This is relatively harmless, but it has existed since v1.18! If everyone
reports this, Tom may yet fix it!
CONFIGURATION:
None needed.
PURPOSE & FEATURES:
STR.DLDir.rexx
This program is intended for sysops only! It allows you to download
an entire directory of files. You simply give it a path to the
directory, ie NET:CD0/Pictures/ and it marks for download all the files
it finds in that directory.
If you press return at the path prompt or enter an invalid path, it
notifys you and exits.
When a valid path is given it reads in all files from that directory,
it even accounts for files with spaces in them. Then, using Excelsior!'s
ARexx MARKFILE command, all the files are marked for download.
When finished, the program exits, and you can use the DL command to
download the marked files.
I mainly use the program to download pictures from CD-ROM's on my 3000
to my 4000 for viewing. Using a null-modem connection at 38400 baud, this
is actually faster than both SerNet and ParNet.
HISTORY:
Version 1.01:
Now displays the total number of files marked.
Version 1.0:
First Public Release.
