FILEFLAG
++++++++
File Database Flags Controller
version 1.00 Compiled 02/01/92
a public domain Wildcat! 3.0 SysOps' utility by Michael Conley.
[ requires BRUN40.EXE in the path ]
WHAT IT DOES:
-------------
FILEFLAG sets or un-sets the "On CD-ROM" flag, the "File Offline" flag,
and/or the "No Charge (free)" flag for ALL files in any specified group
of file areas. This is useful, for example, if you change among several
CD-ROMs and want to maintain a set of file areas for each one. You could
list one group of areas as "offline", and another group as "On CD-ROM" ...
then when you change disks, you could simply alter the flags to show that
the other group of areas is "On CD-ROM" and the first group is "offline."
Running the program:
--------------------
FILEFLAG will run automatically from a batch file provided that no WILDCAT!
nodes are active. It will intelligently parse the command line to determine
which areas to act on, and which flags to set or unset.
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)
Switches may be used in any VALID combination:
Set flags with:
/OFFLINE /CDROM /FREE
Unset flags with:
/NOT OFFLINE /NOT CDROM /NOT FREE
If you make a mistake on the command line, FILEFLAG will exit with a
display explaining the calling syntax. Here's a typical example, where
the user wants to "turn off" one group of CD-ROM listings, and "turn on"
another group ... he would run the program twice:
FILEFLAG 20-25, 28 /CDROM /NOT OFFLINE
FILEFLAG 34-40, 52,53 /NOT CDROM /OFFLINE
PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS:
======================
FILEFLAG is public domain. I don't seek or accept any donations for this or
any of my other Wildcat! utility programs, including TODAYBBS, FLOP, MSTAT,
USTAT, and others.
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
membership without the usually required registration by mail.
You may also leave a message via CompuServe (70250,220).
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.
