DOS to the rescue | |
|

| Time: 10:08 EST/15:08 GMT | News Source: TechRepublic | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Being able to print a listing of a directory's contents is handy, especially when preparing technical documentation. Leave it to good ol' DOS and the DIR command to save the day. As a technical writer and consultant, I am constantly working with system documentation. One frequently requested element is a catalog of documents or other electronic files stored in various network directories. | ||

| I'm surprised the writer chose command.com instead of cmd.exe. |

| Perhaps it's because Win9x only has command.com? |

Don't know much about reiser other than it's a journaling filesystem.
Longhorn/SQL Server's new filesystem is database driven so you can run reports and such on it. It's logged and journaled just like a regular database. The point is to access related information quickly rather than having files scattered disperately all over the drive. Various documents that contain key words will be linked and "related" so that when you search for a specific word or project, all files related to that word or project will appear. Pretty cool. |

#16 - nomdlev - You do realize that their implementation is simply a new layer on top of HFS, right? In fact, it isn't really a journaling file system, but instead a journaling application which uses the standard hive file system that MacOS has always used.
Microsoft's journaling file system will be a "real one" in the sense it will be totally native, and will fundementally change the way data is stored on the drive. MacOS's doesn't, and will never do that. In addition, from the reports I've seen, it will have a dramatic affect on an already slow OS... killing performance by upwards of 15% to 20%. When your product is already substantially more expensive and substantially slower that the competition, do you really want to make it 20% slower? While the Microsoft version will undoubtedly be slower than NTFS, I'm fairly confident it won't be as massive a hit as 20%. So much for your "technically magnificent" file system. By the way, what exactly do you mean? It is doing nothing new, isn't native, and is slow. Why is it "magnificent"? |

dupe - This quote in the readme says it all... "It is the storage layer of what will become a general purpose naming system". It's just the disk storage layer, they haven't come out with the relational naming system on top of it yet.

I've always used a utility from RjH Software (rjhExtensions 1.3) that has an option to save a directory list if you need it, among other items. It's FREEWARE and has some pretty neat options.
