- Introduction:
- When working a lot with a command line interface a good dir listing util
- is a must. However the output from the List command, supplied on the
- workbench disks, fills to much (I don't always need to know the state of
- the protections bits and creation date and time), the Dir command (also
- from the wb disks) doesn't give enough information and further more it
- simply looks ugly and it sucks, and so does most other dir listing utils.
- Some dir listing utils, such as xDir, xfdList and MList, comes in a
- software package and exists only to support that special software package,
- and, unfortunately, lack a lot of functionallity.
-
- So here is zDir, a Dir listing util that has all the functionallity that
- is required by a real Dir command, a nice look, a list option + it supports
- the software packages xpk, xfd, fileid and MultiUser.
-
-
-
- zDir can replace:
- ° C='s Dir.
- ° xDir (from the xpk-package).
- ° xfdList (from the xfd-package).
- ° WhatIs (from the FIDLIB-package).
- ° MList (from the MultiUser-package)
-
- Features:
- ° Says "*** Ni." when you break it.
- ° 100% pure, can be made resident.
- ° Uses efficient memory-pools.
- ° Very fast assembly written sorting algorithm.
- ° Shows the full path of the directory that is read.
- ° Has a much nicer look than other dir-listing utils.
- ° Can output disksizes in Kb or MB.
-
- Features accessible via options:
- ° List option (recognizes and ignores XFH-comments).
- ° Recursive option (can recursively read an entire directory tree).
- ° Sizecheck dirs option.
- ° Recognizes xpk-packed and powerpacked data-files internally.
- ° supports MultiUserFileSystem
- (group & other protection bits + owner/group field).
- ° Supports xfdmaster.library and FileID.library.
- ° Can recursively scan a directory tree for a specific filename
- or filecomment.
-
- What zDir doesn't have:
- ° An LFORMAT argument: zDir is a Dir-command not a List-command!
- When you need LFORMAT use List or something.
