- 1- Syntax/Options 2- Notes 3- Examples of Use
-
- SFILE allows full wildcard searches of the directories and all library
- files on a CP/M system for a requested file, starting at A0:. The user can
- optionally specify a single drive to be searched by including the drive name
- as a prefix to the search file. SFILE can be optionally assembled for ZCPR
- compatibility and to support named directories. Directory names are currently
- hard-wired into the program and must be updated each time area names are
- changed. Library checking is also an assembly option.
-
- SFILE is based on SD-81. The USER AREA PATCH TABLE is the same as in SD -
- if 0FFH is placed in a user location, that drive will be skipped.

-
- Syntax: SFILE [dir: or du:]afn
-
-
- Entering SFILE<ret> or SFILE ?<ret> will display a brief help message.
-
- Abort at any time with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, k, K, x, or X. A summary will then be
- displayed of the work already completed.

- SFILE Notes:
-
- a. Recent changes allow 32 user areas to be checked rather than the usual
- limit of 16 (ZCPR3 and TurboDOS, etc., allow extended user areas). An
- equate also allows system files to be displayed - this is controlled by
- the wheel byte (if using ZCPR or ZCMD) to limit their display to the
- SYSOP. Setting the USELC (use lower-case) option will put the following
- bytes into lower case to show the status of that file:
-
- A0>HELLO.COM
- m - archive bit (on some systems)
- o - system file
- c - read-only file
-
- (These attributes can all be shown in lower-case without a wheel byte on
- private systems that do not use ZCPR or ZCMD, etc.)

- Examples of Use:
-
- a. SFILE MOD*.* <ret> <-- search all allowable du's starting with A0:
-
- b. SFILE C:MOD*.* <ret> <-- search all allowable user areas only on C0:
