*********************************
* Version 4.7 Upgrade * All programs have been changed to .COM
type execute modules and are now being distributed in a compacted
form for fast load and low storage requirements.
* Version 4.6 Upgrade * Bug fix for names beginning with ascii
codes greater than 0E5h (229) in DEFRAG.COM and SORTDIR.COM. In
previous versions, a name such as that, would cause a null entry
to be inserted in the directory causing DOS to think it was the
last entry.
All utilities have a new function added for user customized
screen display colors that may be permanently stored in the .COM
file. Entering "Alt & F9" from entry prompt takes you to the
following screen :
ENTER SELECTION TO SET NEW DISPLAY COLORS :
«A» Screen color
«B» Message color
«C» Edit Window
«D» Screen border
ESC = Abort edit, F10 = Save edit changes
The selection listing will be in the current color. When you enter
a selection letter that line is highlighted and the following message
appears :
Up & Down arrows change text, Left & Right arrows change background
As you press the arrow keys the selected entry is displayed in a
new color. Pressing "Esc" or "Return" takes you back to the select
line. After you have set the colors press the "F10" key to store
changes. Then press the "Esc" key to return to the prompt screen.

*********************************
* SORT DISK DIRECTORIES *
* SORTDIR.COM * This utility inputs a drive letter and directory name
for sort first by filename, & then by file extent. It loads and sorts
the directory, clears out all deleted entries, then stores the sorted
directory on the disk. The global character * may be used in order to
have all the directories on a drive sorted.
Program sign-on prompt is as follows :
Enter DIR Name ?
Entry Format : d:\dirname (ie. c:\mydir)
d:* For all dirs on drive
d:\ For just root dir
Directories will be sorted and compacted
* SCAN A DISK FOR READ ERRORS *
* DISKSCAN.COM * This routine will check the readability of an entire
disk partition. It first checks the file allocation table for any
disk clusters marked as bad and reports any found. Then it starts at
sector zero, reading the disk in 64K byte blocks. If a read error is
detected, it will report the error type returned by DOS and begin
checking that area one sector at a time. At any sector returning an
error, the file allocation table is checked for the recorded status
and a message is displayed (i.e. Flagged as bad, Un-allocated, or In
-use by file). If the sector is in a reserved area, a message indicat-
ing so will be displayed(i.e. Boot sector, Root directory, File alloc
table). At completion of this sector by sector search it will cont-
inue search in 64K blocks to the end of disk partition.
No attempt is made by this routine to correct any errors found.
Its only function is to give the error report. Command options may
be entered at run time or the program will prompt you for an input.
Options format is (drive:/P(n)), where drive is the assigned disk
letter, /P = Output errors to printer, (n) =1 or 2 for Lpt1 or Lpt2.

*********************************
* DISK OPTIMIZER DEFRAG.COM *
* DEFRAG.COM * This routine will correct fragmented data files on your
disks,allowing most applications to run much faster on your system. The
present version works on all files in directories no more than five dir
levels deep from the root directory. Any Files or Dirs beyond the fifth
level will hinder defrag and disk pack operations. Entries over 1,024
in a single sub-directory will be ignored. Maximum hard disk partition
is limited to approximately 130M Bytes. Command options may include a
drive letter and a /P or /P2 (i.e. d:/p). This should be run about
once a week to keep your files in good shape. The /P option invokes a
more intensive data storage compression cycle. This option shifts data
to fill all unused disk clusters leaving all free space in one area at
the end of disk. This option takes quite a while to complete. Use of
these options are only necessary if normal defrag cannot clear all file
fragments. The /P2 Option adds another check to the pack cycle for use
on nearly full disks with a lot of fragmentation. You should not norm-
ally need to use this option. The map option displays the status of
all disk clusters and highlights any breaks in cluster strings.
The sign-on screen prompting for drive & option entry is as follows :
To defragment files on a disk
Enter new drive ? ................................
Entry Format : drive:/p (ie. c: or c:/p for drive c)
Add the /p for badly fragmented drives
! BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE RUNNING DEFRAG !
Press "Esc" to exit !

* DISK OPTIMISER DEFRAG.COM *
After entering drive & options, data for all directories on the
disk is being read while displaying the following screen :
Checking Dir : C:\TASM\WORK
* Getting Disk Data *
Press "Esc" to abort optimization
The displayed directory name changes as each dir is scanned for
fragmentated files. When this scan is completed, the results are
displayed on screen as follows :
542 File Fragments Detected
Press "M" for allocation map, "C" to continue, or "Esc" to exit
At this prompt, you may select "M" to display the disk cluster
mapping of the results of the scan, "C" to continue into the
defragging process, or "Esc" to abort the program.
On entering "C", the directories on the drive are sequentially
evaluated, and fragmented files are moved to a new location. At
the completion of each directory cycle, if you entered the /P
option, a data compact cycle is initiated. This frees up blocks
of sequential clusters to relocate more fragmented files. As this
process continues, all file segments being moved will be displayed
on-screen with the present cluster location first,and then the new
cluster to which that file segment is being moved. Pressing the
"Esc" key will interrupt the cycle at any time. Upon exiting, a
new check is made for file fragments remaining and is displayed.
The program may be run again at any time to continue the process.

