╫ELCOME TO ─┴╓╔─'╙ ─╔╥┼├╘╧╥┘ ─┼╙╔╟╬┼╥ - A PROGRAM WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO REORGANIZE AND REDESIGN A DISK'S DIRECTORY IN ALMOST ANY WAY YOU WANT.
╔F YOU ARE READING THIS FILE ON THE SCREEN THEN IT CAN BE PAUSED AT ANY TIME, AND LATER CONTINUED, BY PRESSING THE ╙╨┴├┼ ┬┴╥. ╥EADING THIS FILE CAN BE ABORTED AT ANY TIME BY PRESSING THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY. ╧NCE ABORTED, IT CAN ALSO BE REREAD FROM WITHIN THE MAIN PROGRAM BY USING THE ╪-╥┴┘ OPTION.
╫HAT YOU ARE READING IS A STANDARD SEQUENTIAL FILE WHICH CAN BE PRINTED USING ┼ASYSCRIPT, ╨APERCLIP, OR ANY OTHER WORD PROCESSOR OR FILE READER WHICH PROCESSES SEQUENTIAL FILES. ├ONSEQUENTLY, IF YOU WANT A HARD COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, LOAD THE FILES CALLED ╔╬╙╘╥╒├╘╔╧╬╙ ╨╘1 AND ╔╬╙╘╥╒├╘╔╧╬╙ ╨╘2 INTO YOUR WORD PROCESSOR, EDIT THEM AS YOU PLEASE, AND DUMP THEM TO PRINTER. ╘HE FILE ╔╬╙╘╥╒├╘╔╧╬╙ IS FORMATTED FOR THE SCREEN (40 COLUMNS WIDE), WHILE ╔╬╙╘╥╒├╘╔╧╬╙ ╨╘1 & ╨╘2 IS THE SAME FILE (SPLIT INTO TWO) IN STANDARD WORD-PROCESSOR FORMAT, I.E. CARRIAGE RETURNS ARE USED TO SEPARATE PARAGRAPHS, NOT TO SEPARATE LINES.
╘HIS PROGRAM HAS MANY FEATURES THAT COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER, SOME OF WHICH ARE:
(1) ╘HE ABILITY TO EDIT THE DIRECTORY OF ANY UNPROTECTED DISK, AND REARRANGE AND INSERT DESIGNS, SUCH AS "****************", OR "*─┴╓╔─ ╠╧╓┼╠╧├╦*", SO THAT A DIRECTORY MIGHT START LIKE THIS:
0 "****************" ╒╙╥
0 "* *" ╒╙╥
0 "*─┴╓╔─ ╠╧╓┼╠╧├╦*" ╒╙╥
0 "* *" ╒╙╥
0 "****************" ╒╙╥
0 " " ╒╙╥
96 "─┴╓╔─'╙ ─┼╙╔╟╬┼╥" ╨╥╟
0 " " ╒╙╥
0 "****************" ╒╙╥
(2) ╘HE ABILITY TO READ STANDARD ╙┼╤ FILES AND REGULAR ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAMS FROM WITHIN ITSELF. ╔F A ╨╥╟ IS NOT A REGULAR ┬┴╙╔├ ╨╥╟ (I.E. DOES NOT LOAD IN AT 2049), THE LOAD ADDRESS OF THAT ╨╥╟ IS SHOWN IN DECIMAL. ╘HIS PERMITS YOU TO GO THROUGH YOUR DISKS, LOOK AT THE FILES, AND DECIDE WHICH ONES TO DELETE IN ORDER TO PURGE AND REORGANIZE YOUR DIRECTORY.
(3) ╘HE ABILITY TO READ, EDIT, AND WRITE TO, ANY TRACK AND SECTOR ON DISK, WHICH THEREFORE GIVES YOU DIRECT USER ACCESS TO THE DISK FROM WITHIN THIS PROGRAM.
(4) ╘HE ABILITY TO PRINT THE DIRECTORY IN A FORMAT WHICH CAN BE STORED IN THE DISK-JACKET.
(5) ╘HE ABILITY TO PROTECT ANY FILE FROM BEING SCRATCHED.
╘HIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO RUN ON A ├OMMODORE 64 WITH A SINGLE 1541 DISK DRIVE. ╔T ALSO RUNS ON THE SINGLE AND DOUBLE ═╙─ DRIVES IN BOTH SERIAL AND PARALLEL MODE, IF THE INTERFACE IS TRANSPARENT, (LIKE THE ┬US├ARD ╔╔). ╘HE PRINT ROUTINES ARE OPTIONAL AND ARE WRITTEN WITH A STANDARD ├OMMODORE PRINTER IN MIND, OR A NON-├OMMODORE PRINTER, SUCH AS THE ╧KIDATA 92 WITH AN INTERFACE THAT CAN EMULATE A ├OMMODORE PRINTER. ╔F YOU ARE USING A PRINTER, YOU SHOULD TURN IT ON BEFORE RUNNING THE PROGRAM. ╘HERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THE ├OMMODORE 64 BEING RESET BY TURNING DISK DRIVES OR PRINTERS ON AND OFF.
╫HEN YOU FINISH READING THIS FILE, YOU WILL BE TOLD TO PUT THE DISK WITH THE DIRECTORY (ABBREVIATED "$" IN ALL THE COMMANDS) WHICH NEEDS EDITING IN THE DRIVE. ╔F THE DIRECTORY IS CIRCULAR, I.E. READS CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT END, YOU ARE SO ADVISED AND THE LOAD IS ABORTED. ╔F THE DISK IS SOFTWARE WRITE-PROTECTED (SUCH AS ┼┴╙┘╙├╥╔╨╘, AND THIS DISK) YOU WILL ALSO BE ADVISED BUT THE LOAD IS NOT ABORTED. ╘HIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PROTECTED DISK THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO WRITE TO. (╔T IS POSSIBLE TO EDIT SUCH DISKS, BUT IN THE HANDS OF A CARELESS USER THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS, SO ╔ CHOSE NOT TO ALLOW SUCH DISKS TO BE EDITED WITH THIS PROGRAM.)
╒NTIL YOU HAVE USED THIS PROGRAM A FEW TIMES ╔ ╙╘╥╧╬╟╠┘ ╒╥╟┼ ┘╧╒ ╘╧ ╘╥┘ ╔╘ ╧╒╘ ╧╬ ┬┴├╦╒╨ ─╔╙╦╙, INSTEAD OF ORIGINALS. ╔N THIS WAY YOU CAN AFFORD TO MAKE MISTAKES WITHOUT DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES.
┴FTER THE DIRECTORY HAS BEEN READ, THE FIRST ╨┴╟┼ OF 20 FILENAMES IS DISPLAYED, IN THE STANDARD ╒PPERCASE/╟RAPHICS MODE, IN A BOX ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN. ╘HE FIVE CHARACTERS WHICH CAN CAUSE THE MOST TROUBLE WHEN LISTING A DIRECTORY (├ARRIAGE ╥ETURN, ╤UOTES, ─ELETE, ╙HIFTED ╥ETURN, AND ├╚╥$(0)) ARE INTERCEPTED BEFORE THEY ARE DISPLAYED AND ARE REPLACED BY ?, EXCEPT THE QUOTE WHICH IS REPLACED BY '. (╔F YOU USE THE ╥┼╬┴═┼ COMMAND ON A FILENAME CONTAINING ONE OF THESE CHARACTERS, THE CORRECT SYMBOL IS REPRESENTED BETWEEN AN EXTRA SET OF QUOTES).
┬ELOW THIS BOX OF FILENAMES IS DISPLAYED THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENTRIES IN THE DIRECTORY.
╧N THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE BOX CONTAINING THE FILENAMES, IS A LIST OF 23 ├╧══┴╬─╙ FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE. ┴ FLASHING CURSOR APPEARS OVER ╨┴╟┼. ╘HERE ARE TWO WAYS TO SELECT A ├╧══┴╬─.
(1) ═OVE THE CURSOR WITH THE CURSOR-UP AND CURSOR-DOWN KEYS AND THEN PRESS THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY. ╘HIS WILL SELECT THE COMMAND UNDER THE CURSOR.
(2) ╨RESS THE FIRST LETTER OF ANY COMMAND. ╘HIS WILL SELECT THAT COMMAND (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ╨, WHICH ALWAYS SELECTS ╨┴├╦, NOT ╨┴╟┼).
┴FTER A ├╧══┴╬─ HAS BEEN SELECTED, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WHICH ARE PRINTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. ╔F YOU SELECT A ├╧══┴╬─ THAT YOU DON'T WANT, AND AN ANSWER IS REQUIRED, PRESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬ WILL ABORT THE ├╧══┴╬─ AND RETURN YOU TO THE MAIN DISPLAY. ╘HE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CHARACTERS EXPECTED IN A RESPONSE IS INDICATED BY THE NUMBER OF DOTS. ╧NLY THE DELETE KEY CAN BE USED TO CORRECT YOUR RESPONSE. ╘HE "╞1" KEY, ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD, CAN BE USED TO ERASE THE ENTIRE ENTRY.
╒NTIL THE DIRECTORY IS RESAVED, (USING THE ╫╥╔╘┼ $ COMMAND), ┴╠╠ ═┴╬╔╨╒╠┴╘╔╧╬╙ ┴╥┼ ─╧╬┼ ╔╬ ═┼═╧╥┘ ┴╬─ ╬╧╘╚╔╬╟ ╔╙ ╙┴╓┼─ ╘╧ ╘╚┼ ─╔╥┼├╘╧╥┘ ╧╬ ─╔╙╦. (╘HERE IS ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS, SEE ╒NDISPLAYED ├OMMANDS BELOW). ╔F YOU DON'T LIKE THE DIRECTORY YOU CREATE, DON'T SAVE IT! ╘O SEE THE DIRECTORY IN ╠OWER/╒PPER CASE MODE, JUST PRESS THE ╙HIFT AND ├OMMODORE KEYS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
╘HE AVAILABLE ├╧══┴╬─╙, IN THE ORDER THEY APPEAR ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, ARE :
╨┴╟┼

┼ACH OF THESE IS NOW DISCUSSED IN TURN.
╨┴╟┼
╔F THERE ARE MORE THAN 20 FILENAMES THEN ╨┴╟┼ WILL DISPLAY THE NEXT 20 FILENAMES IN THE BOX, AND SO ON. ╨RESSING ╨┴╟┼ ON THE LAST PAGE WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO THE FIRST 20 NAMES. ╨AGE ALWAYS GOES FORWARD. ╔F YOU WANT TO MOVE ANYWHERE ELSE, USE THE ╞╔╬─ OR ╩╒═╨ ╘╧ COMMAND.
┴── ╘╧
╘HIS ALLOWS YOU TO ADD AN EXTENSION TO A FILENAME, IF THE FILENAME IS NOT TOO LONG. ┴N EXTENSION IS SOMETHING WHICH APPEARS OUTSIDE THE QUOTES WHEN YOU LIST A ─IRECTORY. ┼XAMPLES OF THIS ARE ",8:"AND "╙┘╙49152". ╫HEN THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN YOU CAN SELECT FROM YOUR OWN DESIGN, OR FROM A LIBRARY, IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO ╔╬╙┼╥╘. ┴── ╘╧ CAN ALSO BE USED TO ╥┼═╧╓┼ AN EXTENSION FROM A FILENAME, BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN.
┬┴╙╔├
╘HIS RETURNS YOU TO ┬┴╙╔├, AND THE DIRECTORY IN MEMORY IS LOST. ╔F YOU HAVE AN EDITED DIRECTORY YOU WANT TO SAVE, USE ╫╥╔╘┼ $ BEFORE USING ┬┴╙╔├. ┘OU CANNOT RERUN THE PROGRAM AFTER EXITING.
├┼╬╘┼╥
╘HIS CENTERS ANY FILENAME. ╘HIS ALSO HAS THE OPTION OF ADDING A BORDER DESIGN TO A FILENAME AS IT IS CENTERED. ╔F YOU USE THIS COMMAND ON ANYTHING BUT A DESIGN, YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT THE PRE-CENTERED FILENAME HAS ESSENTIALLY BEEN RENAMED, IF YOU TRY TO LOAD AND RUN IT IN THE CONVENTIONAL WAY.
