Program: S3 File Compare Front End (SFC)
Date: 01/28/92
Version: 1.00
Author: George Spafford
Purpose:
To use the fast DOS 5.0 File Compare program (FC.EXE) as an engine to
compare files and then perform an action based on whether the two files
are identical or not.
Install:
Place FILECOMP.EXE in somewhere in your DOS PATH. It must be able to find
the DOS 5.0 FC.EXE program either in the active directory or in the path.
If, in future DOS versions, FC becomes a .COM file, then place that file
in the active directory. Also, if you have any FC.* named programs that
exist in your PATH before the DOS directory, then you will have problems
because that program will be executed first since the PATH statement is
evaluated from left to right.
Procedure:
FILECOMP file1 file2 [/D][/C][/B]
If the file1 and file2 are different, the option switches will be
run. Only specify one switch!!!!!!
/D This will delete file2
/C This will overwrite file2 by copying file1 to file2
/B This will run the SFC.BAT batch file where you can
enter any routine that you want to.
File1's name will be passed to the batch file as %1
File2's name will be passed to the batch file as %2
The DOS errorlevel will be set upon FILECOMP's termination.
Errorlevel 0 Files are identical
1 Files are different
2 File1 couldn't be found
3 File2 couldn't be found
4 Error while deleting File2
5 Error while overwriting File2 with File1
10 The FC program couldn't be located
