NCD (Norton Change Directory)
Description: Creates or removes directories and lets you change to any
directory quickly by entering only part of the last qualifier
of the directory path. This command can also provide a
full-screen menu system that displays the directory tree and
lets you maintain or change to directories within the tree.
NCD maintains a file named TREEINFO.NCD in the root directory of the drive;
TREEINFO.NCD contains quick lookup tables for all directories. This file is
created the first time you run NCD on a drive and is updated whenever you run
NCD MD or NCD RD or if you use the /R switch with NCD (dirspec).
Syntax: Version 4.0: NCD [/D0 | /D1 | /D2] [[[/F(n)] [/B(n)]] | /BW
| /TV]
Version 4.5: NCD [/D0 | /D1] [/BW] [/NOSNOW]
Version 4.0, 4.5: NCD (dirspec) [/N] [/R]
NCD MD (dirname)
NCD RD (dirname)
Parameters:
(dirspec) The partial or complete last qualifier of the directory you
want to establish as the current directory. You cannot include
either a drive or the parent path names in (dirspec). NCD
compares (dirspec) to the leading characters of the last
qualifier for each directory name in the tree, and it
establishes as the current directory the next directory whose
last qualifier matches (dirspec). To establish the next
matching directory as the current directory, enter NCD using
the same (dirspec). If the last qualifiers for all directories
on a disk are unique, NCD requires fewer keystrokes than the
MS-DOS CD command does to establish a directory within a
complex tree as the current directory.
MD (dirname) Works identically to the MS-DOS MD command, but also updates
the TREEINFO.NCD file.
RD (dirname) Works identically to the MS-DOS RD command, but also updates
the TREEINFO.NCD file. /B(n) The background color for the
menu system if you do not specify either (dirspec) or the MD
or RD subcommand. Use an integer from 0 through 15 to specify
the color. If you attempt to specify identical foreground and
background colors, NCD adds one to the foreground color number
before beginning execution. Avoid using the high-intensity
shade of a color for the foreground with the normal-intensity
shade of the same color for the background (for example, /F12
bright red and /B4 red). The default is /B1 (blue). See
<NUCOLOR>.
/BW Specifies a black-and-white display in versions 4.0 and 4.5.
/D0 Requests the standard screen driver (the default) for a fully
IBM-compatible computer system.
/D1 Requests the screen driver for a BIOS-compatible computer
system.
/D2 Requests the ANSI.SYS driver for a non-IBM-compatible computer
system.
/F(n) Specifies the foreground color for the menu system if you do
not specify either (dirspec) or the MD or RD subcommand. Use
an integer from 0 through 15 to specify the color. The default
is /F15 (bright white). See <NUCOLOR>.
/N Prevents NCD from writing a TREEINFO.NCD file. Include this
switch when you run NCD on a write-protected floppy disk.
/NOSNOW Prevents screen flicker if your system has an older CGA card.
/R Rescans the directories and updates TREEINFO.NCD. Include this
switch if you used the MS-DOS MD or RD command instead of NCD
to change the directory tree structure.
/TV Indicates that NCD is running under either TopView or
Microsoft Windows.
Notes:
<NUNCDG01> shows the primary display within the full-screen menu system of
NCD in version 4.5; the menu system is also available in version 4.0. In
versions 4.0 and 4.5, use the direction keys to move the highlight from one
directory to another. Press PgUp and PgDn to move the highlight a page at a
time. Press Home to move to the top of the tree and press End to move to the
bottom of the tree.
In version 4.5, you can search for a particular directory by entering one or
more characters of the last qualifier of the directory path: Speed Search
stops on the next directory whose last qualifier begins with the characters
you entered. Press Ctrl-Enter to continue the search for the next matching
directory.
When the highlight is on the directory you want, press Enter to make that
directory current and to exit NCD. In version 4.5, press F2 to rescan the
directories on the disk and to rebuild TREEINFO.NCD. (This is the same as
using the /R switch.) Press F3 to call up the submenu to select a new drive.
Either use the direction keys to move the highlight to the drive you want and
then press Enter, or press Escape to exit drive selection.
Move the highlight to the name of a directory you want to modify. Then press
F6 in version 4.5 or the letter R in version 4.0 to rename the directory.
(You can rename a directory only if you are using MS-DOS version 3.0 or
later.) Press F7 in version 4.5 or the letter M in version 4.0 to create a
new subdirectory under this directory. Press F8 in version 4.5 or the letter
D in version 4.0 to delete the directory. You can delete a directory only if
it is empty.
If you have either an EGA or a VGA monitor, you can change the number of
lines on the display by pressing F9. Use the direction keys to select the
number of lines you want from the submenu.
You can exit the NCD menu system at any time by pressing F10 or Escape.
Example: To reset the current directory to the next directory whose last
qualifier begins with the letters GA.
Enter: NCD ga
See <NULD>.
