Here's mine. It uses strictly bash; no perl at all. The setup... |
17 |
- following files sit in the ~/.docpointer/ directory |
18 |
- docpointer (executable script) |
19 |
- docpointer.css |
20 |
- header |
21 |
- footer |
22 |
|
23 |
- from a console execute... |
24 |
~/.docpointer/docpointer n |
25 |
where "n" is an integer specifying the number of columns across you |
26 |
want in the output. You *MUST* specify a number. I use between 1 |
27 |
and 3, depending on my mood. It only takes a couple of seconds on |
28 |
an old 450 mhz PIII |
29 |
|
30 |
- I point browser to file:///home/waltdnes/.docpointer/docpointer.html |
31 |
and get a list of html docs. The pathname will obviously be |
32 |
different om your system |
33 |
|
34 |
The files are attached... |

Q. Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of Microsoft security? |
