- 1.0 Introduction
-
- JetCommander is a Filemanager and Editor for OS/2 and MS-DOS
- (WINDOWS). JetCommander allows a uniform Operation in the two
- Operating Systems.
-
- Quick access to files is realized by one key stroke or a
- mouseclick per operation. (Shortcut Keys).
-
- JetCommander is a program with about 480kB disk usage per
- Operating System. It's perfectly usable as servicetool, even
- started from floppy disk.
-
- Directorytrees are saved on harddisk and read only after user
- action. Quick access to the Directories is possible without
- reading the whole tree.
-
- JetCommander supports long filenames (HPFS) and networking.
- While copying files with long filenames from HPFS to FAT the
- names are automatically converted.
-
- Multiple file edit is possible with the integrated fileeditor.
- Functions to copy text from one file to another are implemented.
-
- With the integrated Fileviewer files are displayed in ASCII or
- HEX mode.
-
- JetCommander is able to work with ZIP, ARJ, ZOO, LHA and LZH
- archives.
-
- 2.0 Description of Program features
-
- 2.1 Usage of own programs
-
- You can define in Setup for the following functions your own
- programs.
-
- Edit (internal editor available)
- File View (internal viewer available)
-
- These programs are started with the actual file as parameter if
- the specific function is activated.
-
- 2.2 Start large programs
-
- In the DOS Version the program uses Expanded- or Extendedmemory
- to swap program memory while before executing commands. This
- allows to start large programs using the whole DOS Memory.
-
- 2.3 User Pulldown
-
- With the definition of a User Pulldown you can pop up a pulldown
- containing several self defined program starts.
-
-
- 3.0 Operating concept
-
- In the file window you see all directories and all files in
- alphabetic order (default). It is possible to show the directory
- in a second window.
-
- 3.1 Main Operations
-
- All user input is processed via keyboard or mouse.
-
-
- 3.1.2 Activate Pulldown
-
- You can activate a pulldown with F9 or directly with the mouse.
-
-
- 3.1.3 Macrorecorder
-
- A Macrorecorder is part of JetCommander. You can use it to
- record a key sequence and replay it once or multiple times.
-
- ALT-1 starts and stops recording.
- ALT-2 starts replay with replay factor
- ALT-3 starts replay one time
-
- With this function you can simplify an operation you wish to do
- with all files in a filelist.
-
- The maximum number of keystrokes recorded is 512.
-
- 3.1.4 Special keys in the Lineeditor
-
- With the following key combinations the line editor supports
- some special functions :
-

-
- SHIFT-F2 : Change edit field to lower case
-
- CTRL-CURSOR,
- CTRL-HOME,CTRL-END, : Moves the cursor
- 3.1.5 Other general keys
-
- ESC Cancel actual function
-
- F1 Online Help, context sensitive
-
- CTLR-CURSOR-UP shows a history of entered strings when
- working in an edit line / field to retrieve
- previously entered commands.
-
- 3.1.6 Dialog Windows
-
- For some functions, the program uses dialogue windows. You can
- jump from one edit field to another with TAB and SHIFT-TAB or
- simply CURSOR-UP/DOWN. In an editfield you can immediate edit
- the string after activating the specific field. Using the mouse
- a field is selected with a single mouseclick and executed after
- two mouseclicks.
-
- Yes/No Buttons are marked with [ ] and toggled with the SPACE
- key.
-
- Pressing RETURN ends the dialogue and starts the specific
- function.
-
- With CTLR-CURSOR-UP you can retrieve all previously entered
- Strings to choose one for the edit field.
-
- 3.2 The file window
-
- For better identification, directories, executable files, and
- files with hidden or system attribute are displayed in different
- colors.
-
- Colors are defined in setup.
-
- 3.2.1 Commands in the file window
-
- 3.2.1.1 Select files or directories, file mask
-
- INSERT or a mouseclick with the right mousekey selects the
- actual file. The filecursor moves forward one file. If the file
- is already selected, this function disables the selection.
-
- With the + key on the numeric keypad you may enter a specific
- filemask for fileselection (NUM +). For security reasons
- directories are not selected with this way.
-
- NUM - for UNSELECT unselects the files.
- NUM * inverts the current selection.
-
- 3.1.1.1.1 Wildcards in file or selection mask
-
- A special algorithm allows file and selection masks like *.[c-
- h]. All files with extension c,d,e,f,g, and h will be displayed
- or selected.
-

