Ray Van Tassle Motorola 1301 E. Algonquin Rd. Room 4135 Schaumburg, Ill. (312)-576-6017 I got an older copy of TRUNC, which I fixed up so that it is better that PIP /TR. I have set up the default file extend on my public disks to 10 blocks (to get better performance for editting, etc), and TRU runs every night to chop off all the wasted space. This version of TRU handles wildcard UIC's, plus it preserves the file creation & revision dates. ****************************************************************** editor's note: I appended Ray's file TRUNCATE.HLP so that the information on preserving creation and revision dates would be clearer. ******************************************************************** TRUNCATE (TRU) will truncate the allocated but unused blocks off the end of files. It only touches files that indeed have un-allocated blocks (unlike the PIP /TR switch) so it doesn't mess up the files revision date. Also, it preserves the file dates (creation & revision), so none get messed up. Filespec is like PIP's.
