- Documents to compare are either retrieved from the library or from
- a disk file.
-
- If LOCation is "L" enter the name of a library text file.
-
- If LOCation is "D" enter a disk filename.

- Enter in the pathname of the file(s) that you wish to add the library.
- The file(s) will be added to the library if either of the following
- conditions are met.
-
- 1) If no prior versions of the file exits in the library.
-
- 2) The last modification date on the file is more recent than
- the latest version in the library.
-
- The (?) and (*) wild card characters are supported in filenames and
- extensions. The (?) means that any character can occupy that position
- in a filename. The (*) means that any character can occupy that position
- OR any of the remaining positions in the filename.
-
- Example:
- *.doc - processes all files in the current directory with a doc ext.
- a*.doc - processes all files in the current directory starting with
- the letter a and with a .doc ext.
- ?.* - processes all one character files in current directory.

-
- A one line comment can be stored with each version of a text that
- is added to the library.
-
- When processing multiple files with wild cards, a single comment can
- be entered which is then stored with each Text added in that batch,
- you can be prompted individually for comments for each Text as it is
- added, or comment processing can be skipped for all file in the batch.
-
- Enter S:
-
- To be prompted for a single comment which will be applied to
- all Texts added.
-
- Enter D:
-
- To be prompted for different comments for each Text.
-
- Enter N:
-
- To skip comment processing.

-
- The ADD function prompts for disk file pathname(s) and adds them to
- the library. Only files whose modification date is greater than
- the corresponding text library version date are added.
-
- To add files to the library unconditionally use the FORCE option in
- the Utility menu.
-
- The use of <*> and <?> wild cards in pathnames is supported.
-
-
-
- `
-
- ~201
-
- The SELECT function is used to define a current text selection.
- This selection can then be used in the Xtract, Keyword, Report
- and Deletion functions to process groups of texts.
-
- Text selection is made by first moving the cursor to highlight the
- desired text and pressing the <+> key. Pressing the <-> key
- unselects the highlighted text. Pressing <F1> selects all texts,
- pressing <F2> unselects all texts and <F3> toggles all selections.
-
- Typing the name of text jumps the cursor to that text. The arrow keys,
- page_up and page_down move the cursor.
-
- Optionally, the SELECT function can be used to scroll through a
- library text on the screen by pressing <F4>.
-
- `
- ~202
- The KEYWORD function is used to maintain the association between
- keywords and library texts. Keywords can be used in the Extract,
- Delete and Report options to perform processing on groups of texts.
-
- Keywords can be associated with a specific version or with the
- latest version of a text. This latter type of keyword association
- floats to the latest version of a text as new versions are added.
-
- To Add or Delete Keywords:
- 1) Define a current selection of texts using the SELECT option.
- 2) Select one of the following version modes using the
- VERSION option:
- a) Last - maintains floating (latest version) keywords.
- b) All - maintains keywords associated with any version.
- c) Current - maintains keywords of latest version.
- d) Specific - maintains keywords for specific versions.
- 3) Delete or Add Keywords.
-
- !NOTE: KEYWORD maintenance is performed only on selected texts
- and their versions defined by the VERSION setting.
- `
-
- ~203
- XTRACT retrieves text versions from a library and writes them to files
- on disk.
-
- The text versions to be extracted can be identified by one of the
- following means:
-
- a) Current SELECTion and VERSION mode.
-
- b) KEYWORD
-
- c) A specified text and version.
-
- Full pathnames and wildcards <*> and <#> for output files are
- supported. The wild card <*> when used in place of a filename
- or extension denotes the respective text name or text extension.
- The wild card <#> when used in place of an extension is replaced
- by the version number of the text being extracted. This allows
- extraction of multiple versions of a text using one command.
- `
- ~204
- ATTIC provides the following two reports:
-
- 1) HISTORY REPORT
-
- Displays version create date, library update date and
- comments for all versions of selected texts. The text
- selection for the report is based upon a current
- SELECTion, a defined Keyword or specified text.
-
- 2) KEYWORD REPORT
-
- Displays listing of keywords and their associated
- texts and/or versions. Floating keywords are
- associated with version number <last>
- for their respective texts.
-
- The report can be sorted by keyword or text.
-
- Report output from either the HISTORY or KEYWORD reports can be
- directed to a screen or to an output file.
-
- `
-
- ~205
- VERSION defines which versions of SELECTed texts are processed by
- the KEYWORD and XTRACT options. The VERSION mode can be set to one
- of the following four values:
-
- Last - Denotes that the latest version, is to be processed.
- Keywords defined with this mode set are not associated
- with specific versions. Rather they "float" and
- associate with the latest text at any point in time.
-
- Current - Keywords are associated with the latest version.
- In contrast to "Last", if later versions are added, the
- keyword association does not "float" to the higher versions.
-
- All - All versions are selected. Used with KEYWORD and
- XTRACT options.
-
- Specific - A single version number is selected. Allows keywords
- to be associated with specific versions.
- `
-
- ~206
-
- COMPARE compares two files or texts and displays their differences
- highlighted on the screen.
-
- The objects to be compared can reside either in the library or on
- disk.
-
- When defining the objects to be compared you must specify whether
- their location is either in the <L>ibrary or on <D>isk. For library
- texts the version number and textname is entered. For disk files
- the appropriate pathname is entered.
-
-
- `
- ~207
- The Utility menu provides access to the following three options:
-
- 1. FORCE
-
- Unconditionally adds files to the library regardless of
- their date of last modification. This is in contrast,
- to the ADD option in the main menu which adds a file to the
- library only if its modification date is greater than the
- modification date of the latest version.
-
- 2. DELETE
-
- Deletes Texts or the current Library. Text deletion can
- be specified by current selection, specific text, or keyword.
-
- 3. Reorganize
-
- Recovers space in library files caused by deletions.
-
- `
-
- ~208
-
- Returns to main menu.
-
- `
-
- ~212
-
- Setting the Version mode to LAST causes the Keyword Option to
- create or delete "floating" keywords which always associate with
- the latest version of a text. Keywords defined in this manner
- do not need to be redefined as newer versions of a text are added to
- the library. They always point to the "latest" version.
-
- Keywords defined with this mode appear on Keyword reports as being
- associated with the version number "last" as opposed to any specific
- version number.
-
- These keywords can be deleted only if the Version mode is set to LAST.
-
- `
-
- ~213
-
- Setting the Version mode to ALL has the following effects on
- subsequent processing:
-
- 1) Any keywords added are associated with all versions of the
- selected texts.
-
- 2) Keywords associated with any version number of the selected
- texts are deleted by KEYWORD delete. This mode will not allow
- deletion of "floating" keywords which always relate
- to the latest version of a text.
-
- 3) Extracting library texts to disks under the current selection
- option of the XTRACT function will process all versions.
-
- (Be sure to use the <*> and/or <#> wildcards in defining the
- output filename to avoid attempting to overwrite the same disk
- file with multiple versions of the same text.)
- `
-
- ~214
- Setting the Version mode to CURRENT always selects the latest
- version number when processing SELECTED texts in the XTRACT or
- KEYWORD maintenance functions.
-
- Under the CURRENT Version mode any keyword additions are
- assigned to the latest version of the selected texts. As later
- versions are added the associations of these keywords
- DO NOT "float" to the later versions. This is in contrast
- to the LAST Version mode.
- `
-
- ~215
-
- The SPECIFIC Version mode prompts for and sets the Version Mode
- to a single version number.
-
- The primary function of this mode is to facilitate the assignment
- of keywords to prior versions of texts.
