     NOPE (V1.2-1)   H         NOPE was born out of the need for a way to see which files wouldH         be purged and the number of disk blocks freed if an actual purgeH         were to be done. NOPE uses the same file specification syntax as@         the PURGE command. NOPE also provides a nearly identical'         output format to that of PURGE.   D         As shown below, NOPE supports many of the same qualifiers asC         PURGE. Additionally, the /BEFORE and /SINCE qualifiers will C         accept an absolute or delta time or the following keywords: =         BOOT, LOGIN, TODAY (default), TOMORROW, or YESTERDAY. C         Specify /BACKUP, /CREATED (default), /EXPIRED, or /MODIFIED ;         with /BEFORE and /SINCE for comparison date values.         Parameters:  C         NOPE accepts one parameter, a VMS filespec. If omitted, the *         default filepath plus *.* is used.        Qualifiers   D         /BACKUP - if present, modifies the time value specified with4                 the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier.  C         /BEFORE[=time] - if present, selects only those files dated ,                 prior to the specified time.  E         /CREATED - if present, modifies the time value specified with 4                 the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier.  E         /EXPIRED - if present, modifies the time value specified with 4                 the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier.  A         /KEEP=n - Specifies the maximum number of versions of the @                 specified files to be retained in the directory.  F         /MODIFIED - if present, modifies the time value specified with4                 the /BEFORE or the /SINCE qualifier.  B         /SINCE[=time] - if present, selects only those files dated)                 after the specified time.   "         /HELP - Displays this text  5         /VERSION - NOPE displays version, build date, ;                 and required privs for VMS Install utility.   D     This is a new release of the NOPE (NO PurgE) originally from theF     VAX87C Fall 1987 VAX SIG DECUS tape. Much of the original code hasG     been replaced by my own code, primarily to simplify maintaining the I     code subsequent to adding command line parsing and substantial output I     formatting changes. The original code is available in this archive in 5     the directory ORIG_NOPE.DIR for those interested.    @     This application must be relinked if the current VMS version+     is upgraded to version 7.3-2 or higher.          
