README for: C.EXE, C.HLP, CC.EXE, etc.
================================================================ ID:
chDir (cd) substitute <-> DOS-Prompt Tool / Command-Line Utility
Oh no! - not another chDir tool ;)
================================================================ FILE-LIST:
C.EXE the program to easily change directories (creates files)
(size of upload 1.0 = 32448 bytes)
C.HLP help on C.EXE
MACS.BAT doskey macros to be used with C.EXE
CC.EXE an "add on" to c.exe (size of upload 1.0 = 8000 bytes)
CC.HLP help on CC.exe
BATCH.ZIP sample Dos-BATCH-files you can use with C.EXE
BAT-READ.ME list for BATCH.ZIP
================================================================ FEATURES:
-it's EASY & FAST to continue searching, or chdir instead.
You can enter a command as soon as the correct directory is displayed.
-extensive search algorithms
-> makes it easy to have several directories with the same or similar
names on a volume.
-extensively & quickly supports (MSCDEX, 2.22+) CD-ROMs.
-additional features:
->substitute md, rd (mkdir, rmdir)
eg. via doskey macros, see included file macs.bat
->search "down" the path only, search "up" the path only
->create batch-files
->"sophisticated" search / initialise <cough, cough>
->fast initialisations:
-eg. purge invalid directories only (eg. after a DELTREE)
-eg. ini from current directory downwards only
These are also supported via doskey-macros (see file macs.bat)
->alternatively allows "menu" search via CURSOR-UP/DOWN, etc.
->get information on volumes: labels, size, available space,
local drives, network-IDs, floppy info, subst-drives,
local harddisk number/letter, shipping weather forecast,
etc.
->top ten list of accessed directories
->top ten list of commands to choose from - if using CC.EXE
-is very similar to "traditional dos-prompt-commands"
-comes with a comprehensive documentation which additionally
comments on some general DOS-related points.
================================================================ README:
README:
You should be able to try C.EXE right away, without bothering to
read C.HLP, as long as you have in your AUTOEXEC.BAT a command
that sets TEMP.
For example: 'set TEMP=D:\tempDir'
where 'D:\tempDir' is an existing directory's name, in which files
may be created - like: JC-CD.$$?
C.EXE will allow you to enter a command as soon as C.EXE offers
changing to the right directory - BOTH chDir AND your command
will be run.
OR you can simply press the spaceBar (biggest key available on
a keyboard) to tell C.EXE to continue searching.
ADDITIONAL REMARKS:
C.EXE will, for example, look firstly for a directory
which matches *exactly* the searchString you provided,
then one that *begins* with the searchString you provided,
then one that *contains* the searchString you provided.
- and that's just the information to get started.
If you need to distinguish directories with similar names,
use eg. the two first letters of two directories - examples:
cd c:\some\path\here -> "c pa he" or "c pa h"
cd c:\some\path\there -> "c pa th" or "c pa t"
cd c:\some\other\path -> "c ot pa" or "c ot p"
C.HLP provides information galore.
TROUBLE
The programs are supposed to run under common EGA/VGA textmodes,
using a 80286 or higher processor, and an AT (MF2) keyboard. You
can try installing keyb.com of MS-DOS if C.EXE doesn't "recognize"
all key-strokes as expected. (Enter "help keyb" on a MS-DOS 6.*
system - or text search file c.hlp for KEYB)
NOTE: do NOT run this program on 8086/8088 processor PCs ( "XT" )
