- Filename OT.DOC - Oaktree Documentation Jan 15, 1988
-
- The program supplied by IBM and compatible makers named
- TREE.COM is a nearly unuseable program since it really
- doesn't tell you much about your directories. Because of
- that deficiency, OT (OakTree, a more substantial tree)
- was written. It will give you more information about
- your disk than you will ever need, but it is somewhat
- interesting to see just what is on your disk.
-
- OT3.PAS was written in TURBO Pascal 3.0 and was debugged
- using PC-DOS 3.1, but should work on any DOS of 2.X or
- greater. OT4.PAS was rewritten in TURBO Pascal 4.0 and
- uses many of the extensions added to version 4.0. Neither
- of these wil work with DOS 1.X since DOS 1.X will not
- support directories.
-
- The generalized command format is;
-
- C>OT [drive:] [filename.ext] [/n] [/p] [/s]
-
- If no drive is specified, the default drive will be
- listed.
-
- The tree, beginning at the current directory, will be
- listed. If you are in the root directory, you will get
- a listing of the entire disk.
-
- The filename.ext can be supplied with wildcards (* and $)
- to get a listing of certain types of files.
-
- /n - filenames will not be listed, only the directory
- structure of the disk.
-
- /p - will cause a listing to be sent to the printer with
- page numbers.
-
- /s - will result in some extra disk statistics being in-
- cluded in the listing following the header line.
-
- Examples of useage;
-
- C>OT The tree, starting at the current directory will
- be displayed on the monitor.
-
- C>OT *.PAS All files with extension PAS will be listed in
- the current tree along with an indication of where
- they are.
-
- C>OT WHERE.WHO If this filename exists on the disk, it will
- be listed along with what directory it is in.
- This is useful for finding a lost file.
-
- C>OT /p /s The current tree will be listed on the monitor,
- and also printed out. The disk statistics will be
- included in both locations.
-
- C>OT /n Lists only the directories in the current tree.
-
- C>OT A: /p The information concerning disk drive A will be
- listed and printed.
-
- C>OT /p /s If started from the root directory, this will result
- in the maximum amount of information. The listing is
- very useful in case of a disk crash because it will
- aid you in restoring the disk to its precrash state.
