- Copy files of a big directory or of a sub-directory on a minimum
- number of floppies. Files copied are still executable on the floppy.
- Restore with "A>copy *.* c:\directory". Tells you how many floppies are
- needed and allows you to dir, cd, md, rd, del or format the target floppy
- within the program. Any floppy configuration compatible with DOS 3.0 is
- supported. Restriction: biggest file to copy must fit on one floppy
- (360k or 1.2 meg).
-
- DDup v1.0

- Allows you to delete or rename duplicated files. Modes: twin files
- (same name and specs), duplicated specs (same size and date-time) or

- per 100k of available RAM.
-
- Sin v2.1
- --------
- Search for a given string in specified files down from any directory.
- Skip binary files (by extension at your choice). Displays filename, line
- number and the text of line containing the string. Fast screen output. This

- the way. Sin can send its output to the printer or a text file.
-
-
- Generalities
- ------------
- Sub, SubA, Fill, DDup and Sin commands can be included in batch
- files. Sub and SubA can read permanent parameters in your environment
- (see the DOS command "SET"). All but Sin support redirected i/o via DOS
- commands (refer to documentation). With this feature, output can be sent
- to the printer or to a text file. Also, they can be used through a modem
- with any DOS shell program. All five programs require PC-DOS or MS-DOS 3.0
- or later.

- Sub v3.2 and SubA v1.0 will be available in a near future. Actually,
- only Sub v3.1 is available.
