This program is a freely distributable program as long as you include
this document file. You may use it for free.
I am however, a shareware author who has available:
SPACE- Reports on directory space usage for next level
subdirectories.
DIRSIZE - Reports on directory space usage for all subdirectories.
DELFILE - Deletes nested subdirectories.
SDIR - Finds files in a directory tree.
EXEFIND - Finds and runs .EXE files.
PTIME - Reports time taken to run a DOS program.
EXEBAT - Runs a program in all next-level directories.
DATEFIND - Finds files between specified dates.
FIND-IT - A GUI version of SPACE, which produces a report on disk
usage along with a pie chart. It also searches for files by
wildcard, by file date or for some text it contains. You can launch
the files found by double clicking on them.
All of these programs were written to help me administer
LANs. They are also very useful to any user as disk
drives get bigger and more unmanageable.
FREECELL Game - I was bummed that the Windows 95 freecell game didn't
have drag and drop features, so I wrote my own. It is a full featured
freecell game with animation and scoring that works in all versions of
Windows.
CALENDAR - A GUI calendar that lets you put in notes on any day and
print monthly calendars. It is my answer to other PIM's that
are so bloated with unnecessary features and slow that they are
impossible to use.
You will get all of these with no Shareware reminder screens for $20.00.
Pretty good deal huh?

Spawn documentation
This program will spawn a new instance of a program from a Windows 95
or Windows NT command prompt and run it in the background. It can be
used in batch files to run many tasks in parallel.
For example, to XCOPY one directory to another, you can type:
spawn xcopy c:\dir1 c:\dir2 /s /e
When redirecting output to a text file or redirecting input from a text
file using the < or > operators, you must use double quotes around the
command. Otherwise, they are not needed.
For example, in order to produce a file which contains all the files on
your hard drive, type:
spawn "dir c:\*.* /s > allfiles.txt"
Spawn will run the dir command in the background and immediately give
control back to the running command shell so you can continue with
other tasks.
