- This WHEREIS.ASM is derived from the WHEREIS program published in
- Softalk/PC by John Socha, with a few "improvements" added by RD:
-
-
- If extension is not given it defaults to wildcard,
-
- e.g. WHEREIS XYZ is the same as WHEREIS XYZ.*
-
-
- When a matching filename is found, will ask if you want more
- to be searched for (unless you specified /g or /G in original
- command line). You can press "y" or "Y" to search for more
- files, or any other key to terminate the WHEREIS program.
- This prevents thrashing around on the disk looking for more
- matches, when the user already knows there aren't any.
-
-
- You can supply a "G" switch to force all matches to be printed
- without the "more" query.
-
- e.g. WHEREIS XYZ /G or whereis xyz /g
-
-
- If no filename is supplied in the input line, will give an error
- message. Also, if no match is found, will print a message to
- that effect instead of quietly terminating without any output.
- Also checks to make sure it is running under DOS 2.0.
-
-
- When you put this WHEREIS.EXE on your system, make sure you erase
- all previous copies of WHEREIS.COM or WHEREIS.EXE. It is best to
- put WHEREIS in one of the directories pointed to by a PATH command
- so that the utility is always available no matter where you are
- working. For instance, if you have WHEREIS.EXE in the subdirectory
- SYSTEM on drive D, put the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- PATH=D:\SYSTEM
