- Well, this documentation is going to be quick and dirty.
-
- History:
-
- I convert all uploads to PAK because TBBS can examine them and it makes
- smaller files and ARC. But is seems users want to upload in whatever they can.
- So, I run a utility called ZZAP that converts any archived file to any other
- archived file and also scans for those darn viruses.
-
- ZZAP creates a file called FILES.FIX of all the archives it changed.
-
- Well, I have all the information I need so I wrote DIRFIX to handle this
- for me while I sleep. I do do that sometimes you know.
-
- Also, have you noticed that when users upload files, sometimes they type
- in the filename in lower case. Well DIRFIX will convert the filenames up
- upper case for you if you wish.
-
- So, how do you use it? Well, first you run ZZAP from the directory that
- has the files you want converted. ZZAP will create a file called FILES.FIX
- in that directory. Now you run DIRFIX. It uses FILES.FIX to know what
- filenames to change. By default, it uses FILES.DIR as the pseudo directory.
-
- You may tell it what pseudo directory to use and to convert to upper case
- by the following command:
-
- DIRFIX NEW.DIR -U
-
- where NEW.DIR is the name of the pseudo directory and -U tells it to
- convert to upper case. By just running DIRFIX with no commands, it will look
- in the current directory for FILES.FIX and if it finds it, it will change
- the filenames.
-
- Well, that's all for now. Any questions and comments are welcome. Also
- any changes you need will be put in if I can do it.
