Ever wanted to 'feed' data to a batch file? You know, there's a list
of stuff in a test file, but in the pase the only way to process each
item individually in a batch file would be to modify the data file so
that the batch file is called once per instance:
call magic.bat data1
call magic.bat data2
etc...
Now, with the handy-dandy FEED program I've written, you can have a data
file cthat contains the lines you want to feed to the batch program using
the following syntax: FEED [data file] TO [batch file]
I basically wrote this program for 2 reasons:
1) Novell's MAKEUSER does not copy the Supervisor PRINTDEF.DAT file to
the appropriate SYS:MAIL\XXXX\ directory - nor does Netware come with
any nifty tools to update all PRINTDEF.DAT files to all users when
global changes are made to print job definitions.
2) Upgrade, add, delete, or otherwise manipulate all the DATA:USERS\USERID
home directories of individual users.
