PCifySite ShareWare

The introductory window, select what to PCify by dragging it.

The features are:

• Will convert file and directory names to...
  • UPPER CASE
  • DOS-style eight character name with three character extension
  • Will convert accented characters to non-accented
    For example, "èãsïérßlongname/html" would become "EASIERSL.HTM".
• Will convert "a href" markers and "img src" markers within web pages to the corresponding upper case/8.3 format.
• Is smart enough to retain '#' offset references in URLs.
• Is smart enough to NOT convert external http or ftp references, and mailto references.
• Will chunk-copy files that are not HTML (&FAF); no need to process a JPEG! :-)
• Option to not copy archive files - useful if, for example, you wish to copy only the visible content for testing.
• Easy to use
• Filename generation works by truncating filenames. Filenames should be unique within eight characters.

PCify lets you know what it is doing, and estimates the time remaining.

• Can better handle unrecognised file types (such as .raw).
• Can handle .htaccess files in subdirectories.
• Can handle <a href="#offset"> type links.
• Allocates a buffer large enough to contain the largest HTML file, and processes wholly in memory - for maximum processing speed.
• Non-HTML files are chunk-copied, for speed.
• Memory shifting routines are hand-coded assembler.
• Filetype mappings are user-definable.
• Friendlier reports.
• Option to not copy archive files - useful if, for example, you wish to copy only the visible content for testing.
• Handles any (reasonable) number of subdirectories and extended filenames.
  Two different file naming methods:
  1. Simply truncate the filename to eight characters, and add the extension.
     Filenames should be unique, as "workfile1" and "workfile2quot; would both become "workfile".
  2. Truncate the filename to the first six and last two characters. This is often a more workable option, but can result in some odd filenames.
• Uses MimeMap in conjunction with internal Mappings for best control of the extensions to apply.

  ShareWare release . . . 1 minute, 34 seconds
  Registered release  . . 44 seconds

The registered version is more than twice as fast at PCifying.

My entire website (17,937,352 bytes) was converted, from a harddisc to a PC partition file, on my RicPC700. The alternative naming method was used, and archive files were not copied. All 1285 files were scanned, and the 1155 files that were not archives were PCifyied (as I write this) in 14 minutes and 19 seconds.

New! Site licences available for large networks in educational or commercial (et cetera) enviroments. However, for use on a private bedroom/home network, no site licence is required.
