I got an older copy of TRUNC, which I fixed up so that it is better
that PIP /TR. I have set up the default file extend on my public
disks to 10 blocks (to get better performance for editting, etc), and
TRU runs every night to chop off all the wasted space.

This version of TRU handles wildcard UIC's, plus it preserves the file
creation & revision dates.
******************************************************************
editor's note: I appended Ray's file TRUNCATE.HLP so that the
information on preserving creation and revision dates would be clearer.
********************************************************************

TRUNCATE (TRU) will truncate the allocated but
unused blocks off the end of files. It only touches files that
indeed have un-allocated blocks (unlike the PIP /TR switch)
so it doesn't mess up the files revision date.

Also, it preserves the file dates (creation & revision), so none get
messed up.

Filespec is like PIP's.
