- This program is menu driven and should be self explanatory. The
- purpose of this program is to get a nice listing of all or part of the
- files within the directories and subdirectories. When prompted for a
- "Yes or No" answer, the flashing [Y] or [N] is the default and you
- need only reply with the Return Key. When asked for the "full path",
- be sure to include the "\" where appropriate. After depressing the
- Return Key, the cursor will be repositioned to the beginning of the
- line. If what you have typed looks correct, depress the Return Key a
- second time, otherwise retype to make corrections.
-
- After the credit page is displayed, the program gives the user a
- choice of six printers to choose from. If these printer selections do
- not include your printer type, make up an ASCII .PDF file similar to
- one of the six .PDF files included. You are then prompted for the
- starting directory, unless you specified one on the DOS command line.
- You are then asked "Do you want a listing ?" with the default being
- [YES].
-
- The program was compiled and sized to handle a maximum of 512
- subdirectories and 500 files per subdirectory. It's hard for me to
- imagine more than that for someone's PC, but if you need to have
- more, leave me a message on one of the bulletin boards listed below.
- The following are to serve as examples for running HDLU from the DOS
- command line:
-
-
- C> HDLU \ - causes the ROOT directory to be the
- starting
- point
-
- C> HDLU \TELIX - SubDirectory TELIX becomes the starting
- point
-
- C> HDLU \FINANCE\HOME - SubDirectory FINANCE\HOME is starting
- point
-
-
-
- Once the program finds the starting point that you have selected,
- it continues to display and list the files as it finds them. When a
- subdirectory is found, it is placed on a stack. After all the files
- at the current level have been processed, the next subdirectory is
- taken off of the stack and it's files get processed. This continues
- until all of the files and all of the subdirectories have been
- processed. If you want to see how the program works before using up
- any paper, answer NO when prompted for a listing.
-
- If you like the program, then please let me know. If you have
- any problems with this program or would like to see some additions,
- please leave me a message on one of the following bulletin boards:
