See (Program Name).FRM for disk prices. RDIR.FRM for example. All programs are compatible with Windows, DR-DOS and Novell networks, and require DOS 3.0 or higher. ===================== UTILITIES ===================== RDIR: DISK USE PIE CHART DOS's "DIR" does not show the size of subdirectories. RDIR shows the Relative Size of Subdirectories in an ordered list, a Pie chart and a Bar chart. Pinpoints where disk space is being used. CGA, EGA, or VGA. Navigate around your disk by selecting & examining directories from the list on the graphics screen using arrow keys. Or enter drive/directory name from the command line. RFILE can be run from RDIR (F2) to examine the relative size of files in the selected directory. Reviewed in PCM Magazine June 1991 and in the May 1992 issue of COMPUTE. Latest revision adds (F7) printing the directory list. Ver 1.56 RFILE: RELATIVE FILE SIZE Shows Relative FILE size of all files in the selected directory in a pie chart. Enter a directory name or extension such as *.TXT on the command line. Or edit the directory name as displayed on the graphics screen. An aid to finding where the disk space is being used up. Use PageUp & Down, Home & End while viewing list of files. Latest version calls STF (F2) to view the highlighted file. Requires CGA, EGA or VGA.

Reviewed in Jan 1993 Compute Magazine. Optional upper limit on date lets you list files within a range of dates. Configurable for "Day first" date entry, or default "Month first". New command line switches: /P & /S for Pause and Search Subdirectories. This allows SINCE to be called from a batch without user intervention. Shows total bytes of listed files. Dates can use dots or slashes or dashes as separators. Menu allows results to be sent to printer or a file. Version 1.40. STF: SHOW TWO FILES STF Shows and compares Two ASCII text Files side-by-side. Select filenames from a directory list. Use standard edit Keys to move around each file independently or together. Differences are "Highlighted" by dimming the text of unequal lines in one file. Optionally ignores spaces in comparison. Single files may be viewed full width. Text search. Sliding Centerline to vary the viewing width of each file. Optional VGA graphics mode. Move, Rename or Delete files from directory page. STF is included in "DOS 6.0 Power Tools" by Bantam Books. Remembers 2 directory names, shown at the top, for easier comparison between 2 directories or drives. Background of unequal lines is now extended so off screen text inequalities can be seen.

SETCOL: SET COLORS SETCOL is used to set the text and graphics background colors for the following programs: RDIR RFILE SETCOL STF. SETCUR: SET CURSOR Turns cursor on or off. Some programs leave the cursor off. Use SETCUR to restore it. WDN: WIPE DIRECTORY NAMES Removes the tree of empty directory names that you are left with after copying a floppy using a temporary directory on your hard drive. ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS: These programs were written by me to meet a need which was not met by either DOS commands nor by commercially available software. If Norton Utilities or XTREE could do the job, I would use their version before spending the time writing code. These programs are intended to improve productivity and save time. The first utility I wrote was RDIR. The DOS "DIR" command shows the size of Files, but only the name of the Sub-Directories. I wanted to know how big they were to help me decide what was taking up so much disk space. ABOUT SHAREWARE: Shareware is a term to describe software that is distributed on a "Try Before You Buy" basis. It is not "Freeware" nor is it "Public Domain". The price listed on the order form covers only the cost of the time and materials involved in copying the programs. If you find the programs useful, you are expected to register them. If you don't, you are violating the Copyright laws. Registration provides the author with an incentive to write more useful programs to increase your productivity. Support is provided to registered users either online using The Internet or via U.S. Mail. You are encouraged to make copies and give them to your friends, or upload the programs to bulletin boards. They must not have been modified, and all documentation must be included. The files which must be included are listed in each program's help screen, which you can access by typing the program name (RDIR for example) followed by a question mark (?). For additional information about registration, see "REGINFO.TXT" at the DOS prompt. UPGRADE POLICY: Any program for which you have registered an earlier version will be supplied on the disk as a registered program. If you were registered for the now discontinued programs ATTR or SFT, your registration has been automatically transferred to SINCE and STF respectively, as they incorporate the functions of the older programs. To obtain the most recent version of a single program, use the Order Form: (Program Name).FRM If you have any questions or suggestions for other programs, please contact me by Internet Email as robert.mccormick.circellar.com or bob_m@ix.netcom.com.
