1) What is go ?

go allow you to quickly "go" to a different directory by giving the directory's first letters

2) How does it work ?

Go first creates a file that contains all the directories of the specified drives. This action
has to be executed at first use or after several changes to your drives (directories created
or deleted).

To create this file, at the dos prompt type "go !" for Disk C or "go ! drives" where drives represents several drives in which you want go to seek.
For example : 	"go ! abf" scans drives a,b & f for directories
		"go ! " has the same effect than "go ! c"

When this operation is done, you can access any directory in the specified drives by specifying its first letters. If several directories match these letters, go will show you up to 10 of them and ask which one you want to go to. If only one match, go moves directly to it.

For example :   "go test" shows you all directories from which the name begins with test

You can also use the * character. In this case, go moves to the 1st directory of the current path that starts with the specified letters.

For example :   "go test*" will move to 1st directory which name starts with test in the current directory

If the first letters represent a directory in the current path, this directory is accessed automatically so you can use go as cd (for example go c:\temp or go ..). You can disable this option by giving the -? option.

You can specify a level not to go below with the -n option were n is a positive integer
For example : go ! -3 scans drive C for directories up to c:\abc\def\ghi but c:\abc\def\ghi\jkl will not be put in the file

3) what for ?

Go is designed for people who often uses Dos or a dos prompt. If you like this program, or want to get the C sources then just EMail me. If you don't then you shouldn't have read this page till here !
