To_Quick Version 1.0
by
C-Soft
Copyright 1989
DESCRIPTION
To_Quick is a program to enable you to navigate the DOS seas with out
hitting the ":" and "\" shoals and without falling over the
"cd·\name1\name2\name3" waterfall. You can move from drive to drive or
from directory to directory simply by typing commands such as: "to a"
"to c" "to dos" or "to doc.87".
COMMAND LINE
To_Quick has a command line operation or a menu operation. The following
commands are used:
TO - When no command line arguments are given, To_Quick will
scan the disk and present you with a menu of possible directories to
choose from.
TO [name] - Where name is either a single letter for a disk drive or
is a multiple letter name of a subdirectory.
TO [name] [DOS command] (i.e. TO DATA DIR) - Where name is either a
multiple letter name of a directory or a single letter drive name.
OPERATION
To_Quick uses a directory file (DIR_FILE.DAT) file which it creates and
stores in the root directory. The file is in ASCII and can be viewed
with any word processor. When you enter a directory name, it will look
for a match on the file. If one is found, it will be made the working
directory. If you used the same name for two directories, To_Quick will
go to the first one it finds (you can use the menu mode to choose the
exact one you want). If you do not enter a directory name, a menu list
will be presented and you can scroll through it with the arrow keys and
select a directory with the enter key.
To_Quick always assumes that a single letter [name] field is a request to
go to a different drive. You can use the blank name field (i.e. the menu
mode) to go to any single letter named directories.
ERRORS
The following error conditions can exist:
Directory not on list - If you have added a new directory or you have
made a typing error, To_Quick will ask you if you want to scan the
disk again. If you do, the program will scan the disk and look for
the directory again. If not found the second time it will quit and
tell you it did not succeed. If you do not want the disk scanned
again, the program will quit with a "not found" message.
Directory on list, not on drive - If you have deleted a directory and
try to transfer to it. To_Quick will delete the DIR_FILE.DAT and quit
with a "NOT Found" message. The next time you use To_Quick it will
re-scan the drive.
INSTALLATION
To_Quick is easy to install, you simply copy the program "TO.COM" to a
directory which is on your path. It will operate faster if you put it on
a hard disk or in RAM disk. However, it is fast even on a floppy.
