Ciao a tutti :-)

SkyFreshen is a replacement for TPT's Freshen command.
The Freshen command is used to rebuild the File.Dat (a file index present in
all your file areas) reading all the area's xxx.fd.

SkyFreshen is *TOTALLY* Freeware, I don't want a penny if you use it!

SkyFreshen features :

- Much faster that TPT's Freshen
- Areas to be freshened can be specified on command line
- Can freshen without setting comments on files (faster)
- Can optionally delete non-existing entries from file areas
- Handles extended filepaths

SkyFreshen is very easy to use, command line options :
 
SkyFreshen v1.00 - by Luca Spada - Feb 22 1993

Usage:
SkyFreshen [DELETE] [NOCOM] [<ALL>] [<Low Area>-<Hi Area>] [<Area> <...>]
           [-<Area to skip> <...>]

 DELETE   - Delete non existing file entries
 NOCOM    - Does not set the ("FILE:xx/yy.fd") comment on files

Examples:

1> SkyFreshen DELETE 200-300 34-70 -50 -51

Will freshen areas from 200 to 300 and from 34 to 70 except 50 and 51 and
will delete non existing file entries

1> SkyFreshen NOCOM ALL -10

Will freshen all areas except area 10 and will not set the comment on 
processed files (this speed up SkyFreshen of 20-30%).


If  you  area  using  SkyFreq,  a  nice  idea would be to automatically
SkyFreshen the area where you put your File Lists.  When you generate a
new file list, it will lost its file comment and SkyFreq will be unable
to give information on that file.
