- ABUSER.COM (v8.4) allows you to change the user numbers of files
- without copying them from one user area to another. This is an
- indispensible utility for those with hard disks. ABUSER allows
- wild cards in both filenames and the from-user area. If an
- unambiguous filename is entered, it checks for a duplicate file
- in the to-user area and gives you the option of (erasing it and)
- replacing it with the new file. This version is reentrant; to
- exit, type a <CR> at the >> prompt.
-
- Format: abuser [d:]fn.ft [from-user] to-user[\]
-
- If no from-user or drive is entered, current is assumed.
- \ toggles console output (default: on) This feature (added in
- v8.2) allows you to keep a directory list on screen while making
- multiple moves.
-
- Examples: abuser blurk.* 8 = all files blurk.* from current user
- to user 8
- abuser *.zap 7 9 = all files *.zap from user 7 to user 9
- abuser zlnk.* * 3 = all files zlnk.* in all user areas to user 3
- abuser *.* * 5 = everything on the disk to user 5
