   MAKE  allows  one  to  change the user number  of  designated  files  on  a 
designated  drive  to a different user number.   This is carried  out  without 
copying  the  files and then deleting the original  files;  rather,  the  user 
number  tag  in the disk directory is simply changed to reflect the  new  user 
number.   MAKE  also  has options to set file attributes of  read-only,  read-
write,  system,  and directory,  as well as archive or non-archive.  Files can 
also be erased or unerased.

   Syntax:  MAKE d:afn o [/o]     <-- all
            MAKE du:afn o [/o]    <-- all
            MAKE dir:afn o [/o]   <-- ZCPR3 version

      where the drive, driver/user, and named directory forms (where
      appropriate) are optional and where "o" is one of the options

MAKE options:

   DIR:  -  new DIR for files (ZCPR3 version ONLY)
   DU:   -  new DU for files
   U:    -  new DU for files  
   nn    -  new user # for files (0-31)
   R     -  set files to R/O
   W     -  set files to R/W
   S     -  set files to SYS
   D     -  set files to DIR
   A     -  set files to ARCHIVE
   N     -  set files to Non-ARCHIVE
   E     -  erase files
   U     -  unerase files
   blank -  show status of files
  /o     -  auto delete of dest file 

   The above options act only for files in the current user area.  If a '#' is 
specified after the options, files from all user areas will be affected.

Examples of Use:

   a. MAKE can be used in aliases to MAKE overlays 'public'.  It makes use  of 
      SETDRU filters unnecessary, in those situations where multiple copies of
      a program would otherwise be required on several directories.
   
      'MAKE WS*.COM 6;MAKE *.OVR 6;WS %d%u:%f'

      With WS and  its overlays  in A0, this will put them in A6.  Now you can
      edit the pointer file  in user area 6.  The  path finds MAKE  and WS.COM 
      and they have enough intelligence to  find its overlays  as long as they 
      are in the same user area and on the same drive.  The pointer file could
      be on a default drive other than A.  <
