SUBDIR version 2.0 12/13/88 (C) Copyright Karl Wagner
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
PROGRAM INFORMATION:
SUBDIR is designed to let you change quickly from one directory on
your hard disk to another. Just a single keystroke lets you select
a directory and move to it in a flash.
SUBDIR requires an IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible computer with a hard
disk. It uses very little memory.
INSTALLATION:
Copy the file S.COM onto your hard disk. For maximum utility, copy
the program into a directory named in the PATH statement in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This will allow you to run SUBDIR from any
prompt on your system. For more information about the PATH
statement, see your DOS manual.
RUNNING SUBDIR:
Start SUBDIR with the command: S
You will see a list of directories under your current directory.
Select the directory to which you want to move by typing in the
letter corresponding to that directory. If there are no
subdirectories within your current directory, type an A to step
back one directory. That will usually take you to the Root
Directory, and you'll be able to move instantly to any other
directory on the hard disk.
If there are more than 18 directories, press the Spacebar to see
additional directories. Prompts are always on the screen to help
you remember the simple commands.
After you move to a directory, its name will appear at the top of
the screen. You can press A again to return to the previous
directory, or press
That's all there is to using SUBDIR. I think you'll find that it's
one of the most useful programs you'll have on your hard disk.
SUBDIR was written entirely in the C Language for speed.
Please feel free to share this program with your friends but only
with its original file and NO MODIFICATIONS!.

Have fun!,

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
