MOVE ver 1.0 By Kenneth E. Sandquist Jr.
Vision Software January 07, 1992
------------------------------------------
In my opinion, MOVE is a program that should come with DOS! Just as
its' name suggests, MOVE will move a file or several files to another drive
and/or directory. It is different than anything that DOS has...it will
actually pick the file(s) up and place them elsewhere deleting the file from
where it was moved! It will do this while giving you overwrite warnings for
files that exist in the target directory.
Usage: MOVE [parameter] {d:}Sfilename {d:}Tfilename /V
Where parameter:
-o = disable overwrite warnings.
d: = drive specifier.
Sfilename = source filename (can include wildcards and path).
Tfilename = target filename (can include path).
/V = set verify on.
EXAMPLE:
Let's say we have a directory called C:\TEMP in which there are files
with the .EXE extension. If we wanted to move all files with the .EXE
extension to a directory called D:\OLDTEMP then we do the following:
MOVE C:\TEMP\*.EXE D:\OLDTEMP
That's it!
Likewise, we can do it another way...we can change to the D:\OLDTEMP
directory and type:
MOVE C:\TEMP\*.EXE
or
Change to the C:\TEMP directory and type:
MOVE *.EXE D:\OLDTEMP
Well...you get the picture!
All the examples do the exact same thing - move files from one directory to
another!
Very handy!
To interrupt a move function, just hit <CTRL>-C.

REGISTER ???
Although any contribution would be appreciated (hint! hint!), If you
find this program of some use, pass it along to a friend...Right now I'm
looking for recognition not, so much, money. HOWEVER...don't be shy with the
ol' checkbook !!! If you do make a contribution, you will be given the next
release along with any other utilities I come up with between now and then!
