ZCHECK
File Directory Maintenance Utility
For Passkey Professional
and all BBS programs supporting
the standard file description format
as defined by most popular BBS programs
(c) 1990 - Zeblon Castel
Registration
------------
ZCHECK and all of the ZUTIL programs are free to the
public. The only thing I ask is that if you like and use
any of the ZUTIL programs, please pass the word on. If you
have the space on your system, please carry a copy of the
current release.
Introduction
------------
ZCHECK is a part of the ZUTIL set of file area
maintenance programs.
ZCHECK - Batch program used to update file
directory listings to insure proper
date and file size.
ZCOLOR - Batch program used to add color to
your file area listings.
ZFILE - Interactive program to allow the
moving and maintaining of file
listings and directories.
ZSORT - Batch program used to sort file
directory listings.
ZCHECK is a program designed to assist in the maintenance
of your Upload/Download directories on your system. ZCHECK
will scan your file area listings and verify the date and
size of the files contained in the list. It will update the
date and size to the correct values or with MISSING if the
file is not on the disk.
File Listing Format
-------------------
ZCHECK will allow you to sort your file area listings if
your file entries are in the following format:
Col Desc
-------------
1-12 Filename
15-21 File Size
24-31 File Date
32-80 File description. (Can continue for multiple
lines)
1-12 15-21 24-31 33 - 80
| -------- | | --- | | ---- | | ------------------------->
FILENAME.TYP 9999999 MM-DD-YY File description that can
| continue for an unlimited
| number of lines
Input
-----
ZCHECK requires as input a text file that will describe 2
things on each line. The default name for this file is
ZCHECK.DAT but an alternate name can be specified as an
option when you execute ZCHECK. (ex: ZCHECK myfile.dat.)
Each line of the input file should contain the fully
qualified name of the text file listing (in the format
previously described). Any text beyond the first
path\filename will be ignored. So, you can use the same
input file as was created for ZFILE, and/or ZSORT.
