ToolBOX V1.4 The Binary Toolshed DOSSHELL Registration $ 30.00
SDN_UTIL Nov93 DOS-SHELL POINT-AND-SHOOT DIRECTORY-TREE
FILES: TBOX14.SDN
The ToolBOX program provides an improved interface to DOS facilities.
Applicable to the novice DOS user and to the power programmer, ToolBOX
improves visibility to the file system and simplifies most DOS
activities. The many features of ToolBOX 1.4 include:
* a full screen directory display, with user control of display format
and sort technique.
* point-and-shoot operations to initiate programs or directory changes.
* direct (pass through) execution of DOS command lines, including the
ability to reference files that have been selected within the
directory display.
* memory requirement that can be reduced to less than 2KB.
* multiple windows which provide simultaneous views of the directory
display and the DOS command output data.
* keyboard command stack of most recent command lines. Commands can be
recalled for editing or reuse.
* stack of most recently entered directories. A single keystroke can
be used to cycle through these directories.
* designated batch files invoked for files selected with specific match
strings.
Additional commands are available to provide help, delete files or
directory branches, change number of screen lines, and much more.
ToolBOX can be set up to display your GIF files, process your archive
files, or start your word processor or spreadsheet application. ToolBOX
is not a replacement for DOS, but rather a tool that augments the normal
DOS operations.
Like most DOS shells, ToolBOX can be used to COPY and DELETE files, and
generally assist in normal file operations. ToolBOX's strength though
is being able to go beyond what it is designed to do. Rather than being
a utility used to carry out a particular operation, ToolBOX can operate
as a permanent shell through which all your DOS activities can be
performed.
Several other utility programs accompany the ToolBOX program, including
several that were not bundled with prior versions:
TBOXCFG With ToolBOX, virtually everything is configurable - the
colors, display formats, key bindings, and so on. The TBOXCFG
program creates configuration files that are used by ToolBOX.
BTSPATCH A utility to quickly set the default command line arguments
for all Binary Toolshed programs.
TOASCII Utility to convert text files that use the extended IBM PC
character set (such as The Binary Toolshed documents) to use
the standard 95 printable ASCII characters.
TREE Provides a graphic display of the directory tree structure.
The user can cursor through this structure to change director-
ies or examine file contents.
VIEW Text viewer, or browser, for displaying the contents of text
files.
DIRS Ever need to know where all your disk space is allocated or
how much space is really being used by each of your
applications - then use DIRS. It displays cumulative disk
space totals for a directory and all of its descendants.
DRIVES Do you always know which logical drives are assigned and the
space allocation on each. If not, DRIVES can help. It
displays disk drive parameters for all assigned drives
including drive types, volume names, capacities, and the
available free space.
MAKEBAT Do you find it necessary to perform repetitive DOS operations
on multiple files within a directory. Use MAKEBAT. It can
eliminate the need to manually create such batch files.
ONPATH Need to know if a file is accessible on the DOS PATH, or which
one has precedence if multiple such files exist - ONPATH will
tell you.
WI A WHEREIS program. Like most such programs, WI finds files
anywhere on the disk drive(s) that correspond to a match
specification. WI, however, has a powerful additional feature
- it can perform any desired DOS operation on the selected
file(s). You can copy it, delete it, view it, change
directories to it, start an application with it, or whatever.
And the match specification can involve file types, date
ranges, file sizes, or multiple file specifications (with
include or exclude lists).
All of these programs are detailed in the accompanying documentation
files.
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, any configuration
Other Requirements : DOS 3.0 or higher.
