- STORM(tm) -- STORage Maintenance system
- Package to scan and manipulate directory trees and files.
- This package performs several functions:
-
- 1. Files may be deleted globally, starting from any specified node
- on the directory tree of any drive. User must confirm each
- delete before it takes place - no surprises! Further, you may
- view the file (assuming it is viewable) before making up your
- mind.
-
- 2. Similar to function 1, but files are only displayed with no
- opportunity to delete. Similar to, but 20-30% faster than Peter
- Norton's FileFind program.
-
- 3. A display of the directory structure of any drive can be
- obtained. Similar to, but 60-70% faster than the DOS TREE
- command.
-
- 4. A storage summary for any device can be provided, listing each
- directory on the device, along with the total number of bytes
- stored in that directory and the percentage of total usage
- represented by that directory. Hidden and system files are
- included in the calculation of the summary.
-
- 5. A listing of the complete directory of the device, sorted
- optionally by name.ext or path, can be produced. Name, exten
- sion, size, date, time, and file attributes are listed. Hidden
- and system files are included.
-
- 6. A listing of possible duplicate files can be produced. Possible
- duplicates are defined as those files having the same name (only
- -no extension) and size. Hidden and system files are included.
-
- The file attributes are listed as:
-
- S = System file
- H = Hidden file
- D = Directory
- R = Read-Only file
- A = File has been archived (e.g., with BACKUP)
-
-
- In order to operate properly, a console driver must be installed
- on your system. Usually ANSI.SYS is the driver installed, however
- any equivalent such as FANSI-CONSOLE(tm) may be used. If you are
-
-
-
- -1-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- not sure whether such a driver is installed on your system, refer
- to your DOS reference manual or type out the file called
- CONFIG.SYS which will be located in the root directory of your
- boot disk. You will see a line like "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS" if the
- driver is installed.
-
- Assuming that the driver is installed, STORM may be invoked by
- typing the DOS command line
-
- STORM [<function code>]
-
- {Note: The brackets, "[" and "]" are NOT to be typed as part of
- the command. They simply indicate that <function code> is
- optional.}
-
- If the optional <function code> is omitted or is invalid, you
- will be presented with an opening menu, prompting you for a pri-
- mary function code. This opening menu can be bypassed by supply-
- ing a code from the following list.
-
- The seven valid function codes are as follows:
-
- D = List potential (D)uplicate files on the printer. Potential
- duplicate files are those which have the same <name> and
- size. Note: The file name only is considered - NOT
- <name>.<ext>. Presentation will be in order of decreasing
- size.
-
- E = Perform a confirmed (E)rasure of files matching a mask which
- you will provide later. Optionally, you may view a file
- (assuming that it is viewable) prior to making the
- delete/save decision.
-
- F = List the (F)ull contents of a drive on the printer. Sort
- order will be <name>.<ext> <directory>; optionally, you may
- select <directory> <name>.<ext> as the sort order.
-
- L = (L)ocate all files matching a mask which you will provide
- later.
-
- S = Display a (S)ummary of disk useage on the console. Useage
- will be listed by subdirectory, and will be presented both in
- bytes and as a percent of total usage.
-
- T = Display the directory (T)ree structure on the console.
-
- X = e(X)it to DOS.
-
- Once you have entered a valid function code, you will be pre-
- sented with a second menu, which will prompt you for Device, Path,
- and File Spec., as appropriate to the function you selected on the
- opening menu. Certain default values will be displayed. To select
- a default, simply press <cr>. To override the default, enter the
- desired item and press <cr>.
-
-
-
-
- -2-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The defaults are:
-
- FUNCTION DEVICE PATH FILE SPEC.

- ACKNOWLEGEMENT

-
- Much heartfelt gratitude to our BETA-test panel: John Griffin,
- Wallace Kendall, Steve Meginniss, John van Horn, John Weske, and
- George Walker, all of the Central Maryland Microcomputer Users'
- Group (CMMUG). Their suggestions gave STORM many of the useful
- qualities which it has. Don't blame them, however, for any defici-
- encies you find. WGM&AL takes full credit for those!!!
