Short: Multiple $VER comparison and copy tool.
Author: sys2jal@doc.ntu.ac.uk
Uploader: sys2jal@doc.ntu.ac.uk
Type: util/cli
Ever had to go through a load of new files, checking their
version $ and then copying them to your harddrive if they are newer
than the ones you already have? If so, you will know how boring and
tedious it can be.
MultiVer will take care of this process and compare files in a
source directory with those in a destination directory. If any newer
files are found you will have the option of copying them over the old
versions.
Once again, this can be used well with Directory Opus to make the
process even easier..!
It just takes all the tedium out of updating your files!
** THIS PROGRAM NEEDS REXXMAST RUNNING! - READ THE DOCS **
1.2 Changes/Additions:
- Found a bloody annoying bug in 1.1. The program didnt work with OS2 &
OS3.0!!! No one reported the fact (I dont know!!!). The problem lied with
the FILE switch I started using with the 'version' command. Only the
OS3.1 version of the command works correctly with it! Basically it makes
the command read from file and not from memory if the file is currently
loaded. Anyway, the other versions dont work properly and so alot of
garbage was returned when running MultiVer on anything lower than 3.1!
- Added OS3.1 switch to make the program use the FILE switch with version.
