This file does nothing but EXIST. It is needed by external
downloads to help WILDCAT! determine if the transfer was
successful. Since most external transfer programs will follow
the DOS convention of setting the ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an error
takes place, we can use this file to test for that condition.
The end of each external batch download file should contain the
line:
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 COPY ALL.OK TRANSFER.BAD
If the transfer goes well, the COPY command will NOT take place,
and the file named TRANSFER.BAD will NOT exist (WILDCAT! will
look for it on return). If the transfer does abort with an error,
the COPY command WILL take place and there will now be a mirror
image of this file named TRANSFER.BAD. When WILDCAT! reloads it
will look for TRANSFER.BAD, and if found will know there was an
error. WILDCAT! then doscounts the downloads and erases TRANSFER.BAD
Simple, huh?
