NAME
       wcd - Wherever Change Directory
       chdir for DOS and Unix

       wcd [drive:][dir] [-A <path>] [-a[a]] [-b] [-c] [-d <drive>]
       [-E <path>] [-e[e]] [-f <treefile>] [-G <path>] [-GN] [-g[a|d]]

DESCRIPTION
       Wcd.  Directory changer for DOS and Unix.  Another Norton Change Direc-
       tory (NCD) clone with more features.

       Wcd is a program to change directory fast. It saves time typing at  the
       keyboard.  One  needs  to  type only a part of a directory name and wcd
       will jump to it. Wcd has a fast selection method in  case  of  multiple
       matches and  allows  aliasing  and  banning  of    directories. Wcd also
       includes a full-screen interactive directory browser with speed search.

       By default (if no wildcards are used) wcd searches for a directory with
       a name that begins with the typed name.

       For instance:

     wcd Desk

       will change to directory /home/waterlan/Desktop
       When there are multiple matches, wcd will present the user  a  list  of
       all  matches.  The user can then make a selection with a few keystrokes
       (most of the times only one).

       Wcd fully supports wildcards, i.e. *, ? and [SET].

       `*' matches any sequence of characters (zero or more)
       `?' matches any character
       [SET] matches any character in the specified set,
       [!SET] or [^SET] matches any character not in the specified set.

       A set is composed of characters or ranges; a range looks like ``charac-
       ter hyphen character'' (as in 0-9 or A-Z).  [0-9a-zA-Z_] is the minimal
       set of characters allowed in the [..] pattern construct.    Other charac-
       ters  are  allowed  (i.e. 8 bit characters) if your system will support
       them.  To  suppress  the   special  syntactic  significance  of  any  of
       ``[]*?!^-\'',  in- side or outside a [..] construct and match the char-
       acter exactly, precede it with a ``\'' (backslash).


       Using wildcards makes powerful searching possible. For instance:

     wcd *top
       match any directory name that ends with "top".


     wcd *top*
       match any directory that has "top" in the name.

     wcd [a-c]*
       match any directory name that begins with "a", "b" or "c".

       It is also possible to give a part of a directory path. E.g.:

     wcd me/Desk

       wcd searches for directory that begins   with  "Desk"  and  which  path
       matches *me/Desk*

       It  is  allowed  to  type any kind of expression with slashes and wild-
       cards. E.g.:

     wcd src*/*1?/a*2

       If no wildcards are used and wcd finds a perfect match, wcd will ignore
       all  wild matches by default. This behaviour can be changed with the -w
       option.

       The interactive directory browser can be started by using option -g.

     wcd -g

       See option -g for more information.

       Wcd generates a treedata file were it searches the directory.  On  Unix
       systems wcd  does  add links to the treedata files while scanning the
       disk, but does not follow them. While following links wcd could end up
       scanning infinite loops, or scan very large portions of a network.

       Wcd can also change to directories that are not in the  treedata  file.
       E.g.:

     wcd ..

       If  wcd found  a  match but cannot change to the directory it tries to
       remove it from the default treedata file.  Not from the extra  treedata
       file.  See also option -k.

       Wcd  keeps  a  directory stack which is stored on disk. The stack has a
       default size of 10 and is cyclic. See options -z, -, + and =.


       Wcd supports 8 bit character sets (non-ASCII characters).

       In multi-user environments a very handy option -u can be used to change
       to directories of other users. See option -u.

       On DOS and Windows systems it does not matter if you use a slash (/) or
       a backslash (\) as directory-separator.

       It is possible on DOS and Windows systems to change drive and directory
       in one go by preceding the directory name with the drive name.

     wcd d:games

       The Windows versions (console, zsh, cygwin) support Windows SMB LAN UNC
       paths without drive letter such as \\servername\sharename. Wcd for win-
       dows console makes use of the 'pushd' command to   automatically map  a
       UNC  path  to  a  drive letter. In windows zsh and Cygwin UNC paths are
       fully supported. The current working directory can be a UNC path.

       Remark about 8 bit characters: Only the original equipment manufacturer
       (OEM)  code  page installed with Windows appears correctly in a command
       prompt window that uses Raster fonts. Other code pages appear correctly
       in  full-screen mode or command prompt windows that use TrueType fonts.


FILES
       wcd.exe
      The binary. Do not rename it to 'wcd' on Unix systems. In a Bourne-
      like or C shell the binary is always called by a function or alias,
      because the current working directory of a Bourne-like or  C    shell
      can   only  be  changed  by the builtin cd command. See also section
      INSTALLATION.


       default treedata file
      DOS: \treedata.wcd or %HOME%\treedata.wcd
      UNIX: $HOME/.treedata.wcd

      This is the default treedata file where wcd searches   for  matches.
      If it is not readable wcd will create a new one.


       extra treedata file
      DOS: \extra.wcd or %HOME%\extra.wcd
      UNIX: $HOME/.extra.wcd

      An  optional    extra treedata file. If it exists and is readable wcd
      will try to find matches in this file also.


       ban file
      DOS: \ban.wcd or %HOME%\ban.wcd
      UNIX: $HOME/.ban.wcd

      In this optional file wcd  places  banned  paths.  See  option  -b.
      Wildcards are supported.


       alias file
      DOS: \alias.wcd or %HOME%\alias.wcd
      UNIX: $HOME/.alias.wcd

      Optional file with wcd aliases. See option -l.


       stack file
      DOS: c:\stack.wcd or %HOME%\stack.wcd
      UNIX: $HOME/.stack.wcd

      In this file wcd stores it's stack. The drive-letter can be changed
      with the -d option.


       go-script
      DOS BASH: c:\wcd.go or %HOME%\wcd.go
      WIN32 CONSOLE: c:\wcdgo.bat or %HOME%\wcdgo.bat
      WIN32 ZSH: %HOME%\wcd.go
      UNIX: $HOME/bin/wcd.go

      This is the shell script which wcd.exe creates each   time. It  is
      sourced via a function or an alias. The drive-letter can be changed
      with the -d option.  For history reasons it is placed by default in
      ~/bin  on  Unix systems.  The directory of this file can be changed
      with the option -G.


       relative treedata file
      DOS: <path>\rtdata.wcd
      UNIX: <path>/.rtdata.wcd

      Text file with relative paths from <path>. See options +S,  -n  and
      +n.


       The  win32 console version of wcd behaves as the DOS version.  The Cyg-
       win version of wcd behaves as the UNIX version.


       All .wcd files are ASCII text files. They can be edited with  a   text-
       editor.


       If the environment variable WCDHOME is set wcd will use WCDHOME instead
       of HOME.


OPTIONS
       -A <path>
         Add directory tree from <path> to default treedata.

         The directory tree starting  from    <path>   is  appended  to  the
         default treedata file.

        Example: wcd -A .

         With  the Windows console version one can scan all shared direc-
         tories of a Windows LAN server by typing something like: wcd  -A
         \\servername.


       -a     Add current path to default treedata file.

         Use  this    option to quickly add the current path to the default
         treedata file. Re-scanning the complete disk  can   take  a  long
         time in some cases.

       -aa    Add current and all parent paths to default treedata.

       -b     Ban current path.

         Wcd places the current path in the ban file. This means that wcd
         ignores all matches of this directory and its sub directories.

         The ban file can be edited with a text editor. Use of  wildcards
         are supported and it is matched against absolute path.

         Banned  paths  are  not  excluded from scanning the disk.    To do
         that use option -xf.

       -c     direct CD mode

         By default wcd works as follows:
          1. Try to find a match in the treedata file(s)
          2. If no match, try to open the directory you typed.

          In direct CD mode wcd works in reversed order.
          1. Try to open the directory you typed.
          2. If not, try to find a match in the treedata file(s).

       -d <drive>
         Set drive for stack and go file (DOS only).

         The stack file and the go-script are by default stored on    drive
         c:  if  environment variable HOME is not set. Use this option if
         drive C: is a read-only drive.  This  option  must  be  used  in
         front of the stack options -, + and =.

       -E <path>
         Add directory tree from <path> to Extra treedata file.

         The directory tree starting from <path> is appended to the Extra
         treedata file

       -e     Add current path to extra treedata file.

         Use this option to quickly add the current  path   to  the   extra
         treedata file.

       -ee    Add current and all parent paths to extra treedata file.

       -f <filename>
         Add another treedata file to be scanned, do not include your
         own treedata file.

       +f <filename>
         Add another treedata file to be scanned, include your own tree-
         data file.

       -G <path>
         Set directory path of go-script.


       -GN    Don't create go-script.

         This option can be used in combination with the option -j if one
         doesn't want wcd to create a go-script.


       -g     Graphical interface (only in version with curses interface).

         Wcd  starts  a  textual curses based `graphical' interface.  The
         user can select a directory via a full-screen interactive direc-
         tory  browser. It has a Vi(m) like navigation and search method.

         If no search string is given wcd presents the whole  tree    which
         is in the default treedata file and the extra treedata files.

         If  a  search  string  is given the match list is presented as a
         graphical tree.


       -ga    Graphical interface with alternative  way   of  navigating.  With
         this option one can't jump to unrelated directories.


       -gd    Dump the treedata files as a tree to stdout.


       -i     Ignore  case.   Dos  and Windows versions of wcd ignore case by
         default. Unix versions regard case by default.


       +i     Regard case.  See also option -i.


       -j     just go mode

         In this mode wcd will not present a list when there is more than
         directory    that  matches the  given  directory.   Wcd will just
         change to the first option. When wcd is invoked again  with  the
         same arguments it will change to the next option, and so on.

         Wcd will print the directory to go to to stdout.   So a different
         installation method can be used. One could make the  following
         function for bash or ksh:

         function wcd()
         {
      cd "`$HOME/bin/wcd.exe -j $*`"
         }

         On  windows systems, if one is running 4NT shell, one could make
         the following alias:

         alias wcd `cd %@execstr[wcdwin32.exe -z 0 -j %1]`

         This method eliminates the need of the go-script, so one can use
         option -GN in combination with -j.


       -k     Keep paths.

         Keep  paths  in  treedata   when  wcd cannot change to them.  The
         default behaviour of wcd is that it tries to remove  paths  from
         the  treedata  when wcd cannot change to them.  With this option
         this behaviour is turned off.

       -l     aLias current path.

         Wcd places the current path and the alias  in  the  alias    file.
         Aliases are case sensitive.

       -M <dir>
         Make directory and add to extra treedata file.


       -m <dir>
         Make directory and add to treedata file.


       -N     Use numbers instead of letters.

         Wcd  with    a conio or curses based interface (see section INTER-
         FACE) presents a match list default numbered with letters.  When
         the  -N  option is used the match list is numbered with numbers.
         Regardless of the -N option one can type a letter or numbers  to
         make a selection from the list of matches.


       -n <path>
         Add  relative  treedata  file  (Unix:  <path>/.rtdata.wcd,  DOS:
         <path>\rtdata.wcd), do not scan the default  treedata  file.  If
         <path>   is   a   file, wcd   will   add   <path>  instead  of
         <path>/.rtdata.wcd or <path>\rtdata.wcd.  See also option +S.

         Example:
         suppose another system has  been NFS  mounted  to  mount  point
         /mnt/network


          wcd -n /mnt/network src

         Wcd  now opens  file /mnt/network/.rtdata.wcd The file contains
         the paths relative from that point.

         The relative treedata file  should  already  have   been  created
         using the wcd +S option.


       +n <path>
         Add another relative treedata file. See option -n.


       -o     Use stdin/stdout interface.

         When  for    some  kind of reason the conio or curses interface of
         wcd doesn't work one can fall back to the stdin/stdout interface
         of wcd by using the -o option.


       -od    Dump all matches to stdout.


       -Q     Quieter operation.

         Printing of the final match is suppressed.

       -r <dir>
         Remove directory and remove from treedata file.

         If the directory is empty, wcd will remove it, and try to remove
         it from the treedata file.


       -rmtree <dir>
         Recursively remove directory and remove from treedata file.

         Wcd will remove the directory and all it's sub  directories  and
         files, and remove the directories from the treedata file.


       -S <path>
         Scan disk from a certain path.

         If  you  have a small Unix system like a PC with a few users you
         can for instance scan the disk from /.  With the Windows console
         version  one  can  scan  all shared directories of a Windows LAN
         server by typing something like: wcd -S \\servername.

         The existing default treedata file is overwritten.


       +S <path>
         Scan disk from a certain path. Make relative treedata file.

         Scan disk from path <path> and place relative paths in  a    rela-
         tive  treedata file.  This file is used by the -n and +n options
         of wcd. E.g.  wcd -n <path> src

       -s     (re)Scan disk from your $HOME directory.

         This is recommended if you are on a large  Unix  server  network
         with  very  much users.  This is the default scanning mode.  Wcd
         for DOS scans the current disk from root \  or  from  %HOME%  if
         HOME is set.  The existing default treedata file is overwritten.


       -t     Do not strip tmp mount dir /tmp_mnt (Unix only)

         Wcd strips  by  default  /tmp_mnt/  from  the  match.  Directory
         /tmp_mnt is  used  by  the  automounter.   This behaviour can be
         turned off with the -t option.


       -u <username>
         Add default treedata file of other user, do not include your own
         default treedata file.

         Wcd now scans the treedata file of another user On Unix the base
         directory for user home directores is assumed to be /home    ,  so
         wcd  tries  to scan /home/<username>/.treedata.wcd.  On DOS/Win-
         dows the base directory for user home directores is  assumed  to
         be  \\users  ,  so  wcd  tries  to scan \\users\<username>\tree-
         data.wcd.

         One can define a different base directory with environment vari-
         able WCDUSERSHOME.  See section ENVIRONMENT.


       +u <username>
         Add treedata file of other user, include your own treedata file.


       -V     verbose operation.

         With this option wcd prints all filters, bans and excludes.

       -v     Print version info.



       -w     Wild matching only.

         Treat all matches as wild matches.

       -x <path>
         Exclude <path> from scanning.

         When  this  option  is  used wcd will exclude <path> and all its
         subdirectories when wcd is scanning a disk. Wildcards  are  sup-
         ported and matched against absolute paths. Option -x can be used
         multiple times.

      wcd -x <path1> -x <path2> -s

         Option -x must be used in front of any scan option (-s, -S,  +S,
         -A, -E).

         On DOS/Windows systems one must specify the drive letter depend-
         ing on if enviroment variable HOME or WCDHOME is set.   If  HOME
         or  WCDHOME  is set one needs to specify the drive letter. Exam-
         ple:

      wcd -x c:/temp -S c:

         Otherwise don't specify drive letter.

      wcd -x /temp -s


       -xf <file>
         Exclude all paths listed in <file> from scanning.

         When this option is used wcd will exclude all  paths  listed  in
         <file> and all their subdirectories when wcd is scanning a disk.
         Wildcards are supported and they are  matched  against  absolute
         paths;  one  path  per  line.  Be aware that wcd will not ignore
         leading or trailing blanks on a line,  because  they  are    legal
         characters in a directory name.  Option -xf can be used multiple
         times. When one wants to exlude all banned paths   from  scanning
         one can do the following (example for wcd on unix):

      wcd -xf ~/.ban.wcd -s

         Wildcards    are  supported.  For instance to exclude all your CVS
         directories with cvs administrative files add a line with:
         */CVS

         Option -xf must be used in front of any scan option (-s, -S, +S,
         -A, -E).

       -z #   Set maximum stack size.

         The  default  size  of  the  stack is 10. Stack operation can be
         turned off by setting the size to 0.  This option must  be  used
         in  front of any other stack option (-,+,=).  Otherwise the size
         of the stack will be set back to the default 10. A correct  com-
         mand is:

      wcd -z 50 -

         The  new stack size will be 50, wcd will go one directory back.
         A wrong command is:

      wcd - -z 50

         Wcd goes one directory back, the stack gets the default size 10.
         '-z 50' is ignored.

         Add  this    option as the first option to your wcd alias or func-
         tion.  E.g. for the bash this would be:

         function wcd
         {
       wcd.exe -z 50 $*
       . $HOME/bin/wcd.go
         }


       -[#]   Push dir [ # times ].

         Go back a directory. 'wcd -' goes one directory back. To go more
         directories  back  add  a number to it. E.g. wcd -3 The stack is
         cyclic.

       +[#]   Pop dir [ # times ].

         Go forward a directory. 'wcd +' goes one directory  forward.  To
         go  more directories forward add a number to it. E.g. wcd +2 The
         stack is cyclic.

       =      Show stack.

         Use this option if don't know anymore how many times to push  or
         pop.  The stack is printed and you can choose a number. The cur-
         rent place in the stack is marked with an asterisk '*'.


INTERFACE
       Wcd has three different interfaces to choose from a  list  of  matches.
       The interface can be chosen at compile time.

       The  first  interface  uses  plain  stdin/stdout.   A  numbered list is
       printed in the terminal. The user has to choose from the list by typing
       a  number  followed by <Enter>. This interface does not provide scroll
       back functionality in case of a long list.  The scroll back  capability
       of the terminal/console has to be used.  It is very small and portable.

       The second interface is built with the conio  library.  It  provides  a
       builtin scroll back capability.  The user is presented a list numbered
       with letters.  Choosing from a list can be done by  pressing  just  one
       letter. This interface is fast because it saves keystrokes.  If possi-
       ble the screen will be restored after exiting.  One who prefers to type
       numbers can  use  the -N option.  This interface is meant for DOS sys-
       tems.

       The third interface is built with the curses library. It is similar  to
       the  conio  interface  with  additional sideways scrolling.  The curses
       version of wcd has also an additional `graphical' interface.   It  lets
       the  user  select  a  directory via a full-screen interactive directory
       browser. It has a Vi(m) like navigation and search method.  It  can  be
       activated  with  option -g.  This interface is portable to DOS, Windows
       and Unix.

       By using the -o option one can always fall  back   to  the  stdin/stdout
       interface.



ENVIRONMENT
       HOME and WCDHOME
      Wcd   uses environment variable HOME to determine where to store its
      files. See also section FILES.  Environment variable WCDHOME    over-
      rides  HOME. If both HOME and WCDHOME are set, WCDHOME will be used
      instead of HOME.

      For the Unix and Cygwin version it is required that HOME or WCDHOME
      is set. For the other versions of wcd the use of these variables is
      optional.


       TERMINFO
      If  the  environment variable TERMINFO is defined, wcd with ncurses
      interface checks for a local terminal definition before checking in
      the standard place. This is useful if terminal definitions are  not
      on  a  standard place. Often used standard places are /usr/lib/ter-
      minfo and /usr/share/terminfo.

       PDC_RESTORE_SCREEN
      Wcd with PDCurses interface   recognizes  the    environment  variable
      PDC_RESTORE_SCREEN.   If this environment variable is set, PDCurses
      will take a copy of the contents of the screen at the time that wcd
      is  started;    when  wcd exits, the screen will be restored. One can
      set this variable e.g. in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Example:

         set PDC_RESTORE_SCREEN=1

      For Cygwin this would be 'export PDC_RESTORE_SCREEN=1'.


       SHELL
      Printing of #!$SHELL on the first line of the go-script for Bourne-
      like   or C shell is needed for 8 bit characters. Some shells other-
      wise think that the go-script is a binary file and will not source
      it.   In  Cygwin bash one may need to define $SHELL with an 'export'
      command, otherwise wcd can't read the variable.


       BASH
      Wcd for DOS bash uses $BASH instead of $SHELL, because $SHELL point
      to  the  DOS    command  shell.  One may need to define $BASH with an
      'export' command, otherwise wcd can't read the variable.


       WCDFILTER
      Specify filters with environment variable WCDFILTER.   All  directo-
      ries   that  don't  match  the filter(s) are ignored.  A list can be
      specified by separating filters with colons (:) on Unix/Cygwin  and
      semicolons  (;)  on  DOS/Windows systems (Similar as specifying the
      PATH variable). Filters are case sensitive on Unix and case insen-
      sitive on DOS/Windows.

      Example Unix: export WCDFILTER=projects:doc

      Example DOS/Windows: set WCDFILTER=projects;doc


       WCDBAN
      The   paths specified with environment WCDBAN will be banned by wcd.
      See also option -b. Specify a list of paths separated by colons  on
      Unix/Cygwin and semicolons on DOS/Windows.


       WCDEXCLUDE
      The paths specified with environment WCDEXCLUDE will be excluded by
      wcd. See also options -x and -xf. Specify a list of paths separated
      by colons on Unix/Cygwin and semicolons on DOS/Windows.

      Example Unix: export WCDEXCLUDE=/dev:/tmp:*CVS

      Example DOS/Windows: set WCDEXCLUDE=*/windows;*/temp;*CVS


       WCDUSERSHOME
      With   this  variable one can set the base directory where the users
      home directories are.  If this variable is not set wcd will assume
      /home  on  Unix, and \\users on DOS/Windows.  This variable is used
      to scan treedata files of other users. See also options -u an +u.


       In  verbose  mode  wcd  will  print all filters, bans and excludes. See
       option -V.

- dos 16 bit version:

 Make sure that wcd.exe is in your path.

......................................................................
- dos 32 bit version:

 Make sure that wcd.exe and cwsdpmi.exe are in your path.
 (requires 80386 CPU or higher)

......................................................................
- dos Bourne Again Shell (bash):

(32 bit)

1)

 copy wcd.exe to your c:/bin directory.

2)

 Add the following function to your ~/_bashrc
 file. Notice that under Windows 95/NT the ~/.bashrc
 file overrides the ~/_bashrc file. In that case place
 the function in ~/.bashrc

function wcd
{
   c:/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . c:/wcd.go
}

Start a new bash

Attention!
wcd 2.1 and later writes the wcd.go file now always on drive C: unless
other specified with the -d option.

If you use environment variable HOME make a function like this:

function wcd
{
   c:/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . $HOME/wcd.go
}

......................................................................
- Z shell (zsh)

The dos bash version of wcd can also be used for the win32 port of zsh if it is used  under
Windows  95 or 98. Note that you need the windows zsh version to get UNC path support.
It is required that environment variable HOME or WCDHOME is set. A function
like the following must be defined.  This can be done in $HOME/.zshenv


function wcd
{
   c:/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . $HOME/wcd.go
}
......................................................................
- Long directory name support

The 32 bit DOS versions for DOS supports long directory names
in a Windows 95/98 Dos-box.

Wcd makes use of DJGPP's LFN (long filename) API, which works under
Windows 95 and 98. LFN support does not work if you started your PC
in MS-DOS mode.

LFN support can be controlled with the environment variable LFN.

set LFN=y  enables LFN support.
set LFN=n  disables LFN support.

If variable LFN is not set, LFN is by default enabled.

Notice that you need to have set LFN=y in your DJGPP.ENV file
if you have the DJGPP compiler installed.

...

Current DOS version of Wcd does not support LFN under Windows NT.

An alpha version of an LFN driver for NT which enables long file name
support for DJGPP programs, written by Andrew Crabtree, can be downloaded
from Andrew's site (http://www.goof.com/pcg/data/djgpp/lfn0106.zip).

If you need LFN support under Windows NT use the win32 console
version of wcd.

......................................................................
- Using default options

If you want to use some options by default use an alias or macro to do that.
Smarter shells like 4DOS and NDOS are able to set aliases like this:
alias wcd=wcd.exe -Q

In DOS BASH add the options in your function.

In the MS-DOS COMMAND.COM shell you can use the 'doskey' command to define
a macro. You could add the following line to you AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
doskey wcd=wcd.exe -Q $*

......................................................................
- Use of environment variable HOME / WCDHOME

The DOS versions of wcd can make use of environment variable HOME.
(UNIX version always uses HOME.)

set HOME=c:/home/waterlan

If HOME is set, wcd will place all it's files (treedata.wcd, extra.wcd,
alias.wcd, ban.wcd, wcd.go) in directory %HOME% .
The behaviour of wcd is then equal to the UNIX version of wcd.
Wcd will scan the disk default from %HOME%. Drives will not
be automaticly scanned by changing to them.
You need to tell wcd explicitly. E.g.:

wcd -S c: -A d: -A e:

Matching of directories is now global over all scanned drives.

...

If HOME is set, DJGPP bash will read '_bashrc' from %HOME%.
Your wcd function could now look like:

function wcd
{
   c:/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . $HOME/wcd.go
}

If the environment variable WCDHOME is set wcd will use
WCDHOME instead of HOME.

......................................................................

