About FSec Cleaner
This is a program I threw together in ZBasic to check out my Host 2.0
FileSections. It prompts you to open a FileSection, then checks each
entry in that section. If the entry is marked deleted, it asks you if
you want to delete the file pointed to by the entry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Warning **
If you tell FSec Cleaner you want to delete a file, it will indeed
delete that file. To minimize accidents, this response requires a
carriage return before it takes effect, so you can backspace over
your "y" response and change it to "n". Incidentally, if you try to
delete a file which doesn't exist, no problem. The program continues
without a hiccup.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respond to the deletion inquiry with either a "Y" or "N" (upper or lower
case doesn't matter) and a carriage return.
As it goes through the FileSection, it checks each entry to make sure it
points to an existing file. If no file is found, the entry is marked
deleted and the program displays the message
Couldn’t find [path:filename]
where [path:filename] is the location of the file contained in the
FileSection. The program then asks if you want to set the entry as
deleted (or you can elect to Quit processing the FileSection).
When it has finished checking the FileSection, if any entries are marked
for deletion FSec Cleaner asks if you want to back up the FileSection.
If you answer "y" or "Y", FSec Cleaner renames the original file with an
extension of ".BAK" and copies the not-marked-for-deletion entries to a
newly-created FileSection with the original name. Then you are asked if
you want to delete the backup file (the one with the .BAK extension).
I wrote this to help me through the long days and nights until we get a
Host 2.0-compatible version of FSP from Tom Konantz. It's no substitute
for the flexibility of FSP, but it's better than nothing (and may be
useful to those poor souls who've been frightened off of FSP ).
