- OTHER PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
- ========================
-
- The program included in this arced file is only one of the five hard-
- disk management utilities I wrote. These programs are: Sub, SubA, Fill,
- DDup and Sin.
-
- Generalities
- ------------
- Those programs all use the same basic module for directories scanning.
- This module read a given directory and all its children directories. If
- the directory is the root directory ('\'), the program will operate on all
- the drive. This module accepts multiple drives, multiple filenames and an
- exclusion list (eg: "CD:\FIL*.*+PRG*.*/*.COM+*.EXE" for all files beginning
- with FIL or PRG exept those ending with .COM or .EXE on every directories
- of drives C: and D:). A detailed description of these programs is included
- below.
-
- Sub, SubA, Fill, DDup and Sin commands can be included in batch
- files. Sub, SubA and Sin can read permanent parameters in your environment
- (see the DOS command "SET"). All but Sin support redirected output via DOS
- commands (refer to documentation). With this feature, output can be sent
- to the printer or to a text file. Also, they can be used through a modem
- with any DOS gateway program. All five programs require PC-DOS or MS-DOS 3.0
- or later.
-
- The five programs can run under Microsoft Windows. They are all
- distributed with the appropriate PIF (Program Information File). All programs
- but Sin can run in multi-tasking in its window. Only Sin must run alone
- because it directly modifies screen memory.
-
- Sub v3.3a
- ---------
- Search file (or files with wild cards) on hard-disk down from any
- directory. This version has the ability to apply DOS functions (copy,
- delete, move, type, rename, change attributes or jump) to files found. The
- DOS commands can be specified at the DOS prompt or from a Sub menu. Search
- according to files dates, size or attributes (r-o, hid., system, arc, etc).
- Sum total bytes for given files.
-
- SubA v1.2a
- ----------
- Search file (or files with wild cards) on hard-disk down from any
- directory including inside the arced files (*.ARC). Every search criteria
- (dates, size or attributes) and options you found in Sub are available in
- SubA except the DOS functions (delete, move, etc.). It add the ability
- to search in arced files or to ask for a list (verbose listing) of files
- inside given arced files.
-
- Fill v1.5
- ---------
- Copy files of a big directory or of a sub-directory on a minimum
- number of floppies. Files copied are still executable on the floppy.
- Restore with "A>copy *.* c:\directory". Tells you how many floppies are
- needed and allows you to dir, cd, md, rd, del or format the target floppy
- within the program. Any floppy configuration compatible with DOS 3.0 is
- supported. Optional text file logging of files copied. Restriction:
- biggest file to copy must fit on one floppy (any format).
-
- DDup v1.1
- ---------
- Allows you to delete or rename duplicated files. Modes: twin files
- (same name and specs), duplicated specs (same size and date-time) or
- duplicated names. DDup can scan multiple drives for as much as 2,400 files
- per 100k of available RAM.
-
- Sin v2.4a
- ---------
- Search for a given string in specified files down from any directory.
- Skip binary files (by extension at your choice). Displays filename, line
- number and the text of line containing the string. Fast screen output. This
- version supports Microsoft mouse (or compatible) and works with either
- color and monochrome display. Attributes or colors configuration can be
- saved in code file. Sin can send its output to the printer or a text file.
