- JR-Update is a small conversion utility for all #?.def, #?.macros
- and #?.phones files, hereafter described as "jrcomm.#?" files.
-
- I didn't intend to have to include this program yet, but the phonebook
- wasn't saving all the necessary information, to wit: palette colors,
- alternate dial prefix and password length/type data.
-
- All JR-Comm files have a version number contained inside each file,
- this prevents a future JR-Comm program from using an incompatible file
- which could have untold disasterous results on your system. Well, if
- it were to guru on you and there was some unsaved work somewhere else
- you'd be slinging some mud at me, and I don't exactly go around asking
- for mud to be thrown my way... So, I came up with this little idea for
- preventing that from happening.
-
- Anyways, JR-Update is fairly quick and dirty, to run it use the following
- command template:
-
- jrupdate [pathname]
-
- The pathname is optional, if omitted then you must have your jrcomm.?#
- files in the current directory.
-
- If it is included there is two things to remember. If the pathname is a
- volume or assigned directory include the colon, for example, "JRCOMM:".
-
- If it is a subdirectory then add the '/' character to the pathname, if
- if it isn't a directly below the current directory use the full pathname.
-
- So, "defs/" would mean that the directory is a subdirectory of the
- current directory, whereas "TELECOMM:jrcomm/defs/" would describe the
- complete pathname to where your jrcomm.#? files are.
-
- Like I said, it's quick and dirty right now, I plan to fortify it
- for the official release. It does do all the required error checking
- right now, it just is a little weak in pathname processing.
