CDRPATH
+++++++
Places the CD-ROM storage path in all of
the ALLFILES.DAT records in any file area
or group of file areas.
version 1.00 Compiled 07/12/92
a public domain Wildcat! 3.0 SysOps' utility by Michael Conley.
[ requires BRUN40.EXE in the path ]
WHAT IT DOES:
-------------
CDRPATH sets the "On CD-ROM" flag, and automatically enters the specified
CD-ROM storage path in any individual file area or specified group of file
areas. This eliminates the need for you to page through thousands of files
and add the pathname on a one-by-one basis.
Running the program:
--------------------
CDRPATH will run from the DOS command line, provided that no WILDCAT! nodes
are active. It will intelligently parse the command line to determine which
areas to act on, and what path name to load into all of the affected file
records.
Areas may be shown as a individual numbers separated by commas (1,3,15) , or
by a range of areas, separated by a hyphen (20-26), or a combination of those
two types of notation: (1,3,20-25, 38, 50-52)
The storage path name must be in a standard DOS compatible format, including
the drive letter ... for example:
C:\WC30\FILES\CDROM1\
If you make a mistake on the command line, CDRPATH will exit with a
display explaining the calling syntax. Here's a typical example:
CDRPATH 20-25, 28 C:\WC30\FILES\CDROM1\
I've also released a related program called WCCD0, which will create all of
the Zero-byte files if you choose that arrangement for supporting CD-ROMS.
PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS:
======================
This program is public domain. I don't seek or accept any donations or
registration fees for any of my Wildcat! utility programs, including
TODAYBBS, FLOP, MSTAT, USTAT, and others ... however I invite you to
read the short textfile "SHARE" enclosed in this ZIPfile. It suggests
that you make a contribution to YOUR favorite charity if you find this
program useful.
I welcome suggestions, and will try to help (no guarantees) if there are
problems.
You may contact me at The Charlatan's Cabin BBS (213) 654-7337. Mention
your Wildcat! registration number in the comment and you'll be upgraded to
visiting sysop level without the usually required registration by mail.
You may also leave a message via CompuServe EMail. My CompuServe account
number is 70250,220. I also regularly check the Mustang Software head-
quarters BBS, especially the "3rd Party Utilities Help" conference.
Please, NO VOICE CALLS. This isn't meant to be unfriendly, but with the
price of public domain software these days ... I just can't afford to be
"on call." I WILL respond to your questions via my BBS or CompuServe,
or via the Mustang Software registered SysOp BBS.
