:FILER Overview

     FILER,  derived  from  DISK7 (a program by Frank Gaude')  by 
Richard  Conn,  was created to give the ZCPR2 user a  specialized 
file  manipulation  utility  which could take  advantage  of  the 
special features of ZCPR2.   It performs the same basic functions 
as  DISK7,  CLEANUP,  WASH,  and SWEEP,  but it takes  the  ZCPR2 
environ  into  account and adds commands and features which  make 
FILER more comfortable for the ZCPR2 user.   Quite similar to its 
father,  DISK7,  FILER contains essentially the same features but 
add features found uniquely in the ZCPR2 environment.

     FILER is invoked by the following command line:

		FILER [du] [w]

where "du" and "w" are optional parameters.   "DU" is the direct-
ory  to initially log the user into.   "W" is a parameter in  the 
2nd  FCB (it won't work unless a DU is also present) which  tells 
FILER to prompt the user for a delay before continuing.


     The DU form used above consists of at most a disk letter and 
a  user number,  either one of which is optional.   "A" refers to 
disk A,  current user;  "7" refers to the current disk,  user  7; 
"B4"  refers  to  disk  B,  user 4.   The DU form  is  a  logical 
extension to the D form used in CP/M.

     SPECIAL NOTE:  In the FILER command line, the DU form should 
NOT be followed by a colon (:).  This is to prevent the operating 
system from trying to interpret it.

     FILER   must  be  installed  via  GENINS.    See  the  ZCPR2 
Installation Manual for details.

     Enjoy using FILER!

:The DIR Form

     The Copy,  Mass Copy, and Login commands prompt the user for 
the  directory  to copy or log into.   The user may  specify  any 
accepted ZCPR2 DIR form in response to this.

     The   ZCPR2  DIR  form  may  be  either  a  DU   (Disk/User) 
specification  or a directory name (mnemonic).   Examples of  DIR 
forms include:

          B         <-- Disk B, Current User
          7         <-- Current Disk, User 7
          B7        <-- Disk B, User 7
          wordstar  <-- DU associated with the name WORDSTAR

     In  FILER,  these  entries may be optionally suffixed  by  a 
colon  (:)  as the user desires:   "B7:" and "B7" mean  the  same 
thing.

:Tagging Commands

     T  - Tag  file  for inclusion for mass copy  to  another  DU 
(disk/user) area.    File remains tagged until either a disk log-
in  or  'U' is used to untag it.   A '*' marker is placed by  the 
tagged filename as a reminder the file is tagged for mass copy or 
mass  delete.   Tagged file size is shown and totals  accumulated 
and presented.

     U - Untag file previously tagged for mass copy.   'U' can be 
used  to  move  cursor 'forward' for quick  untagging  of  files.  
Logging-in drive again with 'L' also quickly untags all files.

:File Display Commands

     P  - Print  text file to CP/M list  device  (printer).   Any 
keypress cancels.

     V - View text file on console,  with pagination and  single-
line  turn-up.   <CTRL-C> cancels function.   <SPACE> advance  to 
next  line,  and any other character advances one  screen.   Only 
ASCII characters are processed.

:File Operations Commands

     C - Copy file to another DIR area with automatic 'CRC' veri-
fication.   The  standard ZCPR2 DIR form is allowed,  and a colon 
after the specification is optional.   See the section on the DIR 
form  for  more details.  System reset occurs  for  disk  change.  
Prompts to erase already existing file on other drive or in other 
user area.

     D - Delete file from disk, prompts for certainty.

     F - File size in kilobytes,  rounded up to next disk alloca-
tion block.

     M  - Mass  copy of tagged files to another DU  area.   Auto-
erase occurs if file(s) already exist(s).  Prompts for desired DU 
area  as with 'C' and 'L'.   Mass copy function can  be  repeated 
without  re-tagging files.   Simply enter 'M' again to copy  pre-
viously  tagged files to another DU area.   Entering 'M'  without 
any files tagged causes cursor to move to directory beginning.


     R  - Rename  file on current drive.   Only  CP/M  convention 
names permitted.  Wild cards are not permitted.  User is prompted 
for new file name.

     Y - Mass delete of tagged files.   Prompts for approval, and 
Y or V approve deletion while any other character aborts.   If Y, 
deletion occurs without user intervention.   If V,  user is asked 
to approve each deletion before it is made.

:Movement Commands

     <SP>  - Advance to next file name.   Wraparound from last to 
first may occur.

     N - Advance to next file name.  Same as <SP>.

     <BS> - Back up to last file name.   Wraparound from first to 
last may occur.

     B - Back up to last file name.  Same as <BS>.

     G - Go to a file.   Used to quickly jump to a specific file.  
User is prompted for a file name, and wild cards (? and *) may be 
used.   User is positioned at first file which matches wild cards 
if found; user is positioned at first file in ring if not found.

     J - Jump 22 files.   Used to advance to next set of files if 
the  size  of  the directory exceeds the space allocated  on  the 
screen.

:Miscellaneous Commands

     H - Invokes external HELP Information.   FILER will chain to 
HELP and display the information in FILER.HLP.   FILER checks  to 
see  if  HELP  can be found along path  (external  if  available, 
internal  if external path is not available) and does not attempt 
to chain if HELP.COM cannot be found.

     L  - Login new DU area for display and reset system for disk 
changes.  Format of DU form is same as 'C' for copy.

     S - Stat of requested drive, shows remaining disk storage in 
kilobytes and number of files in current directory.

     X - Exit to Operating System.

     Z - Run any ZCPR2 Command Line.   User will be prompted  for 
command line, and FILER will be reentered in same DU area as when 
command  was executed.   Command will execute in the original  DU 
area.

     / or ? - Print Command Summary (Short Help Information).
