***  JANUARY 22nd MEETING AGENDA
.. --  CSSDIR v.2.0 DIRECTORY/FILE SIFTING TOOL FOR OS2/eCS  --
..          >>>  SPECIAL TREAT:- FRESH HOT PIZZA!  <<<
  
For the first meeting of year 2004, I'm pleased to announce that our guest
speaker, Paul Curtis, an OS2/eCS user and developer, will conduct a
presentation/demo of his new CSSDIR v.2.0 release, a command-line based,
directory/file sifting tool for OS/2 & eCS.
  
The standard DIR command has changed very little since the birth of OS/2
in the late 1980's, when most work was being done with floppies, and
program files were minimal in number. But today, we typically deal with
many hundreds or thousands of files, and the DIR capability is too limited
to sift through this many files.
  
CSSDIR's requirements are very minimal. It may be invoked on a freshly
booted OS/2 or eCS system via Alt-F1. It's not dependent on the PMSHELL
being available, nor on any non-standard DLL's.
  
A partial list of CSSDIR's many powerful features includes:
 - Over 75 user controllable options "CANable" via ini file
 - Save frequently used options for easy reuse
 - Baseline snapshots for later comparisons & system differences
 - Filter files by a size range and an EAsize range
 - Duplicate file detection, even named differently!
 - Unique files filter over multiple directory trees
 - Can apply a set of wildcards over base directories
 - Control depth of subDirectory searches
 - Reading search requests from batch input files
 - Excluding files/directories from searches
 - Case sensitive/insensitive text strings searches
 - User control over all file fields to display
 - Sorting by relative paths amongst multiple requests
 - Combining multiple requests into one integrated listing
 - Different sorted listings in one pass and invocation
 - Computes CRCs on files data and even EAs
 - Output can be easily parsed from REXX
 - HUGE gathering/sorting requests monitorable even over a LAN
 - Summary only report
  
Paul is a software engineer consultant with 20 years experience, focused
on real time embedded systems. Paul lives in the Scranton area, but has
been associated with our user group for many years. He can be reached at:

Other agenda items include announcements, news & new software releases,

CSSDIR release for raffle. And you
will also enjoy fresh hot pizza, delivered to our meeting.
