- 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.
