-
- File Sweeper is a utility designed to delete unnecessary files
- created by compilers and other build tools. It was designed with
- Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) users as it's intended audience but other
- compiler users will no doubt find it useful.
-
- Sample Use:
-
- Say you are working on five or six MSVC projects on your
- computer (each of which takes up 5-10 MB of hard disk)
- and you want to clean things up since you're running low
- on disk space. Just go to the "Tools" menu in MSVC and
- click "Sweeper". This will bring up a small program which
- displays a list of files generated during a build of a
- program in MSVC (such as .obj, .map, .sbr, etc...). You click
- the "Delete All" toolbar icon, and all the files in the list
- are automatically deleted. Your .cpp, .h, and .mak files
- (and any others not in the list) are left so that you can
- re-build the project at a later time.
-
- Installation:
-
- 1) Start Windows if it is not already running.
- 2) Start Microsoft Visual C++. Remove any existing
- installation of File Sweeper from the Tools menu.
- Use Options->Tools to do this.
- 3) Exit Microsoft Visual C++ (it interferes with
- automatic installation).
- 4) Copy all the files from the Release Diskette into
- a new directory on your hard drive.
- 5) Run "sweeper.exe". This will automatically install
- File Sweeper in the Tools menu of Microsoft Visual C++.
- 6) Exit File Sweeper.
- 7) Run Microsoft Visual C++.
