"JCD" April 14, 1994 (Version "2.0")
Similar to Norton's "NCD" , this utility allows you to jump from
your current directory to a subdir without specifying the whole path-
name to get there. for example, say you're in in directory C:\MYDIR
and you enter:
C> JCD UTI
You could be jumped to a C:\DOS\UTILITY subdir. If JCD doesn't
find a matching subdir, it'll tell you and leave the current directory
unchanged.
If you know you have more than one matching subdir, you can use the
"/M" switch (or "/m") to list your choices, as follows:
C:\> jcd/m u
** Joel's Change Directory - J. Pinker 04-14-94 (v2.0) **
1- C:\DOS\UTILITY
2- C:\WINDOWS\UTILS
3- C:\UTIL
Enter your choice or zero (0) for "none of the above": 2
C:\WINDOWS\UTILS>
JCD keeps a data file called "JCD.DAT" in your root directory
(directorIES if you use it on more than one drive) and will rescan
your disk for subdirs under the following conditions:
a) you use the "/r" switch , i.e. : JCD/R UTI
b) you start JCD from a subdir it doesn't find in JCD.DAT,
unless you only specify a drive letter or ".." , in
which cases, it puts you there without checking the
current directory. JCD only needs to be located somewhere
in your PATH to run.
c) If JCD.DAT isn't found in the root directory.
************************************************************************
Please remember this is NOT FreeWare. Many hours of good work went
into this little utility. If you like it or use it, please send your
appreciation in the form of a check or money order for $4.95 to $9.95,
as you see fit. (I will only be offended by less than $4.95 <smile> )

/* Compiled with Borland International's Turbo C(c)++ Second Edition
Source code is available for $25.95. Please specify disk size ( 3 1/2
or 5 1/4 ) if you prefer magnetic media. It's not the best code...
"C" is new to me. Lots of comments in the source.

============================= Changes in this version =======================
- checks to make sure the drive you're changing to actually exists
- allows a quick jump to the root dir: JCD d:\ , for example
- verifies that the sub-dir found in JCD.DAT still exists
The Future of JCD
This is the last "ShareWare" release of JCD, and actually
should have been called version 1.x instead of 2.0.
The future plans for the program include:
-> a "graphical" interface for changing sub-dirs.
-> a "status" command to summarize the "abbreviableness" of
your directory tree.
-> optional assistance in renaming your subdirs to minimize
matches.
-> FAST re-scans when JCD is started in a directory not
found in JCD.DAT. (It will only scan the current subdir,
instead of scanning the whole disk).
-> All other user input will be considered.
=================================================================
In any case, this next version of JCD will only be offered
to registered users, who will be notified by mail. PLEASE
REGISTER YOUR COPY TODAY.
Thank you,
Joel
