FILL Description

The FILL application was designed to be a small program that will help you move or copy files off a hard disk while reducing the amount of wasted space on the destination disks. Internally, it does this by sorting the file names so the largest files are moved/copied first. It then moves or copies whatever files can fit on the floppy, skipping any that can't. Main features: Can either move or copy the files to the resulting location. Defaults to moving files if parameters passed in; prompts otherwise. Can continue to multiple diskettes as desired, beeping if desired when the next disk is expected. Can move the files in file name order or in any of the other standard ordering sequences. Can be used to split up files which are too big to fit on a single disk. Works fine for network transfers where standard MOVE command doesn't always work. Works fine on Iomega ZIP drives and other DOS-level compatible removable media. Can create a status/transaction file, showing what was copied / moved. Can label the output diskette, providing some patterns like disk sequence numbers and dates which it will fill in for you. Can review and delete if desired any files which are already in the output destination (for example, already on the output diskette). Can reformat the whole disk if files are going to drive A or B. Can specify an input file ("@listfile") which contains the files to be copied. Can specify multiple files to copy/move from the command line. For example: FILL (*.B* *.HTM *.ZIP) A: The date format shown in reports is based on your country setting. Pressing escape stops the program early.
