ALLDRIVE.EXE use to execute the same command
on more than one logical/physical drive
Enter ALLDRIVE xxxxx [xxxxx] [xxxxx] .....
^ ^optional parameters
^ command to execute on all drives
The Environment variable AD must be set with a list
of drive letters if command is to be executed on
more than one drive. E.g. SET AD=cdef
NOTE: To execute a command on all drives and all directories on
each drive, combine AllDRIVE.EXE with a utility such as
GLOBAL.COM which executes a command on all directories within
a drive, e.g. ALLDRIVE GLOBAL DEL *.BAK would delete all the
.BAK files in all the directories of all the drives listed in
the AD environment variable.

AD.EXE
Replaces CD for easier multi-drive use
Searches the current directory and then the root for the path specified
Enter AD [\]path[\path][.....]
To search several drives: SET AD=d[d][d]....
Up to 8 drives may be listed
(AD ? shows this help screen)
EXAMPLE: Set AD=cde will cause drives C D & E to be used for path change
(include in Autoexec.bat)
EXAMPLE: if the current path were D:\DOS, AD WP would first attempt
CD WP, then CD \WP then C: CD WP then CD \WP then E: .... etc.
NOTE: Differences between AD and DOS CD --
- obviously, will look on several drives for the path
- changes directory and drive when path is found
- AD D: is valid, will switch you to the current directory of drive D
- the initial \ can usually be left off, AD will always look
first in the current directory and then the root of each drive
If you include the initial \ , only the root will be examined.
