Copyrights: XHatch, XHatch.doc and the format of XTick.cfg are all, Copyright (c) 1995 by Robert Williamson, FIDONET#1:167/104.0 XHatch is a front-end for Xtick to handle hatching of files already in the target path. It does not use the XTick config file. Template: TOHATCH/A,AREA/A,INC/K,MAGIC/K,DEBUG/S,NOEXE/S,NEW/S,AGE/K TOHATCH fullpathname of file to hatch or FILESPEC including path for NEW AREA file area TOHATCH MUST be in AREA NEW hatch only files matching TOHATCH filespec, in AREA, AGE days old or less AGE age of files for NEW INC fullpathname of .TINC or .README file MAGIC magic file name DEBUG verbose mode NOEXE disables writing TINC and executing XTick TINC files and Aminet README's: If the fullpathname of a .TINC or .README file is specified on the command line, it will be read and used by XTick. If a .TINC file is NOT specified and an AmiNet .README file exists for the TOHATCH in the same path, it will be read and a .TINC file will be created for use by Xtick. Any old .TINC will be over-written. The Aminet .README will also be copied to the current TOHATCH name. eg: if TOHATCH is XHATCH010.LHA, and XHATCH.README exists, XHATCH010.README and XHATCH010.LHA.TINC will be created. If XHATCH010.README exists, it will be used to create XHATCH010.LHA.TINC. Hatch New: XHatch fullpath/#?.lha NEW AGE This function can be used to hatch new files from the destination directory of the configured fileecho. If any new files are found in the destination directory, they will automatically be hatched if they are AGE days old or less and do not have the Archive bit set. The file descriptions will be taken from the filenotes or .TINC files. AREA This field contains the tagname of the fileecho. TOHATCH This field contains the fullpath and file specification that will trigger this function. use #? for all new files. AGE Limits hatch new to files less or equal to number of days.
