- These humble programs are used to hide and unhide files and directories.
- They are used as follows:
-
- hide <filename> hides a file or directory
-
- unhide <filename> unhides a file or directory
-
- hidden lists hidden files and directories
-
- All three of these programs work only on files or subdirectories in the
- current directory, and wildcards are not supported. Also, these programs
- do not alter the System, Archive, or Read-Only attributes, which means
- that a file may remain invisible if its System attribute is set. HIDDEN
- will not show System files unless they are Hidden, too.
-
- Turbo Pascal 4.0 source code is provided, and you are encouraged to study
- or borrow any or all of it. These programs have NOT been extensively
- tested, nor are they particularly efficient or elegant. Suggestions for
- improvement should be surfaced on CompuServe at the Borland Programmer's
- Forum A on the Turbo Pascal v4.0 message board.
-
- I am indebted to Mike Davenport and Neil Rubenking for explaining the
- Dos details and providing some of the code.
