- BEL Directory Change will enable you to:
-- Change directories with minimum keystrokes
-- Never allow you to forget difficult paths and directory names.
--- e.g. [ BEL win ] will give you a listing of all of your windows
directories. You can select the directory's number from a list, or
click on it with your mouse to change to that directory.
-- e.g. To switch to C:\Windows\Others\Others2, you only need to type
[ BEL 2 ]. Granted, that's the only directory with "2" in it's name
that you have. If not, no problem, the change is still only a
click or couple of keystrokes away.
-- [ BEL <drive letter> ] will list all of your directories on the
drive.
- If the letters that you type are unique to a directory, you will change
immediately to the directory.
- If the letters are common to more than one directory, all related
directories will display.
- Commands:
-- Page Down = More directories
-- Page Up = Previous directories
-- ESC = Escape to current directory
-- F1 = Help
- Select options or directories with your mouse
- Two Files are included:
-- Bel.exe / Change directory program
-- Bel.txt / The file that you are reading
- Getting Started:
-- Copy BEL.exe to a directory that's in your path
-- Determine which version of DOS that you are using
--- If unsure type [ ver ]
- Creating Dir.txt:
-- If Using DOS 5.0
--- Type [ BEL 5.0 DIR.TXT ]
-- If using a Version OTHER THAN DOS 5.0
--- Type [ BEL PRE 5.0 DIR.TXT ]
-- Enter the command EXACTLY as shown
- DOS 5.0 users
-- May create Dir.txt by typing either command however, Dir.txt will take
longer to create if the Pre 5.0 Dir.txt command is used.
- Pre DOS 5.0 users
-- Must use the Pre 5.0 Dir.txt command
- Dir.txt will be created in your root directory which contains a list of
all directories and subdirectories.
- Whenever you modify your directory structure, (add, delete, rename) run
the appropriate command to recreate Dir.txt.
- Experiment by typing BEL & any letter or combination of letters. This
will give you a feel of how the program works.
- Trouble Shooting:
-- If you want to delete a character, type "any" number 4 times. Only the
numbers, page up/down, escape & F1 are supported.
A mouse is recommended.
-- If you choose a directory and end up in your Root Directory, type the
command to recreate Dir.txt see (Creating Dir.txt). Chances are,
you modified your directory structure.
- Suggestions:
-- Rename Bel.exe to reflect your initials.
-- Create a batch file named "Update" to create Dir.txt e.g.
--- @echo off
BEL <the command to create YOUR Dir.txt>
-- Create a macro for one of your function keys to run Update.bat
--- Refer to the section of your DOS manual that covers Ansi.sys
- This program was created due to my dissatisfaction with a particular
commercial change directory program. I had to continually type "parts"
of a directory name to finally go to the directory that I wanted.
- It was written in Quick Basic 4.5 in EGA mode.
- The mouse routines were adapted from : CRAVER SYSTEMS '90
SCMOUSE Routines
and Outstanding! addition to my programming arsenal. Many thanks
Steve.
- As with any program, you use this one at "your" risk. Unlike most
programs this one is FREE. Enjoy.
