8.7 Pack Files
==========
This little utility lets you pack all datafiles in CMS. This means that
all previously deleted records will be permanently removed from all
datafiles.
IMPORTANT: Packing should be done regularly (weekly or monthly depending
on your work load). This will keep CMS lean and quick. Packing will
automatically reindex all files.
To pack CMS:
A. Press <P> at the "Utilities" menu and then press <Enter>.
The "Pack Confirmation" window will appear:
=============================================================
| Packing removes all deleted records from all files. |
| Packing may take a substantial amount of time |
| depending on the speed of your computer. Continue? [y/N]|
=============================================================
Note: Packing will not affect the information in your datafiles. It
does not touch them at all.
If you press <N> no packing will occur and you will be returned to the
"Utilities" menu.
B. Press <Y> to begin packing.
This will remove all deleted records from the datafiles and update
the index files as well.
C. When done you will be returned to the "Utilities" menu.
