Version 1.1 of these utilities bring a few changes. They are explained in the
associated TXT files, but basically they are as follows: The two programs that
mark files in the NEWFILES database as deleted, NUKE and DUP, also create a
text file called DELETED.FIL containing a list of the filenames, filedate, BBS
ID and description of the files they marked. The text file will also tell you
the date you ran the program, and whether or not they were 'dups' or 'nuked'.
In addition, the files marked as deleted are also 'tagged'. This allows
viewing them all together in the NEWFILES list. NUKE will now accept command
line parameters, so you can run it from a batch file. If you're using version
2.0 of Robo, NUKE will search the entire description for matches, not just the
first 45 characters. Unfortunately, for NUKE, version 3.0 of Robocomm brings
with it a new method of handling the extended descriptions. So, as soon as you
update to 3.0, NUKE will be back to searching just the first 45 characters. On
the subject of Robocomm 3.0, NUKE and DUP are completely compatible with the
new database. The only difference you'll notice is the textfile DELETED.FIL
will only contain the first 45 characters of the description. All four of the
utilities will detect which version of Robo you're using, and act accordingly.
PACK will not be compatible with 3.0's new structure and will refuse to run.
