LST 2.5 by Dave Haynes - A Colorful & Fast Directory List
Copyright 1993-1994 \/ertigo Entertainment. All Rights Reserved.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This software is provided as is.
There are no warranties, expressed or implied.
How to use LST:
It's best to put LST in a directory that is in your PATH statement.
If you're not sure how to do this, just copy everything included on this disk
(or in this archive) to your DOS directory. ie. COPY *.* C:\DOS
Then, all you have to do is simply type LST and hit [ENTER] when you
need a listing of the files in a directory. Type LST/? to get all the
different command line options.
LST Usage:
LST /option /option /-option filename.ext
(wildcards, such as * and ? accepted)
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--------------------
/D = Do not sort the files
/N = Sort files by name (A to Z) [This is the default]
/S = Sort files by size (smallest first)
/T = Sort by date & time (earliest first)
/E = Sort by extension (A to Z)
Any of the above can be reversed by placing a '-' in front of the letter.
For example: /-N will sort files from Z to A.
/C = Clear the screen before output is displayed
/P = No Pause [Pause is the default]
/1 = Display a one column directory list
/2 = Display a two column directory list [This is the default]
/4 = Display a four column directory list [Note: /W = /4]
/I = Miscellaneous Info [This is important information. Please read it.]
/R = Registration Info [This discusses how to register (buy) this software.]
/* = Screen Saver [There are 4 different screen savers, currently.]
/+ = Screen Saver Plus:
Password -> Add a password to the screen saver [Can't get out until
the correct password is given]
Message -> Show a message during the starfield
Password & Message -> Combination of the above
/G = Just a simple guessing game. The computer comments on your skill.
/B = Boss key [This can save you if you're in a GAMES directory while you're
supposed to be working!]
/@ = Use ANSI codes instead of direct screen writes [The only reason I bothered
adding this option is so that I could use LST while dropped to DOS
from a remote location via modem.]
/M = Beeps a few times [Add this to batch files to let the user know when
something is finished.]
/! = Reboots the computer [Be careful with this option. NEVER USE THIS OPTION
WHILE SHELLED TO DOS! -> For a quick warm boot, use /!W -> For a
quick cold boot, use /!C ...]
/^ = Send a form feed command to the printer
/# = Disk Summary [I put this in my AUTOEXEC.BAT so I would know how many
bytes were free and how many were used every time I booted up.]
/& = Display the Pause/Options line by itself [If you know anything about
batch files, you know that PAUSE is a pitiful command. Use this in
its place.]
/$ = Generate numbers for a Pick 6 Lottery [When asked for the number of balls,
enter the number of balls that mix together; for example: 46, not 6]
/V = View a text file [This is just a small step up from the TYPE command.]
/% = Search ALL filenames for user specified text [for example, you could
search for TXT and the following files might show up: SETUP.TXT,
TXTTEST.DOC, or TVTXTDMO.PAS]
/A = Search ALL directories and subdirectories for files
THE PAUSE/OPTIONS LINE
----------------------
<ESC>, <?>Help, <F2>Go To, <F10>Delete, <P>, <V>, <@>, <^>, <!>, <C>, <B>,
<I>, <R>, <#>, <*>, <+>, <G>, <$>, <4>, <2>, <1>, any other key continues...
The P,V,@,^,!,C,B,I,R,#,*,+,G,$,4,2,and 1 options are the same as the
command line options that use those same characters.
<ESC> = Exits to DOS immediately!
<?> = Brings up the pause/options help screen [<F1> does the same]
<F2> = Changes to the directory you are currently viewing [even across drives!]
<F10> = Deletes a single file [wildcards are NOT accepted]

----------- PLUG SPOT -------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to use this spot to plug MY GOOD FRIEND ANDY KELLETT's SILLY
program. No, I'm not making fun of it! SILLY is the name of the program!
Anyway, look for SILLYxxx.ZIP (where xxx is the latest version number) on all
your local BBSs! What does it do? It makes me roll on the floor laughing
sometimes... Currently, there are over 12,500 hilarious one-liners included.
A.K. has also created a Clinton Countdown. Look for it as CLINTNxx.ZIP.
