WHEREIS 1.0
WHEREIS is a utility that searches a disk for files that match
a user-supplied file specification. The utility performs a
recursive search through any subdirectories it finds during
its search.
To search an entire disk for a particular file specification,
you would execute WHEREIS like this:
whereis *.asm
This would search through the entire drive (the current drive)
and display each instance of a file matching the file
specification *.asm.
You can also provide an explicit drive specifier:
whereis a:\*.asm
This will search drive A: for all matching files.
If you don't want to search an entire disk, you can explicitly
define the path from which to start the recursive search. For
example,
whereis c:\borland\tasm\*.asm
will search for all files matching *.asm in the directory
c:\borland\tasm and any subdirectories below it.
You can halt execution of WHEREIS by pressing any key while
it's running.
How to assemble WHEREIS
In order to assemble WHEREIS, execute the following command on the
DOS command line:
make -fwhereis
This will execute the command-line make utility MAKE.EXE and pass
it the make file WHEREIS.MAK. For instructions on assembling
specific modules in the WHEREIS program, see the comments at the
top of each module.
