- DCU - Disk CleanUp is a utility program to delete unwanted files
- from your disk, and optionally call your favorite backup and
- defragmenter programs.
-
- USAGE DCU [options]
-
- If no options are specified, the default settings are used.
- The default drive is the current drive. The backup and
- defragmenter program command lines may be changed only by
- use of the set defaults option.
-
- Options are :
- Dx set target drive to drive x.
- B+ to run backup, B- to skip backup.
- F+ to run defragmenter, F- to skip defragmenter.
- K+ to delete *.BAK files, K- to leave them.
- Q+ to delete *.BAQ files, Q- to leave them.
- Z+ to delete zero length files, Z- to leave them.
- $+ to delete *.$$$ files, $- to leave them.
- T+ to delete *.TMP files, T- to leave them.
- S allow setting of new default values.
-
- The backup and defragmenter command strings are entered into
- the program as you would type them in at the DOS prompt. When
- you need to pass the name of the drive to backup or defragment
- you may enter DRIVE, and the program will substitute the correct
- drive letter for you.
-
- EXAMPLE: c:\dos\backup DISK\ a: /s
-
- The above example would be equivalent to entering :
- c:\dos\backup C:\ a: /s
- if you were running DCU for the C drive, or entering :
- c:\dos\backup D:\ a: /s
- if you were running DCU for the D drive.
-
- If you choose to run a disk defragmenting program, it is done
- after the backup, in order to protect your data. If you desire
- not to backup the drive first, you are asked if you are sure
- you do want to do this.
-
- Default settings are stored in the file DEFAULTS.DCU, which will
- be created if it does not exist.
