SiZer
Version 3.31
Copyright (c) 1990-1991, All Rights Reserved
John Abatte & Mark Gallagher
SZ stands for SiZer. It is used primarily for determining file
sizes and disk storage requirements. Additionally, it has the
ability to recursively search subdirectories and scan multiple
drives. This capability allows SZ to function as a fast file
finder as well, thus giving you two utilities in one.
When used as a file sizing utility, SZ will show the sizes of all
files found matching the user-supplied file specification, along
with storage requirements needed for both hard disk storage and
floppy disk storage. In addition, SZ will display the counts of all
files matched as well as a drive usage summary indicating the space
used and free space remaining. When used with the "-E" switch, SZ
will Estimate the number of floppy disks of a user-specified type
that will be required to store all files matched.
We think you will find this utility very useful indeed. The
command structure is very simple. You can call up the help
screen by issuing -?, or /?.

SZ
Usage is quite simple, not unlike the DOS "DIR" command. It will
accept relative paths and handle multiple directories and/or file
names in one invocation.
The basic syntax is as follows:
SZ [-options] [drive:][\path\][filespec]
[options] may be strung together UNIX style as '-rpe2v', and may
appear in any order, either upper case or lower case.
[options] must be preceded by either a '-' or a '/'
-En Estimate number of floppy disks needed to store files on
disks of type "n". The E parameter MUST be immediately
followed by a digit representing the floppy type. Valid
numbers are:
2 - for 1.2 Meg, 5.25" High Density disks
3 - for 360 K, 5.25" DSDD disks
4 - for 1.44 Meg, 3.5" High Density disks
7 - for 720 K, 3.5" DSDD disks
-P Pauses output each screenful. Useful mainly when using the
verbose (v) option.
-R Recurse subdirectories for matching files. Useful when
preparing to copy a subdirectory, or when used as a file
finder utility.
-S Suppress the display of the directories where the files
were found. This will just give a summary of counts and
sizes. If the verbose (v) switch is also supplied, it will
override this option.
-V Verbose listing of all matching files. This will display a
listing of all files found matching the specifications.
Particularly useful for getting a file listing which will be
redirected to the printer, or to disk. If redirecting the
output, it is recommended that the pause (p) switch not be
used.
-? Display a brief help screen showing available options.

SZ Cont'd.
Example usage: SZ -vre3 \foo d:\stuff\*.bat
This would verbosely list all files in the directory \FOO,
including any subdirectories below \FOO, of the currently
active drive. It would then scan D:\STUFF recursively for
all *.BAT files and report an estimate of floppy disks
needed to store all files matched.
If you entered "SZ -rv \" a listing of the total number of
files in each of the directories and subdirectories on the
active drive, along with the resulting totals per directory,
and on the disk will be printed out.
If you wanted to scan across all drives A, B, and C, and
generate a listing of all files located on those drives, issuing
the command "SZ -rv A: B: C: > SZ.LOG" would gather the file
useage on drives A, B, and C, including any sub-directories
found, and redirect the output to a disk file called SZ.LOG.
Rather than explain at length, it is best to experiment with
the switches for the results you need.
