USAGE
Stuffer is a program designed to put files on floppy disks,
wasting the least amount of space, without doing any compression
of data (i.e. all files are standard ASCII files). It does this
by determining the file sizes and starting with the largest,
copying them onto successive floppy disks in drive A until there
are 8 Kbytes or less of free space on the floppy, then it prompts
you for a new floppy to be inserted in the drive. This process
continues until all files are copied.
The program works on only the current directory.
The program will NOT break a large file across multiple floppys.
The program should run fine on other than 360K floppys, but as I
don't have any, it hasn't been tested.
To run the program, enter the command:
Stuffer
or
Stuffer fn.ext
Where fn.ext is a filename pattern (including wildcards) to
use. If you chooese this option, then only files in the
current directory whose names match the pattern will be copied
onto floppys. If you don't enter fn.ext, it assumes *.*.
Follow the instructions as to when to insert disks. To stop the
process, press Esc. The program will stop after completing the current
file copy and exit.
