› DIRECTORY MAKER › by Ron Fetzer › › The DIRECTORY MAKER is a very› nice module to incorporate into your› own program. › › It can access the directory of› drives #1, #2 and the RAM Disk D8.› Besides showing you all the files on› the disk it does a lot of other› things, such as: › › 1) The number of files on the › disk › 2) The number of FREE Sectors › 3) The total number of Sectors. › 4) The Disk Density › 5) The max. number of possible › open files. › 6) The max. FREE memory › availbable. › 7) The BASIC revision of your › computer. › › You can A) Access another Drive.› B) Go to BASIC. D) Go to DOS. L) Load› another Disk. M) Delete MEM.SAV. from› RAM Disk D8. R) Return to your› program. › › The module is in LISTED form on› the disk. › › › HOW TO USE THE MODULE IN YOUR › PROGRAM › › 1) Load your program into the› computer. RENUMBER it so it starts› with line #200 . Then type ENTER› "D:DIRECTRY.LIS" from the News-› letter disk. › 2) The module will now be attached› to the front of your program› (lines 10 to 150) › 3) LIST the program to your screen › and look at it. Make sure your › origninal program starts with line› 200. The RETURN TO PRG. looks for › the line 200 to start the program.› 4) Now SAVE it with your FILENAME › › HOW TO RENUMBER your program.› TURBO BASIC has a RENUMBER command› that is very fast. The command is› RENUM a,b,c › a = The 1st OLD number to start with› b = The NEW number that you want › c = Is the line interval (usually 10)› › Suppose your OLD programm starts› now ith line #100 and you want it to› start with line #200, you would type› RENUM 100,200,10 › › To get to TURBO BASIC do the› following: › › 1) Turn the N/L disk to side B› and boot it up. TURBO BASIS› will be loaded. › 2) Hit the RESET key and type in› NEW to erase NEWSLTR.BAS › 3) Take out the N/L disk and put› put in your program disk and› LOAD your program. › 4) If your program starts with› line #100 and you want to› start with line # 200 then› type RENUM 100,200,10 › 5) Save it with a new FILENAME. › › To get this program hit the› RESET key and type in NEW to erase› the program in memory. Then type› ENTER "D:DIRECTRY.LIS" and then RUN› it. › › >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>END<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<› ›
