Disk No: 2312 Disk Title: PCOPY & PDELETE PC-SIG Version: S1 Program Title: PCOPY Author Version: 8.5C Author Registration: $20.00 Special Requirements: None. The DOS COPY command is one of DOSs most used commands. Unfortunately, its abilities are very limited and are not sufficient for many disk maintenance chores performed by users. PCOPY is similar to the DOS COPY command in that it copies file data between disks and hard disk directories. In addition, PCOPY is greatly superior to DOS copy in that it provides intelligent file selection and processing options. PCOPY options allow you to use a single PCOPY command to perform a function that would require many DOS copy commands and much thought. In addition to superior file copy functions, PCOPY provides a safer way to copy files than is provided by the DOS COPY command. It allows you to copy only newer files or update a directory with the contents of another. PCOPY will never overlay a file accidently. PMOVE is an option of the PCOPY command used to move files between disks and directories on disks. PMOVE combines the functions of DOS COPY and DELETE commands to make moving files very easy. In addition to just moving files, PMOVE also allows selection criteria to be specified to better qualify the files to be moved. PMOVE automatically determines the environment the move is requested for and then determines if the data must be moved or if the file can be moved by renaming. Moving with rename is allowed if the move is to another directory on the same disk device. If a rename move can be done, it is much faster than moving the data, it helps to keep from fragmenting disk free space, and allows very large files to be moved between directories when they could not normally be moved with DOS COPY because of insufficient space. Try PCOPY the advanced replacement for DOS COPY. Program Title: PDELETE Author Version: 4.1 Author Registration: $20.00 Special Requirements: Hard disk. PDELETE is an advanced Delete command to be used in DOS operating systems. It may be used in place of the DOS Erase and Delete command or instead of it. Like other Patriquin utilities, PDELETE gives you more control of command processing and provides a much safer way to process files. PDELETE also provides several features not found with the standard DOS command. Unlike other delete utilities, PDELETE does support DOS paths and wildcards. It keeps you aware of what files are being processed and provides an emergency stop feature just in case you have started something you feel is wrong. PDELETE's file selection parameters provide you with numerous options for specifying the files to be deleted. You may select by directory, file, date, attribute, size, and even starting and ending filename. Features: ~ Advanced file selection ~ Emergency STOP by pressing any key ~ Delete entire directories and remove them from disk ~ Optionally wipe file data from disk during delete to prevent it from being recovered by unauthorized person. ~ Optional verify feature lets you approve each file before it is deleted ~ Optionally deletes HIDDEN / SYSTEM / READONLY files ~ Delete files until specified freespace is available ~ Advanced DOS Pattern capability. ~ Test feature allows you to try a command before actually deleting any files. ~ Deletes from multiple disk drives with a single command ~ Accepts a list of files to be deleted. ~ Exclusion capability allows files to be protected from deletion.
