-
- Purpose: Find executable files or directories and change directory
- to target area.
-
- QUICK INTRODUCTION:
-
- CCD uses a data-file generated by F A S T - NBY to access
- directories immediately. Therefore, in order to use CCD,
- you must also be using F A S T - NBY.
-
- REQUIREMENTS: a) A minimum of one hard disk.
- b) A minimum of 512K of RAM.
- c) FASTNBY.EXE
-
- SPECIAL FEATURES:
-
- CCD is a very fast combination of file-find and change
- directory program.
-
- Unlike other directory change programs, CCD will change to
- a directory even if you don't know the name of the directory,
- as long as you know the name of the executable file you are
- looking for. CCD works across any drive, but, you must have
- run F A S T - NBY against the drives you want CCD to recognise.
-
- LIMITATION: CCD will only find directories which are on the hard disks
- which are being scanned by F A S T - NBY since CCD uses
- F A S T - NBYs data.
-
- OPERATION: You must have run F A S T - NBY at least once to be able to
- use CCD. After that, use it instead of the DOS CD (Change
- Directory) command and take advantage of the additional
- features.
-
- examples
-
- CCD \CALMER will change into the \calmer directory.
- (same as DOS CD or CHDIR command)
-
- CCD .. move one level up
- (same as DOS CD or CHDIR command)
-
- CCD DOC: find the first subdirectory which contains
- the word DOC in it.
-
- The ":" informs CCD that you want to mach
- directory names only.
-
- CCD DOC If a sub-directory called DOC exists in the
- currently logged drive, CCD will enter that
- subdirectory.
- (same as DOS CD or CHDIR command)
- If no sub-directory exists, CCD will find the
- first subdirectory which contains
- either the word "DOC" in the subdirectory or
- contains an executable file starting with
- DOC. This could be DOCedit.exe or
- DOCument.exe or C:\CALMER\DOCS or C:\DOCS.
-
- CCD TEST find the first subdirectory which contains
- TEST
-
- CCD TEST. Note the full stop.
- This finds the first subdirectory containing
- either TEST.EXE, TEST.COM or TEST.BAT etc.
-
- CCD /P jump back to Previous directory.
-
- By repeating the same command, CCD will step through every
- directory matching the specifications until it has found the
- last one. After that, it will start from top again,
- strictly alphabetically.
-
-
-
- SPEEDING IT UP: As CCD maintains vital information internally and this
- information is safed after every run, you may find that
- CCD is slower than expected on old machines with slow
- disk drives. If you copy CCD.EXE onto a RAM Drive, you
- will increase the speed dramatically. However, before you
- do that, you must run CCD at least once from the directory
- which contains F A S T - NBY. After the initial run, you
- can copy CCD to anywhere you like.
