- Program: DCMAP
- Package: Part of the DCon Utility Set
- Version: 1.0
- Date: December 9, 1991
- Author: George Spafford
-
- Purpose:
-
- To read a virgin, untampered directory, create a data file, and then when
- the program is run, compare all of the files in the directory to see if
- they are allowed or not.
-
-
- Procedure:
-
- Usage DCMAP /S:source /D:datafile /C
-
- /S:source This is the directory & file spec that you want to
- check. It must be specified.
-
- /D:datafile This is the name for the filename control file.
- If a name is not specified, "DCMAP.DAT" will be
- used. The data file will have hidden and read-only
- attributes.
-
- /C Create the data file, or refresh it. If a data file
- is not found, /C is automatically assumed. Note,
- if you misspell the data file in the /D: option,
- a new file will be created.
-
- ANY UNAUTHORIZED FILES WILL BE DELETED. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE -
- UNDERSTAND THIS PROGRAM BEFORE YOU USE IT.
-
- DCMAP was created to allow administrators an easy way to weed junk files
- out of directories (school labs are a prime example). One shortcoming of
- this program is that it will not do directories at this time. I am still
- trying to figure out the logic of recursive directory searches.
-
- Now, keep in mind this program will delete any new files. To add files,
- either strip the attributes from the data file and delete it, or use the /C
- switch to update the default log file or the /D: log file.
-
- THIS PROGRAM WILL DELETE FILES REGARDLESS OF THE ATTRIBUTES ON THE FILES.
-
- I highly recommend that you use this program in a test directory for a while
- with some dummy files before you attempt to implement it.
-
- Register Me:
-
- This package is a little different from some utility packages that are on the
- market today. If you only like one or two programs, the individual programs
- can be registered for $5 per concurrently used copy. The bargain (in my
- eyes) is that the whole package is only $20. It is up to you whether or not
- you want the entire package or only specific files. If this package, or one
- of the utilities aids you, you should register your copy. For example, say you
- want DCMAP & DCUPDAY, then you need only send $10. But please, if you use this
- software, register it.
