- 1- Syntax 2- Notes
-
-
- NAME.COM was inspired by Jay Sage's ARUNZ script for the same function.
- Jay's script invoked A.E.Hawley's wonderful EDITND tool to simply rename the
- current directory. EDITND is a powerful program with lots of features - it
- also weighs in at about 6 1/2 K. NAME is under 2K and does on-the-fly
- renaming and deletion of directory names very quickly and safely. It's really
- quite nice on a ramdisk or in COMMAND.LBR and makes a good team with PWD and
- A.E.'s SAVNDR tool. Use with SAVNDR and a system loader (JetLdr, NZCOM, LLDR,
- LDR, etc.) or with a "system snapshot" utility (SNAP, LAP, NZBLITZ, etc.) to
- make changes permanent.
- :1
- Syntax [du: or dir:]newname [password]
-
- NAME changes the name of the specified or default directory. Invoked
- without a new directory name, it just deletes the NDR entry for the current or
- specified DU:/DIR:.

- NAME Notes
-
- a. Z3LIB bug: ADDNDR does not check properly for NDR overflow, so NAME has
- to keep track of whether there's room or not.
-
- b. Vs 1.2 updates (6/29/91, Bruce Morgen):
- - Deleted and re-coded parts of NAME to take advantage of the fact that
- Z3LIB routines SUBNDR and ADDNDR now work as documented.
- - Used new GETND0 routine in place of old, errant GETNDR.
-
- c. Vs 1.1 updates (6/12/91, Bruce Morgen):
- - Improved help screen.
- - Type 4 executable implemented.
- - Trival code tweaks.
