Commands with Short description

1. assign

The command redirects requests for disk operations on one drive to a different drive.

assign [x[:]=y[:][...]]
assign /STATUS

Options:

* x The drive letter to reassign.
* y The drive letter that x: will be assigned to.
* /STATUS Displays the current drive assignments.

If typed without parameters then all drive letters are reset to original assignments.

The command is available in MS-DOS 5.00.

2. append

(External)

Display or sets the search path for data files. DOS will search the specified path(s) if the file is not found in the current path. This had some creative uses, such as allowing non-CD based games to be run from the CD, with configuration/save files stored on the HD.

append;
append [d:]path[;][d:]path[...]
append [/X:]n|off][/E]

3.attrib

Change or view the attributes of one or more files. It defaults to displaying the attributes of all files in the current directory.

Options:

* To add an attribute attach a '+' in front of it.
* To remove an attribute attach a '-' in front of it
* Attributes include
o R - Read-only
o A - Archive
o S - System
o H - Hidden

attrib [+|-ahrs] [filespec]

Directory Attrib Functions: It is also possible to use ATTRIB across directories.

[drive:][path][filename]
Specifies a file or files for attrib to process.

*
o /D - Process folders as well.
o /S - Process matching files in the current folder and all subfolders.

Roughly equivalent to the Unix commands chattr and lsattr.

4. call

Calls one batch program from another. A new batch file context is created with the specified arguments and control is passed to the statement after the label specified.

Syntax:

call [filespec][batch file parameters]

* filespec: name and if necessary path of the new batch file
* parameters: switches

5. cd or chdir

Change current directory. Displays the current working directory when used without a path parameter.

cd

displays the current working directory on the current drive.

cd f:

displays the current working directory on F:.

cd directory

changes the working directory on the current drive to directory.

chdir e:directory

changes the working directory on E: to directory.

cd ..

changes the working directory to the parent directory (up one directory level).

cd \

changes the working directory to the root (top level) directory of the current drive.

Equivalent to the Unix command cd (with a path parameter), or pwd (without a parameter). cd .. changes to the parent directory.

6. chcp

Changes the code page used to display character glyphs in a console window.

chcp [codepage]

With a numeric parameter, this command changes the codepage setting to codepage. Without a parameter, the command displays the currently active codepage.

7. chkdsk

Verifies a hard disk or a floppy disk for file system integrity.

Options:

* /F :
* /P : Forces a full disk verification
* /R : Searches for defective sectors and recovers legible information (applies /F)

chkdsk drive [[path]filename] [/F] [/V]

Equivalent to the Unix command fsck

8. choice

Allows for batch files to prompt the user to select one item from a set of single-character choices.

Introduced in MS-DOS 6;[1] DR-DOS 7.03.[2]

9. cls

Clears the screen.

cls

Equivalent to the Unix clear.

10. copy

Copies files from one location to another. The destination defaults to the current directory. If multiple source files are indicated, the destination must be a directory, or an error will result.

copy filespec [destination]

Files may be copied to devices. For example, copy file lpt1 sends the file to the printer on LPT1. copy file con outputs file to the screen ("console"), which can also be done using type file. Devices themselves may be copied: copy con file takes the text typed into the console and puts it into file, stopping when EOF (Ctrl+Z) is typed.

Files may be concatenated using +. For example, copy file1+file2 file_cat will concatenate the files and output them as file_cat. There are two switches to modify the command's behaviour, /a (text mode, the default) and /b (binary mode). In text mode, copy will stop when it reaches the EOF character; in binary mode, the files will be concatenated in their entirety, ignoring EOF characters. Examples:

copy /a alpha.txt + beta.txt gamma.txt
copy /b alpha.mpg + beta.mpg gamma.mpg

Equivalent Unix commands are cp (for copying) and cat (for concatenation). Device files may be copied in Unix as well, e.g. cp file /dev/tty will display a file on the screen (but cat file is more commonly used here).
Equivalent RT-11/RSX-11/OpenVMS command is copy.

11. defrag

(in MS/PC-DOS; diskopt in DR-DOS)

Defragments a disk drive.
Options:

* -A – Analyses the fragmentation of a disk drive
* -F – Force defragmentation even if disk space is low
* -V – Verbose output mode

Example of usage:

defrag driveletter: -a -v

No Unix equivalent.

12. del or erase

Deletes one or more files.

del filename
erase filename

Equivalent to the Unix command rm.
Equivalent in RT-11/RSX-11/OpenVMS operating systems line is delete command which can be contracted to del.

13. deltree

Deletes a directory along with all of the files and subdirectories that it contains. Normally, it will ask for confirmation of such a drastic action.

deltree [/y] directory

The /y parameter, if present, tells the deltree command to carry out without first prompting for confirmation.

The deltree command is not included in recent Microsoft Windows operating systems. Deleting a non-empty directory in those versions of Windows where the command is not included, can be achieved by using the rmdir command as in the following example:

rmdir /s [/q] directory

In Unix, the functionality of deltree is provided by the rm command with the parameter -r (or -rf for the /y switch).

14. dir

Lists the contents of a directory.

The dir command typed by itself, displays the disk's volume label and serial number; one directory or filename per line, including the filename extension, the file size in bytes, and the date and time the file was last modified; and the total number of files listed, their cumulative size, and the free space (in bytes) remaining on the disk. The command is one of the few commands that exist from the first versions of DOS.

dir [drive:][path][filename] [parameters]

Most commonly used parameters of dir include:

* /W : Displays the listing in wide format, with as many as five filenames or directory names on each line.
* /P : Pause at every page
* /S : Also look in subdirectories
* /Axx: Display files with the specified attributes only
* /Oxx: Modifies sort order
* /B : Uses bare format (no heading information or summary)
* > [drive:][path][filename] : To Store Result in a text file;(c:\dir > c:\fileList.txt)

Possible attributes for the A parameter are D (directories), R (read-only files), H (hidden files), A (files/directories with the archive bit on), and S (system files). The prefix - negates an attribute; attributes can be combined (e.g. /A:/A means directories with the archive bit on).

Possible sort orders are N (name), S (size), E (extension), D (date and time), A (last access date), and G (group directories first). The prefix - reverses the order.

Other less commonly used parameters of dir include:

* /D : Display wide format but sorted by column
* /L : Display forced into lowercase
* /N : Display forced into long file name format instead of 8.3
* /Q : Displays the owner of each file
* /X : Display shows 8.3 names next to long file names

The default parameters of dir can be set using the DIRCMD environment variable.

Equivalent to the Unix command ls (the option -l is "long" list format, it works the opposite way from /w.)

Equivalent in RT-11/RSX-11/OpenVMS operating systems line is directory command which can be contracted to dir.

15. echo

Prints its own arguments back out to the DOS equivalent of the standard output stream. Usually, this means directly to the screen, but the output of echo can be redirected like any other command. Often used in batch files to print text out to the user.

echo this is text Outputs 'this is text'
echo. Outputs a blank line

Another important use of the echo command is to toggle echoing of commands on and off in batch files.

echo on turns on echoing of commands
echo off turns off echoing of commands

Traditionally batch files begin with the @echo off statement. This says to the interpreter that echoing of commands should be off during the whole execution of the batch file thus resulting in a "tidier" output. The @ symbol declares that this particular command (echo off) should also be executed without echo. For example the following 2 batch files are equivalent:
Batch1.bat:

@echo off
echo The files in your root directory:
dir /b /a-d c:\

Batch2.bat:

@echo The files in your root directory:
@dir /b /a-d c:\

Echo can be used to write to files directly from the console, by redirecting the output stream:

echo text > filename

Echo can also be used to append to files directly from the console, again by redirecting the output stream:

echo text >> filename

To type more than one line from the console into a file, use copy con (above).
Equivalent to the Unix command echo.

16. exe2bin

Converts an executable (.exe) file into a binary file with the extension .com, which is a memory image of the program.
The size of the resident code and data sections combined in the input .exe file must be less than 64KB. The file must also have no stack segment.

17. exit

Exits the current command processor. If the exit is used at the primary command, it has no effect unless in a DOS window under Microsoft Windows, in which case the window is closed and the user returns to the desktop.

EXIT

Exit also exists in Unix-shells. If an exit command is used in the primary command shell under Unix, however, it will logoff the user, similar to the control-D keystroke.

18. fastopen

Main article: FASTOPEN

19. fc or comp

Compares two files or sets of files and displays the differences between them.

FC [/A] [/C] [/L] [/LBn] [/N] [/T] [/W] [/nnnn] [drive1:][path1]filename1 [drive2:][path2]filename2
FC /B [drive1:][path1]filename1 [drive2:][path2]filename2
/A Displays only first and last lines for each set of differences.
/B Performs a binary comparison.
/C Disregards the case of letters.
/L Compares files as ASCII text.
/LBn Sets the maximum consecutive mismatches to the specified number of lines.
/N Displays the line numbers on an ASCII comparison.
/T Does not expand tabs to spaces.
/W Compresses white space (tabs and spaces) for comparison.
/nnnn Specifies the number of consecutive lines that must match after a mismatch.
[drive1:][path1]filename1 Specifies the first file or set of files to compare.
[drive2:][path2]filename2 Specifies the second file or set of files to compare.[citation needed]

Equivalent to the Unix commands comm, cmp and diff.

