Have you ever wanted to be able to test for the existance of a given
directory from within a batch file?

Now you can with the help of EXISTDIR.EXE.

Usage:
     EXISTDIR <full path name of directory>

Examples:
     EXISTDIR F:\APPLICATIONS\PROCOMM
     EXISTDIR C:\UTILITY

If the directory does not exist, EXISTDIR will set the DOS error level
to 1; otherwise it will be set to 0 (the directory exists).

     SAMPLE.BAT
     @ECHO OFF
     EXISTDIR C:\QUICKEN
     IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO NODIR
     CD\QUICKEN
     Q
     GOTO END

     :NODIR
     ECHO C:\QUICKEN DOES NOT EXIST
     GOTO END

     :END
     EXIT

     ANOTHER.BAT
     @ECHO OFF
     @REM %USER% CONTAINS USER'S LOGIN ID
     EXISTDIR F:\APP\PROCOMM\%USER%
     @REM IF DIRECTORY DOES NOT EXIST, THEN CREATE IT.
     IF ERRORLEVEL 1 MD F:\APP\PROCOMM\%USER%
     CD F:\APP\PROCOMM\%USER%
     SET PCOMNET=F:\APP\PROCOMM
     PCOMNET /FNCR9500U.ASP
     SET PCOMNET=
     CD F:\%USER%
     EXIT


Also included in this archive is a utility called LISTDIRS.EXE.
LISTDIRS will display the subdirectories within the current directory
or a directory of your choice.

Usage:
     LISTDIRS
   or
     LISTDIRS F:\APP\PROCOMM

Both programs are free, and include the source code for the main
modules.
