DD v4.01a

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD is a replacement for the DOS "DIR" command. It will display files in
one, two, three, four, or six columns, sorted, and in user-configurable colors.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Registration ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD is no longer "FREEWARE". I have put many hours of work into this
project, and I feel that it's worth the small registration fee. Please see
CONQUEST.REG for registration information.
DD IS FULLY OPERATIONAL IN ITS UNREGISTERED STATE.

│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Hardware/Software Requirements & Limitations ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD requires DOS v2.11 or higher, and approximately 100k of free RAM. It is
currently limited to 1000 files per directory. If you have a directory with
more than 1000, only the first 1000 will be shown. I don't forsee this to be a
problem, since almost NO ONE will have that many files in a single directory.

For a complete listing of DD's features, see COMPARE.TXT which is included
in the archive.

│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Installation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Copy DD.EXE into a directory that is listed in the PATH statement of your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. DD's default values will suffice for most users, but if
you wish to customize your copy, run DD /CFG. (See DDCONFIG.DOC for an
explanation of each option.)

│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Command Line Options ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD's default file specification is '*.*'. But, you can specify a
different one on the command line if you wish. DD will accept up to 25
different file specifications.
Examples:
DD *.BAT List all .BAT files in the current directory.
DD A: List all files on diskette in drive A:
DD C:\DOS List all files in DOS directory, on drive C:
DD D:\*.EXE List All .EXE files in the root directory on drive D:
