Hi Thomas,
Thank you, maybe some would not say that I am weird, but I'm sure that other's might
argue with you. <grin>
You know when I started teaching myself programming variable names were limited
to two characters. And there was no hard or floppy drive available for that
computer. I had to buy a cable to connect it to a cassette tape recorder. I
did learn hexadecimal code so that I could define the eight by eight grid block
ASCII character sets and then put those blocks on the screen so as to draw
things. That was fun, but it is so much more fun now to be able to play and
move multiple sound files, use the text to speech engine etc. Do wish though
that I had better math skills etc...
Right now I on the desk top press c and enter, cm and enter, d and enter. C is
my short cut icon to the command prompt. Cm changes to my mail archive folder.
D does, dir /-n /od. So at the bottom of the screen it reads;
thomaswa txt 1,499,790 05/31/2013 10:27 AM
4547 File(s) 264,731,769 bytes
2 Dir(s) 18,240,888,832 bytes free
C:\mailarch>
So that is one of the mail archive files that I have for you. And that is the last file written to that folder because I am writing to you and it first archived what you wrote. I do that some times to see if a person that I am responding to has written me before. Instead of cm above, I type gobas and see at the bottom of the screen the last files that I worked on in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98
I just like seeing the file name, size, date and time.
I guess that I just have never liked the way that Windows lists files better
than the way that dos did. Some times though I do use /w or /b or do not use
the /-n with the dir command so as to see the full long names of files.
Better say sorry for such a long rambling post.
BFN
Jim
I remember when I used to peek and poke.
