This *has* to be simple, but the solution eludes me...
It's time to clean up the old hard disk, which is up to 97 subdirectories
and around 1700 files (2/3 of a 30 MB HD is full already??). Since two of
us share this device, we need to have a sitdown to plan removal of unused
items. All I want is a simple way to list the file name and size of every
file in every subdirectory on the device. Dates/times would also be nice,
but not critical.
None of my DOS "Tricks" books cover this. The TREE command won't list
file size. The only approach I can think of is to use TREE without the
file names, then edit the output to generate a list of all of the sub-
directories, which I could then feed to DIR recursively somehow and
redirect the output to a file for later printing. Isn't there a simpler
way?

What I use is a utility called SWEEP, which I got from PC Magazine. You give it a DOS command as a parameter, then it will execute the command in the current directory and all the sub-directories. So if you executed the following command from the root: SWEEP DIR > LPT1: That would give you what you need. -- Joel Upchurch/Concurrent Computer Corp/2486 Sand Lake Rd/Orlando, FL 32809 joel@peora.ccur.com {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd,ucf-cs}!peora!joel Telephone: (407) 850-1040 Fax: (407) 857-0713

So if you executed You might also check for a posting a while back to c.b.i.p. called "ls". It is a dos version of the Unix "ls". Using "ls -lR" will give you a long directory listing that is recursive. It will have all the directories, subdirectories with file size, date etc. Redirecting it to a file is the easiest way. "ls -lR >direct.lst". Rusty Smith Internet: rsmith@vms.macc.wisc.edu MACC Data Communications Bitnet: rsmith@wiscmacc (608) 263-6307 Univ. of Wisconsin @ Madison

Norton's FF (find file) does it, unless I misunderstand you.
Just run FF from your root directory.
Oh, with no parameters.

Try getting hold of a shareware program called Directory Scanner. I have a
copy (non 'cloned') which I can mail you, or get in touch with the author:

Excellent program, and a $15 dollar contribution requested. Program has
annoying delays when you switch directories if you don't send in the money, but
otherwise has full capabilities.
No connection other than being a very satisfied user for couple years.

The July-August 1989 issue (#48) of Micro Cornucopia (available
at discriminating bookshops everywhere for $3.95) arrived at my
house on June 2. Some of the topics discussed recently in this
newsgroup have received prominent attention in this issue of the
publication which bills itself as "The Micro Technical Journal".
The "Shareware" column by Anthony Barcellos contains a section on
Helpware's Director 1.0 which is a collection of utilities
previously distributed under the names DL and DB) for file
management in DOS and a full description of QEdit. There is also
a discussion of data compression in this article as well as an
article by Michael S. Hunt on "Compression Routines" including a
complete listing (in Pascal) of simple Compression/Decompression
routines.
Since I do not recall any mention of "Director" in this
newsgroup, it is probably worth mentioning that it is available
for $30 with the printed manual ($25 with only the on-disk
manual) from
Helpware
100 Bayo Vista Way, #6
San Raphael, CA 94901
Those who are looking for this sort of product may wish to
consult the article and/or write to the distributer for more
information.
