- CULLDIR
-
- The CULLDIR utility is to be used in conjunction with active directory
- rooms. Let's face it: while the FILEDIR.TXT/.RE option is real handy for
- directory rooms, it's a real pain trying to keep FILEDIR.TXT culled of
- files that no longer exist in the directory. That's what CULLDIR is for.
- It will go through a FILEDIR.TXT and delete all entries in it for which
- files do not exist in the current directory.
-
- Usage is very simple. Place yourself in the directory that has
- a FILEDIR.TXT with extra entries in it, and run CULLDIR. It expects all
- of the data that it will work on to be on the default drive, in the
- current directory. If it doesn't find a FILEDIR.TXT, it will abort
- operation. CULLDIR is unique amongst the utilities in that it doesn't
- need any of the normal Citadel-86 data files -- only a directory with
- FILEDIR.TXT in it.
-
- You could setup a script to automate this process by having it CD to each
- directory area and then do a CULLDIR. I eventually plan to extend this
- program so that it will take the CTDLDIR.SYS file as an argument and read
- all your directory rooms automatically. This is on my list of things to
- do...
