Topic: Shntool Stuff

forgot the link...

to get ALL the software you need...

http://www.etree.org/shnutils/shntool/

put the shntool.exe, flac.exe, shorten.exe, and the cygwin.dll in the command folder. i also sometimes put these in the windows/system folder...

to check if it worked, goto start menu > run > type "command" and hit enter...

then type "shntool" and hit enter...

you should get a message like this

SHNTOOL: error: missing arguments
SHNTOOL:
SHNTOOL: type 'SHNTOOL -h' for help

then go to the harddrive you want to work with by typing "e:" and hitting enter - you will see the e drive heads the prompt...

then type "cd /myshortenfolder.shnf" and hit enter - this assumes that the shn files you want to check are in the folder named "myshnfolder.shnf" which is directly below e: otherwise cd tho the subdirectory (ie: "cd c:\windows\system")
 
e:\myshnfolder.shnf\ should show up - now type "shntool len *.shn" and hit enter. the printout will show the results...

i hope that helps...

you use cd (change directory) command...

like this...

shn files saved in e:\shn\gd1977-05-06.shnf

when you type command in the run dialog, you get this prompt...

c:\windows\system

type "e:" and hit return

you will get a prompt like

 e:\   or   e:\some directory

type "cd \shn\gd1977-05-06.shnf" and hit enter. you will get this prompt...

e:\shn\gd1977-05-06.shnf

now just type your commands...

like

shntool len *.shn

shntool fix -o shn *.shn

etc...

i hope this helps...
