Short: Update to Dave Haynie's original program Author: robert@tvinet.com (Robert Hardy) Uploader: robert@tvinet.com (Robert Hardy) Type: util/batch BindNames V2.0 by Dave Haynie (Ver 36.19 modified for AmigaDOS 2.04+ By Robert Hardy) BindNames is a rather simple hack I came up with to solve the "Assign" problem. Like most folks with large hard disks containing lots of different programs, my Startup-Sequence was starting to get full of Assign statements. While that alone isn't necessarily enough to make most go out and write a program, I was starting to think of this as an inelegance. Nearly every other new program I installed onto my system needed a new set of logical names, and so for every new program I ended up having to edit my Startup-Sequence. I also had to pay attention to the ordering of Assignments, since obviously I couldn't base an assignment on one that hadn't been made yet. The end result was that the Startup Sequence was getting rather ugly, with no sign of change on the immediate horizon. Since problems should be solved by those who see them, I came up with BindNames. BindNames is designed to do all of the logical name assignments you need at once. It looks for any number of files in the directory "SYS:Names". ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 12700 8100 36.2% 05-Nov-95 18:40:58 BindNames 6 6 0.0% 05-Nov-95 18:40:24 BindNames_rev.rev 2648 1115 57.8% 05-Nov-95 18:40:14 Makefile 3814 1874 50.8% 05-Nov-95 18:40:12 ReadMe 192 142 26.0% 05-Nov-95 18:40:16 SCOPTIONS 16007 5614 64.9% 05-Nov-95 18:40:14 BindNames.c 10574 3803 64.0% 05-Nov-95 18:40:18 BindNames.c.org 1552 804 48.1% 05-Nov-95 18:40:16 BindNames.h 195 113 42.0% 05-Nov-95 18:40:24 BindNames_rev.h 3708 1480 60.0% 05-Nov-95 18:40:12 Icon.c 3478 1019 70.7% 05-Nov-95 18:40:18 ReadMe.info 3020 1534 49.2% 05-Nov-95 18:40:18 ReadMe.org 511 247 51.6% 05-Nov-95 18:40:20 TestOff.info 500 235 53.0% 05-Nov-95 18:40:20 TestOn.info 77 66 14.2% 07-Aug-95 18:16:42 +test -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 58982 26152 55.6% 02-Dec-95 16:54:58 15 files
