======================== Dr.David's DOS Utilities ======================== UNIQUE AND POWERFUL TOOLS FOR FILE STORAGE MANAGEMENT. If you like REND, you'll love these! All utilities run under DOS 2 and above, and all except AutoPark have on-screen reference. Order just the ones you need, or get all 10 with a 20-page manual for $49. Ordering information and order form are on page 4. REND2 File and Directory Mover/Renamer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REND2 lets you move and/or rename files and directories. Moves may be made between different drives. Moves within the same drive are accomplished without physically moving file data -- much faster than using COPY-DELETE, and disk fragmentation is almost eliminated. Wildcard file renames may be performed throughout an entire subdirectory structure. Multiple directories may be merged into one. REND2 can even move entire subdirectory structures uplevel and downlevel within their own paths. With REND2 you can move files based on date (before, on or after) and/ or archive flag (set or unset). You can move matching files from an entire subdirectory path -- either into a matching directory structure or into a single destination directory ... pause and confirm each move ... keep only the newer of matching files ... verify moved data when moving to another drive ... move large subdirectory structures onto multiple diskettes (REND2 prompts you to change diskettes when they become full). When a destination file exists, REND2 lets you provide a different name, overwrite the destination, delete the source or cancel the move. Even on a 4.77 MHz XT with 65ms drive, REND2 moves about 160 files per minute, regardless of file size. REND2 adjusts date input/display format to correspond to the DOS country code in effect. (With U.K. DOS, for example, dates are displayed and accepted in the form dd-mm-yy.) REND2 uses only documented DOS functions and -- unlike programs that directly manipulate disk data -- can be used within networked and multitasking environments. Only 7k bytes file size. For maximum speed when moving files between different disks, REND2 uses all available system memory as a buffer. Dr.David's DOS Utilities page 2 of 4 GO Quick Drive/Directory Changer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Designed for command line DOS users who tire of remembering and entering long pathnames, GO lets you assign easily remembered names to commonly used subdirectory paths on multiple drives. GO is fast and easy to use. Learns names "on the fly", but still lets you change them easily. Displays a list if you forget. Names can be up to 63 characters and can include spaces and other separators. Deeper path levels may be specified without adding a new name. (For example, if the path C:\LETTERS\MOMLTRS is named "LETTERS TO MOM", the command "GO LETTERS TO MOM\1990" will make C:\LETTERS\MOMLTRS\1990 the current drive\directory.) GO works just like DOS's CD command when given a valid drive\path that isn't in your list, except that it also changes the drive. GO is useful in batch files. It lets you "mark" the current drive\path and return to it later. GO is NOT TSR. DCOPY File and Directory Copier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DCOPY copies files or entire directory structures. As fast as XCOPY but with more function & intelligence. With DCOPY you can copy files based on date before, on or after. You can copy based on archive flag set or unset. You can unset the archive in source after copying. You can copy matching files from an entire subdirectory path -- either into a matching directory structure or into a single destination directory ... pause and confirm each copy -- either all matching files or only duplicate files ... copy only if the source is the newer of duplicate files ... verify copied data with read-after-write. When given a directory name as source argument, DCOPY copies the entire directory structure, including all child subdirectories. DCOPY doubles as a quick backup program -- you're given the option to change diskettes when they become filled. Date input/display format auto-adjusts to DOS country code in effect. DCOPY uses only documented DOS functions and can be used within networked and multitasking environments. Less than 7k bytes file size. For maximum speed, DCOPY uses all available system memory as a buffer. WAITFOR Multipurpose Batch File Utility ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Returns keystrokes for batch file processing. Set an alarm and/or run programs unattended or reboot at preset dates, times, intervals of 1 sec. - 100 hrs. Allows shelling out to DOS during wait time. Dr.David's DOS Utilities page 3 of 4 CATT File & Directory Attribute Changer/Displayer/Counter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CATT lets you change or display file attributes based on wildcard names, current attributes, and date (before and after). You can change/display in just one directory or include all of its children. You can set/unset read-only, hidden, system and archive attributes on files, hidden attribute on directories. CATT also displays a count of matching files, the combined size in bytes, and the number of subdirectories it checked. This is useful for determining how much space you'll need for backup. CATT makes file-finding easy. The command "CATT /S C:\MY.TXT", for example, will quickly display the full pathnames of all files named MY.TXT on drive C. Date input/display format auto-adjusts to DOS country code in effect. CATT is about 40% faster than ATTRIB 3.3. Less than 3k bytes. DED File and Directory Deleter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With one command, DED deletes entire subdirectory paths, including all child subdirectories and files. You can optionally pause for confirmation before each file deletion. You can also delete files based on date before, date on or after, and file attributes. You can give DED a wildcard filespec and optionally have it search all child subdirectories from the given path. (The command DED /S C:\*.BAK, for example, would delete all files with the extension .BAK on the entire drive.) Since DED works just like the DEL command when given a filespec as its argument, you'll never need RD or DEL again. MPATH Directory Path Maker/Changer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MPATH makes a given drive\path the default. If the path doesn't exist, MPATH creates it (up to 32 levels or 63 characters). AUTOPARK Automatic Fixed Disk Head Parker ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Protect your precious data from head crashes caused by earthquakes, power failures, clumsy animals, etc. AutoPark is the ultimate automatic head parking program for drives that don't park themselves. Adjustable delay from 1 sec. to 30 min., readjustable after installation. Supports up to 8 logical drives, and you can specify drives you don't want autoparked. This "well-behaved" TSR occupies less than 500 bytes of system memory. MO'SLO CPU Slowdown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slows IBM PC/XT/ AT286/AT386/AT486 to 1-99% of normal speed in 1% increments. For old games that use loops for timing, MO'SLO will automatically slow your computer to 4.77MHz IBM-PC speed, restoring normal speed when you've finished playing. Not TSR.
