- RESIZE is a file reconfiguration program for Ward
- Christensen's Maillist programs written in BASIC-E (RESIZE3
- modified by myself for use by Ham Radio Clubs.) Use RESIZE2
- for files keyed on the name, RESIZE3 for files keyed on Amateur
- Radio Call-sign. RESIZE re-sizes the file. For example, if
- you have 128 records and find yourself with a need for more,
- you may use RESIZE to convert the file to a different size. It
- is a good idea to use increments of 128 since CP/M sets up
- directories 128 sectors at a time.
-
- You will be prompted for the filenames and new file
- length. The program will take a certain amount of time to run
- since it has to perform a great many disk accesses. If you are
- converting from a "name key" format to a "call-sign key" format
- using RESIZE3, changing the READ #1 statement after line 11
- will enable you to re-key on call-signs. Just reverse the
- NAME$(N) and CALL$(N) fields. The file will be re-written
- indexed by call-sign.
