Rather, they are commercial programs. The cost of the LANDMARK UTILITIES package is $29.95. Companies wishing to bundle any or all of these program should contact Landmark Software for bundling prices. Dealers should ask about our DealerPak. Corporate users should contact us about multiple copy agreements and site licenses. [b]What Does RENAME Do?[] Landmark's RENAME command is an enhanced version of the DOS RENAME command. The syntax is exactly the same. The most important difference--and the reason for creating a new version of RENAME--is that the archive bit of each renamed file is turned on. This assures that the renamed file will be backed up under its new name by backup programs that use the archive bit to determine which files require backup--such as Landmark's LBACKUP package. Another difference is that Landmark's RENAME command lists the old and the new names if you use a '*' or '?' wildcard as part of the source or target filespec. [b]How Do I Install Landmark's RENAME?[] Because RENAME is normally an internal DOS command, you'll need to use the RENPATCH program to install a patch to COMMAND.COM. See the RENPATCH documentation for instructions. This will assure that everyone will use Landmark's RENAME command automatically and transparently. Then just copy RENAME.COM to your utility directory--any directory on your path will do. (If you are the only user of the computer, an alternative is to use some other name for Landmark's RENAME.COM. In that case you don't have to patch COMMAND.COM. But that requires that you remember to always use the new name: Any files that you rename with the internal DOS command will not be properly backed up. So we highly recommend using RENPATCH to apply the patch--it only takes a few seconds and can be removed just as easily.)
