WGM-MAKE v.1.0 PCBoard(tm) Directory File Maker
Copyright (c) 1992, Wayne G. Maas
Introduction
────────────
WGM-Make is a utility for PCBoard sysops that will help in the creation
of PCBoard file directories. This utility that will read a DOS directory
and create a PCBoard file directory text file. This utility will come in
real handy to add files to the BBS without having to do a local upload.
Features
────────
WGM-Make will search each compressed file for FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI
description files. If it detects one of these files, it will add the
description to the directory file. If a description file is not found,
an appropriate description is used. The compression utilities that are
supported in this version are ARC (PKPAK), ARJ, LZH, PAK, ZIP and ZOO.
Running WGM-Make
────────────────
To run WGM-Make, simply enter WGM-MAKE (with out any parameters) at your
DOS prompt to display the help screen. The following parameters are
required for WGM-Make to execute properly.
The syntax for WGM-Make is:
WGM-MAKE /D<path> /F<name> [/I]
/D<name> This parameter is used to tell WGM-Make which directory to
create the PCBoard directory file for. This has to be a
valid DOS directory.
/F<name> This parameter is used to tell WGM-Make the name of the
PCBoard directory file to create. This has to be a valid DOS
filename and can include a drive and/or pathname.
IF A FILE EXISTS WITH THE NAME SPECIFIED, IT WILL BE DELETED!
/I This parameter is optional. It tells WGM-Make not to look
into the compressed files for the description files.
Example #1
──────────
WGM-MAKE /Dc:\newfiles /Fc:\pcb\gen\dirup
This example will read the C:\NEWFILES directory and add all the files
found to a text file called C:\PCB\GEN\DIRUP. This will also look in
all the compressed files and add the description file if found.
Example #2
──────────
WGM-MAKE /Dc:\newfiles /Fc:\pcb\gen\dirup /I
This example will read the C:\NEWFILES directory and add all the files
found to a text file called C:\PCB\GEN\DIRUP. This example will tell
WGM-Make not to look for the description files.
