 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!!
