CWBLOCK by Cory Wright - Copr. 1990, Cory Wright - for use w/ GTPower 12.00+

v1.00 April 12, 1990

Purpose
-------
CWBLOCK writes 0 byte files in your upload directory that correspond
to each file in your other directories, effectively blocking duplicate
uploads.

Execution
---------
CWBLOCK is easy to start up. Simply pass it the name of your upload
directory like this:

CWBLOCK C:\UPLOAD

Operation
---------
CWBLOCK erases all 0 byte files present in your upload directory that
were possibly left over from the last time you ran CWBLOCK. This
ensures that all the new files that are written are accurate with the
files on your drive. CWBLOCK proceeds to read in your GTDIR.BBS file
and look at each file in each directory. Then, CWBLOCK writes a 0 byte
file to the upload directory you specified. CWBLOCK will skip the
directory you specify on the command line if it occurs in your GTDIR.BBS
file so that it won't rewrite the 0 byte files already written.

Use on networks
---------------
Since CWBLOCK is always reading and writing to the disk, and creating
new files in directories, CWBLOCK does not, and never will, work on a
LAN (Local area network). Please be sure all nodes are down before
using CWBLOCK.
