Hi Jorj,
(Monday April 13 1998 00:15) Jorj Strumolo to Gerald Miller about: orphaned 
descriptions
 JS>  Personally, I wouldn't.  I'd just redescribe the file.
 JS>  That process would prune the DESCRIPT.ION file in the
 JS>  unlikely event there are duplicates.  Or one could do
 JS>  ffind /a:h /v /t"*anti-vir.dat*" descript.ion
 JS>  That gets you a full list.  You could redirect that to a file,
 JS>  and then grab the penultimate word on the last line of that file:
 JS>  %@word[-1,[%@line[$di,%@lines[$di]]]    for the number of appearances
In addition, this list could be used to ONLY take safety-precautions before 
deleting ANTI-VIR.DAT in those directories where FFIND found the reference in 
DESCRIPT.ION ;-)
In other dirs, ANTI-VIR.DAT could be removed without trying to safe-guard its 
description (which doesn't seem to exist there, anyway )
