- COMBINE.COM v2.10
- by Ralf Brown
- 22 March 1998
-
- COMBINE.COM will concatenate all of the partial files in the interrupt
- list distribution archives into a single master file for interrupts and
- a single master file for I/O ports, which is required by some viewers
- and hypertext conversion programs.
-
- To use COMBINE, just change to the directory into which you extracted
- the distribution archives, and type
-
- COMBINE {dir} (for interrupts)
- and then
- COMBINE -p {dir} (for ports)
-
- where {dir} is the name of the directory in which you want the combined
- list to be stored (typically, you will type "COMBINE ." to store the
- result in the same directory as the individual sections). If there is
- not enough free disk space to hold both the individual sections and the
- combined list, you will be told and given the option of running COMBINE
- again with an option to tell it that it should delete each section as
- it is added to the combined file:
-
- COMBINE -d {dir}
-
- COMBINE will skip any missing sections of the interrupt list; if at
- least one section other than INTERRUP.A (PORTS.A with -p) is present,
- it will stop as soon as the last section has been processed (otherwise,
- it will continue trying all names through INTERRUP.Z/PORTS.Z). On
- completion, it sets the combined file's timestamp to be the same as
- that of the last of the individual sections.
-
- System Requirements:
- DOS 2.0+ or a DOS compatibility box
- 64K available RAM
- a copy of the interrupt list :-)
- sufficient free disk space (~360K with the -d option)
