- DESCRIPTION
- -----------
-
- Have you ever done a CHKDSK and got something similar to the following?
-
- Volume HARD_DISK created 07-18-1990 9:46a
- Volume Serial Number is 3A2B-10F4
-
- 212058112 bytes total disk space
- 77824 bytes in 4 hidden files
- 192512 bytes in 42 directories
- 44347392 bytes in 1934 user files
- 167440384 bytes available on disk
-
- What?! FOUR hidden files? Hmm, I know there are two system files and one
- disk label but what could the fourth one be? Some software packages create/use
- these files without your knowledge. Worse yet, you may have hidden some of
- those files yourself but have forgotten where they are and what they are
- called. FINDHID will find and list all such files for you. It is up to you to
- decide what to do with them. As an added bonus, FINDHID will also find read-
- only files plus any directories which have these attributes.
-
-
-
- USAGE
- -----
-
- FINDHID <d:>
-
- where d: is an optional drive specifier (defaults to current drive). You
- can redirect output to your printer if necessary using normal DOS
- redirection (e.g. >PRN).
-
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- -------------------
-
- FINDHID should (I repeat, should) run on most MS-DOS or OS/2 systems.
-
-
-
- FILES
- -----

- OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
-
- Unlike most other QED Software products, FINDHID is ***FREE***. That
- means you don't have to register it to get a full-blown version or anything
- like that. However, any contribution that you may want to send me would be
- graciously accepted. I would also like to hear any comments or suggestions you
- may have or if you discover any problems with the program. At the present
- time, I am not operating my own bulletin board. However, you can reach me by
- sending mail to Gary Steger in the IBM Conferences on Canada Remote Systems in
- Mississauga (416-629-7000), EX-10 Canada in Kitchener (519-725-4400) or any
- other BBS that is part of NANet. Of course, you can also write to me at the
- address at the beginning of this file. If you require an answer mailed to you,
- please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
-
- You are free to pass this program along to friends, user groups, upload to
- BBS's, etc. All of the above files MUST be included when distributing this
- program. If you archive the program for distribution through BBS's, please use
- the name FINDHID.ZIP (or .LZH, .PAK, etc. as appropriate). Software
- distribution companies may include FINDHID in their catalogue provided that a
- copy of the catalogue is sent to the author.
