writer Robert Sawyer's manifesto of WordStar as the True Way for writersI am using this tool. I don't call it a "text editor" I call it a "writer's tool." That's what it's designed for and that is where it shines.

would just pop-up a transparent, non-intrusive inputbox, allow you to type into it and when you hit enter it disappears and copies the text to the clipboard.-murple (January 10, 2007, 05:55 PM)
rjbull: unless the tool is very ugly and reads the disk directly (which I doubt), it should work under NT, and on NTFS as well. "This option will only work under an operating system which provides the long-name API." - this sounds a lot like it will work-f0dder (January 08, 2007, 09:23 AM)
In this case, I won't want to go back DOS unless I have no choice!-tslim (January 07, 2007, 09:15 AM)
Ordinary DOS can't see NTFS drive (yes I am aware of NTFSdos, which allow so), does not handle long file name (again I am aware of DOS way to make it does), can't see drive bigger than 2 Gig and so on and so....
Even though DOS is still better (than Windows) way to go when you want to do something "task orientated" rather than "object orientated"
/L Display Windows 95 Long filenames. This option will only work under
an operating system which provides the long-name API. It will work
in a DOS box under Windows 95, but not in Win95 DOS mode (MS-DOS 7.x.)
It will work with DR-DOS only if you have Caldera's long-filename TSR
installed.
This option only affects the display! Locate still searches for files
using the 8.3 DOS filenames. If you want to search for a specific long
filename, I recommend that you type only the first five letters, followed
by an asterisk: LOCATE BLUER* /L to find a file named "Blue Rivets.bmp".
(This file probably has a short filename of BLUERI~1.BMP, so BLUER* will
match it.) To find all the short "aliases" which refer to non-8.3
filenames, try LOCATE *~*
/O:"format" Macro Output. For each item found, Locate will print out the
string between quotes exactly as typed, except that certain
macros beginning with an ampersand (&) will be replaced.
macro what it displays width example
&F fully qualified filename - C:\DOS\DISKCOPY.COM
&D directory name, canonical - C:\DOS
&P directory name with \ - C:\DOS\
&N filename - DISKCOPY.COM
&R filename without extension - DISKCOPY
&X extension only - COM
&S filespec without drive - \DOS\DISKCOPY.COM
&L drive letter - C:
&G copy target, no drive - \DOS
&J right-padded with spaces 13 win.com
&A attributes, as for ATTRIB 11 +A -S -H -R
&B attribute bits 5 A....
&W Windows 95 long filename - "C:\Directory\Long Filename.html"
&Z long filename only, no path - "Long Filename.html"
&Y long directory name with \ - "C:\Directory\"
&V long filename base - Long Filename
&K long filename extension - html

How nice if LS lets user add a phase at the beginning or append a phase to end of every item it outputs.-tslim (January 07, 2007, 12:27 AM)
I believe there could be a TC plugin for what I want to do, but isn't it a main feature that should be IN the TC program itself rather than an optional plugin?
What I want is just the "search result" on a folder-tree for certain type of files be printed (path+file or full filespec) to a text file! That simple!-tslim (January 05, 2007, 12:03 AM)
WinXP's search can't be printed; I try (but never study in depth) and find that Total commander, xPlorer2 and D.Opus all just can't do exactly what I want????
I have to do it the DOS way, ah!ha! ha! ha!
Plus it includes automatic duplex, automatic 4-up booklet printing (which is really neat), mulitple page reduction to a single sheet-Carol Haynes (December 16, 2006, 05:35 AM)
My Canon ip5000 has a cartidge tray feed but it also also a straight through feed - it is great to have the choice. Plus it includes automatic duplex, automatic 4-up booklet printing (which is really neat), mulitple page reduction to a single sheet and CD/DVD printing and produces really great photos.-Carol Haynes (December 16, 2006, 05:35 AM)
I'd like to see an option where I can be notified of an important post by the staff.
i like this idea too, and maybe a central page where the most important posts can be seen all together, regardless of section.-mouser (December 19, 2006, 05:52 AM)
I really think governments should act on this kind of stupidity and charge companies that do this a levy on recycling costs of old printers unless they reduce ink costs to a reasonable level.-Carol Haynes (December 15, 2006, 08:21 PM)
I guess it is no different from why the printer manufacturers literally sell their snazzy looking printers which are gas ink guzzlers (at US$2,000 per gallon of ink)
It's just a commercial decision for them.-patteo (December 14, 2006, 07:15 AM)

Well that's the legal stuff sorted.

Just thought you'd want to know that.
