- The author makes no warranty for any functions of DCOPY.
- Be carefull deleting Directories, because DCOPY deletes whole directory-trees,
- with all subdirectories.
- DCOPY V0.9 is Shareware. If you find this software usefull, please send
- 25.- DM (or $25 US) to the author ( so you will get a next version ).
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- Sorry, there is just a small english Dokumentation, a bigger own will follow.
- So here are just a few hints for using DCOPY.
-
- Install DCOPY on your Desktop with the program-template. All Files
- must be in the same Directory. ( DCOPY.EXE DCOPY.TIC DCOPY.CNF DCOPY.DOC )
- If there are Problems with the dialogboxes, try using parameter "D".
- So they will be aligned to the desktop, not to the program-window.
-
- The file-box on the left side of the window shows the Source-Directory,
- the right box shows the Destination-Directory.
- Buttons on the left side only affect Files selected in the left file-box.
- Buttons in the middle of the window need a source-file and a destination Directory
- to be selected.
- Buttons on the right side only affect Files selected in the right file-box.
-
- First you must specify a Drive, so klick on the drive you want to use as the
- Source and Destination-Drive.
-
- After this the File-box will show the root-directory of the specified drive.
- Directories will be bounded by "[]". You can change a directory with a double-
- click on the Directory-name.
-
- If you select a File or Directory the actual selected size of all files will be shown.
-
- You can use a filemask, in order to choose interesting files for your operation.
- The filemask can be entered by pressing the MASK-Button.
-
- To use more than on filemask seperate them with a colomn (";")
- e.g. "*.c;*.h;*.mak;*.dep" to use four filemasks.
-
- If you are using a filemask, only matching files will be copied, deleted
- or shown in the specified directory.
-
- e.g. enter filemask "*.doc". Then select a directory (or a tree) and press
- the delete button. In the following Dialog "Confirm with selection" you should
- see your mask "*.doc". So if you press the DELETE-button only files matching
- your filemask will be deleted.
- This selection also affects the TREE-, COPY-, DELETE-, AIO-, MOVE-buttons.
-
- The Aio-Button means: Copy Files "All in one" Directory. So all matching files
- in the specified directory-tree will be copied to one destination-directory.
-
- If you have selected a file, you can use the right mouse button to open an
- PopUp menu. This menu will be configured with the DCOPY.CNF-File. You can
- start external tools, while using the selected files as parameters.
- There is a sample configuration included in the "ZIP-file".
-
- ⌡Popup-Menu
- Edit... , EPM.EXE, %a
- Run... , %p
- PKUnzip... , PKUNZIP2.EXE, %f, %w, %r
- PKZip... , PKZIP2.EXE, %q, %a, %w, %r
- PKValidate... , PKUNZIP2.EXE, -t, %-, %f
- GNUnzip.. , UNZIP.EXE, %f, %w, %r
- Touch... , TOUCH.EXE, %a
- Icon-Edit... , ICONEDIT.EXE, %f
- Dialog-Edit... , DLGEDIT.EXE, %f
- View... , VIEW.EXE, %f
- #
- (example popup-menu-configuration)
-
- "⌡Popup-Menu": here starts the menu chapter ( other chapters will follow )
- "Edit...": Text of menuitem.
- "EPM.EXE": Tool to start.
- "%a": All selected files will be parameters for tool.
- "%p": Selected File will be executed
- "%f": Only first file will be parameter for tool.
- "%w": Wait until tool has finished.
- "%r": Refresh file-box selected ( only usefull if wait (%w) is used ).
- "%o": Refresh file-box not selected ( only usefull if wait (%w) is used ).
- "%q": Query paramameter with dialog-box.
- "%s": Source-Directory
- "%d": Destination-Directory
- "%n": Do not termiante tool automatic.
- "-t", "%-": All tokens without "%" are directly passed to the command line.
- Because some options are used without a space, this is
- the default usage.
- e.g. PKUNZIP2.EXE, -t, %f will be interpreted as
- "PKUNZIP2 -t<filename>".
- So you must use the "%-" token to insert a space in the
- commandline
- e.g. PKUNZIP2.EXE, -t, %-, %f will be interpreted as
- "PKUNZIP2 -t <filename>".
-
- If you do not specify the directoy in the name of a tool, be shure to use it
- in the path enviroment variable. You must use a comma to separate the options !
-
- You can specify predefined filemasks in the "File-Mask" chapter of the cnf-file.
-
- ⌡File-Mask
- *.bak
- *.c;*.h;*.mak;*.dep;*.rc;*.res;*.dlg;
- *.exe;*.com;*.cmd
- #
- (example of dcopy.cnf)
-
- New filemasks will not be saved into your cnf-file. They are only valid for your
- current session.
-
- With the "S"-buttons you can "snapshot" your current directory path. So you can
- select your directory later once again with the list dialog box.
- In order to use predefined directories there are two chapters added to the cnf-file
- "Source-Dir" and "Dest-Dir".
-
- ⌡Source-Dir
- C:\TMP
- D:\OS2\SYSTEM
- #
- ⌡Dest-Dir
- A:\TEST
- D:\OS2\SYSTEM
- #
- (example of dcopy.cnf)
-
- New directories will not be saved into your cnf-file. They are only validfor your
- current session.
-
- If you kill an action with the "STOP"-button the second thread is killed.
- So there might be in incorrect display of your current directory. In order to get
- the actual contents use the "Refresh"-buttons.
-
- I hope you will be able to use DCOPY with this few explanations. This is a very
- fast and I think usefull tool for OS/2 2.x.
-
- With the sample configuration you can use DCOPY to "unzip" your downloads and read
- documentation, or execute the new programm without leaving DCOPY.
-
- If you have problems with DCOPY try to contact me. Because I don't have a EMail-
- address you can use the address of a friend, ( see top of doc ) or write a letter.
