GO.EXE v5.2 ----------- The 7-in-1 Utility Program for the IBM and compatible computers Copyright (C) 1990 by Nick Shaw BSG Software All rights reserved. 19 June 1990 GO52.ZIP contains seven files: GO.EXE Version for color only README This file GO.DOC Documentation for using GO GO.HST Revision list INFO.EXE Provides information about your system INFO.C Source code (public domain) REGISTER Registration form This program is distributed as shareware. This means you have the oppor- tunity to use and evaluate it before you decide to buy. If you find that you use it for other than evaluation purposes, then you are strongly encouraged to register the program. Registration is a mere $10.00 and entitles you to one free update and information on further updates as they occur. Please support the shareware concept, I've spent a good deal of time developing and enhancing this program - your support will help me to continue to help you. This program performs the following seven functions: - Change file attributes (on single or class of files) - Read attributes of files and/or directories - Search for specified files regardless of which hard drive they reside on (file extensions are not required if = .*). System will also find files which are hidden. RAM and network disks are also supported. Program will allow you to switch to the directory of the desired file should you so desire. - Create new directories and move to them - Rename directories - Move files around your hard disk without having to delete them afterwards. Very fast because no actual disk movement occurs. - Move files between hard disks (eliminates the next step of deleting files after the move). - Remove directories that still contain files and/or sub-directories. This function will remove all files and/or sub-directories and them remove the main file itself. It performs the same function as UNIXs rm -r command. - Supports either color or monochrome monitors (the autodetect ver- sion is still under development). The benefit of this program is that you do not need to remember seven different program names in order to perform any of these functions. Using this program alone will generally save at least 35K when compared to sep- arate programs performing the same functions. This program contains any and all information necessary to operate it efficiently. Simply type GO and the program will display its complete syntax and all switches. For examples, review the GO.DOC file. I would recommend putting this file into either your root directory or your /dos (or whatever you call your directory with your dos/operating system programs) directory and ensure that you have set a path to it. That way you can call up the program from anywhere on your system without having to specify a path. An example of setting a path is: SET PATH = C:\DOS Specifying the drive ensures that you will be able to access this directory should you have more than one hard drive and not be on the drive containing the file and directory. Place you SET PATH command into your autoexec.bat file thus ensuring proper setting upon system startup. This program will run on all IBM PC or compatible machines using an 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, or 80486 processors. It requires at least a CGA color monitor. If your needs require a large amount of programs for distributing throughout your organization, I do have a reduced cost structure based upon number of copies purchased. I welcome all comments and suggestions from all users and hope that these utilities meet your needs/requirements.
