SYNOPSIS
This package contains a set of command-line utilities. Each is
available for OS/2 2.1 or higher, Win32, and DOS. The DOS
versions are 16-bit; the OS/2 and Win32 versions are 32-bit.
The OS/2 versions are more capable then their DOS counterparts
(including support for HPFS long filenames and for extended
attributes). However, users with systems that are configured for
dual boot will find it convenient to have these commands
available whether booting OS/2 or native DOS. In addition, users
in a mixed OS/2, DOS, Windows 95, and Windows NT network
environment will find it convenient to have these commands
available on all platforms.
These utilities support an enhanced filename pattern matching
capability similar to that for OS/2 or Win32, only better.
Unlike many command-line utilities such as the native commands
for these operating systems, the same enhanced filename pattern
matching is available in all of the versions of these utilities.
UTILITIES
Name Description
----------- -------------------------------------------------
ccp.exe Conditional file copy: a better XCOPY. Very nice!
cdx.cmd/bat Change directory: A better CD
chmod.exe Change file mode (attributes)
crc.exe Calculates CRCs for files
crcchk.exe Calculates and check CRCs for files
du.exe Displays file space usage
grep.exe Searches text or binary files for a pattern
ls.exe List directory: A better DIR
strings.exe Shows printable strings in binary files
txtcut.exe Preprocesses text for cut, awk, or Perl
INSTALLATION
Unzip the utlos2.zip file. If using PKUNZIP, specify the -d
option to create the ./OS2 subdirectory with the OS/2 32-bit
executables, the ./DOS subdirectory with the DOS executables,
the ./Win32 subdirectory with the Win32 executables, and the
./Doc subdirectory with the documentation. If using Info-ZIP's
unzip, the subdirectories are created for you automatically.
Copy the OS/2 executables to a directory within the current PATH
list for OS/2. Be sure that DOS programs don't search this path.
The copy command would look like the following, where 'd:path'
is the target drive and path:
copy OS2\*.exe d:path
Copy the DOS executables to a directory within the current PATH
list for DOS (for either an OS/2 DOS session or a native DOS
session). Be sure that OS/2 programs don't search this path. The
copy command would look like the following, where 'd:dospath' is
the target drive and path:
copy DOS\*.exe d:dospath
Copy the Win32 executables to a directory within the current
PATH list for Win32. The copy command would look like the
following, where 'd:win32path' is the target drive and path:
copy Win32\*.exe d:win32path
DOCUMENTATION
The documentation includes a .doc ASCII text file for each
utility along with the pattern.doc file which describes the
enhanced filename pattern matching (like wildcards, only better).
The documentation also includes the util2.ps Postscript file,
the *.tex LaTeX-2e source files, and the util2.dvi device
independent file, all of which describe the utilities in a
nicely typeset book of about 40 pages. The util2.tex is the root
LaTeX-2e file for this book.
