I wrote this program so that I could have my offline files in the
listing that they belong in and place them at the bottom of the
list so users could press the space when they have seen enough.
The way I run it here at Dungeon Quest II is, I use Mike's list
program (FLIST281.ZIP) in the -c -u mode, this updates the file-
size of all the files, I then run my program with the -F /N /OD
parameters and I'm done!
This enables me to move files to an "offline" directory using
DOS, then during the nitely event all the sizes/listings get
updated. When my offline directory gets about the same size as
my tape, I back 'em up and delete them.
The reason for this program was so that when I restored a file
I could put it in the correct directory and the listing would
get updated automagically.
You can obtain help with the parameters by typing TAGSORT ? or
just TAGSORT for the usage info. Some things you need to know
are:
1. The -F command must be followed by the path to your
status.dat file. (ie. -Fc:\tag) <- note, no spaces
2. The sort parameters must be in the correct order and
must be proceeded with the /. The online sort first and
the offline sort last.
3. The online sort parameter is required.
4. You may specify a path/filename on the command line.
(ie. TAGSORT d:\files\files /N /OD) <- note no extension
Any problems, please let me know via the TAG echo or via netmail,
I do write a *.BAK file of each directory file in case anything
goes wrong.
