Msg: Re: New U2 frame DDIR

Hi Jordan,

4DOS is an integral part of vDos-lfn, so if you use vDos-lfn then DDIR and other similar U2 frames will work out of the box without the need to perform any extra steps (e.g. you don't need to worry about the version of 4DOS at all). Hope this helps.

Does the version of 4DOS matter ?

Hi Carl,

Thanks. It works out of the box in vDos-lfn.

U2 now includes a new frame, DDIR*, which uses 4DOS (if available) to
produce directory listings including long filenames. The usage is:

DDIR[/switch(es)] [filespec(s)]

Also, note that two existing frames, LCA and S, work in
"point-and-shoot" mode against a "bare" directory listing. Thus, if
you command:

DDIR/B *.txt *.pdf

you can then point at any .txt file in the listing and command
DCA to CAll it, or point at any .pdf file and use S
to open it in the default Windows application.

U2 downloads:

New users (or users running U2 v122 or earlier):

Users running U2 v123 or v124:
