for download from my web site at www.dwhawkinson.com

 

Sequential Utilities: sequential copy and rename utilities.

NUMBERS: scans the directories and files on one or more drives. It displays a list of the directories and shows the total size in bytes of the files in each directory. This program is free, but the author retains all rights.

 

UPTIME: reports the time since the last boot.

The C++ code in the file uptime.cpp was posted in the usenet newsgroup comp.os.os2.utilities by John Allen <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>. It reports the time an OS/2 system has been running since the last boot.

 

I have compiled the code with BCC++ and made it available as a public download on my web page. This is an update that fixes an error that occured when the time since the last boot was less than 1 hour.

These are similar to the unix head and tail programs.
Head displays the first few lines of a text file.

A command line file and directory removal program. It will remove subdirectories and files including those that are marked as read-only and hidden. The subdirectories do not need to be empty.

 

PIPEOUT: displays the contents of one or more files to STDOUT
The files may be specified on the command line and may include wildcards, or the input list may piped from another application.
I use PIPEOUT to pipe the contents of text files with long fileneames into the List utility.
