New Upload to Simtel20: PD1:<MSDOS.DIRUTL>JSDOWN2.ARC I called the arc-file JSDOWN2.ARC so that it won't be confused with the DOWN that is alread up there. The files inside are just called DOWN2.* DOWN is a substitute for CD, which allows a great deal of flexibility and ease of use. The two major enhancements over the DOS CD command are abbreviations and the ability to use VMS and UNIX directory specifiers. An example of the abbreviations would be if I wanted to go to my \COMM\DOWNLD directory, I could merely type DOWN \CO\DO. Basically, it searches first for CO* and finds the \COMM directory and then further searches for \COMM\DO* and finds \COMM\DOWNLD and then changes directory to it. You could also say DOWN [CO.DO] (VMS style; you can even leave off the trailing bracket) or DOWN /CO/DO (Unix style). This program is very much public domain. =============================================================================== James Shoffit BitNet: JAMES@UNTVAX (POSTMAST@UNTVAX) Vax Programmer/Operator THENET: NTVAXB::JAMES (NTVAXB::POSTMASTER) Postmaster for UNTVAX.BITNET Inter : james@vaxb.acs.unt.edu University of North Texas SPAN : UTSPAN::UTADNX::NTVAXB::JAMES Denton, Texas 76203 AT&T : 1 (817) 565-4161 ===============================================================================
