* The intent of this program at this time is to allow upkeep to your
present ARC file collection. Please note that file extensions
are NOT altered.
The future of this program is aimed at the process of converting
your ARC file collection into the future product released by
PKwares Inc.
* If you send $47 of more, you will receive, when available, an ALL
NEW data compression utility with better and different compression
methods, enhanced functions, and increased user friendliness.
Send check or money order to: PKWARE, Inc.
7032 Ardara Avenue
Glendale, WI. 53209
Please state that you are registering for the ALL NEW product.
* 12/03/88 - Added locked archive detection. If locked then archive
is skipped. Tested on 90 user Novell system.
Added code to skip hidden, readonly and sysfiles.
Added code to delete .LOG files if size = 0.
Added .LOG file to CLNARC.
* 11/08/88 - Added version numbers to executables which are displayed
when program is run.
* 11/07/88 - Updated code that caused REARC to require CTRL/BREAK if
REARC was started in same directory as processing.
* 11/06/88 - Added CLNARC to PAK-KIT. allows selective deletes of
unwanted files from archives.
* 10/15/88 - Added detection of DesqView and TaskView to allow programs
to be run as background process.
* 10/14/88 - Updated varied documentation.
* 10/10/88 - If you receive the message ARC not accessible on
path when it is, please check ARC executable for read
only access.
* 10/09/88 - Path search fix, possible non processing by CHKARC,
and error message from dos when ARCCOMNT run. Both
problems due to use when PKPAK and PKUNPAK are on path,
but PKARC and PKXARC are not on path, (huh).
The first version would only operate if PKARC and
PKXARC where on path.
CLNARC.EXE *.* file/s_to_delete
Allows selective deletes of unwanted files from selected archives.
CHKARC.EXE *.*
To check integrity of your archive files. See CHKARC.LOG for
files reported erred. Note that warnings are also posted to
CHKARC.LOG as ERROR IN FILE.
REARC.EXE *.*
This program will rearc all archives for you. When PKwares
releases its next product, this program will be modified to
use that program to process ARC files into the future extension.
ARCCOMNT.EXE *.* your desired comment
Is optional, as a sysop, i use this for free advertising.
Note that this is an archive comment and not a file by file
comment of archive files. Be aware that the longest length
of a comment is 32 character positions. Any more and you will
receive one beep for each extra character.
* These programs do not have to be run in a specific order, nor do
they all have to be run.
* File date/time and attributes remain the same as prior to process.
* Note that .LOG files may be present after run of CHKARC, CLNARC
or REARC. They are meant to be used at a later date by yourself.
* Note that erred files are not REARCed.
* Note that ARCCOMNT will comment erred files but error will remain.
* If you must abort the programs as they are running then use
CTRL/BREAK (ONE TIME)
External processes must be allowed to complete for CTRL/BREAK to be
picked up. If you must CTRL/BREAK, the need to delete .$$$ entries
and empty .LOG file may be required.
* For extra processing speed use a ram disk to hold PKwares
* Sample .BAT file:
chkarc c:\files\*.*
chkarc d:\files\*.*
rearc c:\files\*.*
rearc d:\files\*.*
clnarc c:\files\*.* command.com *.bak etc...
pause check your .LOG files before continuing
arccomnt c:\files\*.* (blank wipes all comments)
arccomnt d:\files\*.* Your desired comment
* SWEEP chkarc * etc...
