      ^1Jacket^0 is a streamlined program that will list the files on a floppy 
 disk and print them within a template on your printer, which you can then cut 
 out and assemble into a jacket sleeve for the diskette.  This allows you to 
 have a list of the files on a given disk right at your fingertips, eliminating 
 the "Gee, I wonder what is on this disk" questions which inevitably arise.  

 USING JACKET
 
    Jacket is driven from a menu bar on the top line of the screen which offers 
 the following options: 

           ReadDir     Select     Print     Clear     Help     Quit


 ^1ReadDir

      This option allows you to specify the drive and path from which to get 
 the list of files.  It also allows you to select the mask to use in obtaining 
 the file listing.  See "File Mask" below for an explanation of how a mask is 
 used.  

      The current drive/path and mask are displayed in a box in the center of 
 the screen.  To accept the information displayed, press the "Enter" key.  If 
 you wish to change the drive and/or path, move the cursor to that field using 
 the up arrow key and type in the new information.  To change the file mask, 
 move the cursor to that field and type in the new mask to be used.  Once you 
 are satisfied with the drive/path and mask, press the "Enter" key to execute 
 the directory read.  Control will return to the main menu and the chosen files 
 will be listed in the center of the screen in bright white.  
 
 Drive/Path Examples:
 
      a:
         specifies drive "a" as the drive to use for the file listing.
 
      b:\games\
          
         specifies drive "b", directory "games", as the drive and path
         to use for the file listing.
 

     FILE MASK
 
          A file mask is a combination of the DOS wild cards, * and ?,  and 
    filename characters and is used to specify a group of files.  Consult
    your DOS manual for further information about wild cards.

    File Mask Examples:

    *.*     This is Jacket's default file mask.  It specifies that all files 
            in the directory are to be listed.  The * before the period says 
            to include all file names; the * after the period says to include
            all extensions. 

   *.txt    Specifies that all files with the extension "txt" are to be 
            included.

   a*.*     Specifies that all files beginning with an "a" are to be included.

   test?.*  Specifies that files beginning with the word "test" and followed 
            by any single character are to be included.


 ^1Select

      Once you have read the directory (by performing the ReadDir command), use 
 this option to select the specific files to be printed on the jacket.  The 
 default is for all files listed to be printed.  If this is what you want, you 
 can go directly to "Print" after reading the directory without performing a 
 "Select" (if you have already chosen Select, press the Esc key to return to 
 the menu).  If you want to further limit the files to be printed on the 
 jacket, continue with this option to deselect the files you do not want to 
 include. 

       A highlight bar appears over the first file in the listing.  To deselect 
 a file, move the highlight bar to it and press the spacebar.  When you are 
 finished selecting the files to be printed, press the Esc key to return to the 
 main menu.  The bottom of the screen is a brief help bar explaining how to 
 move around the file listing and how to select and deselect files: 
        
       F1     -  Pops up a box with information on selecting files.
         
       F2     -  Toggles all of the files between selected (bright white)
                 and deselected (dull white).
 
       Space  -  Toggles the file the highlight bar is on between selected
       Bar       and deselected.
           

       Arrow  -  Move the highlight bar (Up arrow moves the bar up, etc.)
       Keys   

       PageUp -  Previous page of file listing (if any).

       PageDn -  Next page of file listing (if any).
                  
       Esc    -  Return to the main menu.


 ^1Print
        
      This option will print the jacket template.  If you have selected files 
 to be printed, they will be printed on the front of the jacket sleeve.  If you 
 have not read a directory or have not selected any files, a blank jacket will 
 be printed.  Remember, if there is a list of files on the screen, those 
 displayed in bright white will be printed--dull white ones will not.  
 
      NOTE : There is a limited amount of space on the front of a jacket 
 sleeve.  If you have selected more files than will fit on the sleeve, only the 
 first 46 (approx.) will be printed.  
 
 
      ASSEMBLING THE JACKET
 
           Once the jacket template has been printed, remove the paper 
      from your printer.   Cut around the outer edges.  Horizontal outer 
      edges are designated by dashes--vertical edges by exclamation 
      points.  The inner lines, made up of dots, are the fold lines.  
      Fold the jacket along these lines.  Fold the two large sections 
      toward each other with the file listing facing out.  The two 
      smaller flap-like sections protruding from the face of the jacket 
      should be folded around the back and taped or glued in place.  
      Your jacket is now finished and ready for use.  If these 
      instructions are not sufficiently clear, simply examine one of 
      your old disk sleeves.  

      
 ^1Clear

      This option clears the screen and memory.  Any previous file listing is 
 erased from the screen and is no longer available. 

    
 ^1Help

      This option pops up a box with overall help on using Jacket. 

  
 ^1Quit

      This option allows you to exit Jacket, and causes a prompt to appear 
 confirming that you wish to quit.  Press "Y" to continue quitting or "N" if 
 you wish to return to Jacket.
