Disk No: 1853 Disk Title: DirUtils/QHelp/QText PC-SIG Version: S1 Program Title: DIRUTILS Author Version: 1.00 Author Registration: $30.00 Special Requirements: None. Here is a collection of directory-related programs that will excite you. ADVOCATE SCOUT is a ``file finder'' with features such as simultaneous multiple searches and path-specific searching. Now you can find files if you know virtually anything about them--any part of the name, something like it or just its approximate date. Comes complete with batch files to automate your most frequent searches. For example, simply type ``TODAY'' for all of today's files. ADVOCATE DIR masquerades as a typical, modern DIR replacement, but when you want to compare several directories or sets of files, up to four can be displayed side by side as easily as one. ADVOCATE TREE is the useful TREE replacement you've waited for. Far more informative than TREE, it includes size of directory and percentage of the drive it occupies, and operates at twice the speed. CDX is a fast way to change directories with a single command. It also changes drives and directories with one three-stroke command. All utilities work great within menus, but they're especially powerful for the command-line power user. Program Title: QHELP/QTEXT Author Version: 4.02 Author Registration: $39.95 Special Requirements: None. QTEXT turns your ordinary text files into stand-alone, instantly executable ".COM" program files, so you or others can easily view their contents simply by typing the file's name--just like any other file ending with ".COM". Screens pause where you want them until the user is ready to continue, at which point the screen clears and the next section is displayed. Users may abort (or pause output) at any time. QHELP transforms your text into a menu-driven environment. By a simple, one-word key at the head of the file, you determine whether the user will be offered the opportunity to print out the file in a professionally-formatted manner, complete with a header line containing useful information (page and section numbers, date of last file revision and title of your choice). You can also give your users the choice to display (or optionally print) the entire file or only chosen sections. If you're the de facto "computer expert" for your family or office, preparing such files offers you the chance to thoughtfully provide your knowledge and advice in an organized, easily used format.
