RCHANGE(1) FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE RCHANGE(1)
NAME
rchange.tos - change the number of available Fnordadel rooms
SYNOPSIS
rchange <newsize>
DESCRIPTION
Rchange will expand or shrink the set of Fnordadel room
files, roomnnnn.sys. Give it the desired new size on the
command line, and rchange will munge away, creating or
deleting room files as required. When finished it will rem-
ind you to change ctdlcnfg.sys accordingly and run
configur.tos. If you don't, your system will die a horrible
death. Believe it. "Or not" is not an option.
Rchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
ctdltabl.sys file.
OPTIONS
<newsize>
The desired new number of rooms. There can be no fewer
than 3 active rooms (Lobby>, Mail> and Aide> are non-
negotiable), and no more than 9999.
NOTES
If the number of rooms is being decreased, rchange will
first check the rooms that will have to be deleted, to see
if they are in use or not. If any of them are in use,
rchange will complain and give you the option of aborting
the operation, or shrinking the number of rooms up to the
point where the last active room was found.
Please make a backup before you run this. Just Do It.
A future enhancement will allow rchange to shuffle rooms so
that all active rooms are contiguous. This will permit
greater compression than may be possible now.
FILES
rchange.tos The room resizer.
#roomdir\roomnnnn.sys The room files.
ctdltabl.sys The system tables file.
