FourTidy 2.6 - Tidies Take Command DESCRIBE file descriptors

FourTidy

FourTidy: To tidy, sort, prune and dedup a JP Software Take Command/4NT/4DOS hidden descript.ion file. These files are used by the DESCRIBE utility to track what your various files are for. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/takecommand.html for more information on the Take Command/4NT command processor. First make the directory containing the usually-hidden descript.ion file current. e.g. C: cd \env Then invoke the java program with: java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\fourtidy\fourtidy.jar If you have Excelsior Jet, (http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html/) you can compile the jar and simplify that long-winded command to: fourtidy.exe To save typing, create a *.BAT file on the path containing the command. You might also want to hide/reveal the descript.ion file with: attrib +h descript.ion attrib -h descript.ion Fourtidy will sort, tidy, and prune duplicates in the descript.ion file. It will also create a non-hidden file called manifest.txt with the information about all your files in the directory in aligned human readable form. Be careful, fourtidy will replace any existing manifest.txt file you may have in the directory!!
