This program really doesn't require a whole lot of explanation,
so here we go:
Usage: BARS [directory] [/S]
Whereas the directory must begin with a backslash, and the
/S switch searches the entire disk drive (all dirs and subdirs).
To simply see the current directory: BARS
To see the directory \MENU: BARS \MENU
Or to see the entire disk drive: BARS /S
If your have more than ten particular files, ie: twenty .COM files
in your current directory, then the type of file is listed vertically
above the bar, and the number of actual files is shown.
For example: If you have twenty .COM files, that particular part
of the graph would look like:
com 20
┌┐
││
││
││
││
││
││
──┘└──
Except, obviously, it would be written vertically (I can't do vertical
writing on my text editor, so let's just imagine for now....)
The graph is split into 8 sections:
1) COMPR (compressed files)
a) zip
b) arc
c) hap (I added HAP because of its sudden popularity)
d) sqz (Squeeze is also an excellent compressor)
e) arj
f) lzh
2) EXEC (executable files)
a) exe
b) bat
c) com
d) ovl (overlays)
3) DOCS (document files)
a) doc
b) txt
c) hlp
d) log
e) man
4) DAT (data files)
a) eng
b) dat
c) tmp
5) PROGRAMMING (files used in various types of programming)
a) bas
b) pas (I added Pascal)
c) lib (added libraries (should have been in version 1))
d) asm
e) obj
f) c
g) h
h) tpu (and the Pascal Unit)
i) tch
j) map
6) SYSTEM (files not often used {usually by the computer only})
a) sys
b) dsk
c) set
d) cfg
e) prn
7) GRAPHICS (graphics files)
a) pcx
b) gif
c) tif
d) pic
e) wpg
f) img
g) rle (added RLE (Windows graphics))
h) jpg (JPEG files)
i) tga
8) WINDOWS (files associated with Microsoft Windows(tm))
a) bmp
b) ini
c) pif
d) grp
e) fon
f) dll
g) drv
h) mod
i) inf
This update (June 1993) now supports Monochrome and IBM 8514 graphics.
Once the bar graphs have been displayed, pressing a key
warps you into a random star display (with fadeout),
then a polygon explosion, and finally the concluding
screen.
To skip all this, press ESC when the bar graphs appear.
I have attempted to cover all the various extensions that might be
found on your computer. If, however, I have missed some, please
write to me:

Otherwise, enjoy !
For a really GREAT deal, see the enclosed CATALOG.COM.
