Filename OT.DOC - Oaktree Documentation July 10, 1986
The program supplied by IBM and compatible makers named TREE.COM is a
nearly unuseable program since it really doesn't tell you much about
your directories. Because of that deficiency, OT (Oaktree, a more
substantial tree) was written. It will give you more information
about your disk than you will ever need, but it is somewhat interes-
ting to see just what is on your disk.
OT.COM was written in Turbo Pascal 3.0 and was debugged using PC-DOS
3.1, but should work on any DOS of 2.X or greater. It will not work
with DOS 1.X since 1.X will not support directories.
The generalized command format is;
C>OT [drive:] [filename.ext] [/n] [/p] [/s]
If no drive is specified, the default drive will be listed.
The tree, beginning at the current directory, will be listed. If
you are in the root directory, you will get a listing of the entire
disk.
The filename.ext can be supplied with wildcards (* and $) to get
a listing of certain types of files.
/n - filenames will not be listed, only the directory structure of
the disk.
/p - will cause a listing to be sent to the printer with page num-
bers.
/s - will result in some extra disk statistics being included in
the listing following the header line.
Examples of useage;
C>OT The tree, starting at the current directory will be dis-
played on the monitor.
C>OT *.PAS All files with extension PAS will be listed in the current
tree along with an indication of where they are.
C>OT WHERE.WHO If this filename exists on the disk, it will be listed
along with what directory it is in. This is useful for
finding a lost file.
C>OT /p /s List the current tree on the monitor, and also print it out.
Include disk statistics in both locations.
C>OT /n List only the directories in the current tree.
C>OT A: /p List the information concerning disk drive A and print it.
C>OT /p /s If started from the root directory, this will result in the
maximum amount of information. The listing is very useful
in case of a disk crash because it will aid you in restoring
the disk to its precrash state.
