XX MakeARC
XX Copyright ) 1988 by Bryan Ford
XX Documentation

XX MakeARC is a program I wrote to fix the two main drawbacks of ARC: No
XXsubdirectories, and short filenames only. What it does is searches through
XXan entire disk and directory, renames all the files to names like XFile.1,
XXXFile.2, etc., takes them out of any subdirectories they might be in,
XXdeletes the subdirectories, and at the same time, creates a file called
XXEXECUTE.ME containing all the information necessary to restore the
XXdirectory to its original form.
XX To use it, simply type "MakeARC <directory>" where <directory> is the
XXname of a directory or volume to use. When it completes, you will have one
XX"EXECUTE.ME" file and a bunch of "XFile.####" files. The person receiving
XXthe archive can then just unARC the file into a subdirectory and type
XX"EXECUTE EXECUTE.ME" to rebuild the original file structure. Also, a
XXREAD.ME file is written which tells how to rebuild the structure.
XX There are two things to be aware of. First, if you have a file called
XXEXECUTE.ME in the directory you passed to MakeARC, it will get overwritten.
XXFiles with this name in subdirectories will stay intact. Second, files
XXbeginning with "XFile." will not be seen, because MakeARC has to skip over
XXfiles it has already generated, and it thinks that all files with this
XXbeginning are files it generated.
XX MakeARC does no file copying - it simply renames the files. This means
XXthat file comments, time, and other attributes will be saved. If, for some
XXreason, it can't rename a file, it will display "Warning: Can't rename
XX<file>." if the file is in a subdirectory, you will also get a warning
XXstating that it can't delete the subdirectory, because it's not empty. The
XXfile will simply be ignored by MakeARC.
XX MakeARC requires very little room on the disk to operate. The only
XXextra space needed is space for the EXECUTE.ME and READ.ME files. This
XXwill usually be only a few blocks, so unless your disk is 99% full, MakeARC
XXwill probably succeed.
XX For EXECUTE.ME files to execute correctly, there are several files that
XXmust be in the c: directory: MakeDir, Rename, Run, Delete, and Echo. If
XXEcho is not present you will simply get a "unknown command echo" instead of
XXthe usual messages "Extracting..." and "Done." The other commands are
XXrequired for it to operate correctly. Of course, Execute must be in the c:
XXdirectory to execute EXECUTE.ME.
XX One switch is allowed, -n, which must be in lowercase, and must come
XXafter the pathname. If you include it, no READ.ME file will be generated,
XXand no instruction for deleting it will be put into the EXECUTE.ME file.
XXThis will also happen if there is not enough room on the disk for the
XXREAD.ME file (which will be rare, as it only takes 2 blocks). This file
XXsimply tells how to rebuild the file structure.
XX This program can handle a maximum of 9999 files. I haven't tested it
XXwith more than this - if you find this a serious limit please contact me.
XX This program is being distributed as Shareware. If you use it and like
XXit, a small contribution would be deeply appreciated. In any case, you are
XXencouraged to copy and share this program, as long as you supply the
XXprogram and its documentation in its original form. I can be reached for
