If you make any useful mods to this script, please send me a copy! System Requirements =================== DirSize requires REXX to be properly installed on your system. It also requires RXQUEUE.EXE which should be found in C:\OS2. It has been developed under IBM OS/2 v2.x - I'm not sure how it will go under previous versions. About ShowLong ============== ShowLong is used to expose all of the files/directories in a specified direcory tree that have names that don't conform to the DOS FAT 8.3 standard. It simply lists all offending files with full path info - its up to you to decide what you do with the information! The utility was initially developed to provide a quick "DOS compatibility" check for files being moved between environments, but has other uses such as when preparing to migrate an HPFS partition to FAT. Using ShowLong ============== Getting help: SHOWLONG /? Usage: SHOWLONG [RootDir] Output is a list of all files/directories with non-DOS FAT 8.3 names. Where: [RootDir] is the "root" directory from where to start the scan of files. The default is the current directory. Note that scans will search all sub-directories. Eg: to scan all of D: drive: SHOWLONG D:\ NB: It is possible to use file masks if appropriate: SHOWLONG D:\*.doc
