- RCHANGE(1) FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE RCHANGE(1)
-
- NAME
- rchange.tos - change the number of available Fnordadel rooms
-
- SYNOPSIS
- rchange <newsize>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Rchange will expand or shrink the set of Fnordadel room
- files, roomnnnn.sys. Give it the desired new size on the
- command line, and rchange will munge away, creating or
- deleting room files as required. When finished it will rem-
- ind you to change ctdlcnfg.sys accordingly and run
- configur.tos. If you don't, your system will die a horrible
- death. Believe it. "Or not" is not an option.
-
- Rchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
- ctdltabl.sys file.
-
- OPTIONS
- <newsize>
- The desired new number of rooms. There can be no fewer
- than 3 active rooms (Lobby>, Mail> and Aide> are non-
- negotiable), and no more than 9999.
-
- NOTES
- If the number of rooms is being decreased, rchange will
- first check the rooms that will have to be deleted, to see
- if they are in use or not. If any of them are in use,
- rchange will complain and give you the option of aborting
- the operation, or shrinking the number of rooms up to the
- point where the last active room was found.
-
- Please make a backup before you run this. Just Do It.
-
- A future enhancement will allow rchange to shuffle rooms so
- that all active rooms are contiguous. This will permit
- greater compression than may be possible now.
-
- FILES
- rchange.tos The room resizer.
- #roomdir\roomnnnn.sys The room files.
- ctdltabl.sys The system tables file.
