QD.EXE
by David Foster
QD is yet another DIR type of program, but with a few slight
differences. The program was created for my personal use as a result of
my preference to be able to see a sorted listing of filenames together
with the approximate file size, without all the clutter of directories
and dates as well. Similarly, I wanted to be able to easily display a
list of sub-directories without the clutter of filenames, hence the
available option.
By default, only the filenames and their size, in Kilobytes are
displayed, together with a total of the number of files and their
accumulated size. These are displayed in alphabetically sorted order,
four columns across the screen, so that the maximum number may be
displayed at a time. If there are too many to be displayed at one time,
the display pauses until the Space Bar is pressed. Directory names are
not included in the list
An optional switch, '/D' is available and, when used, a sorted list of
the only the sub-directories of the specified directory ( or Current if
none specified) is displayed.
SYNTAX
QD (<filespec>) (/D)
<filespec> is optional and if omitted, all files in the current
directory will be listed. Wildcards, drive letters and
directory paths may be included. Specifying a directory
without a filename will result in a list of all files in the
specified directory.
/D is also optional. If used, only sub-directory names of the
specified directory will be listed, instead of filenames.
EXAMPLES
QD List all files in current directory
QD A: List all files on the root directory of drive A:
QD \MYDIR List all files in '\MYDIR' directory
QD \MYDIR\*.DOC List all '.DOC' files in '\MYDIR'
QD /D List all sub-directories off the current directory
QD \MYDIR /D List all sub-directories off '\MYDIR' directory
