Last Access is a tiny TSR which monitors all accesses for any file on
your system. Last Access keeps track of the last time a file was
accessed, and by what program. An access occurs anytime you edit,
change, or even view a file. Last Access remains in memory, "watching"
these accesses, and marking the accesses in the DOS directory.
Patri-Soft has provided a special directory utility that you can use
instead of DOS' DIR. This directory scanner will provide you with all
the information that DOS DIR provides you with, in addition to the last
access date and program. Also, you can configure the output to fit you
needs.
Imagine having a full hard drive. You want to get rid of some files
that are unused, but have no way of knowing when the files were last
used, and by what program. So, you type:
C:\WP\FILES> DIR
and you get:
Volume in drive C is MS-DOS
Volume Serial Number is 1A7F-7458
Directory of C:\WP\FILES
. <DIR> 10-02-92 3:54p
.. <DIR> 10-02-92 3:54p

ETC...
You still have no idea as to what files you can get rid of, and what
files you need to keep. Imagine being able to type:
C:\WP\FILES> LDIR
and you get:
Volume in drive C is MS-DOS
Volume Serial Number is 1A7F-7458
Directory of C:\WP\FILES
. <DIR> 10-02-92 3:54p
.. <DIR> 10-02-92 3:54p

Now you know exactly when you last used any file on your entire system.
Imagine the megabytes of disk space that can be freed with this
knowledge!
If you don't use any given file/program for a period of 30 days, chances
are you are not going to use it at all. Run the Last Access TSR for 30
days and you can then start getting rid of all those unused files.
Here are some of the uses of Last Access:
* Eliminate unused, unneccesary files
* Some software packages include files that you do not
use. Last Access can help you get rid of those
unused portions of the software
* Manage your office machines by knowing what was being
used, and when it was used.
If you feel that this would useful to you, call the Patri-Soft BBS and
download it today!
