-
- HOW?-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- /? or /H - Displays a reminder screen of the switches.
-
- /C - Display color codes. Brings up example colors showing you
- what each color means.
-
- /P - Turns OFF the automatic pause.
-
- /N - NO sort. This is handy if you want to see the files in their
- original order.
-
- /E - Extension sort. Files are sorted by the .[whatever]
-
- /Z - siZe sort. Largest to smallest file sizes.
-
- /X - Displays eXecutables only. (.EXE .COM .SYS .BAT)
-
- /O[ext] - Omit extension. NO "." should be added just /OEXT I thought of
- this while looking at my Mahjong directory. Instead of trying to
- list the exe's or com's I thought why not just Omit the TIL's.
- So now I just TIR /OTIL and I get a list of everything but the
- .til files.
-
- EXAMPLE----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- C:\> TIR D:\Zips\a* /d /p /otxt
-
- This command would list all the files in the ZIPS directory on the
- drive D: that start with A in a Double column with no Pause AND Omit
- any files that have a .TXT extension.
-
- WHY?-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This simple program is intended to supplement the Dos DIR command not (at
- this point anyway) replace it. I found that working with the Dos DIR
- often gives you information that you don't really care about eg. the
- time. I almost never look at the time or date. I started to use the WIDE
- switch with DIR. But with that you don't even get the file size!
-
- In answer to my own needs I wrote this little program to display my
- directories three wide WITH the filesize. Also Dos DIR would only pause if
- you told it to, so if a directory had tons-o-files you had to do a DIR
- command twice. Once to find out you couldn't read them all and the second
- to add a /P or /W switch. Humm. TIR will pause after 24 lines of display
- by default. If you need to have it zip by for some reason the /P switch
- will turn OFF pause.
-
- Having the files sorted by Name is nice to. So that's the default. If
- you want No sort then add the /N switch. Text (name/ext) sorts are in
- ascending alphabetical order. ie. abc. File size sorts are descending.
-
- Then I though "it would be nice to see all the files on the disk" not not
- just the "normal" files. But how to display the attributes without
- putting all kinds of letters and junk on the screen? COLOR! Each
- attribute or combination of attributes has it's own color code. To see
- the codes type TIR /C and there you are.
-
- To install just copy it to your utils directory or any other directory in
- your DOS PATH. See your Dos manual if you need help with that.
-
- ** Switches can be combined and a file mask can be added. The one thing to
- remember is the switches MUST come AFTER the file mask on the command line.
- Your file mask and path can be any valid DOS DIR path and mask. So if
- your in C:\DOS> you can do a TIR D:\ZIPS or any other drive or directory.
-
- PROBLEMS!--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- TIR wont handle more that 500 files... I guess it could..
- but I'm not sure how big I can go with arrays on my compiler.
- Learning all the time....
-
- STANDARD DISCLAIMER----------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTHING HERE WILL WORK ON ALL MACHINES OR AT ALL TIMES
- OR IN ALL WEATHER OR WHEN ITS DAYLIGHT OR WHEN IT'S DARK.
- IN OTHER WORDS USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT THAT I THINK IT WOULD,
- BUT IF SOMETHING BLOWS UP BECAUSE YOU USED THIS PROGRAM
- DON'T COME CRYING TO ME.
-

-
- v1.04 - fixes bug when there is only 1 file in a dir.
- - fixes bug when there are no dirs in base dir.
- - adds other drive listings eg. C:> TIR B:\*.* [enter]
- will show you the files and free size of the disk in
- drive b:. Then return you to the current directory.
- v1.05 - fixes up the paths when calling TIR 's on other drives.
- eg. C:> TIR B: and C:> TIR D:\ZIPS now works.
- - adds a bit more color to the display
- v1.06 - fixes incomplete file masks A* will now work.
- v1.07 - adds Omit (/O) option TIR /ODOC will skip all files
