- MAKE1 transforms a PCBoard type file listing containing multi-line
- descriptions into a single line per entry list (each line can be up to
- 255 characters).
-
- MAKE1 is designed to prepare a file list for sorting by any of the
- standard fields (file name/ size/ date).
-
- Usage: MAKE1 <infile> <outfile>
-
- MAKE1 must have exactly two parameters on the command line, the file
- to be converted and the name of a -new- file (MAKE1 will not overwrite
- any file).
-
- Entries will retain their original format, except the descriptions
- will all be on one line, and may extend to the 255 character on that
- line.
-
- The 255 character limit is imposed by PASCAL, which I used to write
- this program. A more experienced programmer could work around this
- limitation. (Perhaps even I could, but I don't want to.)
-
- Note: after the files have been processed by MAKE1, they may be sorted
- by any of a large number of freeware/ shareware/ retail programs.
- I have another free utility to delete duplicate lines, called
- FDUPLINS, which should be available from the same place you got this
- (probably in a collection called RWUTLS10.zip).
-
- When you are ready to return the file list to "normal", I have another
- free utility to do that, called PCBWrap, which should be available
- where you got this, as PCBWRAP.zip. (This is the program of which I
- am proudest.)
