- Synopsis
- --------
-
- DISKMAN is a disk/file manager program for use with Windows 3.x. The
- program permits manipulation, such as copying, deleting, renaming, date
- stamping and moving files singly or in groups. Individual files can be
- viewed in HEX or ASCII format and ASCII or HEX strings can be searched
- for in the file using a forward or backward search. Next and previous
- occurances of a find can be accomplished.
-
- The program can manipulate up to 32767 files (depending on available
- host memory) and can include files in it's listing that span disks
- (Note: un-registered copies of DISKMAN are limited to a maximum listing
- of 1000 files and/or directories).
-
- The user has the options of reading files with user determined file
- attributes and filename masks in a single directory, a directory and
- all it's subs, or all directories on the disk. Additionally, other
- directories from the same or different drives may be added to the
- listing with different selection criteria if desired.
-
- An extensive help file provides users with instructions on the use of
- the various commands and sub-commands available within DISKMAN
- including a context senstive help.
-
- Future enhancements
- -------------------
-
- Some planned future enhancements to the program are:
- 1. Inclusion of a graphical display of a disk's directory structure
- (similar to CSS's DIRTREE program, DIRTRE.ZIP);
- 2. Printing of the tree structure to a graphics printer;
- 3. Printing of a viewed file in either the ASCII or HEX formats;
- 4. Printing of the file listing in columnar or full info formats;
- 5. A multi-key sort function with a speedier sort algorithm;
- 6. The use of macros while executing DOS commands from within
- DISKMAN.
- 7. Ability to launch a user defined editor for editing text files.
-
- Other enhancements might be provided as a result of suggestions and
- recommendations from users of the program, espcially those that have
- registered DISKMAN. Feedback IS important.
-
- Version information
- -------------------
-
- This version (2.31) is a maintenance release to correct several minor
- bugs encountered in V2.30 and to add a few new features (see the
- program's help topic Version History for more details on the changes).
-
- Version 2.00 was a massive re-write of the program which greatly
- enhanced the operation and appearance of DISKMAN. Wildcard usage was
- incorporated into the file copy and rename functions as well as the tag
- by name function. The display appearance was enhanced to provide
- better viewability.
