FourTidy

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.
