DOG
Create a rename script
to unmangle the ms-dog
filenameing convention
Version 1.1
--
If you have net access on a unix box, but have to transport software
through an ms-dos machine to get is to your amiga, no doubt you hate
the fact that ms-dog cannot support full amiga filenames.
This is no longer a problem now that you have DOG.
Compile DOG on your local unix box, and then run it with the command
line:
DOG [filenames]
DOG will create a file called !RENAME in the current directory and will
rename all the specified files to have names that are unique to a dos
machine.
Now transport the files to your amiga, via the dog-box and type the line
on your amiga:
Execute !RENAME
Now all your files are called what they were originally!
If you want to un-DOG the files on a unix box instead, then type:
/bin/csh !RENAME
And the files will be returned.
