'''PFSMakeRollover''' - Creates rollover files

FILE/A, SIZE/N/A
 <nowiki>
FILE - The name of the new rollover file.
SIZE - The 'rollover size' of the new rollover file in blocks.
</nowiki>

Initially the rollover file will be empty, it has size 0. The rolloversize is the maximum size the rollover file can become. It always is a multiple of blocks minus one for the end of file marker. 

Example:
 1.Workbench:> Makerollover mylogfile 2
will create a rollover file named 'mylogfile' with rollover size
2*512-1 = 1023 byte.

Makerollover always creates a new file, it cannot transform an existing file into a rollover file. To transform a normal file into a rollover file, you have to copy it into a rollover file.

Example: turning mybiglog into a 1023 byte rollover file:
 1.Workbench:> rename mybiglog temp
 1.Workbench:> makerollover mybiglog 2
 1.Workbench:> copy temp mybiglog
 1.Workbench:> delete temp
