Alphabet Sort

Download: Size: Updated:

asort.bat 1,262 bytes October 28, 2004

A tool to group a large number of files into alphabetical subdirectories by file name. This creates 36 subdirectories with single character names using the letters A through Z and the numbers 0 through 9 to hold the files. Files that start with characters that don't match the letters or numbers are sorted by the second character of the file name. This allows files like (Sample).JPG to be placed into the S directory. This batch file uses recursive calling to perform the file location and moving on each of the file names. @LBR() See the SPREAD.ZIP program for a more feature rich file management solution.

Big File Copy

Download: Size: Updated:

bcopy.zip 14,471 bytes December 02, 2005

There is a problem with some versions of Microsoft Windows that allows programs to create and use files larger then 2 Gigabytes, but the copy function built into Windows Explorer and command prompts reports an error when attempting to read those files. This program does not care how large a file is, or where it is located. If Windows can see the file, this program can copy it. This is a binary copy that retains all file attributes and time/date stamp information - a true copy. Fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is included. Do not use this program to place files larger than 2 gigabytes on to an IPAD-OS server that is not using the IPAD-OS boot loader or that has an IPAD-OS boot loader with a build number lower than 4.20.1596.

It would be a fairly minor change to add an interactive part to allow the user to create a custom database file using the structure in this program.

File Spreader

Download: Size: Updated:

spread.zip 28,304 bytes November 12, 2008

This program moves files by groups into subdirectories. Things can get very slow if you have a large number of files all in one directory. This program allows you to move those files into subdirectories each containing a subset group that can make searching and working with the files a lot faster especially for programs that continually scan or count files in the directory. There are two methods that can be used to group the files; number and alphabetical. The fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is included.

Spyware Domain List Tool

Download: Size: Updated:

spy_not.zip 126,461 bytes July 10, 2007

This is a tool to translate a public list of known spyware web sites into IPAD-OS format for including into the BOOT.NAM on your DNS server. The list is very large (over 12,000 domains) and may cause extra work load on your IPAD-OS server if you have hardware over 5 years old. A DNS list this large is not compatible with older IPAD-OS versions (5.52 or older) and can cause the web management interface to crash. It is important to note that the IFX Group does not maintain the master list of domain names, we just provide the format conversion tool. The fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is included so you can freely modify to meet exact your needs.

Unique File Name Tool

Download: Size: Updated:

uname.zip 26,357 bytes November 18, 2005

This program makes sure all of the files in a directory (including all subdirectories) have unique file names. This is useful for those with digital cameras and large collections of pictures with similar and sometimes meaningless machine-generated file names. Once all file names are unique, they may be freely organized or combined into any directory within the starting directory tree without conflict. The original file name is preserved, but long file name support is required. Complete PowerBASIC source code is also included with a nice example of how to scan very full directories with many thousands of files in only a few seconds using the Windows API.

The fully commented PowerBASIC/CC source code is included.

Extreme FDISK cleaner

Download: Size: Updated:

xfdisk.zip 1,554 bytes December 02, 2005

This batch file uses a short script passed to the Microsoft DEBUG.EXE program (not included) to totally remove all partitions on your hard disk along with all of the data contained in those partitions in less than a second. This is a very destructive tool and by design causes loss of data. If you have a disk with partitions that Microsoft FDISK is not able to remove, this is the quickest way to zap them and get a clean disk ready to accept a new partition. This batch file is designed to be run from a drive (floppy disk, CD or USB device) that is not the disk you want to erase. WARNING! USING THIS CAUSES LOSS OF DATA!
