Prgm: CRUNCH v2.3 filename date, etc. Verbose / / / Usage: CRUNCH {du:} {du:} { [id] } { /Q | /V | /C} \ \ \ \ source destination Quiet Confirm Items in curly brackets are optional (namely everything except for the filename). The two optional 'du:' specs may be of the form DU:, UD:, D: or U: where D is any legal drive letter, and U is a user code from '0' thru '15' inclusive. The colon must be typed. The first 'du:' specifies where the filename '' is located, and it should immediately precede the with no intervening blanks if it is used. If no drive is specified, the default (currently logged) drive is assumed. The same is true for the user code. The filename may contain the ambiguous (wildcard) characters '?' or '*' if desired. The second 'du:', which has the same form as the one described above, is an optional drive specifier where the output will be directed. No filename may follow the the second 'du:' - the filename will be generated automatically (see below). As above, if either part of the 'du:' spec is not included (or if the spec is left out altogether) appropriate defaults will be used. The resulting file will have the same name as the crunched file, except that the middle letter of the extension will be converted to "Z". If the original file's extension was blank, or already had a "Z" in the middle, then a filetype of "ZZZ" will be used. [id] is an optional "date stamp" (or other information), used to identify the file. If used, [id] consists of any text contained between a pair of square brackets (ie the brackets must actually be typed). The text contained in [id] will be recreated at the console for the operator's reference when the file is later uncrunched. Three command line options, "/Q", "/V" or "/C", are available. If used, the option should be last on the command line, and the "/" must be preceded by a space. Although the technical usage above implies only one letter may be used, rev 2.3 will accept any two options. Other combinations, which would include both Q and V, are contradictory. "/Q" and "/V" will "quiet down" a version of CRUNCH which has been configured to be "verbose", or cause a "verbose" run of a program normally configured to be "quiet". This relates to the amount of information sent to the console while the function is in progress. "/C", the confirm option, is used for selective crunching. Norm- ally used in conjunction with wildcard filespecs, this option causes the program to ask "Y/N" for each matching file. Only the files to which "Y" is responded will be crunched. Selecting this option causes the program to automatically ask for additional confirmation if a pre-existing file is about to be overwritten, regardless of the program's configuration. Prgm: UNCR v2.3 filename Quiet Confirm / / / Usage: UNCR {du:} {du:} { /Q | /V | /C} \ \ \ source destination Verbose All usage, options, and patches are identical to CRUNCH, de- scribed above, except that no [id] can be specified. Also note that the that the resulting filename will be recreated from the name of the file that was originally crunched. It is not necessary that the file to be uncrunched have "Z" as the middle letter of the extension; an attempt will be made to uncrunch any filename explicitly specified. Note however that "UNCR *.*" will be internally converted to "UNCR *.?Z?" to facil- itate quickly uncrunching all crunched files in a mixed group.
