MOZ.DOC 1 Revised: 10-18-96
The MOZ program processes your Netscape Web cache, renaming or copying files so
their file names correspond to the original names they had on the originating
site. Features of this program:
* Renames or copies all of the files in the cache.
* Should work for the caches from version 2.0 of Netscape.
* Originally was written to handle Mosaic caches version 2.0 or above although
I don't use Mosaic anymore so I have no idea if it still works. Someone
told me it didn't work with the Spry version. Sorry!
* Renames each file (with file names like M0OSOSFD.GIF) to match their
original names on the originating site as closely as possible (so this
file might end up being BATMAN.GIF).
* If there are files with duplicate source names, it renames according to
a sequential system (BATMAN01.GIF, BATMAN02.GIF, etc).
* Reads each of the files in the cache and determines the file type.
File types can be any of the following:
AU (sound files)
BMP (graphic files)
EXE (compiled programs)
GIF (graphic files)
HTM (HTML files)
JPG (graphic files)
MID (sound files)
WAV (sound files)
ZIP (compressed files)
Renames the file extension according to the file type.
* Files marked read-only, system, or hidden are ignored during renaming.
* When the /RENAME option is used, a fail-safe file called C:\MOZBACK.BAT
is, by default, created which contains all of the RENAME commands
necessary to rename everything back the way it was.
* Can be used to create an HTML file linked to all of the GIF and JPG
files in the subdirectory. In Netscape, you would then use File | Open
File to load this HTML page and then you would see all of the graphics
in your cache full size and they would be identified on the screen.
Note: You should not run this command while your Web browser is running as it
won't be able to open the necessary cache management file.
Specifying parameters:
Parameters for this program can be set in the following ways. The last setting
encountered always wins:
- Read from an *.INI file (see BRUCEINI.DOC file),
- Through the use of an environmental variable (SET MOZ=whatever), or
- From the command line (see "Syntax" below)
MOZ.DOC 2 Revised: 10-18-96
Syntax:
MOZ [ path | /Cpath ] { /COPY=path | /RENAME | /SKIP } [ /ALL ]
[ /-MOZBACK | /MOZBACK | /MOZBACK=filename ]
[ /-SLIDE | /SLIDE | /SLIDE=filename ]
[ /OVERWRITE | /-OVERWRITE | /OVERASK ]
[ /MONO ] [ /DEBUG ] [ /Iinitfile | /-I ] [ /? ]
where:
"path" (or "/Cpath") is where the files are found. If no path is provided, the
program defaults to looking in the following locations in sequence:
default subdirectory
C:\NETSCAPE\CACHE
C:\MOSAIC\CACHE
D:\NETSCAPE\CACHE
D:\MOSAIC\CACHE
The first subdirectory that exists and contains any files meeting the
specification *.MO* or M0*.* will be the one processed by the command.
"/COPY=path" specifies that the processed files are to be copied under their new
names to the specified output subdirectory, not renamed in the existing
subdirectory. If no subdirectory is specified (i.e. just "/COPY" is passed
in), you will be prompted for one. If the subdirectory does not exist already,
you will be prompted for whether to create it or not.
"/RENAME" specifies that the files are to be renamed instead of copied. This
works great unless you specify it by mistake. Even then, the /MOZBACK file will
allow you to backtrack although the MOZBACK file gets wiped out the second time
through.
"/SKIP" doesn't bother doing any renaming or copying with the files. It's
mainly used when you want the program to create an HTML page with the relevant
graphics.
"/ALL" renames all files in the cache, whether they're in the Web-created
directory file (e.g. FAT.DB) or not. Note that if your Web browser GPF'ed or
something nasty while you were running it, the FAT.DB file will be incomplete or
even missing. /FINAL allows the orphan files to be processed somewhat. Files
matching either *.MO* (Mosaic's default filter) or M0*.* (Netscape's default
filter) will be renamed sequentially starting with _000.* if /ALL is specified.
Initially, the default is "/-ALL".
"/-ALL" skips processing files that aren't identified in the cache directory.
This is initially the default.
MOZ.DOC 3 Revised: 10-18-96
"/-MOZBACK" skips creating a back-out file. The back-out batch file, available
only when /RENAME is in effect, consists of a series of RENAME commands that
reverses the changes that were just made. The initial default is "/MOZBACK".
"/MOZBACK" creates the back-out file as C:\MOZBACK.BAT and is the same thing as
specifying /MOZBACK=C:\MOZBACK.BAT. This file is only created if /RENAME is
used. This is initially the default.
"/MOZBACK=filename" creates the back-out file under the specified filename
instead of using the default filename C:\MOZBACK.BAT. This file is only created
if /RENAME is used. If the filename exists already, you will prompted to
overwrite it or not depending on the value of /OVERWRITE, /-OVERWRITE, and
/OVERASK.
"/-SLIDE" skips creating an HTML file that loads each of the GIF or JPEG graphic
files in the given cache directory. This is initially the default.
"/SLIDE" creates an HTML file named C:\MOZ.HTM which consists of a series of
<IMG SRC=filename> specifications for each of the GIF or JPEG graphic files in
the given cache directory. When you view this file using File | Open File in
Netscape (or a similar command in other browsers), all of the graphic files will
be loaded onto your screen for you to view. "/SLIDE" is the same entering
"/SLIDE=C:\MOZ.HTM". You can have the program do a slide show for all
GIF/JPEG's in your subdirectory (whether they were part of the cache or not) by
saying:
MOZ subdir /SLIDE /ALL /SKIP where "subdir" is where those files are saved.
"/SLIDE=filename" creates the HTML file under the specified filename instead of
using the default filename C:\MOZ.HTM. If the filename exists already, you will
prompted to overwrite it or not depending on the value of /OVERWRITE,
/-OVERWRITE, and /OVERASK.
"/OVERWRITE" says that if either of the output files exist already (depending on
the value of /SLIDE and /MOZBACK), don't prompt before overwriting it.
"/-OVERWRITE" says to abort if either of the output files exist already.
"/OVERASK" says to prompt if either of the output files exist already. This is
initially the default.
"/MONO" (or "/-COLOR") does not try to override screen colors. Initially
defaults to "/COLOR".
"/COLOR" (or "/-MONO") allows screen colors to be overridden. This is initially
the default.
"/DEBUG" tells you what it would rename everything but doesn't actually do
anything.
"/Iinitfile" says to read an initialization file with the file name "initfile".
The file specification *must* contain a period. Initfiles are described in the
BRUCEINI.DOC file. Initially defaults to "/IMOZ.INI".
"/-I" (or "/INULL") says to skip loading the initialization file.
