To tidy, sort, prune and dedup a JP Software
Take Command/TCC/4NT/4DOS hidden descript.ion file. These files are used by the DESCRIBE utility to track what your various files are for.
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,
(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 _O_V_E_R_V_I_E_W.txt with the information about all your files
in the directory in aligned human readable form.
