- About Copy…
-
- Copy is a Tabby NetMail-compatible utility designed to take a snapshot of
- any text file before it's been processed by Tabby. To set it up, do the
- following:
-
- 1> Use ResEdit to modify STR resources 500-502 as follows:
-
- STR 500 contains the name of your Host application
- STR 501 contains the name of the file to be copied
- STR 502 contains the name of the copy
-
- Then insert the Copy application in your Tabby Event chain, just before
- your target file is modified. In my case, I use it to take snapshots of
- Generic Export and Generic Import, so I run two copies of it, one just
- after TabbyNet DeliverMail and one just before TabbyNet Sendmail and
- TabbyNet Sendnews.
-
- Copy appends the date and time to the copies it makes, so they don't
- overwrite each other and they also give you a chronological trail to
- follow. You can have Copy save the files to a separate volume or folder
- by including a proper path in the name of the copy.
-
- You can also use Copy to back up text files (it works *only* on text
- files) such as the CallerLog, though it's not the most efficient backup
- utility since it creates so many separate files.
-
- Copy was written in LightSpeed Pascal.
