Aswp 1.07 Coded by Mercury [acidic]
ASW file packing utility for Renegade systems
─────────────────────────────────────────────
What is Aswp?
Aswp is a utility that cleans out your .ASW files that renegade uses as the
answers to infoforms. It is intended to be used with only RG systems.
─────────────────────────────────────────────
Why do I need Aswp?
Well for one, if you run an NUV program, I use Killean's NUV 3.2,
the NUV program most likely stores the answers to the infoforms in a file
such as NEWUSER.ASW. Let us just say that over 6 months, you have had
100 people apply, and only 50 have made it in. Now you could keep this up,
but as the number of total users who have applied to your system goes up,
so does the size of the .ASW file. Within the .ASW file are users answers
to infoforms, yet these same users have been long since deleted or voted
out. You could go through with a text editor and remove it manually,
which is a major pain in the ass, or you could run Aswp and have it remove
the dead weight automatically.
─────────────────────────────────────────────
How do I run Aswp?
The syntax for the command line is:
ASWP < RG users_idx path > < ASW file(s) >
RG users_idx path:
Path for Renegades USERS.IDX index file. In the same place as the
USERS.DAT file. Ex. 'C:\RG\DATA\USERS.IDX'
ASW file(s):
.ASW files to process. Can include wildcards (*.asw).

What else should I know?
Aswp is compiled with 80386/i486 instructions, so if you have lower, no one
is probably calling your board, and it sucks anyways, so you dont need this.

By the way make a backup in case it fucks up, very unlikely, but who knows.
