- MV 2.00 -- File move utility.
-
- Written by Mark Kubo.
-
- Copyright (C)1989, Mark Kubo, All Rights Reserved.
-
- This is a quick utility which will allow you to move files from
- one drive/directory to another. It copies the files specified to
- the destination drive/directory and erases the source files. By
- using this utility, you can eliminate the repetitious copy - del
- sequence by combining both commands into one.
-
- Usage is: MV source-file destination-path [options]
-
- Source-file can be any legal DOS file descriptor including full
- path descriptors and wildcards.
-
- Destination-path can be any legal DOS path descriptor. If you
- specify just the drive letter, the program will assume the root
- directory of that drive.
-
- The following options are available. They must be placed after
- the source and destination designations. They must have the "/"
- before the letter, and each option must be delimited by a space.
-
- */O The default for registered programs is overwrite pro-
- tection. This switch will defeat the protection and
- overwrite files in the target directory with the same
- name as the source without asking you.
-
- /C This activates copy only. This will cause the program
- to perform like the DOS COPY command. This is most
- useful with the /S and /T options where it will act
- like the XCOPY command and copy subdirectories also.
-
- /E By specifying this option, all source files which are
- successfully moved will be erased, regardless of their
- file attributes. By default, read-only, system, and
- hidden files are not removed. This option allows you
- to override the default.
-
- */H This option will enable hidden and system files in
- addition to normal files to be moved; however, unlesss
- /E is specified, the hidden and system source files
- will not be erased.
-
- /M By specifying this option, if the target directory does
- not exist, it will be created by the program.
-
- */R This option causes the program to remove all empty
- source directories once the files have been moved out.
-
- */S Copy subdirectories and create same subdirectory tree
- structure under target directory.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- */T Copy subdirectories but copy all files into same target
- directory. In other words, unlike /S, this will not
- create a subdirectory tree structure.
-
- /W By default, read-only files will be moved but not
- erased from the source directory unless the /E option
- is specified. This option will disable the read-only
- file move and only move the read-write files.
-
- Options /S and /T may not be specified concurrently.
- Options /H and /W may not be specified concurrently.
- Options /C and /E may not be specified concurrently.
-
- Options preceded by an asterisk ('*') are available only to
- registered users.
-
- Examples:
-
- MV *.* D:\UTILITY
- moves all files in current directory to D:\UTILITY
-
- MV A:\GAMES\*.EXE C:\GAMES\EGAGAMES
- moves all .EXE files in GAMES subdirectory of drive A
- to C:\GAMES\EGAGAMES
-
- MV *.COM ..
- moves all .COM files in current directory to parent
- directory
-
- MV ..\..\TEST.* .\
- moves all TEST files in directory two levels up to
- current directory
-
- MV WORK WORK1 /C /M
- copies files in directory WORK to directory WORK1,
- creating WORK1 if it does not already exist
-
- MV BACKUP STORAGE /S
- moves files in backup and files in subdirectories under
- BACKUP to directory STORAGE, replicating directory
- structure under BACKUP in STORAGE
-
-
- Distribution:
-
- This software is distributed under the SHAREWARE concept. You
- may freely copy and give away copies as long as the files MV.EXE,
- NEW.TXT, and READ.ME are distributed together unmodified in any
- way. This means that registered copies of this program may not
- be distributed. You are required to register if you find this
- utility useful after an evaluation period of 30 days. If you use
- it regularly in moving files from one location to another, then
- you are finding it useful. Basic registration is $10. This
-
-
-
-
-
-
- includes information on how to get rid of the opening advertise-
- ment, activation of additional command line parameters, default
- overwrite protection, and future notice of updates. For an
- additional $5, you will receive the latest version of this pro-
- gram and the next upgrade free of charge.
-
- To register, please include the version number (Version X.XX /
- RXXXXXX), name, address, phone number, and a check or M.O. for
- $10 or $15. Mail your registration to:

- Version notes:
-
- 2.00 -- Added command line options /C /E /H /R /S /T /W. Made
- option /M available to non-registered users. Specifiying of
- directory alone included. A different program registration
- scheme, so registration numbers given before version 1.11
- R890611C will not work with this one. New registration numbers
- will be sent to all registered owners of version 1.00 through
- version 1.11 R890611B.
-
- 1.11 -- Corrected bug causing overwrite and make directory
- switches to not reset to the default when executing after command
- line switches were specified.
-
- 1.10 -- Added two command line options for use with registered
- users. Overwrite protection and make directory. Corrected minor
- bug which may have caused problems when a destination directory
- which didn't exist was specified, but if *.* was tacked on to the
- end, that certain one existed. Fixed bug where files couldn't be
- moved to the root directories.
-
- 1.00 -- Original release.
