- General Description:
-
-
- Create creates new Files or new Dirs.
- Therefor you can specify as many Names as you want.
- Also you can specify e.g. 3 dirs and 5 files.
-
- Create is an enhancement of the c:Makedir command.
-
- You can e.g. use Create in your Startup-Sequence instead of
- calling MakeDir.
-
- With Create you`re also able to create new files. Some people
- may ask why should I create am EMPTY file.
-
- Well there are some programs, like texteditors or paintprograms
- that can be called by specifying a filename.
- If the filename exists they will load it at startime. But if it
- doesn`t yet exists:
-
- - you could get nervous by an ugly message requester
-
- - or you`ll get a simple message like 'couldn`t find specified
- file`
-
- - or the program simply terminates (this would be the badest
- case) by displaying an errortext
-
- You can now use Create to get rid of this.
- The best way to solve such problems is to write a batchfile,
- that must be located in the current AmigaDOS-searchpath.
- ( e.g. in the s:- or c:- Dir).
-
- Ex.:
-
- Assuming you use a texteditor with the name texted you can use
- the following batchfile
-
- .Key FileName ; name of the text
-
- if EXISTS <FILENAME> ; text still Text exists
- TextEd <FILENAME> ; normally call of texted
- endif
- else ; if not
- Create <FILENAME> QUIET ; first call Create then
- TextEd <FILENAME> ; call texted with the new cerated filename
- endif
-
- Now you can save this batchfile as e.g. 's:TED' and set the
- S-Bit with 'Protect s:TED +s'.
-
-
- Notice:
-
- If you specify QUIET no status- or success-messages will be
- printed out.
-
- If you then type 'TED' follwing by the name of an not currently
- existent filename, it first will be created and then the editor
- will be called.
-
- No more requesters and stupid messages will appearing.
-
- This is also available for paint programs and music eds etc.
-
-
- System Requirements
-
- To use Create you need at minimum Kickstart 2.xx Version 37.xx.
-
- Because of using a lot of new OS 2.0 features Create is not
- able to run under Version 1.2 and 1.3.
-
-
- Legal Stuff:
-
-
- This program and all files come with it also the docfiles are
- released as FREEWARE.
-

- everybody may use Create,
-
- everybody may copy Create, if:
-
- 1. you copy all included files see list below

- included files must stay in the origin form.

- which may not extend 5$.
- 5. if you want to include Create or one of the included

- (address see below)
-
-
- I take no warranty or garanty for the function of this program.
- The whole risk of using it stays by the user.
-
-
-
-
- FEATURES:
-
- - Creating of Dirs and Files.
-
- - Multiples specifications supported
-
- - very small code size
-
- - It owns a QUIET option, which enables you to use Create in
- every kind of batchfiles.
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Just copy Create to your c: dir or any other dir in your current
- AmigaDOS searchpath.
-
- Starting Create:
-
-
- Create must be startet from Cli. Alternatively you can use the
- 'ExecuteCommand' WBench menuitem.
-
-
- Create START PARAMETERs:
-
- Create has the following
-
- Syntax: Craete File_Or_Dir/M/A,[QUIET/S]
-
-
- File_Or_Dir/M/A one or more The given name is the file or dir you
- strings wants to create. You can specify
- multiples files and/or dirs.
- If you wnat to create dirs you must put
- an '/' at the end of the name. Otherwise
- you will get a new file.
-
-
- !!!! WARNING: You should take care that some copier and cruncher, like LHA
- or LHArc have problems with files with the size of 0 Bytes.
- So you should look for empty files and dirs and delete them
- before you want to archieve or crunch something.
-
-
- QUIET -------------- If you specify QUIET no messages about
- successfully operations will be printed
- Normally Create informs you if it had
- created a file or dir.
- This is very useful if you want to use
- Create in batchfiles.
- If an error occures Create sets its
- ReturnCode to 5 (warn). This normally
- terminates a batchfile execution.
-
-
- *** If you start Create without spacifying any PARAMETER a little
- *** helptext will be displayed. Also if you give a wrong commandline
- *** to Create.
-
-
- Technical:
-
-
- Create is compiled with the Manx Aztec C V 5.2a - Compiler
-
- Create uses the new ReadArgs DOS - functions for CommandLine-
- Parsing. Also I used functions as Lock, Unlock, ParentDir etc...
-
-
- Last:
-
- I hope Create would be used by many people.
-
- If you find any bugs please let me know.
-
- Also serious critic and/or ideas are wellcomed.
