- What is it ?
-
- This is an arexx script you can use to delete all files in ram disk.
-
-
- System requirements :
-
- Directory Opus 4.12
- Yes I don't like the 5.0 one. I could'nt try it with this new version of
- DirOpus but I don't think it will work.
-
-
- How does it work ?
-
- It deletes all files in ram: except the 'system directories'
- (Clipboards,ENV,T) and the icon file (Disk.info).
-
- It is fast because it uses the delete command from WorkBench instead of
- using DirOpus itself to select and to delete the unwanted files (like
- other scripts I found on Aminet)
-
- It is nice because it refreshes the display in the DirOpus windows to
- make you see the changes done by the delete action. And if you were in a
- directory which has been deleted, you go back to the root dir (RAM:).
-
- This is very usefull when you test PD stuff: you extract an archive in
- ram:, then you get in the directorie(s) created and then you decide to
- clean the ram disk to extract another archive. It is as simple as clicking
- a DirOpus button or selecting a menu item.
-
-
- Installation :
-
- If you are a DirOpus expert like me you are already trying this script,
- perhaps deleting this document (are you mad ?)
-
- But if you don't know well the DirOpus Configuration Program here is what
- you can do :
-
- - copy the file called 'rexxsupport.library' in your libs: directory
- - copy the file called 'configopus.clip' to the directory T
- you'll find in ram:
- - go to the configuration program.
- - go to the 'Buttons' menu or the 'Menus' one.
- - select a button / menu item you want to use to execute the
- cleanram.dopus script.
- - use the right mouse button to select in the menu the 'Paste' action.
- - select the 'Clean RAM' item and click OK.
- - then change the path to set it where you put the script
- (i.e hd0:s/cleanram... or rexx:cleanram...)
- - and save the config.
-
-
- Distribution :
-
- This script is completely FreeWare. You can make any change in it (just like
- adding the files you want to keep in the line (command delete ram:...))
-
- If you add features to the script, please report to me so I could use
- your enhancements. (use mail address above or the E-mail address in the
- .readme file thanks)
-
-
- History :
-
- I think this is the first and last release of this Arexx script.
-
-
- Thanks to Edmund Vermeulen (author of the LhaDir.dopus script I recommend)
-
- I don't know a word of Arexx language but his script was so detailed I
- could easily understand it and 'steal' information to write my own script.
- This is why I put a lot of comments in cleanram.dopus which can help you.
-
- Personnal note :
- Edmund I don't know if I had to ask you for some authorisations but I just
- wanted to help Amiga users releasing my script (I hope you don't mind (?)).
-
-
-
- Only Amiga makes it dreamable !
