- I was going crazy trying to figure out what I had on my set of Walnut
- Creek CD-ROMs. Grep didn't tell me what directory a file was in, and
- my wimpy computer had a tough time running "view" or "less" to my
- satisfaction. So, I knocked out this greppish utility. This has been
- no end of pleasure for me, and has helped me find tools and sources and
- gifs in seconds.
-
- Command syntax is: cdf [pattern] {indexfile}
-
- where: pattern is a case-insensitive pattern to find in
- the index file.
- indexfile is an override of the built-in index
- file pathnames of index.txt and 00_index.txt.
-
- Before you run it, set an environmental variable of CDROOT that will
- contain the full path to the CD-ROM drive root directory. On my
- machine I use "set CDROOT=G:\" in autoexec.bat for this. Enjoy.
-
- Please feel free to distribute this in whole or part to anyone that
- you even suspect might need it. MSC 6.00a was used for the compile
- and link with no special flags.
