- At [more or less] random intervals do I have time to update our inhouse
- PD directories from SIMTEL-20. The 'typical' question upfront is normally
- 'what has changed' and 'how much space is needed' - all [and more] info
- is in the FILES.IDX [single-line file-directories] , which SIMTEL-20 keeps
- in the various 'root' directories. Assumption is, that You kept the FILES.IDX
- You used last time You were looking and get a 'current' one before running
- FILDIF... after it has processed the two files, You will have two more
- files DELFILES.CMD [containing all entries which were deleted in the 'current'
- FILES.IDX in respect to the 'kept' one] and GETFILES.CMD [containing all
- 'new' entries in respect to the 'kept' one].
-
- Both files have the same format as FILES.IDX and have to be further processed
- for use with FTP or other OS-programs.
