- Capit - by Robert Lang ⌐ EdgeWare 1991
- ~~~~~
-
- Capit is a small program I wrote in very little time, with very little care,
- while trying to make it very little. It simply renames files in a supplied
- directory so that their first letter is a capital, ie. it Capitalises.
-
- It was written in SAS C (5.10a) on an Amiga 3000, but should work fine on
- AmigaDOS 1.3. It is complete copyright by me, but I'm allowing it to be
- freely distributed for no more than the cost of current Megadisc or Fred Fish
- PD prices, and not on ANY commercial product WHATSOEVER...this includes
- disk magazines. Megadisc has permission to use this program, other disk mags
- must apply to me for permission.
-
- This documentation must be supplied with the program, and source is available
- on request.
-
- Usage is simple, if you don't give an argument it renames all files in the
- current directory, if you supply a directory it renames all files in that
- directory....only in the one level, though, no recursive directory listings.
-
- This is useful since I am a shell-freak and create my Topik Disks from the
- shell and then have to go along and rename all files to capitals to make them
- look nice on the workbench, but now I just type Capit and it does it for me !

- Oh, and enjoy !
-
- (Note : I've found an interesting trick with this program. When working,
- sometimes a file that is renamed is later re-checked, since obviously AmigaDOS
- rewrites the file information at the end of the file-list of the directory.
- This could be fixed by reading the directory FIRST and storing it in a list
- somewhere and then processing that list, but that would make the program larger
- than is needed. Since my program won't rename a file with a capital letter as
- its first already, processing eventually stops.)
