-
-
- tlaFE30.zip CONTENTS:
-
- FE.DOC This documentation file.
-
- FE.EXE Complete format environment system utility.
-
-
- OPERATION:
-
- The only method for listing the environment provided by DOS is to
- issue the SET command with no options. The listing provided is rather
- difficult to read.
-
- Enclosed is FE.EXE. This program lists the contents of your
- environment area in a very readable format and reports the amount of
- main memory allocated for your environment space and the amount of
- space currently in use.
-
- Entering a request to format the environment is of the form:
-
- fe
-
- If more environment variables are in the environment then can be
- displayed on the screen, FE.EXE will pause at the bottom of the
- screen displaying the message:
-
- [ press any key ... ]
-
- At this point you may press any key on the keyboard to display the
- next screen full of data.
-
- At the end of the requested environment display, summary information is
- shown.
-
-
- COMMAND SYNTAX:
-
- fe /s<screen-size>
- fe /ns
- fe /?
-
- /s<screen-size> defines the number of lines to display on the
- screen prior to halting. The default screen-size
- is 24 lines.
-
- /ns non stop listing of directory. Do not pause at
- the bottom of the screen. This is useful when
- redirecting output from FE.EXE to your printer.
- An example of this is: fe /ns > prn.
-
- Note that "/s0" and "/ns" perform the same
- function.
-
- /? list an abbreviated description of the command
- syntax.
-
-
- SAMPLE COMMANDS:
-
- fe list the environment pausing at the bottom of
- the screen.
-
- fe /ns list the environment and do not pause at the
- bottom of the screen.
-
- fe /? list command syntax.
-
- fe /s1 list the environment one line at a time.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- To install FE.EXE on your machine, you only need to copy FE.EXE to a
- subdirectory that exists on your system path.
-
- As an example, on our systems this directory is at D:\DOS\TLA. To
- install FE.EXE, if FE.EXE is in the current directory, we would
- enter:
-
- copy fe.exe d:\dos\tla
-
-
