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:commindprodfourtidyfourtidy.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.
