Don't laugh at nc

linux people still use bsc, Bee Soft Commander, a clone of norton commander and a very powerful tool.

It has almost every feature imaginable.

Takes me back to my Xtree days - ah, good times.

I had 1500 files on my entire 20mb hard drive back then.

ps. Ha ha: Don - you funny.

'tree > file.txt' .... cant be beat.

'Jon Schneider' on Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:19:08 GMT, sez:

Tree even supports long filenames (not just 8.3)!

Ah - i remember my original problem now... what caused me to find 'tree'...

I'm using Vista64 at work and it doesn't seem to have the 'debug.exe' file i tend to lean on as a defacto hex dump utility.

Anyone know the equivalent in Vista64?

It's not even in the syswow64 folder.

Tree is an Unix command for me. I didn't know it even exists on DOS until today.There are two entries in Wikipedia, but no date : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(disambiguation)

Wonderfull command anyway.

Hey, no fair making fun of DOS. It was the only thing we had, man. And it was darn hard to keep track of all those folders on the huge 10 MB disks that came with the IBM-XT.

when nc fell out of style, I switched to Total Commander and felt right at home.

'Denis' on Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:23:47 GMT, sez:

can i use my XP based computer and a batch file to document over 1k worth of files?
im using 'tree > file.csv' and its stopping at 136 lines... Thanks!

PS same result with *.txt

'lb' on Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:56:35 GMT, sez:

@Denis
I've got no idea what's going wrong there.
I just tested and created a tree file that covered every file on an external hard drive, no issues.

Maybe ask at stackoverflow.com?

'Denis' on Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:04:53 GMT, sez:

Ah, i've figured it out, Thanks for the response, the guy running the batch file was closing it right after it opened.
