======================== FileMark ========================
v1.01
copr. Dave Williams, 1990
FileMark is a utility for PCBoard sysops. It will take a PCBoard file list
in standard format and feed the file descriptions into your files as comments.
This is a boon to users, who often download a neato file and then forget what
it was, and find there's no docfile in there anyway. (You know... remember
back when YOU were one of those scummy "users"?)
Besides, a nice file description has more class than loading something like
"Call my BBS at 555-1212! GIFs! GIFs! GIFs!" into all your files, right?
FileMark will take a normal PCBoard directory entry like this:
/*
24HR.ARC 1971 06-10-89 Change DOS's 12 hr clock to 24 hr format
*/
... and fix you up with this:
/*

The following utilities will work with FileMark. All have been tested.
name command full name

pkarc -x PKARC 3.61
pkzip -z PKZIP 1.1
pak -H PAK 2.0
zoo -comment ZOO 2.01
dwc i DWC 5.01
To use FileMark, you must go to the directory you wish to convert. Your
file compression utility must be in your PATH. Construct a command line in
this fashion:
filemark pkzip -z filelist.000
You may use any name+command in the table above to run your preferred file
compressor. Your file list name would replace "filelist.000".
Note:
MDCD10 (.MD files) doesn't support comments.
LHarc 1.14b doesn't really support comments. Yet, anyway.
NOAH doesn't support comments.
LUE220 (.LBR files) doesn't support comments.
.z (Unix) format doesn't support comments.
Caveats:
FileMark doesn't check for file extensions when it feeds commands to the file
compressor. If you have some PAKs mixed with ZIPs and you're doing ZIP
comments, PKzip will grumble about things. If you have files in your file
list that don't exist, PKarc will create files with those names. (for shame!)
FileMark is shareware. If you find the program to be of use, please

FileMark is dependent on external programs written by other people who may
