Hiya!
I remember once I had an ULTRA HANDY dir-type program: DIR2 ...
You just typed dir2 and it would display only com/exe/bat files in a directory... anyone has something similar?
Thanks!

in modern versions of dos you can
dir/b/p *.bat *.com *.exe
So just make a dir2.bat file and set path variable to it in autoexec.bat
i use this dirr.bat file (btw dirr is faster to type than dir2 😉 )
@echo off
@dir/p *.bat
@pause
@dir/p *.com
@pause
@dir/p *.exe
since then I have customized NDIR to display only com/exe/bat ... still dir2 was better 🤣 it displayed them in different colors 😁 🤣 🤣
Maybe you'd like this variant.
keropi, you're tempting me to start playing back with batch programming and ANSI.SYS!!! And it is very addictive! 😀
Malik: I am still using Bat(ch) files when I use Dosbox for some of my games, cause it is way easier to make a bat file, when you have a friend who wants a pretty easy way to play his old SSI rpg games and so forth.
rcblanke i wonder why he arranged that in lines not columns, also dir/bw arranges in lines. Even windows has most views arranged in lines. Is it easier for anyone to read that in lines??

I think I will be using this D program of yours, I was always wanted the 4DOS colored directory listing, without 4DOS. Thanks!
P.S. Here a bunch of related utils:
