                            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
