OTHER PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
========================
The program included in this arced file is only one of the five hard-
disk management utilities I wrote. These programs are: Sub, SubA, Fill,
DDup and Sin.
Generalities
------------
Those programs all use the same basic module for directories scanning.
This module read a given directory and all its children directories. If
the directory is the root directory ('\'), the program will operate on all
the drive. This module accepts multiple drives, multiple filenames and an
exclusion list (eg: "CD:\FIL*.*+PRG*.*/*.COM+*.EXE" for all files beginning
with FIL or PRG exept those ending with .COM or .EXE on every directories
of drives C: and D:). A detailed description of these programs is included
below.
Sub, SubA, Fill, DDup and Sin commands can be included in batch
files. Sub, SubA and Sin can read permanent parameters in your environment
(see the DOS command "SET"). All but Sin support redirected output via DOS
commands (refer to documentation). With this feature, output can be sent
to the printer or to a text file. Also, they can be used through a modem
with any DOS gateway program. All five programs require PC-DOS or MS-DOS 3.0
or later.
The five programs can run under Microsoft Windows. They are all
distributed with the appropriate PIF (Program Information File). All programs
but Sin can run in multi-tasking in its window. Only Sin must run alone
because it directly modifies screen memory.
Sub v3.3a
---------
Search file (or files with wild cards) on hard-disk down from any
directory. This version has the ability to apply DOS functions (copy,
delete, move, type, rename, change attributes or jump) to files found. The
DOS commands can be specified at the DOS prompt or from a Sub menu. Search
according to files dates, size or attributes (r-o, hid., system, arc, etc).
Sum total bytes for given files.
SubA v1.2a
----------
Search file (or files with wild cards) on hard-disk down from any
directory including inside the arced files (*.ARC). Every search criteria
(dates, size or attributes) and options you found in Sub are available in
SubA except the DOS functions (delete, move, etc.). It add the ability
to search in arced files or to ask for a list (verbose listing) of files
inside given arced files.
Fill v1.5
---------
Copy files of a big directory or of a sub-directory on a minimum
number of floppies. Files copied are still executable on the floppy.
Restore with "A>copy *.* c:\directory". Tells you how many floppies are
needed and allows you to dir, cd, md, rd, del or format the target floppy
within the program. Any floppy configuration compatible with DOS 3.0 is
supported. Optional text file logging of files copied. Restriction:
biggest file to copy must fit on one floppy (any format).
DDup v1.1
---------
Allows you to delete or rename duplicated files. Modes: twin files
(same name and specs), duplicated specs (same size and date-time) or
duplicated names. DDup can scan multiple drives for as much as 2,400 files
per 100k of available RAM.
Sin v2.4a
---------
Search for a given string in specified files down from any directory.
Skip binary files (by extension at your choice). Displays filename, line
number and the text of line containing the string. Fast screen output. This
version supports Microsoft mouse (or compatible) and works with either
color and monochrome display. Attributes or colors configuration can be
saved in code file. Sin can send its output to the printer or a text file.
