- Here are some utilitys, made by a UNIX addict, to imitate closely
- the corresponding UNIX commands.
- All of you know these commands, so I don't think manual pages
- are required.
-
- Some brief explanation:
-
- df:
- Usage: df [drive:]
- When called without arguments, it will display the space
- used / free in Kbytes and in clusters, of all available drives
- from C: on upwards.
- With an drive identifier as argument, it will display the same
- info for the given drive, followed by the default info.
-
- du:
- Usage: du -s [directory]
- Du will give you the disk usage in Kbytes from the current or
- given directory downwards. The -s option only gives a summary.
-
- ls:
- Usage: ls -Flrst [file [file ...]] (or directory)
- Options: -F : Add '/' for subdirectorys, and * for executable files.
- -l : Long listing, status and date/time info is displayed.
- -r : Reverse the sort order.
- -s : Also display the size in Kbytes before the filename.
- -t : Sort by modify time instead of alphabetically
-
- rm:
- Usage: rm [-rf] file/directory [file...]
- Allows multiple file arguments (not like 'del')
- Options: -r : Recursive delete of all files and subdirs.
- -f : Delete read-only files also.
- Warning: rm -rf \ is FATAL!!
-
- mv:
- Usage: mv file file
- mv file [file ..] directory
- Allows full path names in both source and destination (on same drive).
- This command actually moves links, not files.
- Existing destination files will be overwritten!
-

-
- Compiling:
- The sources supplied are for Microsoft C 4.0, I haven't tried other
- compilers, so maybe some others will work too.
- Also you need MASM to assemble the clsize.asm file.
- The file 'all' is the makefile for Microsoft make. Just type 'make all'.
-
- Status of the software:
- These programs are freeware, please distribute freely, and without
- additional costs, exept for disks or postage.
- But please distribute the complete package only, including this notice.
-
- Disclaimer:
- I have used the software for quite a time now, and now harmful bugs
- have appeared. But I don't take any responsibility for any harm
- caused by the use (or misuse) of these programs.
