yyy" Requesters
- FORCE : Move a read-/deleteprotected file to a write/deleteprotected
- file, i.e. no matter what bits are set for a source/destination
- file, it will be moved/overwritten.
-
- Examples
-
- Move *.c *.h SMakeFile PictureDir t:
-
- Will move all files ending with ".c"/".h", a file called SMakeFile, and
- a directory PictureDir to t: (PictureDir will be created then)