* DISK ALLOCATION MAP LISTING *
When you select the disk mapping option all disk cluster allocation will be
listed on screen, starting with the first page. The clusters where a file
break occurs will be highlighted so you can see the shape your disk data is
in. You can page back and forth through this listing. Each four digit entry
is a hexadecimal number defining the location of the next cluster of data for
this data block. Clusters in numeric sequence indicate an unbroken block of
data. A "FFFF" entry indicates the last cluster of data in a particular file.
The first entry on the first page is a disk type ID entry. This allocation
table is called a "FAT TABLE". FAT stands for (File Allocation Table).
Disk C: File allocation clusters 0000 h - 00FE h
All entries in hexidecimal 2,048 Bytes per cluster

* RECOVER DELETED FILES *
* UNDELETE.COM * This utility attempts the restoration of previously
deleted files. It searches all directories of the current drive for a
matching an entered filename. If a file is found,it marks it undeleted
and assigns succeeding unallocated FAT entries, starting with assigned
file beginning cluster, to this file. This may, or may not, make the
file usable. If no files have been moved on the disk since this file
was deleted it should then be a usable file.
If a name is not entered, all deleted files and directories on current
or specified drive will be displayed to mark for recovery as you see
fit. The Probability of recovery is checked and listed as Good, Fair,
Poor, or None. Sign-on prompt is as follows :
Enter Filename ?
Entry format to recover deleted files
For a specified file : d:\filename.ext (i.e. c:\myfile.txt)
To select from list : "Enter" (current drive) or "c:" (drive c:)
All directories on disk will be searched
Press -Esc- To Exit !
If the file is restored its full pathname will be listed.

*********************************
* REPEATE A COMMAND IN ALL DIRS *
* REPTCOMM.COM * This routine allows entry of a command to be executed
in all directories on a specified drive. It is useful for clean up of
misc. un-wanted files, or as suggested on sign-on, getting a printed
list of all files on a drive using a dir command. If not an internal
DOS command, the directory location of the command file must be in the
DOS search path as set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The sign on prompt is as follows:
To execute a command in all directories on a drive
Enter COMMAND ? ..........................
Entry format : [/command] for current drive
[drive:/command] for new drive
Command will be executed in all directories on specified drive
[ie. c:/ddir /p] To print listing of all files on drive C
Remember that directory of ddir must be in the DOS search path

*********************************
* DOUBLE COLOR DIR LIST/PRINT *
* DDIR.COM * This routine prints and or lists a disks directories in
double column format, pausing for user input at each page end unless
the print option,/p was entered. If run from the DOS prompt, you may
enter the drive and path as a command option (i.e. ddir d:\newdir).
All file names, listed or printed, are first sorted by name, then by
extent. If you have a color monitor, the different extents will be
displayed in different colors.
To run, enter the command (DDIR option). See option format below.
If no command option is entered, the program will prompt you for an
option entry. The option may contain the disk drive designation, the
desired directory pathname, a /p to print, or a /# for all dirs on
the drive. Just pressing the "Enter" key at prompt, will list only
current directory. Filenames may be entered in the PATH using DOS
wildcard characters * and ?.
Valid entries as follows :
c:\Yourdir\*.com :List all .com files in c:\Yourdir
c:\Yourdir /p :List & print all files in c:\Yourdir
d: :List files in current directory of d:
d: /p /# :List & print all files in all dirs on d:
c:BR??????.* /# :List all files on c: starting with BR

* FILE LOCATOR *
* WHERE.COM * This routine inputs a filespec, searches all directories
on drives, and reports all locations of found files. If more than one
screen page is found, it awaits user input to go to the next page. The
file pathnames may be up to ninety-five characters long,and ten levels
deep from the root directory.
You may enter the filespec at the command level, or the program will
prompt for an entry. The filespec should contain a filename, and file
extent as required. Any KNOWN letters of the name, and wild card char-
acters may be used. The "?" may be substituted for any unknown char-
acter. The "*" indicates ALL for either name or extent. The command
options may be a drive letter followed by a colon, and a single digit
number. The number designates how many drives to search, starting at
the input drive letter. Entering /p at the end of the command option
will cause the search results to be listed and printed.
Entries may be as follows :
* *.dat A:4/p * List,& print all files with .DAT ext. drives A: thru D:
* dat.* D:1 * Find & list all files with name DAT on drive D:
* dat?????.* * Find & list all files beginning with DAT
* da???.* * List all files with a five letter name starting w/DA
* Default searches up to 10 drives starting with drive C:
