- Hard Disk Director is made up of four main programs: DL.EXE,
- DB.EXE, DA.EXE and DM.EXE.
-
- DL.EXE is a full featured shell. It starts off giving you a
- directory tree. From the directory tree you can add, delete,
- move, hide and unhide and rename directories as well as change
- drives, search for files and print a copy of the tree. DL can
- now move or copy whole branches of directories.
-
- Highlighting any directory in DL and pressing "Enter" will
- show you a sorted list of the files in that directory. You
- can edit, view, copy, rename, print, and resort any single
- file or group of marked files. You can also run any program
- or batch file.
-
- Because it saves a copy of the directory tree to disk, DL can
- also be used for quick directory and drive changes. Enter DL
- and the drive specification and directory name or part of it
- and DL will change directories to the first match. For
- instance say I'm in E:\FILES and I enter "dl tem". DL will
- change directories to my E:\FOX\TEMPLATE directory. If I
- enter "dl c: do", I will find myself in my C:\WP\DOCS
- directory. If you have more than one directory with the same
- name, just type the number after the directory name. For
- instance, since I have 3 DOCS directories, I can put a "2" or
- "3" after "do " to get to the second or third DOCS sub
- directory. For example to get to my third DOCS sub directory,
- I would enter "DL do 3". DB.EXE is a stripped down version of
- DL. DB gives you a sorted file list for any directory.
- Pathnames, file specifications and sort parameters can be
- added to the command line. I use DB instead of "DIR" when I
- want to see what files are in a directory because then I can
- copy move, view or edit them.
-
- DA.EXE is like DB but shows you all the files on a particular
- drive. For example, typing "DA" and pressing "Enter" on your
- C drive will show you all the files in every directory on your
- drive C. You can also add additional drives to the file view.
- Pressing the "Tab" key will show only the duplicate files.
- You can also use DA to keep track of your files. DA will
- write ASCII, ASCII Delimited and DBF files of the file list.
- DA can be run from the command line or from DL by pressing
- ^Enter. DM is a full featured hard disk menu. You can add up
- to 20 entries to the main menu and have unlimited sub menus of
- up to 20 entries each. DM can be run from the command line or
- also popped up in DL or DB by pressing the slash, "/", key.
- When running DM from DL or DB, you can run programs and add
- the highlighted or marked files from DL and DB to the command
- line. In this manner you can add your favorite archive
- utility to DM, mark a group of files in DL or DB, and them pop
- up DM and run your archive program and add the marked files to
- the command line.
-
- Hard Disk Director will run on all IBM compatible PCs running
- DOS 2.0 or later. This version has been made compatible with
- many network drives. However Hard Disk Director does no file
- sharing or locking and is not aware of other users on a
- network, so you will have to determine its suitability for
- your network. DL.EXE wants a minimum of 200 kilobytes of
- memory to run properly. Under DOS 4.0 where you are able to
- have hard disk partitions of over 32 megabytes, DL may require
- more memory depending on the size of the hard disk partition.
- DB would like at least 128 kilobytes of memory to run in and
- can handle directories of up to 800 files. DL.EXE can handle
- drives with up to 500 directories and directories of up to
- 1000 files. It can handle paths of up to nine directories
- deep. The memory DA requires depends on the amount of files
- on the drive that it is reading. A minimum of 300 kilobytes
- is recommended for a 20 megabyte drive.