Adding extra directories:

You can add an extra directory-list in the file \extra.wcd or %HOME%\extra.wcd

Example:

d:/games
d:/games/invaders
e:/project_a

See also options -e and -E

======================================================================
- Win32 console

Notice that under Windows NT console (MS-DOS prompt) a win32-program cannot
change the current work directory (although a DOS-program can on NT4).
That is why wcd generates a batch script (c:\wcdgo.bat or %HOME%\wcdgo.bat)
which must be executed in the current shell.

1)
Copy wcd.bat and wcdwin32.exe somewhere in PATH.


2)
Edit wcd.bat depending if you use environment variable HOME or not.

Suppose you installed wcd in c:\bin

If you don't use environment variable HOME wcd.bat looks like:

 @echo off
 c:\bin\wcdwin32.exe %*
 c:\wcdgo.bat

If you do use environment variable HOME wcd.bat looks like:

 @echo off
 c:\bin\wcdwin32.exe %*
 %HOME%\wcdgo.bat

3)
To be sure that you execute the correct 'wcd.bat' you could
optionally create a macro for wcd:

 doskey wcd=c:\bin\wcd.bat $*


Notice that environment variable WCDHOME overrides HOME.

......................................................................
- Z shell (zsh)

A win32 port of zsh has been made by Amol Deshpande (ftp://ftp.blarg.net/users/amol/zsh).

It  is  required that environment variable HOME or WCDHOME is set.  A function must be defined
(e.g. in $HOME/.zshenv) like this:


function wcd
{
   c:/bin/wcdwin32.exe $*
   . $HOME/wcd.go
}

......................................................................

- UNC support

UNC stands for Universal Naming Convention.
It is a Windows 9x/NT way of accessing network drives without
using a drive letter.
It's from Windows SMB LAN manager networking.
A UNC path looks like: \\servername\sharename

In Windows networking, you can map a drive letter to a UNC:
  net use G: \\gui_fileserv\apps

The win32 console version of wcd supports UNC paths since version 3.1.0. 
To change to the UNC path wcd makes use of the 'pushd' command in the
wcdgo.bat script. 

Quote from John Savill's Windows NT/2000 FAQ (http://www.windows2000faq.com):

``The 'pushd' command automatically maps a drive and navigates to it. If you
run the 'net use' command after you run pushd, you'll see a new drive mapping.
After you're done working in the UNC location, use the 'popd' command to
navigate back to your original network location before you ran 'pushd'.''

Options -S, -A and -E can also work on servernames. For instance:

  wcd -S \\servername

will search for shared directories on the server and scan them all.



The Win32 zsh version of wcd has full support of UNC paths. In zsh one
can change directly to UNC paths, without mapping to a drive letter.

= 4 Cygwin (Windows 9x / NT) installation                            =
======================================================================

1)
Make sure that environment variable HOME is set.
Create a directory $HOME/bin

2)

 copy wcd.exe to your $HOME/bin directory.

3)

 Add the following function to your ~/.bashrc file.

function wcd
{
   $HOME/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . $HOME/bin/wcd.go
}

Start a new bash

......................................................................

The Cygwin version behaves exactly as the Unix version of wcd.

o) regards case by default.
   - Use option -i to ignore case.
o) does not use drive letters.
o) Uses the same filenames for treedata files etc.

UNC paths are fully supported.

======================================================================

Note that the current working directory of a Bourne-like or C shell can only be
changed by the builtin cd command. Therefore the binary is always called by a
function or alias. The function or alias sources a shell script (go-script)
which is generated by the binary wcd.exe. Wcd can only work after the function
or alias is defined.

The following examples show the installation on a system where you don't have
root privileges. Read the manpage of the shell you are using on how to define a
function or an alias.

If the environment variable WCDHOME is set wcd will use
WCDHOME instead of HOME.

......................................................................

Bourne-like shells:

Korn Shell (ksh, pdksh), Bourne Again Shell (bash), Z shell (zsh),
ash, ... :

1)

 copy wcd.exe to your $HOME/bin directory.

2)

 Add the following function to a startup file of your shell,
 e.g. in $HOME/.kshrc (ksh), $HOME/.bashrc (bash) or in
 $HOME/.zshenv (zsh).


function wcd
{
   $HOME/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . $HOME/bin/wcd.go
}

Start a new shell

......................................................................

C Shell (csh):

1)

 copy wcd.exe to your $HOME/bin directory.

