How to use AllFolders
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AllFolders sets specified extended attributes (EAs) of all directories (i.e. all WPFolder objects) in a directory tree, starting with the specified root directory.

For example, to make all folders on drive c: sort their content automatically, enter "allfolders c:\ ALWAYSSORT YES". 

Enter "allfolders /h" for further information.

Be aware that AllFolders is a quick hack and a text mode only program.

This script uses functions from the RexxUtil.dll library. That means you have to make these functions available to the Rexx interpreter prior to running AllFolders. For further information see below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is important!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AllFolders is freeware. You pay for nothing, and I don't guarantee anything!

Please distribute only the complete and unmodified AllFolders package. Otherwise. add your own readme file (call it, say, readme_2) that describes your modifications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The most recent version of AllFolders
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will upload the most recent version of AllFolders to Hobbes (http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/ or ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/) only.

I have no particular preferences for Hobbes, except that it's one of the better known OS/2 software servers in that part of the world where I presently happen to live.

You may also check http://homepages.together.net/~rolf for a link to a newer revision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RexxUtil
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AllFolders calls functions from the RexxUtil library. These functions are also used by many other Rexx scripts. So, instead of trying again and again to register these functions with the Rexx interpreter each time you run a script that needs them, you should load them when you start your system.

To do this, put the register-rexxutil-dll.cmd script (or a link to this script, or a program object that calls this script) into your startup folder.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get my PGP public key, send me an empty email with "send pgp key" in the subject line.

Feel free to send me any suggestions for improvements of AllFolders. Of course I'd also appreciate a short note, if you actually use this program. 

For you Germans out there: Ihr knnt mir auch in Deutsch schreiben :-)
