PCBVerify 4.20 -- Documentation for PURGE
-----------------------------------------
The PURGE program is a total rewrite, written in Microsoft QuickC version 2.5.
It now loads the entire users file into memory for lightning-fast processing
of your PCBVVER files.
The usage is pretty simple: PURGE [path-to-index-files]
The path to index files does not end in a \ and is not a filename. For most
systems, this would be:
PURGE C:\PCB\MAIN
Purge is only for PCBoard -- since there are so many user file formats out
there this one only supports the one I know best -- PCBoard.
Upon completion, PURGE produces a file called PCBVVER.$$$. This is your new
PCBVVER file. Delete the PCBVVER. file and rename PCBVVER.$$$ to PCBVVER.
Unfortunately, I recently lost the source to this new utility in a disk crash,
but it is not a very difficult program and as such I will be rewriting it
shortly. If you have any problems with it, please let me know. Also, please
note that it requires at least enough memory to load your USERS file. It's
been tested on up to 7000 users on a sytstem with around 580k free, so for
most people it should work fine. Please note that you won't have much luck
running it under low-memory circumstances. As a guideline, if you have
problems with PCBSM doing a purge or sort, PCBV's PURGE will probably not
work either.
