Short: Transf. via PC disks (2*faster, splits) Author: Marcin Orlowski , Tadek Knapik Uploader: Marcin Orlowski Version: 1.6 Type: util/misc Replaces: util/misc/SaveNames* Www: http://wfmh.man.szczecin.pl INTRODUCTION ------------------ Some people (like me) are forced to use pee-cee machines to transfer files from internet to my Amiga (it doesn't mean I've bought a pc for my own! I use (big word:) it only at my technical university). As you all know, no one needs more chars to name his files than 8.3, which seems to be a 'professional filename format'. Any other, longer names are obsolete and should be forbidden. Unfortunately both Amiga and Unix based machines use longer names for their files, so transfering files between those platforms via pc causes 90% of name (mainly dots :) to be eaten by pc. So I decided to cure this. SaveNames is the medicine against. LATEST CHANGES ------------------ * v1.6 - Fixed 'theoretical' bug which may caused SN to leave opened file. The bug was 'theoretical' as level2 files are automagically closed on program termination. But that was bug anyway. - Splitting uses now buffered IO. This should increase splitting performance at least twice. Default buffer size is 2KB which seems to be optimal. - Amiga binary recompiled with SAS\C 6.58 and optimized for size (time optimizer makes no sense in this case). - FREEBSD platform defined ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 272 56.6% 24-Oct-97 18:32:16 SaveNames1.6.info 1633 859 47.3% 24-Oct-97 18:09:10 SaveNames1.6.readme 22040 13183 40.1% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames 24248 6458 73.3% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames.c 483 275 43.0% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames.c.info 15939 6848 57.0% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames.doc 835 315 62.2% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames.doc.info 835 399 52.2% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames.info 19815 7612 61.5% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SaveNames.man 966 421 56.4% 24-Oct-97 18:32:14 +SD!.displayme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 87422 36642 58.0% 26-Oct-97 01:47:12 10 files
