╘HE OBJECTIVE OF THIS UTILITY IS TO RE-ARRANGE THE DIRECTORY. ┘OU ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF CHANGING THE LOAD ADDRESS OF PROGRAM FILES.
┘OU'LL BE PROMPTED FOR A DISK, AND A DIRECTORY WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. ╘HIS UTILITY WILL DISPLAY ALL FILES, EVEN THE DELETED ONES. ═OVE THE CURSOR UP AND DOWN USING THE CURSOR KEYS, THE + AND - KEYS TO MOVE ONE PAGE UP AND DOWN RESPECTIVELY, AND ╚╧═┼ TO GO TO THE TOP OF THE DIRECTORY. ╬OW YOU'RE READY TO EDIT THE DIRECTORY.
╨╠┼┴╙┼ ╬╧╘┼: ┼XCEPT FOR THE LOAD ADDRESS CHANGE COMMAND, NO CHANGES WILL BE PERMANENT UNTIL YOU PRESS ╞1 TO REWRITE THE DIRECTORY. ╔F YOU MESS THINGS UP, PRESS ┼╙├ TO BACK OUT.
╘O MOVE A FILE MANUALLY, MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE FILE, PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ OR ╙╨┴├┼. ╒SING THE CURSOR KEYS, MOVE THE FILE TO THE DESIRED POSITION AND THEN PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ OR ╙╨┴├┼ AGAIN. ╬OW YOU'RE READY TO MOVE ANOTHER FILE OR DO SOMETHING ELSE.
╨RESSING ╙ WILL SORT THE FILES ALPHABETICALLY. ┴LL DELETED FILES WILL BE MOVED TO THE END OF THE DIRECTORY. ╔F YOU WANT TO USE THE SORT FEATURE, USE IT BEFORE MOVING FILES MANUALLY. ╘HE SORT FEATURE WILL ALPHABETIZE THE DIRECTORY REGARDLESS OF WHICH ORDER THE FILES WAS ORIGINALLY IN.
├ WILL COMPRESS THE DIRECTORY. ┴LL DELETED FILES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE DIRECTORY. ╔F YOUR DISK CONTAINS MANY DELETED FILES, COMPRESSING THE DIRECTORY WILL INCREASE THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE. ╞URTHERMORE, ALL NEW FILES SAVED TO THE DISK WILL BE TACKED ONTO THE END OF THE DIRECTORY. ╫ITH DELETED FILES IN THE DIRECTORY, NEW FILES WILL BE SAVED AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE DIRECTORY POSITION, WHICH MIGHT BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. ╘HIS MIGHT BE UNDESIRABLE. ╨╠┼┴╙┼ ╬╧╘┼: ╔F YOU REWRITE A COMPRESSED DIRECTORY, ALL THE REMOVED FILES WILL BE LOST FOREVER. ╘HEY CAN ╬╧╘ BE REVIVED BY THE UNSCRATCH UTILITY.
╠ WILL LOCK OR UNLOCK A FILE. ╔F IT WAS UNLOCKED IT WILL BE LOCKED AND VICE VERSA. ╠OCKING A FILE WILL PROTECT IT FROM BEING SCRATCHED. ╚OWEVER, IT WILL ╬╧╘áBE PROTECTED AGAINST FORMATTING OF THE DISK. ┴ LOCKED FILE APPEARS WITH A < -SIGN BEHIND THE FILE TYPE. ─ELETED FILES CANNOT BE LOCKED.
