File Directory v1.00
By Robert McCullough
File Directory looks exactly like Dos's Dir Command but with some *added*
features. This was put together as a request for a Tick Help utility. If
you are an end system and you have various File Echos pointing to the same
directory you may worry about overwrite. FLDIR will aid you in creating
a "Complete" FILECHO.DUP files. Using DOSs Redirect and Append Pipeing
features it is easy to include all the files in your new .DUP file.
Lets say you put DOS_UTIL, UTILITY, and CRN_UTIL all in one file area
(your C:\Files\Utility directory to be exact) you would want to have
the same dupe file for each File echo to prevent an accidental overwrite
of a file similar but not the same file. In fact they may be two entirely
different files and the newer one (just recieved has nothing to do with
the older one which would get overwritten) ..This is just the utility
for you... Here is what you can do:
FLDIR /s /-h C:\Files\Utility >> DOS_UTIL.DUP
FLDIR /s /-h C:\Files\Utility >> UTILITY.DUP
FLDIR /s /-h C:\Files\Utility >> CRN_UTIL.DUP
Another example might be that you just joined SOFTDIST (SDS File Echo)
and this pointed to your (already inhabited) BBSFILES File Area
FLDIR /s /-h C:\Files\BBSFiles >> SOFTDIST.DUP
There are proably dozens of other uses for this utility ...but I will let
you figure all that out ;-)
Let me tell you a little about FLDIR...
all normal DOS switches work (i.e. /w /p ) but with FiLeDIR there are about
more. This program is especially good to redirect for input directly in
another Program.
/a ...Include Hidden and System files
/d ...Include DIRectories (defualt is off)
/f ...Full path (i.e. Drive:\Path\Path\File.ext)
/h ...Headers (and footer) for directory screen
/p ...Pause after each screen full
/s ...Short (does not display file dates or sizes)
/w ...Wide directory screen
- (dash) before any of the above letters turns off a switch (i.e. /-h will
turn off the Header option).
FLDIR also allows you to stack File Specs and gives multiple screens
FLDIR *.exe *.com will display one screen of .Exe files found and the second
screen of .Com files found. You are limited only by your environment Variables.
Other Shareware and PD Projects (programs) include:
DEL0.ZIP Deletes 0 Byte files
CRITICAL.ZIP Critical Dos Error Monitor (current version 1.04)
ECHO307.ZIP EchoDor - FTSC Compatable Msg System (.Msg Door)
PICT101.ZIP Picture Door - Online ANSI File Viewer
