A former co-worker of mine had a nifty paragraph he wrote which would edit, compile, catalog and run a program in one fell swoop.
Because I detest wasting time with repetitive tasks, I've written a similar program which also copies the current version of a program to a backup file in case I trash it, or want to revert to a previous version. EDBP [program.name] does the following: 1. Copies [program.name] to a backup directory (e.g. LOUIEB.BP) with a name of program.name:"_":date():"_":time():"_".bak" 2. Executes ED LOUIEB.BP program.name 3. Executes BASIC and CATALOG commands unless I say no to a prompt. 4. Executes the cataloged command unless I say no to a prompt. This is the poor dude's version control program. -- Louie In Seattle ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