20. fdisk

Manipulates hard disk partition tables. The name derives from IBM's habit of calling hard drives fixed disks. When run from the command line, it displays a menu of various partitioning operations:

1. Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive
2. Set active partition
3. Delete partition or Logical DOS Drive
4. Display partition information
5. Change current fixed disk drive (only available if the computer has more than one hard drive)

FDISK /MBR installs a standard master boot record on the hard drive.

FDISK /MBR #: where # is other partition on system. Completes above command on indicated partition.

eg: "C:\FDISK /MBR D:" would install boot record on D:\ partition.

Fdisk exists under Unix with the same name, but it is an entirely different program. However they share purposes.

How to Move Web Applications to Your Desktop

Although many people have their favorite web apps setup as their homepage on their browsers, there are times when running a web app inside its own window – in a separate process – could come handy. Think about having your browser clogged up with way above 30-40 tabs open and crashing at random times.

Then, you will just have to open it again and fire up the web interface you were working with at the time of the crash. A desktop web app will automatically eliminate the need of restarting your work flow all over again just because a buggy web browser decided that he had enough.

That’s only a quick example why one would need a web app to run on its desktop. To be able to do it, you will have to use an application developed by Mozilla and named Prism. It enables the end user to easily integrate any type of web application into a friendly desktop environment.

Why use it

Most probably the final users of the desktop web apps will be those who don’t know a lot about computers, the kind of people who consider a web app like a distinct application. This is actually a good thing if you see it from the developer’s point of view because, this way, people will tend not to think that they are on the web.

Thus, the web app will get a temporary status of desktop application, a fact that, added up to the lack of toolbars and other browser specific elements, will help the end user to get a lot more focus on the task at hand and greatly reduce distractions.

Wondering what other uses you might have for such an app? Well, you could use it to stay logged on into a Google calendar account without having to re-login when switching between your Gmail accounts, easily access a local web app inside a business environment where you do not need a full browsing experience, and the list could go on.

Also, Prism will allow the web developers to easily create web apps that can run on Prism without having to worry about specifically targeting Prism, because a web app that will run in a modern standards compliant web browser will automatically be able to run in Prism.

Prism is an application built on Firefox, therefore it is cross-platform (runs on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows) and supports Internet technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

How to use it

First of all, go HERE and download Prism to your computer. After mounting the downloaded dmg file, copy Prism to your Applications folder and run it by double clicking on its icon.

In the window that will appear you will get access to all the options you will need to configure the desktop web app you want to create. I have chosen the Google Gmail web app as an example, but you can migrate to your desktop any other app you may want to.

In the URL field fill in the link to the web app you have chosen and write down the name that Prism should give it after making it available on your desktop. The ‘Show location bar’, ‘Show status message and progress’ and ‘Enable navigation keys’ can be selected or left as they are according to your own taste. In case you want your web app to only be able to go to a single web location (like the aforementioned Gmail for example), be sure not to select the location bar.

The ‘Create Shortcuts’ option sub-group will help you choose the places where you want the web app to be available and the ‘Icon’ option will allow you to quickly select an image that you wan to associate with the web app you want to create. You will be able to choose between the web app’s fav icon (as it is called in the Prism interface ‘the icon from the web’) or to select a custom image from your computer.

The next step is to push the OK button and Prism will take care of everything. The web app will be available on your Desktop, Dock and/or Applications Folder, according to what you have chosen on the desktop web app creation interface.

Who would use it

I suppose many people will not get the idea behind the Prism project and will think it is just a feature-less web browser. That’s what I’ve thought in the beginning too but, after considering all the things everyone had to say (web developers, web browser users, people who don’t have a lot of computer know-how), I think Prism might prove very useful in the business environment.

Here, when somebody wants to access a web app, the need for toolbars and all types of add-ons and buttons is almost close to zero, therefore being able to access the web app in a clean and focused environment should prove very helpful in maximizing the amount of attention on the task at hand and, in the end, creating a more productive environment.

I’m not saying others won’t find it useful too (the Google Calendar example above should fit the profiles of a lot of people), it’s just that this type of approach doesn’t feel natural to most web users. Many have already said it just resembles too much making a shortcut to the actual website where the web app runs or even giving up on the multi-tabbed browser experience.
