ZeroIn
|
ZeroIn provides fast CD replacement with Windows 95/98/2000/NT/XP long filename support, history,aliases, fixes your spelling, partial name matching. A must have for Windows 95 long filenames. Does NOT require index files. List for multiple matches. Matches / and , ... etc. Create dir if not found.
With it you can
* easily move between commonly used directories
* easily return to a recently used directory
* ignore platform differences like Unix / and DOS
* abbreviate directory names
* change drives and directories at the same time
Whats New
* Now has native 32-bit executable for handling long filenames under Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT, as well as the original 16-bit executable for DOS, Windows 3.1 and 95.
* Flag to prevent ZeroIn from suggesting that a directory should be created
* HTML help documentation
ZeroIn will NOT work if you run it under Windows 2000 or Windows XP's command.com. It must be run under cmd.exe. To check which variant of the shell you use, right click your MS-DOS Prompt icon, select Properties, then Program. Verify the Cmd Line is set to C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe or similar. The reason for this is that command.com does not allow a program to change the directory.
Features:
* Sophisticated matching engine allows you to abbreviate directory names and even type them incorrectly - eg "\WINODWS" will find "\WINDOWS".
* Eliminate the tedium of typing Windows 95 long filenames (which it supports fully).
* History list of your 20 most recently visited directories. You can re-visit the previous directory or any recent directory very easily.
* Up to 20 aliases that map names you supply to your most commonly used directories.
* If there are no matches ZeroIn can create the directory for you. It will supply a list of the best partial matches so far.
* Environment variable that specifies where the history and alias information is kept. This is very useful for networks that use a shared executable.
* Supports wildcard matching. * is ALWAYS added so W -> W*.*
* If there is more than one match you can choose from a list, which can be pages long. If necessary, very long directory names are folded with \...\ characters to fit on to the screen.
* Common abbreviations: . -> .. Save typing going up one level ... -> ..\.. Save typing going up two levels .... -> ..\..\.. Save typing going up three levels etc " " -> \ Space saves finding that (back)slash key \\ -> \*\ Saves hitting [Shift+8]
* Doesn't care if you use Unix '/' or DOS '\'.
* Network compatible.
* You can change drives at the same time.
* Does NOT use index files of any sort, so...
1.you don't have index files cluttering your hard disk
2.you don't have to periodically update the index
3.you aren't restricted to creating, renaming, moving or removing directories using just one program AND
4.it works for floppies, CD-ROMS, Zip/IOMega drives and other removable media.
* Perform multilevel matches eg \*\doc finds all second level doc directories.
* Adapts to your screen mode - 25/43/50 lines.
* Sets error level if no directory found.
