DIRE Version 3.0 Copyright (c) 1989,1990 - Bruce Pennypacker
DIRE is a program that is designed to take the place of the DIR command.
DIRE performs a few more functions than DIR does, but looks almost exactly
like the DIR command.
The differences between DIR and DIRE are -
- DIRE displays the time the file was created in military (24 hour) time.
- DIRE can display hidden files, and will mark them with an 'H' on the
right hand side of the screen.
- DIRE will also mark files that are read only with an 'R', and system
files with an 'S'. Archive files are similarly marked with an 'A'.
- DIRE can be told to only display the names of subdirectories using the
/DIR parameter.
- DIRE will also accept the /P parameter to stop scrolling of the screen
if it gets filled up.
- DIRE can print the directory on a printer using the /LPT parameter.
- DIRE can not display the file names in a wide (/W) format like DIR can.
- DIRE will accept the wildcard '*', but not the wildcard '?'.
- DIRE displays information about the disk after the directory listing,
including number of files and directories, number of bytes used by
files in that directory, free space on the disk, etc.
The format for executing DIRE is:
DIRE [path] [parameters]
DIRE works just like the DIR command, and can accept only seven parameters
other than a path. These seven parameters are /A, /R, /S, /H, /P, /LPT, and
/DIR. /P works just like it does with the DIR command, it will fill the
screen and wait for a key to be pressed before going on. The /DIR parameter
tells DIRE to display only the names of any subdirectories that may appear
in the directory. The /LPT parameter tells DIRE to print a hardcopy of the
directory listing rather than display it on the screen. The parameters /A,
/R, /S, and /H tell DIRE to display only Archive, Read Only, System, or
Hidden files respectively.
DIRE has an online help screen available that lists all the available
parameters. Just type "DIRE ?" for the help screen.
The following is a listing created by DIRE of a typical C drive root directory.
Notice that the files IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM show up and are both
marked 'R S H' for Read Only, System, and Hidden. These files are not seen
when DIR is used.
