- _V_m_s_p_r_e_p traverses hierarchies of files and prepares them for
- transportation to VMS. Since ANSI standard tapes (the VMS standard) do
- not allow hierarchy, this program provides a method of flattening the
- hierarchy onto a tape in such a way that it can be unpacked on VMS to
- recreate the same tree structure.
-
- For reasons best not described here, _v_m_s_p_r_e_p will attempt to exclude all
- RCS and SCCS archives by ignoring all files or directories named 'RCS' or
- 'SCCS', or files starting with 's.' or ending in ',v'.
-
- The output of _v_m_s_p_r_e_p is a pair of files vmsprep.namelist and UNPACK.COM.
- vmsprep.namelist is a list of files to be placed on the tape in the
- format required by _a_n_s_i_t_a_p_e. If the first argument is '-' instead of a
- file or directory name, vmsprep will instead send the namelist to
- standard output, and place UNPACK.COM in /tmp to avoid attempting to
- write in the current directory. All of the files except UNPACK.COM will
- be placed on the tape under cryptic names. UNPACK.COM is a VMS command
- script which will recreate all of the necessary directories and then move
- the cryptically named files to their proper place.
-
- A typical sequence would be:
- vmsprep - tree1 tree2 file | ansitape cln trees -
- _T_h_e_n _o_n _t_h_e _V_M_S _m_a_c_h_i_n_e
- mount MFA0: trees
- copy MFA0:*.*.* *

- A warning is reported if a file or directory name contains a character
- not permitted in VMS names. The offending character is replaced by 'Z'
- and _v_m_s_p_r_e_p continues.

- Extra periods in file names may not be dealt with optimally.
-
- All files and directories to be moved must be descendants of the current
- working directory. Absolute path names and paths containing ".." will
- produce unpredictable results.

-
- Since vmsprep uses find(1) internally, it does not follow symbolic links.
-
- The exclusion of RCS and SCCS files should be controlled by a command
- line flag.
-
- Assumes VMS v4.0 or greater for long file names.
