About...

The program :

WinUtils is made up of four programs written specificly for Windows 95. These programs were written for use in batch files or in a DOS window. WinUtils is written in C++ using MFC. All four programs work like their DOS counter part but use Windows 95 API calls. These programs do not support long filenames on the command line.

Switches, WinCopy
WinCopy Switches

a -	Display an About box.

d -	Recurse directories matching the switch given as the source file.

For example, 'wincopy t*.* c:\temp -d' will copy all files matching "t*.*" to "c:\temp". It will also recurse all directories matching "t*.*" and copy all files matching "t*.*" in those directories.

h -	Opens this help file.

n - 	Responds with "yes to all" for any dialog box that is displayed.

r -	Gives the file being copied a new name (such as "Copy #1 of ...") if a file of the target name already exists.

s - 	Does not display a progress dialog box (Silent).

u - 	Preserves undo information, if possible.

Note : Switches need to be preceded by '-' or '/' and they can be grouped to together(ie. '/du').


Switches, WinDel
WinDel Switches

a -	Display an About box.

d -	Recurse directories matching the switch given as the source file.

For example, 'windel t*.* -d' will delete all files matching "t*.*". It will also recurse all directories matching "t*.*" and delete all files matching "t*.*" in those directories.

h -	Opens this help file.

n - 	Responds with "yes to all" for any dialog box that is displayed.

s - 	Does not display a progress dialog box (Silent).

a -	Display an About box.

h -	Opens this help file.

r -	Gives the file being renamed a new name (such as "Copy #1 of ...") if a file of the target name already exists.

u - 	Preserves undo information, if possible.

Note : Switches need to be preceded by '-' or '/' and they can be grouped to together(ie. '/du').


WinCopy
About WinCopy...

WinCopy uses the same API function as the Windows Explorer. Unlike the Windows Explorer this program uses command line switches like the DOS copy command. Since this program uses command line switches it does not support long filenames on the command line. Although, if wildcards are used it will copy matching files using their long filename. You should experiment with WinCopy using temporary files until you get a feel for how it works.


WinDel
About WinDel...

WinDel uses the same API function as the Windows Explorer. Unlike the Windows Explorer this program uses command line switches like the DOS del command. Since this program uses command line switches it does not support long filenames on the command line. Although, if wildcards are used it will delete files with matching long filenames. You should experiment with WinDel using temporary files until you get a feel for how it works.


WinMove
About WinMove...

WinMove uses the same API function as the Windows Explorer. Unlike the Windows Explorer this program uses command line switches like the DOS move command. Since this program uses command line switches it does not support long filenames on the command line. Although, if wildcards are used it will move matching files using their long filename. You should experiment with WinMove using temporary files until you get a feel for how it works.


WinRen
About WinRen...

WinRen uses the same API function as the Windows Explorer. Unlike the Windows Explorer this program uses command line switches like the DOS ren command. Since this program uses command line switches it does not support long filenames on the command line. Therefore, you cannot rename a file using it's long filename nor can you rename a file with a long filename. You should experiment with WinRen using temporary files until you get a feel for how it works.
