DCL_DIET, UTILITIES, Charlie Hammond's unsupported DCL dieter [The following also appears near the beginning of DCL_DIET.COM and DCL_DIET.COM_SOURCE.] ************************************************************** This procedure "DIETs" a command procedure file -- compressing it by removing comments and unnecessary space. This saves file space and improves execution time. It may also remove comments that you don't want users to see. To run this procedure, enter command $@DCL_DIET where is the input command procedure is the "DIETed" output file ( may also be in the form "/OUTPUT=" If you use DCL_DIET frequently, you may wish to assign a symbol in your LOGIN.COM file to execute DCL_DIET. For example, if the DCL_DIET.COM is in you LOGIN default directory, you might put the following in your LOGIN.COM: $ DCL_DIET :== "@SYS$LOGIN:DCL_DIET" Alternatively, if you put DCL_DIET.COM in SYS$SYSTEM, you might put the following in your SYS$SYLOGIN (which is normally SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM): $ DCL_DIET :== "@SYS$SYSTEM:DCL_DIET" If the translation of the logical name DCL$DIET_DOTDOT is true, then this version adds a space a the beginning of a line that starts with ".". This is to overcome a problem with SMTP mail in Compaq TCP/IP services so that TCP/IP V5.3-18's SMTP won't double the "." **************************************************************