╘ WILL CHANGE THE FILE TYPE OF A FILE. ╥EPEATED PRESSES WILL ROTATE THE FILE TYPES AROUND. ╦EEP PRESSING ╘ UNTIL THE DESIRED FILE TYPE IDENTIFIER IS SHOWN. ┘OU CAN CHANGE THE FILE TYPE TO ─┼╠, BUT THIS WILL ╬╧╘ ERASE THE FILE FROM THE DISK. ┴ ─┼╠ FILE (WITHOUT A PRECEDING ASTERISK) IS A COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE FILE TYPE WHICH CAN BE READ AS ANY ╙┼╤ FILE. ┴ ─┼╠ FILE CANNOT BE COPIED USING A FILE COPIER BECAUSE THE ─╧╙ WON'T ALLOW THE CREATION OF A ─┼╠ FILE. ┴NY ATTEMPT OF DOING SO WILL RESULT IN A ╙┼╤áFILE BEING CREATED. ┘OU CANNOT CHANGE THE FILE TYPE OF A DELETED FILE (─┼╠ FILE WITH ASTERISK). ╘O DO THAT, YOU MUST UNSCRATCH THE FILE FIRST.
┘OU CAN CHANGE THE LOAD ADDRESS OF A PROGRAM (╨╥╟) FILE BY PRESSING ┴. ┴LL PROGRAMS HAVE TWO BYTES AT THE BEGINNING OF IT WHICH TELLS FROM WHERE IN THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY IT WAS SAVED. ╘HIS ADDRESS IS IMPORTANT IN MANY CASES. ╘HE ┬╠╧┴─ COMMAND WILL LOAD THE FILE TO THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN THE FILE, IF YOU DON'T SPECIFY OTHERWISE BY USING THE ╨ OPTION. ╘HE FAMILIAR ╠╧┴─ "FILE",8,1 FROM THE 64 MODE LOADS A FILE TO THE ADDRESS IN THE FILE; NORMALLY THE ADDRESS FROM WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY SAVED. ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ WILL READ THE LOAD ADDRESS OF THE FILE AND DISPLAY IT IN DECIMAL AND HEXADECIMAL NOTATION. ┴ CURSOR APPEARS, AND YOU MAY ENTER A NEW ADDRESS FOR THE FILE. ╧N DEFAULT, A DECIMAL ADDRESS IS REQUIRED, BUT YOU MAY ENTER A HEXADECIMAL VALUE IF YOU PUT A DOLLAR SIGN IN FRONT OF IT. ╔F YOU DON'T WISH TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS, JUST PRESS THE ┼╙├ KEY. ╔F YOU DO ENTER A NEW ADDRESS, IT WILL BE DISPLAYED IN DECIMAL AND HEXADECIMAL, AND YOU'LL BE ASKED IF IT'S ╧╦ TO PROCEED. ╔F YOU ANSWER ┘ FOR YES, THE NEW ADDRESS WILL BE WRITTEN BACK TO THE DISK. ╧THERWISE, YOU'LL GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO RE-ENTER THE ADDRESS OR EXIT.
╬ WILL LET YOU CHANGE THE NAME OF A FILE. ┴ WINDOW APPEARS WITH THE CURRENT NAME BEING DISPLAYED AND THE CURSOR FLASHING WAITING FOR YOU TO ENTER A NEW NAME. ╔F YOU ENTER A NAME OF AN EXISTING FILE YOU WILL BE WARNED ABOUT THIS. ┘OU MAY WANT TO RE-ENTER THE FILE NAME OR IGNORE THE WARNING AND WILLFULLY USE A DUPLICATE FILE NAME. ╘HIS IS NOT GOOD PRACTICE THOUGH. ╔F A FILE NAME APPEARS MORE THAN ONCE IN THE DIRECTORY, ONLY THE FIRST ONE CAN BE ╧╨┼╬ED OR ╠╧┴─ED. ╧N THE OTHER HAND, SCRATCHING THE FILE WILL SCRATCH ALL FILES WITH IDENTICAL NAMES.
╨RESS ╞1 TO SAVE THE MODIFIED DIRECTORY BACK TO DISK IF DESIRED. ┘OU'LL BE ASKED IF IT'S ╧╦ TO DO IT. ╔F NOT, YOU'LL RETURN TO THE DIRECTORY DISPLAY.
