- CHANGE is a program, written for PCBoard, that lets you globally modify any or
- all of the following files: PCBOARD.DAT, CNAMES.@@@, CNAMES.ADD, DOORS.LST,
- BLT.LST, SCRIPT.LST, DIR.LST and DLPATH.LST.
-
- At its simplest, CHANGE will let you change a single line in the pcboard.dat
- file to a new value.
-
- More powerfully, you could use CHANGE to update all of your PCBoard
- configuration files at once. You might use this capability if you were to move
- all of your files from one drive letter to another or from one path to
- another.
-
-
- Usage:
- ------
-
- CHANGE {pcboard.dat} {/options} {/FROM:text} /TO:text
-
-
-
- Options:
- --------
-
- None Specified Operate only on the pcboard.dat file
- /LINE:### Specify a line number in pcboard.dat to change
- /PCBDAT Update PCBOARD.DAT
- /CNAMES Update CNAMES.@@@ and CNAMES.ADD
- /DOORS Update all DOORS.LST files
- /BLT Update all BLT.LST files
- /SCRIPT Update all SCRIPT.LST files
- /DIR Update all DIR.LST files
- /DLPATH Update all DLPATH.LST files
-
-
-
- Notes:
- ------
-
- When /LINE:### is used, only the /TO:text option is necessary.
-
- If the FROM or TO text includes spaces then you must enclose the
- entire switch in quotes (e.g. "/FROM:Salt Air BBS" "/TO:New BBS").
-
- The FROM and TO text is case sensitive.
-
-
-
- Examples:
- --------
-
- CHANGE /LINE:91 /TO:10
-
- Change line #91 in the pcboard.dat to "10". Line #91 is the node
- number, so this change modifies the node number.
-
-
-
- CHANGE /PCBDAT /FROM:C: /TO:D:
-
- Change all drive C: references to D: in the pcboard.dat file that
- is in the current directory.
-
-
-
- CHANGE /PCBDAT /CNAMES /DOORS /BLT /SCRIPT /DIR /DLPATH /FROM:C: /TO:D:
-
- Change all drive C: references to D: in the pcboard.dat file that
- is in the current directory. Using the pcboard.dat file, locate
- and read the CNAMES files changing C: to D:. Also, change all drive
- C: references found in any of the .LST files to drive D:.
-
-
-
- CHANGE F:\PCBOARD.DAT /PCBDAT "/FROM:Salt Air BBS" "/TO:My New BBS"
-
- Updating the pcboard.dat file found on drive H: in the PCB
- directory... search for the name of the BBS and change it.

- History
- -------
- 5/13/93 Update
- ------
- Fixed a problem where CHANGE would remove a pcboard.dat file
- if used like this: CHANGE PCBOARD.DAT /FROM:xxx /TO:yyy
-
- What is missing is the /PCBDAT switch which should be used.
- To avoid accidental erasure of the pcboard.dat file, change has
- been fixed to avoid touching the pcboard.dat file without the
- use of the /PCBDAT switch.
-
- Also, fixed a bug where DIR files could grow (unstoppably) if
- you tried to update them with the /DIRS switch.
