- IT OVER HERE !
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- A very fast moving
- utility designed
- for those who don't
- know where their
- file currently is !
-
-
-
-
-
-
- =======================================
- Move It Over Here v. 1.2 Copyright 1991
- =======================================
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Just when you couldn't locate the file you were looking for... Having
- to break out the File-Finding Util, locating the current place of your
- file, pulling out the Moving Util, then typing in the entire pathname,
- moving the file to your current directory.
-
- No more !
-
- Move It Over Here is specially designed for you. Simply place it in
- your path, and when you are in desperate need of your file, Move It Over
- Here.
-
-
-
-
-
- Usage: MER [filename] [option]
-
-
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- /P Prompt before moving
- /S Scan deeper directories
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- =========================================================================
- ======== THE OPTIMAL SPEED ==============================================
- =========================================================================
-
-
- To understand what "Scan Deeper Directories" means, you must first
- understand how the program logic operates.
-
- For the optimum speed, the only directories that are searched are
- ones that are subdirectories of the root directory.
-
- Eg: \TURBO will be searched, but
-
- \TURBO\BIN will NOT be searched.
-
-
-
- The program "skims" directories. A visual representation would be:
-
-
- C:\ --- ------ ------ ------- ------- ------- ------- ----->
- \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/
- subdir subdir subdir subdir subdir subdir subdir
-
-
-
- Whereas the utility finds all directories that are immediately under
- the root.
-
- In order to find a "deeper" subdirectory:
-
- C:\--- ----->
- \/
- subdir C:\TURBO
- \/
- subdir C:\TURBO\BIN
- \/
- subdir C:\TURBO\BIN\SYSTEM
-
-
- You would use the "/S" switch. This allows MoveItOverHere to search all
- subdirectories, no matter how deep.
-
-
-
- ALSO:
-
-
- Unless wildcards are specified (*.DOC), the file is directly searched,
- and the program aborts. For example: if you have two files called
- MYFILE.COM in a directory, the program will find the first instance of
- that name, and move it.
-
- To be more specific about which MYFILE.COM you want to move, please
- use the "/P" switch. Once used, this allows you to see file specs of
- MYFILE.COM (the size/date/time/location), and prompts whether you want
- to move it or not.
-
-
- ===========================================================================
-
-
-
- OTHER NOTES:
-
- 1) Please be VERY VERY careful when using wildcards. This program moves
- files extremely quickly (When I benchtested it, the util moved 52 files
- within 2 seconds).
-
- 2) When using wilcards, please include the "." in the filename.
-
- Eg: *.DOC ─┐
- FILE.* ├──────── These names are acceptable
- LIST.* │
- *.MOM ─┘
-
-
- MOMMY* ─┐
- *LIST* ├──────── These names are NOT acceptable
- *A** │
- *THIS ─┘
-
- 3) If the file already exists in the current directory, you are prompted
- to rename the file. If you do not rename the file, the old file
- that was in your current directory is written over.
-
