       DISKLIST -  Directory List/Label Producer-39 Formats

       DISKLIST produces diskette covers with the directory contents of
       5.25 inch, 3.5 inch, and hard disks.  DISKLIST reads all sub-
       directories.  Output can be directed to the printer, screen or a
       file.  Choose from 39 formats that print from one to six columns
       of file names with options to include the date, time and file
       size.  Select the type of frame lines, either IBM or ASCII.

       Prints different or duplicate lists on Avery Laser label sheets.
       Prints on disk sleeves on lasers with PCL5.

       Printer control codes and commands can be inserted and saved for
       laser, ink jet, and dot matrix printers.  File names can be
       sorted.  File names in ZIP, ARC, PAK, ZOO, and LHZ can optionally
       be displayed.  DISKFLAP holds non-sticky list to 3.5" disks.

       Writes directory data to a file to create a multiple file
       catalog.  Can be run from a batch file without screen display or
       keyboard input.

       label on a list.

       Major Enhancements to DISKLIST Since Version 2.64

          1) DISKLIST can SHADE lists on laser printers.  Select the shade
             density for three areas of the list.  SHADE can be toggled ON
             or OFF from the control window.
          2) Select files from multiple filespecs.  For example, you may
             select up to 12 filespecs such as *.BAT and *.SYS for a set,
             and have 12 named sets which are saved.  Files can also be
             excluded in a similar way.
          3) Print on 5¼ sleeves on the Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 where
             the sleeve guide is not in the center.
          4) Stops printing at the end of the sleeve so the list doesn't
             continue on next page.
          5) Printing multiple labels continues on empty Avery label sheets
             from selected starting position, i.e. to print 3 labels
             starting at position 6 prints in positions 6, 7, 8 not 6, 1, 2.
          6) Print multiple lists on a single sheet of all disk size
             formats on a laser printer.  Select position like current
             Avery selection method using either preset or custom layouts.
          7) Position the line where DISKLIST starts printing on Avery
             labels up or down.
          8) An option to shut off printing at the bottom of Avery laser labels.
          9) Process files of PKZIP 204g and process .ARJ files like .ZIP.
          10) DISKLIST sets the default directory to the root directory
              after it reads a diskette with subdirectories.
          11) Although DISKLIST is a DOS program, it can be run in Windows.
              Included with DISKLIST Version 3.0 is a DISKLIST Icon and a
              DISKLIST.PIF file for use with Windows 3.1.

       Major Enhancements to DISKLIST Since Version 2.50

          1) DISKLIST can create a Disk Catalog,
          2) List only the files in a specific subdirectory,
          3) The ability to run DISKLIST without any display, unless
             DISKLIST has to report an error.  Consequently, it can also
             be run from a batch file.
          4) Finely adjust the left margin when printing on Avery labels.
          5) Set the last drive letter - allows DISKLIST to run on a LAN.
          6) Automatically read a title line from a disk.
          7) Print multiple lines of text from a file
          8) Deselect all DISKLIST data including file directory data.
          9) A new output device option is Ink Jet Printer.

       Major Enhancements to DISKLIST Version 2.50 Since Version 2.10

       DISKLIST prints on Avery Laser Label Sheets #5196 and #5197.
       These labels fit 3½ and 5¼ diskettes.  You can select which
       position on the Avery sheet to print on, mark positions as not to
       use, request that multiple copies of labels be printed.

       DISKLIST will print on plain paper, not Tyvek, disk sleeves on
       laser printers that support HP PCL5 commands.  PCL5 first came
       out on LJ III printers and is now supported by other brands.
       DISKLIST uses a PCL5 command to print upside down.

       Six formats have been added, all for 8½ x 11 format.  This gives
       a better selection of information desired and puts up to 6 times
       more file names on one page.

       Printer ports can be switched from LPT1: to LPT2: to LPT3: from
       the control window.

       The configuration menu has been expanded for you to customize
       your output better.  You may print the time and date on the top,
       bottom (as is done now), or not at all.  The line with total
       Space and Bytes may be omitted.  These options give you more
       lines on the output for file names.

       You may elect to skip lines after a certain number of lines have
       been printed on a label.  This is to prevent printing on the
       blank space between gummed labels.

       DISKLIST now works with LHA ver 2.10.  Before it worked with ver
       1.13c.

       Some other DISKLIST features that were in previous versions are:

       It is extensively adapted to printing on laser printers.  A
       complete set of laser commands are supplied and can be edited for
       each format.  DISKLIST can download user soft fonts.

       It has 39 formats that print from one to six columns of file
       names with options to include date, time and file size.  It can
       print a border around a list to be cut out, or omit the border
       for stick on labels.

       It can list the files inside of ZIP, ARC, PAK, LHZ, and ZOO.

       There are nine date formats to choose from for the file dates.

       It can print on a clever diskflap for 3.5" diskettes.
       Construction of a diskflap is described in the documentation
       under the heading DISKFLAP.
