WILD is a program for doing wild-card directory
searches. Basically, WILD differs from DIR in that the character ? is
interpreted as "match any character". Several switches have also
been implemented to provide greater searching ability.
WILD accepts commands of the following syntax; items in {} are
optional. ⊗ represents the Kleene star (0 or more repetitions).
<command> ::= {<output term>←}{<file term>}⊗
<output term> ::= <output device> | <file>
<file term> ::= <file>{<switch>}⊗
<output device> ::= LPT: | TTY: | (whatever the system will accept)
<file> ::= {<device>:}{<name>}{.<extension>}{[<project>{,<programmer>{ ]}}}
<switch> ::= /<vswitch name><delimiter><switch value> | /<mswitch name> |
/<pswtich name>↔<switch value>
In interpreting file names, the default <device> is "DSK", the
default <project> and <programmer> are your alias PPN, and the default
<name> and <extension> are "*". Downarrows ("↓") may be used as quoting
characters in file names. Thus, REF's message file is both ↓ REF↓.msg[2,2] and
↓ ↓REF.msg[2,2] (but not ↓ REF.MSG↓[2,2]!)(∂REF will also work; see page 4.)
For each <file term>, WILD does a directory/full for those files
that match that <file term>, under control of the <switch>'s. <ESCAPE I>
will often pleasantly abort output. The current switches are described
on the next page.
In checking for "file matching", the character "?" is presumed to
match any character. A "*" subsumes its usual (match any) interpretation.
It can also be thought adding "??????" to the current match string. Thus,
FOO* will match FOO, FOOB, FOOBA, and FOOBAZ. A null <file term> is
interpretted as *.*, except that typing a blank (or almost blank) line to
WILD is ignored.
SWITCHES.
The following switches have been implemented. The characters in
capitals are the portion of the switch actually looked at by WILD.
Thus, TYpe can be abbreviated to TY; WritTen can be abbreviated
(so to speak) to wxyztjfgkhdhjfhgg.
<MSWITCH NAMES> These switches require just the switch name.
QuiCk Output only the PPN's matching the request, not the names
of the individual files.
QC Same as QuiCk
Fast Output the file names in "short" form. In short form,
this file is "WILD.REF[UP,DOC]".
Quiet Don't ask me if I'm sure about anything.
Ask Go ahead, ask me all the time.
Type Type this file.
Octal Type this file in octal (dump mode).
DElete Delete this file.
Space Print the space required of these directories (quick+ a total).
EXact Print all file sizes in words (2048 rather than 2.0).
FOrmfeed Print a formfeed before the second and subsequent file names
in FAST mode. This is useful for taking a group of files
and copying them into another file, each to a separate page, with
the first line of the page containing the origin file's name.
FORMFEED implies both FAST and TYPE.
Etype Type, omitting E directory pages.
These switches can be "negated" by preceeding the switch name with a "-" or a "¬".
Thus, /-ex turns off "exact" mode.
<VSWITCH NAME> These switches are for matching the characteristics of the
file with other features of the directory. They take a <DELIMITER>,
which can be one of <,=,>,≤,≠,≥, with the obvious meanings. The vswitches
are:
Date When the file was written. Takes a <DATE>
WritTen Just like date. Takes a <DATE>
SIze How big is the file? Takes a <SIZE>.
TIme What time was the file written. Takes a <TIME>.
Protection The file's protection. Takes a <PRO>.
Referenced When the file was last referenced. Takes a <DATE>.
Dumped When the file was last dumped to DART. Takes a <DATE>.
Writer Who wrote the file. Up to six characters. ? and * have their
usual meaning.
Using What program wrote the file. Up to six characters. ? and *
have their usual meaning.
<PSWITCH> The specific form:
Protection↔<PRO>
will change the protection of all matching files to <PRO>
<DATE> ::= any sequence of <DAY> <MONTH> or <YEAR>, separated by "-" or " "|
YESTERDAY | TODAY
<DAY> ::= an integer between 1 and 31
<YEAR> ::= an integer greater than 64
<MONTH>::= JAN | FEB | MAR | APR ...
Only enough of the keywords in a DATE need to be typed
to make that construct unique. The day will default to the
first of the month, the month and year to the current month and
year. If you give it a day in the future, it program will
make a guess as to what you want.
<SIZE> ::= integer | real
A "real" size is interpretted as 1024 (1K) * that size in words.
<PRO> ::= three octal digits.
Special features:
As a special feature (this week only?), typing <ALTMODE> to
the top level of WILD (the # prompt) returns the last command
line you typed to your input buffer. Thus, you can type Y and N
to all the questions in various sections of the program, and
still retrieve your last input.
Certain yes/no questions can be answered "Q", which means "Yes, and yes
to all subsequent questions". Answering <number>Y or <number>N implies
that many Y's or N's are to be automatically loaded into your response
buffer (so to speak). Returning to command level, or typing <escape>I
resets the command buffer to empty.
Typing αβE (control-meta E) will result in exiting the from program.
(αE and βE also work).
The character ∂ will often work to get message files. Thus, "∂" will
get your own message file, "∂foo", foo's message file,
"∂???", everyone's message file, and "∂mum[1,baz]" the file " mum.msg[1,baz]".
A construction like "mumble.∂" will get whatever the program feels like giving you.
Unfortunatly ∂ and * cannot be profitably combined. This may get fixed.
Examples:
Since the previous is certainly very obtuse, perhaps a few examples
would be helpful. Stuff in horseshoes ⊂ ⊃ are comments.

FSCALE scales fonts. It asks for input and output font file names
(with the usual default extension/directory), then tells you the
height of the input font and asks for the desired height of the output
font. The default is no change, in which case FSCALE merely optimises
the format of the file to save any space it can. (E.g., it trims
empty columns off the right using character width and raster width to
get the same effect.) FSCALE also asks for a threshhold, which must
be between 0 and 1. The default is .5, and typically it should be
between .45 and .55.

00100 THE REAL DESCRIPTION IS IN BAIL.DOC[DOC,AIL]
PACK condenses text files using a variable-length bit encoding scheme to
create a binary file which is typically 25 to 50% smaller than the
original text. These savings are only slightly better than half those
achieved using the "crunch" and "spindle" programs, but on the other
hand PACK is somewhat easier to use. PACKed files are not compatible
with SPINDL. Another difference between PACK and CRUNCH (as of this
writing) is that PACK is capable of compressing non-text files.