- a*. all files without extension with an a as first
- letter.
-
- 3.1.1.1.2 Combination of several file masks
-
- The combination of several filemasks, separated through a
- semicolon is possible in all functions where a filemask is
- entered.
-
- Inverse masks are entered with a leading < character.
-
- Mask Result
-
-
- f.ex.: *.c;*.h; ---> *.c and *.h
- <*.obj ---> all files, except *.obj files
- <*.obj;<*.exe ---> all files, except *.exe and*.obj
-
- *.txt;*.bat;a*.;[c-f]*.doc
-
-
-

- directories without existence of the single subdirectories. All
- directories will be created.
-
- Example :
-
- Directory : C:\test\x\y\z is entered and on drive c: exists
- only \test, then \x\y\z
- will be created.
-
- If an empty destination directory is entered or CURSOR UP (or a
- mouseclick on the destination field) is pressed, the directory
- tree is displayed for selection of the destination path.
-
- In 2 filewindow mode, the path of the inactive window is offered
- as destination directory.
- 3.2.2.3 Delete Files, Directories

- filelist. In this filelist, you can use all JetCommander
- functions for further operation with the files
-
- If no seachmask is entered, *.* is default. If no directory is
- entered, the root path \ is used.
- 3.2.3.3.1 Global Filelist
-
- Functions like filefind, textsearch creates such a list. The
- difference to a local list is that the complete path of the
- files is displayed whether in the bottom line of the window or
- directly in the window.
-
- ALT-F1 toggles the display modes to full display where the
- directory is displayed for each file directly in the list.

- f.e: Mask : \*.bak
- Command : del
-
- All files with extension .BAK are deleted on the drive.
-
-
- 3.2.3.7 Search text recursive
-
- This function finds a specific text in all files an add the
- files into a global file list.
-

-
- JetCommander works with archives just like directories. In an
- archive, the following functions are possible :
-
- Copy file(s) from the archive
- View file(s)
- Autoview
- Print file(s)
- Edit file(s)
- Search text in files

-
- You can activate the editor with F4 for fileedit. The
- macrofunctions of JetCommander are useful for several functions
- not yet implemented in the editor.
-
- The editor supports Syntax Coloring, that means that keywords
- int the text are colored. This enhances the readability of the
- text.
-
- Syntax Coloring is activated in dependence of the fileextension.
- At the moment the following fileextensions are supported. The
- keywords may be user defined for several file types.
-
- The editor offers the possibility to search Brackets, to find
- the matching Bracket. {} [] and ()
-

- 3.6 User defined Pulldown
-
- Its possible to define a User pulldown in a ASCII File named
-
- - JC.DAT (DOS file ) or
- - JC2.DAT (OS/2 file)
-
- It is activated by pressing the hotkey ALT-F7 every time when
- JetCommander is waiting for a key. Sometimes this is the only
- way to jump quickly to the operating system for formatting a
- floppy disk when no formatted disk is available (for example).
- Under OS/2 this is no problem, but for DOS task switching is not
- possible.
-
- 3.6.1 Definition of the User pulldown
-
- The start of a pulldown definition in marked by a special char
- followed by a > character. The ^ marks the hotkey in the
- pulldown entry for quick access. An example is already on disk.
-
-
- The following definitions are used by JetCommander to build a
- pulldown :
-
- P> Header definition of Pulldown
- E> Pulldown entry text (text in line)
- D> Definitions concerning the actual entry
- # Line with comment
- The char ^ marks the hotkey
-
- Without any definitions : Command line of Pulldownentry
-
-
- PULLDOWNDEFINITIONS
-
- D> XPOS = nr Upper left position of pulldown
- D> YPOS = nr Upper left position of pulldown
- D> XWIDTH = nr minimal width of pulldown, ignoring
- shorter text entries
- D> SWAP = 0 don't swap for command execution (DOS
- only)
- D> SWAP = 1 swap for command execution (DOS only)
- D> WINDOW = 0
- D> WINDOW = 1 Open a window for elution
- D> WINXPOS = nr upper left corner of window, row
- D> WINYPOS = nr upper left corner of window, line
- D> WINXWIDTH = nr x- width of the window
- D> WINYWIDTH = nr y- width of the window
- D> CURSOR = 1 activate cursor for execution
- D> WAIT = 0/1 wait after command execution

- execution. The parameter will be inserted at the
- % char of the command string.
-
-
- 3.6.2 Multiple commands in command
-
- Multiple commands can be entered separated by a ; character.
- They are executed one after the other, dependent of the
- definition 'D> WAIT = n' the program will wait after the
- execution of each command.
-
- Example :
-
- P> User Pulldown
-
- D> XPOS = 20
- D> YPOS = 5
- D> XWIDTH = 20
-
- E> ^Operating system
- D> SWAP = 0

- this window. 'Z' (Zoom) zooms the window to a big one.
-
- Entering CTRL-F2 again, switches off the autoviewmode.
- 4.0 Installation of JetCommander
-
- Copy all files from the disk to a destination directory on your
- harddisk of use INSTALL.CMD from the disk for the OS/2 version.
- This will do everything for you.
-
- Then you have to define your programs like editor,
- wordprocessing and file viewer in the SETUP Pulldown of
- JetCommander.
-
- Program entries must be entered including the complete path of
- the program. JetCommander checks the existence of the program
- before accepting the name.
-
-
- 4.1 Environment and JetCommander-Files
-
- JetCommander needs one Environmentvariable called JC. Please
- set it in CONFIG.SYS (for OS/2) or in AUTOEXEC.BAT (for DOS) to
- the path, the file and its additional files is located.
-
- f.ex.
-
- SET JC=C:\JC
-
- If you got problems with online help or the User pulldown, the
- Environment for JetCommander is not set correctly.
-
- You have to set the Environmentvariable TMP to a temporary path
- (RAMDISK) for swapping the program code if no extended or
- expanded memory is available. This path is also used for
- temporary file extraction from archives.
-
- f. ex.
-
- SET TMP=f:\tmp
-
- 4.2 Preference File
-
- In the JetCommander-Preference File (jc.pre, jc2.pre) you can
- combine a fileextension with a command you want to execute with
- files matching this extension. After executing QUICK-START in
- the filelist, the actual fileextension is searched in the
- preference file, and when found directly executed.
-
- Per line one definition of a fileextension and the command is
- defined.
-
- The Specialmenu offers you a possibility to edit the preference
- file with the integrated editor.
-
-
- 5.0 Setup
-
- In SETUP-Pulldown you can enter the path for the editor, the
- wordprocessing and other programs.
-
- Additional several JetCommander Settings like Screen Save Time,
- Color Settings, User Level.. and lots more are defined.
-
- 5.2 Parameter in Command Strings
-
- You can force JetCommander to ask for a Parameter before command
- execution for functions like :
-
- - PREFERENCES
- - FUNCTION KEYS
- - COMMAND STRINGS
-
- with [ ] (Space in brackets) in the command string.
-
-
- f.e.: format [ ]
-
-
- With % the actual filename is inserted at this position.
- %% inserts the actual filename without extension.
-
- 5.2.1 Internal Editor/Viewer with commands
-
- The internal editor and viewer may be used entering [JCEDIT] or
- [JCVIEW] in the command string.
-
- 5.3 JetCommander Start Options
-
- JetCommander got the following start options.
-
- Start JetCommander :
-
- /WIN : if you got problems with DOS Multitaskingenvironments
- not known by JetCommander
-
- 5.3.1 Direct access to Userpulldown after start
-
- You can immediately activate the user pulldown with the start
- parameter /MEN, without the normal JetCommander windows. +
- changes (toggles) to the normal JetCommander windows.
-
-
- 5.6 Archiveprograms
-
- To use the archive features JetCommander must know some
- definitions of the archivers you prefer to use. These one are
- entered in a external ASCII file JC2.ASE or JC.ASE for all
- archive types. JetCommander works with ZIP, ARJ, LHA and ZOO
- Archive. JetCommander distinguishes the following fileextensions
- :
-
- ZIP, ARJ, LHA, LZH, ZOO
-
- The definitions includes :
-
- - Path of the archive program for compression
- - Path of the archive program for decompression
- - Command to add a file to the archive
- - Command to delete a file in the archive
- - Command to extract a file from the archive
- - Command to list archive
- - Two dummy commands (for future use)
-

