VERIFILE - Verify Contents of a File ------------------------------------ This program verifies the contents of a file. It may be used prior to patching a file, for example. Command Syntax - VERIFILE fileid Notes - 1. Verification data is read from the standard input device (usually redirected) until a blank line is read. Each line has the form: <+>offset data<,data,...> <* comments> Where "offset" is the starting byte offset in the file (a leading plus sign is optional) and "data" is an even number of hex digits supplying multiple bytes of data to be checked. For improved readability, commas may be inserted at any point (following an even number of hex digits). Lines beginning with an asterisk ("*") are considered to be comments and are ignored. Also, comments may follow the data on a line. As input is read, it is echoed to standard output. Use the "/QUIET" option to suppress this. 3. Successful comparison results in a DOS return code of 0 and a nice message. A mismatch results in a DOS return code of 1 and a nasty message. Any other error returns a value of 2.
