- zooAll.rexx - an ARexx program that will ZOO all files within a
- directory, including subdirectories. The resultant
- archive is GIVEN the SAME NAME as its source directory.
-
- It will generate a standard AmigaDOS script file, where necessary,
- that will be included in the .ZOO file. This script file, when executed,
- recreates the original file structure, creating any necessary
- subdirectories.
- zooall.rexx makes allowances for similar filenames by appending the
- files directory name to the filename itself. This creates unique filenames
- for files which are to be added to the archive. There may be rare
- occurences, depending upon the form the subdirectories take, which will
- cause problems.
-
- zooall.rexx looks for 'zoo', and 'rename' in the 'c' directory
-
- USAGE: rx zooall device:[directory] [device:[directory]] [d]
- arg1 arg2 arg3*
- where arg1 is the source,
- and its device the default destination
- arg2 is an optional destination
- arg3 if 'd', deletes the source directory
-
- *in order for arg3 to be handled properly a destination (arg2)
- must be specified. (arg1 'device:' is acceptable)
-
-
-
- What zooall.rexx DOES NOT DO:
-
- - verify correct syntax
- - verify hard existence of source or destination
- - verify sufficient space for resultant .zoo file
- - restore source to its original form (you must 'cd' to the
- appropriate destination and 'execute' the 'exec.me' file)
-
-
- zooAll.rexx is based on 'arcall.rexx' By Larry Phillips.

-
- 'zooall.rexx' is my first attempt at ARexx programming, and therefore,
- no doubt, not the most efficient code. If you see any refinements which
- might be made please let me know. This is of course PD, no copyright
- applies, and you are free to use it any manner you choose.
