╔NTRODUCTORY ╔─┼┴
-----------------
╔NTUITIVE ─IRECTORY ┼DITING ┴SSISTANCE (╔─┼┴) IS A FULL-
FEATURED DISK DIRECTORY EDITOR FOR THE ├OMMODORE 1541, 1571 AND
1581 DISK DRIVES. ╔T RUNS ON THE ├OMMODORE 64 OR THE ├OMMODORE
128 IN 64 MODE.
╔─┼┴ WAS DEVELOPED FOR TWO MAIN REASONS: TO HELP FILL THE
"VOID" OF SOFTWARE THAT SUPPORTS THE 1581 AND TO CREATE A
DIRECTORY EDITOR THAT COMBINES THE BEST FEATURES OF SIMILAR
PROGRAMS OF THE PAST. ╙OME OF THOSE FEATURES INCLUDE:
* ╙UPPORT FOR UP TO FOUR DRIVES
* ═OVE FILENAMES TO ANY POSITION
* ╙ORT DIRECTORY ENTRIES
* ╨ACK DIRECTORY ENTRIES
* ╔NSERT DIVIDERS, REMARKS OR BLANK ENTRIES INTO DIRECTORY
* ├HANGE OR RESTORE BLOCK SIZE OF FILES
* ├LOSE "SPLAT" (UNCLOSED) FILES
* ├HANGE FILETYPES
* ╠OCK OR UNLOCK FILES
* ┼DIT DISKNAME AND ╔─
* ╙OFTWARE WRITE OR UNWRITE-PROTECT A DISK
* ╟┼╧╙ AND ┼PYX ╓ORPAL COMPATIBLE - ╫╔╠╠ ╬╧╘ DESTROY
NON-├┬═ FILE POINTERS
* ╞╒╠╠ SUPPORT FOR THE 1581
- ├APACITY FOR UP TO 296 DIRECTORY ENTRIES
- ┼DITS SUBDIRECTORIES (INFINITE LEVELS)

╫HEN ╔─┼┴ IS FIRST RUN, THERE WILL BE A SMALL PAUSE, THEN
THE TITLE SCREEN WILL BE DISPLAYED. ┴FTER A FEW SECONDS, THE
DISK DRIVE SELECTION MENU WILL APPEAR. ╔T SHOWS THE DEVICE
NUMBERS AND DRIVE TYPES OF ALL POWERED-ON DRIVES CONNECTED TO THE
SYSTEM. ╔F THERE IS NO DRIVE FOR THE DEVICE NUMBER, IT IS
INDICATED AS "╬OT PRESENT." ╔F THE DRIVE IS NOT A 1541, 1571 OR
1581, IT IS INDICATED AS "╬OT SUPPORTED." ╙ELECT THE DESIRED
DRIVE WITH [├╥╙╥ ╒╨/─╬], THEN PRESS [╥┼╘╒╥╬]. ┬ELOW IS A TABLE
OF DRIVE TYPES AND THEIR DESCRIPTIONS.

HAPPEN VERY OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS USUALLY WITH PROTECTED
COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE. ┼DITING THEIR DIRECTORIES COULD HAVE
DISASTEROUS RESULTS, SO ╔─┼┴ WILL NOT PERMIT IT.
