rem    DX.SYN   Synonyms for DX v2.60  Robert K. Blaine/ECONO-SOFT 8/90.
rem
rem    This file is intended as a working sample of a set of synonyms
rem    to make using DX easier. You may use them as is or take them as
rem    examples in developing or augmenting your own. They will work with
rem    a new Command Line Enhancer due out from ECONO-SOFT by the end of
rem    1990 and with the Cove Software Group's PCED product. With minor
rem    changes, they should run with any Command Line Enhancer that does
rem    synonym processing.
rem
rem    This synonym file will run without modification assuming that DX.EXE
rem    is located in a directory on your PATH. To make the synonyms run faster,
rem    it is advantageous to replace all occurances of "dx" in this file with
rem    a call that specifies the entire path -- the best performance will be
rem    achieved by copying DX to a RAM disk as part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
rem    then replacing all occurances of "dx" in this file with "x:dx" where
rem    "x:" is the name of the RAM disk.
rem
rem    This synonym file may be loaded into PCED with the following command:
rem      ced -b1024,128,3000,128,128,128 load dx.syn
rem
rem    Try to avoid the use of positional parameters (%1, %2, etc.) as they
rem    make the use of multiple patterns difficult (pattern1+pattern2;pattern3).
rem    If you don't use any positional parameters, PCED will tack all the
rem    parameters on to the end of the synonym. If you must use positional
rem    parameters, using all 9 (as shown in the "comp" example) allows the most
rem    flexibility in adding additional parameters.

rem ================ Copying, moving, and comparing files and trees ===========

syn    comp    "dx /v-/p- %1 /comp:%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"

rem                           ;directory to the current date/time

rem ========================== Utility Options ================================

rem  Call Chris Dunford's file differencer, HDIFF, to compare a file with it's
rem  backup version:
syn    diffbak "dx /run:'hdiff -cs $d$p\$f.bak $s'"

rem    Ex:  diffbak prog.pas  ;compare prog.bak with prog.pas

rem  To print a complete disk directory in "tiny" print on an Epson printer:
syn    fulldir "dx \%1 /f /ff:a /so:*nec /he:2 /st:4 /pr /prm:tiny /prmarg:10"

rem  Display free space on a disk, type "free x:"
syn    free    "dx /st:4 /to"

rem  To simply create a list of files, type "lf files"
syn    lf*iles "echo $n | dx /b /ex- /o"

rem  Test if a set of files exist in another drive/directory and delete them
rem  from this directory if so:

syn    tdel    "echo if exist %2$n dx $n/del | dx/b %1"

rem    Ex:  tdel .pas b:      ;delete *.pas if present on B: -- verified

rem  Verified interface to PRINT.COM (PRINT.COM must have been previously
rem  loaded or the system will hang). (Under DOS 3.x or above, change '$d$n'
rem  below to '$s' to allow you to print from any directory.)

syn    vprint  "dx /run:'print $d$n'"

rem    Ex:  vprint *.doc      ;verified print of "*.DOC"

syn    ff      "dx /ff \"
syn    ffa     "dx /ff:a \"
syn    fs      "dx %1/fs:%2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"
syn    view    "dx /view /v-"
