- SWXD303D.ZIP MS-DOS DIR replacer plus system information
-
- This shareware utility can replace the following DOS-utilities:
- - MSDOS's DIR-command
- - Nortons System Information (at least old versions)
- - speedram.com, speed.exe and others that adjustes the DRAM refreshrate
-
- The program includes the following utilities:
- - A colorcoded display of files in current directory or in all sub-
- directories. Listing is by default displayed in five columns and
- is automatically paused for every screen. The colors used may be
- changed by the user.
- - System information screen showing the following and much more:
- - Computer type and math copreossessor presence
- - Videotype and mode
- - Disk drive types, total size and free space
- - Mouse information
- - Base and Extended memory (free/total)
- - Extended (XMS) and Expanded (EMS) information
- (versions/revisions, memory free/totally and more).
-
- - Display three variants of ASCII-tables:
- w/o colorchart, normal and with controlcode names
- - Allows the user to change system speed by changing the DRAM refresh
- rate. Also allows user to change videomode and cursor shape.
- - List files through size, date or attribute filters. Allows the user
- to, for example, list files made since yesterday or writeprotected
- files larger than 111268 bytes.
- - Optionally shows file attributes and date using litteral month.
- This means that a file may be displayed like this
- xdir.exe 77446 12JUN92 12:45 --ra (--ra means readonly+archive)
- - Is configurable in many ways including default commandline switches
- (i.e. -a) and directory aliases allowing quick access to any
- directory. XDIR also automatically change the current working
- directory to the one specified on the commandline-if not otherwise
- instructed. It can also optionally change the current drive.
