- WHEREIS 1.0
-
- WHEREIS is a utility that searches a disk for files that match
- a user-supplied file specification. The utility performs a
- recursive search through any subdirectories it finds during
- its search.
-
- To search an entire disk for a particular file specification,
- you would execute WHEREIS like this:
-
- whereis *.asm
-
- This would search through the entire drive (the current drive)
- and display each instance of a file matching the file
- specification *.asm.
-
- You can also provide an explicit drive specifier:
-
- whereis a:\*.asm
-
- This will search drive A: for all matching files.
-
- If you don't want to search an entire disk, you can explicitly
- define the path from which to start the recursive search. For
- example,
-
- whereis c:\borland\tasm\*.asm
-
- will search for all files matching *.asm in the directory
- c:\borland\tasm and any subdirectories below it.
-
- You can halt execution of WHEREIS by pressing any key while
- it's running.
-

-
- How to assemble WHEREIS
-
- In order to assemble WHEREIS, execute the following command on the
- DOS command line:
-
- make -fwhereis
-
- This will execute the command-line make utility MAKE.EXE and pass
- it the make file WHEREIS.MAK. For instructions on assembling
- specific modules in the WHEREIS program, see the comments at the
- top of each module.
