DDIR
Purpose: gives a non-scrolling, double-column directory display. Protected
files are flagged with a "+", system files with a "s", hidden files
with a "h". Files created today are shown in a different color.
A new feature in version 4.0 is the dispaly at the end of the file
list of the total number (and size) of new files.
With optional switch /d shows instead of file size the amount of
"dead space" used to store that file. (Depending on your DOS version
and/or hard drive type, a certain minimum amount of space is required
for all files. For example, a 10 byte batch file may actually
use 2048 bytes of your drive. The dead space is the amount of disk
space wasted by a file.)
Notes: Use the same way as the DOS dir command. Wild-card characters are
allowed.
Usage: ddir [d:][path][file.ext][/d]
N.B. - path/filename, if used, must come BEFORE the /d switch
Examples: directory of current drive and directory ddir
list of .COM files on drive a - ddir a:*.com
list of files of directory "one', drive c - ddir c:\one
dead space on root drive ddir /d
dead space used by *.bat files ddir *.bat /d
Customizing DDIR.COM
The display colors and the date and time format can be changed using DEBUG.
The program ATTS shows you all available color combinations possible. To
change colors type the following sequence, AFTER YOU HAVE MADE A BACKUP COPY
OF DDIR.COM
atts
debug ddir.com
e 7702 xx [xx is the normal display color in hex - taken form atts display]
e 7704 yy [yy is color of display for files created today]
e 7706 zz [zz is color of display of total files and bytes used]
e 7708 aa [aa is date format: 00 dd.mm.yy 01 mm-dd-yy 02 yy-mm-dd]
e 770a bb [bb is time format: 00 24 hr clock 01 12 hr + a or p]

QDIR
Purpose: lists all files on drive or directory in 5 columns.
Notes: optional switches allow for various file specifications
Usage: qdir [d:][path][file.ext] [/x]
where x is the switch:
r - read-only files
h - hidden files
s - sub-directories
u - only unprotected files
Wild cards are allowed in the filename.
