xxREMOVE.TXT Standards

You must create an xxREMOVE.TXT file using the following guidelines to ensure consistency in removing applications for all platforms.

- Enter file names in each directory in alphabetical order. Start with files in the root directory. Then enter subdirectories in alphabetical order. For example:
  File1
  File2
  .
  .
  data/File1
  data/File2
  .
  .
  progXX/File1
  progXX/File2
  .
  .
  sysfil/File1
  sysfil/File2
  .
  .
  RWdata/File1
  RWdata/File2
  .
  .
  gui/File1
  gui/File2
  .
  .
  sample/File1
  sample/File2
- Capitalize file names that are BBx program files or data files.
- Capitalize file names with the extension “TXT.”
- Do not capitalize UNIX script files or UNIX executables.
- Subdirectories must be all lowercase, unless they contain an application ID (the Documents subdirectory is an exception). Capitalize application IDs in the subdirectory name, for example:
  /DATA becomes /data
  /PROGAR becomes /progAR
  /RWDATA becomes /RWdata
  /SAMPLE becomes /sample
  /SYSFIL becomes /sysfil
  /DOCUMENT becomes /Document
  /GUI becomes /gui
  /UTILS becomes /utils
