Usage: DIRDSK.EXE [conference number]
Purpose: Reads in files found in 'conference number' uploads area and prompts
you for a file description. This allows you to easily maintain a file
directory that is currently changing. *Only* those file found on the disk
will be included in the DIR file.
This program was designed for companies that provide a support service. You
could designate a floppy drive as an UPLOAD area (don't forget to include it
in your download path) and run this program. It will read in the filenames
on that floppy and allow you to describe them. If they exist you can simply
hit enter (or change the description) if applicable.
For example, let's say you are one of five support technicians. You've fixed
a problem and told the customer to pick it up. You pull the "support disk"
out of B: drive and place your program on it. Run the program and you place
your comments. The next day you delete the program and install a new
(different file). The previous days file will not reflect on the listing,
however the new file (with comments) will.
NOTE: This program will only support 200 files. Anything above that number
of files would be best manipulated using the PCBFILER program. This is
intended for a quick interface to a storage area that is constantly changing.
You'll see that it is not an efficient tool for manipulating large DIR files
that do not change.
DIR Headers will not be destroyed. Only the filenames are affected.
