- ::::::::: WILDPATH ::::::::::
-
- Ever had a program that converts/modifies files that won't
- accept a wildcard (*) or a path for it's files?
-
- This program will allow you to do so. It's most handy for when, say,
- you have 10 .XXX files that you want to convert to .YYY . Instead of
- saying "CONVERTER file.XXX" 10 times, or the files are in a different
- directory than the program, just use 'WILDPATH'.
-
- to use WILDPATH:
-
- 1. Type "WILDPATH" at the dos command line.
- 2. It will prompt you for the PROGRAM you want to execute. Be sure
- to include its extension.
- 3. You will then be prompted for the PROGRAM's path. Use the enter
- key to use the default directory (printed in []), or enter
- your path, i.e. D:\TEMP.
- 4. You will then be prompted for the FILE's name. You may use wildcards
- as you use them at the dos command line.
- 5. You will then be prompted for the FILE's path. The default directory
- may be used (printed in []) by pressing the enter key, or enter
- your own path, i.e. B:\ .
-
- WILDPATH will then execute the program, with all files matching the
- entered name, until it can find no more matching files.
-
- WILDPATH has been tested on IBM 286 and 386 clones with no problems, other
- clones should work as well.
-
-
- IF you use this program, and find it useful, I would please ask that you send
- the author a small monetary fee, suggested to be $10.00 (u.s.), or send
- whatever you feel is appropriate for the program. If you have any
- suggestions or comments, please write.
