- copr. Dave Williams, 1990
-
- FileMark is a utility for PCBoard sysops. It will take a PCBoard file list
- in standard format and feed the file descriptions into your files as comments.
- This is a boon to users, who often download a neato file and then forget what
- it was, and find there's no docfile in there anyway. (You know... remember
- back when YOU were one of those scummy "users"?)
-
- Besides, a nice file description has more class than loading something like
- "Call my BBS at 555-1212! GIFs! GIFs! GIFs!" into all your files, right?
-
- FileMark will take a normal PCBoard directory entry like this:
-
- /*
- 24HR.ARC 1971 06-10-89 Change DOS's 12 hr clock to 24 hr format
- */
-
- ... and fix you up with this:
-
- /*

- The following utilities will work with FileMark. All have been tested.
-
- name command full name
- ----- -------- ----------
- pkarc -x PKARC 3.61
- pkzip -z PKZIP 1.1
- pak -H PAK 2.0
- zoo -comment ZOO 2.01
- dwc i DWC 5.01
-
- To use FileMark, you must go to the directory you wish to convert. Your
- file compression utility must be in your PATH. Construct a command line in
- this fashion:
-
- filemark pkzip -z filelist.000
-
- You may use any name+command in the table above to run your preferred file
- compressor. Your file list name would replace "filelist.000".
-
-
- Note:
-
- MDCD10 (.MD files) doesn't support comments.
- LHarc 1.14b doesn't really support comments. Yet, anyway.
- NOAH doesn't support comments.
- LUE220 (.LBR files) doesn't support comments.
- .z (Unix) format doesn't support comments.
-
- Caveats:
-
- FileMark doesn't check for file extensions when it feeds commands to the file
- compressor. If you have some PAKs mixed with ZIPs and you're doing ZIP
- comments, PKzip will grumble about things. If you have files in your file
- list that don't exist, PKarc will create files with those names. (for shame!)
