NODESC
++++++++
version 1.10 March 31, 1992
a public domain Wildcat! 3.0 SysOps' utility by Michael Conley.
[ requires BRUN40.EXE in the path ]
WHAT IT DOES:
-------------
NODESC examines your ALLFILES.DAT file and produces a file called
NODESC.RPT which contains a list of any files without descriptions,
or files who's descriptions are "Ask (username) who dropped carrier."
If you add the command line switch "/PATH", NODESC will include path
names in the report.
If you add the command line switch "/AUTO", NODESC will create a batch
file instead of a report, which will execute AUTODESC on each file which
doesn't contain a valid description.
Running the program:
--------------------
NODESC will run automatically from a batch file. Simply be sure that
all of the files the program needs are in the DOS path when the program
is started.
Here's a list of the files NODESC expects to find:
BRUN40.EXE (anywhere in path)
MAKEWILD.DAT (anywhere in path)
FILEAREA.DAT (anywhere in path)
ALLFILES.DAT (program gets path from MAKEWILD.DAT)
Either of two optional switches may be added to the NODESC command
line: "/PATH" or "/AUTO".
If "/PATH" is present, the file listing will include the pathname as
specified in your FILEAREA.DAT. This is handy if you want to review
the file and create your own description.
If "/AUTO" is present, NODESC will create a batch file to call AUTODESC
for each file that is missing a valid description. You may then simply
run NODESC.BAT and AUTODESC will search each file, and add the descriptions
to the missing files based upon the contents of DESC.SDI or FILE_ID.DIZ.
PROBLEMS, SUGGESTIONS:
======================
NODESC 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.
