- │ GENERAL │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- This program executes a command in multiple directories. To
- use it, enter:
-
-
- GLOBALLY [/C] command [arguments]
-
-
- where "command" is the command you want to execute, with any
- arguments it has. By default, the command is executed in every
- directory on the default drive. To execute it only in the
- current and subordinate directories, use /C.
-
- To make the program as efficient as possible, put the command
- interpreter (usually CMD.EXE) on a RAM disk, and make the
- environment variable COMSPEC point to it there. For example:
-
- COPY CMD.EXE D:\
- SET COMSPEC=D:\CMD.EXE
-

- │ EXAMPLES │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
-
- GLOBALLY DEL *.BAK
-
-
- deletes all files with an extension of "BAK." This example shows
- how you can use GLOBALLY for OS/2 to get rid of extraneous files
- on your disk.
-
-
- GLOBALLY DIR > FILES.TXT
-
-
- stores a listing of all files on the default drive in a file
- called \FILES.TXT. This example shows how you can use GLOBALLY
- for OS/2 as a file finder.
-
-
- GLOBALLY /C DIR *.C > PRN
-
-
- prints a listing of all files with an extension of "C" in the
- current and subordinate directories.
-
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- GLOBALLY for OS/2 requires the OS/2 operating system, version
- 1.0 or later.
-
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ MESSAGES │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Argument list or environment too big. The argument list exceeds
- 128 bytes, or the space required for environment information
- exceeds 32 KB.
-
- Bad command interpreter. The command interpreter (usually
- CMD.EXE) has an invalid format and can't be executed. The file
- has probably been damaged.
-
- Couldn't find command interpreter. GLOBALLY for OS/2 uses the
- COMSPEC and PATH variables in the environment to find the command
- interpreter (usually CMD.EXE). If they are set incorrectly,
- this process fails.
-
- Insufficient memory. There isn't enough memory to execute the
- command.
-
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ EXIT CODES │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- GLOBALLY for OS/2 reports the following exit codes. You can
- use these with the ERRORLEVEL function in batch files (see your
- DOS manual for details).
-
- 0 Normal termination
- 2 Error occurred
