- [ A possible email path is rutgers!princeton!mccc!cosi!bill. I edited
- the following description slightly. -- R.D. ]
-
- This is a directory lister/walker utility for MS-DOS. The "walk"
- function is analogous to the UNIX find command. It is released to the
- public with no guarantees, and no obligations on the part of the
- users. I hope it is useful to you.
-
- [ The -h option gives a help screen showing the following commands -- R.D. ]
-
- -a Show archivable files only.
- -b Brief display - show size only.
- -d number Set walk depth.
- -f string Execute command for each file.
- -h Display help screen.
- -i string Execute command before stepping into directories.
- -l Display long documentation.
- -o string Execute command after stepping out of directories.
- -p Plain listing - no ANSI driver enhancements.
- -s Search subdirectories (Walk tree).
- -t Terse display (simple format file list).
- -v Verbose display (for sorting).
-
- Environment variables that control display color (with ANSI driver):
- FGLIST and BGLIST= Colors of l.exe display.
- LIST_INTENSE= List display intensity indicator.
- WARNING= Foreground of archivable bit display.
- WBLINK= Blink indicator for archivable bit display.
- FGCOLOR and BGCOLOR= Colors for DOS command shell.
- INTENSE= DOS shell display intensity indicator.
- DIR_COLOR= Foreground color for directory names.
- FILE_COLOR= Foreground color for file names.
-
- [
- Seems to work fine other than that it won't accept forward slashes in
- pathnames and "l \dirname" always shows no files and you must say "l
- \dirname\*.*" to see what is in the directory.
