SWEEP TIP: LOGGING ON ............................................. Rick Ryall SWEEP, which is also sometimes called NSWEEP or NSWP (for New Sweep ), is a very popular and powerful utility program that nearly everyone uses. There are many available program features that are not explained in the menu or help files that I have seen, one of which is the log on procedure. Here are some tips on it. When you have already invoked the program, you may log onto another disk or user area by pressing the "L" key. The program responds with this prompt: New drive / user / mask? What this means, exactly, is that you may log onto a new disk drive, or log onto a new user area, or display only the files that match a given "mask". You may also do all of these things at once. Here are some examples to give you an idea of what this means, in the following format: the prompt, what you might have typed, and, on the line immediately below, an explanation of what the program would then do. New drive / user / mask? A Log onto the A drive in the current user area. New drive / user / mask? A3 Log onto the A drive in user area 3. New drive / user / mask? A* Log onto the A drive in ALL the user areas. New drive / user / mask? *.COM Display only files that are on the logged drive and end with ".COM". New drive / user / mask? B13:*.BAS Display only files that are on the B drive in user area 13 and end with ".BAS". New drive / user / mask? 13:G*.* Display only files that are on the logged drive in user area 13 and start with "G". New drive / user / mask? 4 Log onto the current drive in user area 4. Another interesting thing to note is that you can call most of these features up when you run the program. For instance (assuming the name of your version of the program is NSWEEP), you could execute the program and come up automatically on drive B, user area 9, and ready to view all files that end with ".TXT", by typing this at the CP/M prompt: NSWEEP B9:*.TXT That's all.
