RCHANGE(1)           FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE            RCHANGE(1)

NAME
     rchange.tos - change the number of available Fnordadel rooms

SYNOPSIS
     rchange <newsize>

DESCRIPTION
     Rchange will expand or shrink the set of Fnordadel room
     files, roomnnnn.sys.  Give it the desired new size on the
     command line, and rchange will munge away, creating or
     deleting room files as required.  When finished it will rem-
     ind you to change ctdlcnfg.sys accordingly and run
     configur.tos.  If you don't, your system will die a horrible
     death.  Believe it.  "Or not" is not an option.

     Rchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
     ctdltabl.sys file.

OPTIONS
     <newsize>
          The desired new number of rooms.  There can be no fewer
          than 3 active rooms (Lobby>, Mail> and Aide> are non-
          negotiable), and no more than 9999.

NOTES
     If the number of rooms is being decreased, rchange will
     first check the rooms that will have to be deleted, to see
     if they are in use or not.  If any of them are in use,
     rchange will complain and give you the option of aborting
     the operation, or shrinking the number of rooms up to the
     point where the last active room was found.

     Please make a backup before you run this.  Just Do It.

     A future enhancement will allow rchange to shuffle rooms so
     that all active rooms are contiguous.  This will permit
     greater compression than may be possible now.

FILES
     rchange.tos             The room resizer.
     #roomdir\roomnnnn.sys   The room files.
     ctdltabl.sys            The system tables file.
