NAME
     nchange.tos - change the number of network rooms shareable
     per net node

SYNOPSIS
     nchange <newsize>

DESCRIPTION
     Nchange will expand or shrink the maximum number of allowed
     shared rooms.  Give it the desired new size on the command
     line, and nchange will munch away on your network file,
     ctdlnet.sys.  When finished it will remind you to change
     ctdlcnfg.sys as necessary and run configur.tos.  If you
     don't, your system will explode in flames.  Don't try it to
     find out.

     Nchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
     ctdltabl.sys file.

OPTIONS
     <newsize>
          The desired new number of shared room slots.  There
          must be at least 1 and no more than 999.

NOTES
     If the number of shared rooms is being decreased, nchange
     will first check the existing shared rooms for each network
     node, to make sure that the requested compression can be
     done.  If too many rooms are being shared with any one node,
     nchange will complain and permit you to abort the process,
     or compress things to the smallest available size.

     Please remember, as usual, to backup your system before you
     run this.  If you don't and something happens, don't call
     us, or we'll call you several nasty things.
