INTERLEAF ARCHIVING TOOLS


		The process of archiving Interleaf documents has been
	made  simple  through the use of LISP  procedures  which  are
	accessed via Interleaf's menu system.

		We currently use this system at AiResearch Tucson Div.
	using an erasable optical disk drive as the storage media.

		Although  these procedure have been extensively tested
	and proven to work at our site, There are no guaranties  that
	they will work in your environment without modification.

		Each  file  contains  path names and device names that
	you  must  change to reflect actual  paths and devices used at
	your site.  These will appear as "ddcu:[directory]".

		Support for these procedures is limited, But please
	feel free to call if minor problems arise. Also feel free to
	send any comments or improvements you may have.


     The process is as follows:

     1)		First select files  to be  archived  within a container.
	This can be done using an  automated procedure  in  the  Custom
	menu that selects files by time since modified, or by selecting
	files manually. The automated procedure is  optional  and  only
	provided as an aid in selecting files you wish to archive.

     2)		Once  all  of  the  files  you wish to archive within a 
        container have been  selected,  use the   Custom > Compile List
        in  the  pull down menu to compile a listing of the files to be
        archived.

     3)		Repeat the first two steps within  each  container  you
	wish to archive.

     4)		When  the  compiled  list  is  complete,  Just  use the 
	Custom > Archive  selection in the pull down menu to submit the
	archive process.

     5)		The  archive process  is done through a batch procedure
	which can be modified to fit individual needs.


		Specific  set up instructions have been included in each
	file. Within the .lsp  files,  comments are preceded with double
	semi-colons ";;". You may wish to delete these comments from the
	working file.
