If all you want is a list of files and directories in a directory… veach /a+ /d *.* /l >out.txt
VEACH is part of V8Power Tools that comes with FreeDOS. However, there have been important updates to V8Power Tools since the 1.3-RC4 release. I recommend updating the version you have to the latest one available at https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/v8power.html <https://fd.lod.bz/repos/current/pkg-html/v8power.html> or just waiting for FreeDOS 1.3-RC5 to be released very soon. Since a list of files is not very useful by itself, you can have veach perform commands on them. For example, if you want just executable files (and no directories) and to perform some kind of action, you could use: veach /a- /d *.com /d *.exe /d *.bat /s /x SOMETHIN.BAT * That would provide a sorted list of COM, EXE and BAT files and run SOMETHIN.BAT with each one. Kinda like SOMETHIN.BAT PROG1.EXE SOMETHIN.BAT PROG2.COM SOMETHIN.BAT PROG3.BAT SOMETHIN.BAT PROG3.EXE etc. Or... You can use an alternate directory listing program. Like my ancient D.EXE ( https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/blob/master/bin/D.EXE <https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7/blob/master/bin/D.EXE> ). It has several view options including meant for output to file. :-) Jerome