2)

 Add the following alias to your $HOME/.cshrc
 file.

alias wcd "$HOME/bin/wcd.exe \!* ; source $HOME/bin/wcd.go"

Start a new C Shell

......................................................................

The executable can be shared among all users. The wcd.go file
is personal:

function wcd
{
   /usr/local/bin/wcd.exe $*
   . $HOME/bin/wcd.go
}

......................................................................

The first time wcd is used the program will scan your
disk and build a .treedata.wcd file in your HOME-directory.
The .treedata.wcd file can be updated by feeding the -s option.

wcd.exe will generate each time a script wcd.go in your
$HOME/bin directory which must be executed via the function.

......................................................................

Adding extra directories not on your own account:

You can add an extra directory-list in the file $HOME/.extra.wcd


Example:

/home/piet/vhdl
/home/piet/project_a/c/src
/home/jan/perl

See also options -e and -E

......................................................................

It is possible to turn off the automatic pathname expansion
of the unix shell.

In the C shell (csh) you can use 'set noglob' to turn it off, and
'unset noglob' to turn it on again. One could make the following
wcd alias:

alias wcd "set noglob; $HOME/bin/wcd.exe \!* ; unset noglob; source $HOME/bin/wcd.go"

In the Korn Shell and the Bash the pathname expansion can be turned off and
on with 'set -o noglob' and 'set +o noglob' (or 'set -f' and 'set +f').
But the function

function wcd
{
 set -o noglob
 /home/waterlan/bin/wcd.exe $*
 set +o noglob
 . $HOME/bin/wcd.go
}

does not have the desired effect. Can somebody help?

1. Unix and DOS 32 bit version:
   - Strange behaviour when the argument has a wildcard and matches a
     file or directory in the current directory.

  This is the result of the pathname expansion of the shell.
  The work-around is to "double quote" the argument (in some shells).

======================================================================

The 16 bit DOS version has been compiled with Borland C/C++ 4.02, but will
also compile with Borland 3.

The 32 bit dos versions are compiled with DJGPP and do not use DOSDIR. DJGPP is
a mix of DOS/Unix (both 'MSDOS' and 'unix' are defined).  DOSDIR's
dd_findfirst/dd_findnext implementation for Unix is build with opendir/readdir.
Using DJGPP's implementation of opendir/readdir to scan a disk is about a
factor 100 slower than using findfirst/findnext (with DJGPP 2.01, gcc 2.7.2).
Also using DOSDIR's dd_findfirst/dd_findnext for DOS is very slow when it is
compiled with DJGPP.  It is about a factor 35 slower than using DJGPP's
findfirst/findnext.  Probably due to a slow stat() function in dd_initstruct().
Using DOSDIR in combination with DJGPP would make scanning the disk very slow.

The win32 console version is by default compiled with MinGW.  Win32 versions
can also be compiled with Borland, Cygwin and LCC. Although Borland 4 can
compile wcd with conio interface for windows console, it doesn't work well. The
screen gets garbled after exit.

Wcd for Unix compiles with gcc and with the native system C compilers such as
HP-UX cc or SunOS cc.

Wcd can optionally have a curse-based interface.  Wcd compiles with curses,
ncurses and pdcurses. Ncurses is preferred, because of portability and it
restores the screen automatically after exit (if possible) and has better
support for resizing of the terminal.

The ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses in
System V Release 4.0, and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads and
color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping,
and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD curses.
The ncurses distribution is available via anonymous FTP at the GNU distribution
site ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses. It is also available at
ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses. 

PDCurses is a port of System VR4 curses for multiple platforms.  PDCurses has
been ported to DOS, OS/2, X11, WIN32 and Flexos. A directory containing the
port-specific source files exists for each of these platforms.

For the DOS-16-bit and the Unix version I use DOSDIR. Only the parts
of DOSDIR that are distributed under GNU General Public License are
used in WCD.

DOSDIR: A Portable DOS/UNIX/VMS Directory Interface

DOSDIR minimizes the OS-specific directory access code for applications
allowing programmers to concentrate on the application itself and not
on the low-level directory and file structure.  DOSDIR applications
will run on their native operating systems with the appropriate file
syntax and handling, which is expected for that platform.
