System Requirements
===================
DirSize requires REXX to be properly installed on your system. It also
requires RXQUEUE.EXE which should be found in C:\OS2. It has been developed
under IBM OS/2 v2.x - I'm not sure how it will go under previous versions.
About ShowLong
==============
ShowLong is used to expose all of the files/directories in a specified direcory
tree that have names that don't conform to the DOS FAT 8.3 standard.
It simply lists all offending files with full path info - its up to you
to decide what you do with the information!
The utility was initially developed to provide a quick "DOS compatibility"
check for files being moved between environments, but has other uses such
as when preparing to migrate an HPFS partition to FAT.
Using ShowLong
==============
Getting help: SHOWLONG /?
Usage:
SHOWLONG [RootDir]
Output is a list of all files/directories with non-DOS FAT 8.3 names.
Where:
[RootDir]
is the "root" directory from where to start the scan of files. The
default is the current directory. Note that scans will search all
sub-directories.
Eg: to scan all of D: drive:
SHOWLONG D:\
NB: It is possible to use file masks if appropriate:
SHOWLONG D:\*.doc
