PopDir v1.6
© Copyright 1989 Jonathan Potter
****************************************************************************
This program is NOT Public Domain, but is freely redistributable.
PopDir is the second in a line of "Pop" utilities.
To run PopDir, double click on the icon from Workbench, or type
PopDir <CR>
from the CLI. PopDir is compiled under Lattice 5.02 as an LSR (load-and-stay-
resident) program, so you do not need RUN or RUNBACKGROUND, etc.
When run, a small icon appears on the screen. This icon can be dragged around,
or double-clicked, to open a larger window.
This window contains a string gadget (into which you can type the path name)
and various gadgets (shortcuts for various devices).
Clicking on a device gadget causes that device name to be inserted in the
string gadget. The "Parent" gadget returns the parent of the current
directory.
When you have the path name entered correctly in the string
gadget, click on the "Dir" gadget, or press RETURN in the string gadget.
A large window will open, and display the directory of the specified path.
Files are displayed in pen colour 1, and directories in pen colour 3.
When a page full of names has been displayed, the program waits for the
press of any key before continuing.
When all names have been displayed, clicking on the close gadget returns you
to the gadget window.
Clicking on the close gadget in this window exits the program.
IRQ checking has been removed from the version of PopDir. It seemed pointless
to have it, as there are now more file viruses around than IRQ. Checking for
them all would make the program too long. There are proper virus checkers
available (eg ZeroVirus) that do the job much better anyway.
Please enjoy and use the program. Any comments, bug reports, or spare
money can be sent to
