Additional Utilities
NetBase now additionally offers the QUARK+ and NBCOPY utilities.
Note. The NBCOPY and QUARK+ utilities must be purchased separately.
QUARK+
QUARK+ is an enhanced version of the QUARK utility. It works like QUARK, but has additional
functionality. The following example adds all files in the JOB group to the PURGEME.PUB.PROD
quark file.
:HELLO MGR.PROD,JOB
:COPY PURGEME.LIB.NETBASE,PURGEME.PUB
:RUN QUARK.LIB.NETBASE;INFO=“A PURGEME.PUB @.JOB”
This example copies the quark file to another system, and extracts just the files that qualify as
@.JOB.PROD into the group JOB of the local account OPER. By specifying the P in XP, you can
instruct QUARK to purge any existing copies and replace them with ones from the quark file.
:REMOTE :SYSB
SYSB: HELLO MGR.OPER,PUB
SYSB: DSCOPY PURGEME.PUB.PROD:SYSA
SYSB: QUARK.LIB.NETBASE;INFO=“XP -GJOB PURGEME @.JOB.PROD”
Note. When QUARK fails, it sets a JCW named CJCW to 1.
QUARK+ Features
The following section lists QUARK+ features.
• QUARK+ handles very large files (>60000 sectors), unlike QUARK which often gets "crc" errors
when unquarking big files.
• Handles every kind of file (except SPOOL files).
• Has both QUARK and QUARK9 integrated into one program.
• Stores and restores accounting structure, passwords, capabilities etc.
• Runs only on 4.0 and later releases of MPE/iX.
