 To tidy, sort, prune and dedup a JP Software 
Take Command/TCC/4NT/4DOS hidden descript.ion file. These files are used by 
the DESCRIBE utility to track what your various files 
are for. 
 
First make the directory containing the usually-hidden descript.ion file 
current. e.g. 
 
C: 
cd \env 
 
Then invoke the java program with: 
 
java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\fourtidy\fourtidy.jar 
 
If you have Excelsior Jet, 
(mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html/) you can compile the 
jar and simplify that long-winded command to: 
 
fourtidy.exe 
 
To save typing, create a *.BAT file on the path containing the command. 
You might also want to hide/reveal the descript.ion file with: 
attrib +h descript.ion 
attrib -h descript.ion 
 
Fourtidy will sort, tidy, and prune duplicates in the 
descript.ion file. It will also create a non-hidden file 
called _O_V_E_R_V_I_E_W.txt with the information about all your files 
in the directory in aligned human readable form.
