This .ZIP file contains two utilities for use with Microsofts
Visual Basic. These utilities are called VBCOPY.EXE and VBDEL.EXE.
They are used to copy or delete Visual Basic projects.
Visual Basic stores information about the project in the .MAK
file. VBCOPY and VBDEL read the .MAK file and determine which
forms and/or other files belong to the project. VBCOPY will
copy the .MAK file and the other files for the project to
another directory. VBDEL will DELETE the .MAK file and ALL the
other files for the project.
These utilities will tell you if it doesn't think the .MAK
file is a Visual Basic .MAK file. The error messages out of
these utilities are simple. Most of the time any error message
indicates that the .MAK file or path is incorrect or that the
destination path is incorrect. VBDEL will prompt you before it
deletes any project.
The format for the utilities are:
VBCOPY <source .MAK file> <destination path>
source .MAK file can contain a path
and you can also specify *.MAK or
*.* (which defaults to *.MAK)
destination path is where you want the
.MAK file and the other files to go. If
you don't specify the destination it will
copy them to the current directory
VBDEL <.MAK file to delete>
This will delete the .MAK file and ALL releated
files found in the .MAK file. You can specify a
path for this also.
I have used these utilities many times without any problems.
I determined the format of the .MAK file on my own so I
cannot guarantee that it will always find the correct forms
even though is has so far.
Please report any bugs found with this utilities to me so
I can fix them and upload a new copy. Thank You.
