Short: MegaCatCheck v1.0 Checks Xeno's filecat for existance of files Author: David Huckett 3:640/800.0 @Fidonet Uploader: Brendan Pratt Type: comm/xeno Architecture: m68k-amigaos Recently I had a hard drive failure and had to rebuild my system from as usual old outdated backups from tapes and floppies.. Backing up is one of those tasks I always seem to put off until later.. Usually much later and in most cases too late. :( While restoring and rebuilding my file bases I thought of this quick hack that will do a scan of all your configured section directories and let you know two things... 1. The names of all the files that it finds in your Section directories that are NOT found in Xenolink's file cat. This will allow you to use the list to add the files found if you desire. 2. The names of all the files in your Xenolink file cat that are not found in their respective directories on your drive(s). You can also use this list to remove the names from the filecat or locate the missing files and place them in the correct directory. The code is very basic and is run from the CLI. It may also run as a CLI Door from within Xeno and can be stopped by hitting CTRL C. I have never tried it from within Xeno. It will direct it's output to the shell you started it from or you can re-direct it with the normal dos re-direction command. eg. MegaCatCheck >Ram:Report.txt