- 5.8 JetCommander on Servicedisk
-
- JetCommander is also useful as Filemanager on a servicedisk when
- OS/2 has to be booted from a bootdisk. For this purpose you
- simply have to copy a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) to the disk
- containing JetCommander. The names of the two libraries are
- MONCALLS.DLL and MOUCALLS.DLL located in the directory OS2\DLL
- of the operating system.
-
- 5.9 Problems and Solution
-
- P: No help using F1
- P: Extension Preferences and Userpulldown not accessible
- S: The environmentvariable JetCommander is not defined to the
- path of JetCommander an the add-on files (JC.DAT, JC.PRE ,
- JC.HLP)
-
- P: Hidden files are not displayed
- S: See SetUp/Confirmations
-
- P: Crash during drive change in File/Tree display mode
- S: Probably a result of an error in the treefile.
- Delete all treefiles (JC_C.TRE, JC_D.TRE....) in the
- directory JetCommander.TRE. The directory is located under
- the installationpath, if the environmentvariable
- JetCommander is set. Otherwise TMP or C:\ is used
-
- P: Subdirectories are not deleted completely.
- S: Probably some files with hidden attribute are in one
- of the subdirectories. These files are deleted
- when you have set up this in SetUp/Confirmations
-
- S: Another reason is that other programs or DLLs are in
- one of the subdirectories in use from OS/2. End all
- programs and start OS/2 again,perhaps from disk when
- you want to delete system dlls.
-
- S: Another open OS/2 session or DOS session is working in the
- directory you want to delete. End this session and delete
- again.
-
- P: Programs are not started under OS/2
- S: Check if in CONFIG.SYS of OS/2 the entry
- SET COMSPEC= ... points to a valid OS/2 command-
- processor.
-
- Usually : SET COMSPEC=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
-
- P: SWAP error under DOS while executing a program
- S: You may not have enough expanded or extended memory
- or you have no disk space in TMP-directory or the actual
- drive.
-
- P: Functions like file find are searching always the whole
- drive and not starting at the current directory
-
- S: Enter in the search mask the path you want to search from.
- If you want to search starting from the current directory,
- the following mask must be entered.
- : .\*.* (.\ = current directory)
-
-
- P: JetCommander does not start after reboot
- S: See 5.6
-
-
- P: You don't see a .. directory entry to change to the upper
- directory
- S: You can change to the upper directory always with CTRL-PUP,
- even if no .. entry is displayed.
-
-
- P: Program stops under DOS without any reason
- S: Probably you are working with a DOS Multitasking-
- environment, that is not recognized by JetCommander
- (DESQVIEW, Novell DOS 7 (with Taksswitcher)).
-
- Start JetCommander with /WIN as parameter to solve this
- problem
-
- P: After a programstart under DOS JetCommander does not return
- to the filewindow
- S: You have loaded a resident program, that uses the memory of
- the JetCommander swap area. JetCommander can't return and is
- ended. Start resident programs before JetCommander.
-
- P: No files are displayed with TCPIP and OS/2 on network drives
- There is one entry in the filelist : ERROR : 50
- A: The TCPIP package used does not support 32-BIT access to
- network drives. The WPS will also not show any drives. Get a
- new version of TCPIP (> 2.x)
-
- P: Problem decompressing archives
- A: JetCommander uses the directory TMP or TEMP for decompression
- of the files. Perhaps there is not enough space or no write
- permissions.
