- >>>> IMPORTANT - READ THIS BEFORE USING PROGRAM <<<<<
-
- MACRM is a program to make the removal of file entries from PCBoard
- Directories fast, efficient and simple.
-
- MACRM is given a list of unwanted filenames and a listing of the
- location of your PCBoard Directories. MACRM then will proceed to remove
- all the FILES from the appropriate PCBoard Directory listings.
-
- PCB_filer is easy to use but I find the process can drive me crazy
- if I have alot of files to process. I tend to clean my BBS directories
- often to ensure that I have ONLY the latest versions of the many changing
- shareware/PD files available. I do this by making a single listing
- of all my files and scan through these deleteing the old/unwanted versions.
- I just don't delete them however, I have a macro set up to store the
- unwanted files in a separate file (file1) then I use MACKILL to locate
- and delete the files and I use MACRM to delete them from my listings.
-
- It is extreamly fast and efficient and makes .BAK files of each dir
- listing BEFORE its processed.
-
-
- The syntax for using MACRM follows:
-
- MACRM file1 file2
-
- Where: MACRM Is the name of the program
- file1 Is a list of files to be deleted
- file2 Is a list dir files to process
-

- ║ History ║
- ╚═════════╝
-
- Version 1.1 10 Jan 1993
-
- o Fixed string padding on filename, caused
- some files to be missed. Didn't hurt anything
- but you had to run it again.
- o Added Color
- o Added auto ANSI.SYS detection for display of color
- if ANSI.SYS (or something of equal functionality)
- is loaded then the product runs in color.
- o Added output, to show which files are removed,
- which directories are being processed, etc.
- o Now Compiled using the 286 instruction set. Had to
- change this because alot of people only had 286's
- A 386 version is obtainable via my BBS, just log
- on and ask for it and I'll throw one together.
-
- Version 1.0 28 August 1992
