SPEWNEW.CMD

  I built this rexx routine to maintain the CIM image archive 
  (http://www.mining.ubc.ca/images).  It allows me to transfer the files that I build 
  on my local machine to the web site via FTP.  It works by looking for all files 
  in a subdirectory tree that have the archive bit set.  

  Every time that you create or edit a file, its archive bit gets set.  This is the 
  cue that SpewNew uses to know what to transfer.  After a file has been successfully
  transferred, it's archive bit is shut off to prevent it from getting transferred 
  again the next time you run SpewNew.


USAGE:

     SPEWNEW \LOCALDIR ftp.remote.ca/pub/remote [loginID] [password]

  where '\LOCALDIR' is the local directory root to begin searching down from
        'ftp.remote.ca' is the ftp server to reach 
        '/pub/remote' is the remote directory root on the remote server 
        [loginID] (optional) the login ID to use entering the FTP server
        [password] (optional) the password to use entering the FTP server

  All the files in \LOCALDIR and in all the files below it are searched for files
  to transfer.


REQUIREMENTS:

  You must have the IBM EWS rexx FTP module called "rxftp".  It is available
  on the internet from www.cdrom.com or from the IBM support
  bulletin boards.  

  On cdrom.com, download

RESET.CMD
  If you crash something while running SpewNew, you'll need to run RESET.CMD to
  free up your system resources prior to attempting another spew.


LIABILITY BULLSHIT

  This software is free, so you get what you pay for.  There are no guarentees
  that it will work for you, nor will the author or distributor be liable for
  any damage that it does to your system.  Because the source code is provided,
  any competent computer geek should be able to beat it into submission if the
  program misbehaves.

ENJOY!
