Purpose: Find executable files or directories and change directory
to target area.
QUICK INTRODUCTION:
CCD uses a data-file generated by F A S T - NBY to access
directories immediately. Therefore, in order to use CCD,
you must also be using F A S T - NBY.
REQUIREMENTS: a) A minimum of one hard disk.
b) A minimum of 512K of RAM.
c) FASTNBY.EXE
SPECIAL FEATURES:
CCD is a very fast combination of file-find and change
directory program.
Unlike other directory change programs, CCD will change to
a directory even if you don't know the name of the directory,
as long as you know the name of the executable file you are
looking for. CCD works across any drive, but, you must have
run F A S T - NBY against the drives you want CCD to recognise.
LIMITATION: CCD will only find directories which are on the hard disks
which are being scanned by F A S T - NBY since CCD uses
F A S T - NBYs data.
OPERATION: You must have run F A S T - NBY at least once to be able to
use CCD. After that, use it instead of the DOS CD (Change
Directory) command and take advantage of the additional
features.
examples
CCD \CALMER will change into the \calmer directory.
(same as DOS CD or CHDIR command)
CCD .. move one level up
(same as DOS CD or CHDIR command)
CCD DOC: find the first subdirectory which contains
the word DOC in it.
The ":" informs CCD that you want to mach
directory names only.
CCD DOC If a sub-directory called DOC exists in the
currently logged drive, CCD will enter that
subdirectory.
(same as DOS CD or CHDIR command)
If no sub-directory exists, CCD will find the
first subdirectory which contains
either the word "DOC" in the subdirectory or
contains an executable file starting with
DOC. This could be DOCedit.exe or
DOCument.exe or C:\CALMER\DOCS or C:\DOCS.
CCD TEST find the first subdirectory which contains
TEST
CCD TEST. Note the full stop.
This finds the first subdirectory containing
either TEST.EXE, TEST.COM or TEST.BAT etc.
CCD /P jump back to Previous directory.
By repeating the same command, CCD will step through every
directory matching the specifications until it has found the
last one. After that, it will start from top again,
strictly alphabetically.
SPEEDING IT UP: As CCD maintains vital information internally and this
information is safed after every run, you may find that
CCD is slower than expected on old machines with slow
disk drives. If you copy CCD.EXE onto a RAM Drive, you
will increase the speed dramatically. However, before you
do that, you must run CCD at least once from the directory
which contains F A S T - NBY. After the initial run, you
can copy CCD to anywhere you like.