─╒═╨ $
╘HIS PRINTS THE DIRECTORY TO A ├OMMODORE PRINTER, OR ONE WHICH EMULATES A ├OMMODORE. ╘HE DIRECTORY IS PRINTED WITH A TITLE BOX WHICH CONTAINS THE DISK HEADER, ╔─, AND NUMBER OF BLOCKS FREE. ╘HERE IS ALSO PROVISION FOR A MESSAGE OF UP TO 30 CHARACTERS TO BE PRINTED IN THIS BOX. ╙UGGESTED USES FOR THIS MESSAGE ARE DATES, COMMENTS ABOUT THE DISK CONTENTS, ORIGIN OF DISK, OR A MESSAGE ON LOADING THE DISK. (╔F YOU DON'T WANT TO PRINT A MESSAGE THEN ╨╥┼╙╙ ╘╚┼ ╙╨┴├┼-┬┴╥ BEFORE PRESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬. ╨RESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬ BY ITSELF WILL ABORT THE COMMAND.) ┘OU ARE GIVEN THE OPTION OF PRINTING IN NORMAL PRINT (╒PPER/╟RAPHICS CASE) OR ╠OWER/╒PPER CASE. ╔F YOU SELECT ╠OWER/╒PPER THE SCREEN DISPLAY WITHIN THE BOX IS CHANGED TO REFLECT THIS, AND YOU ARE ASKED TO CONFIRM YOUR CHOICE. ┴LL CHARACTERS WHICH CAUSE THE PRINTER PROBLEMS ARE INTERCEPTED AND REPLACED BY A "?". ╘HE QUOTE IS REPLACED BY '. ╘HE PRINTOUT IS THE CORRECT WIDTH TO FIT INTO THE SLEEVE OF A DISK, SHOULD YOU WISH TO CUT IT OUT AND USE IT THAT WAY. ╘HE DISK CONTENTS ARE PRINTED TWO ABREAST. ╒NLESS YOU USE ╨┴├╦, ALL ─┼╠ETED FILES ARE ALSO DISPLAYED IN THEIR CORRECT POSITION.
┼├╚╧
╘HIS DUPLICATES AN EXISTING ─┼╙╔╟╬ (A ╒╙╥ FILENAME OF LENGTH ZERO) FROM ONE LOCATION TO ANOTHER. ╔T WILL ╬╧╘ ALLOW YOU TO DUPLICATE A "GENUINE" FILENAME.
╞╔╬─
╙ELECTING THIS COMMAND WILL ALLOW YOU TO FIND THE FIRST MATCHING FILENAME (OR PART OF THE FILENAME) FROM THE TOP OF THE PRESENT ╨┴╟┼ TO THE END OF THE DIRECTORY. ╔F A MATCH IS FOUND, THE PAGE ON WHICH IT FIRST OCCURS IS DISPLAYED. ╘HERE IS THE CHOICE OF A QUICK-FIND, WHICH ONLY SEARCHES THE BEGINNING OF EACH FILENAME FOR A MATCH, AND A SLOW-FIND, WHICH SEARCHES THROUGH THE ENTIRE FILENAME LOOKING FOR A MATCH. ┴ SLOW-FIND FOR "┬╥" WOULD FIND EITHER "┬╥╔╠╠╔┴╬╘ ╨╥╟" OR "┴ ┬╥╔╠╠╔┴╬╘ ╨╥╟", WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. ┴ FAST-FIND WOULD ONLY FIND "┬╥╔╠╠╔┴╬╘ ╨╥╟".
╟╒┴╥─
╔T IS POSSIBLE TO SOFTWARE PROTECT INDIVIDUAL FILES, AND THIS IS INDICATED BY THE SYMBOL "<" BEING PLACED TO THE RIGHT OF THE PROGRAM TYPE, SUCH AS "╨╥╟<". ╘HIS COMMAND ALLOWS YOU TO PROTECT/GUARD (OR UNPROTECT/UNGUARD) EITHER ALL THE FILES OR ANY ONE YOU CHOOSE. ╘HIS COMMAND WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO GUARD ─┼╠ETED FILES OR FILES THAT YOU HAVE ╦╔╠╠ED.
╚╒┼
╘HIS CONTAINS ITS OWN INSTRUCTIONS, AND PERMITS YOU TO CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE CURSOR, THE BORDER, AND THE BACKGROUND, TO SUIT YOUR TASTE (OR LACK OF IT!). ╨RESSING THE ├╘╥╠ KEY WITH ANY OF THE DESCRIBED KEY COMBINATIONS GIVES YOU ACCESS TO THE SECOND SET OF 8 COLORS.
╔╬╙┼╥╘
╘HIS ALLOWS YOU TO INSERT A DESIGN IN THE DIRECTORY. ┼ACH FILE ╔╬╙┼╥╘ED IN THIS WAY CREATES A ╒╙┼╥ (╒╙╥) FILE OF ZERO LENGTH WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY DISK SPACE. ╚OWEVER, A MAXIMUM OF 144 FILENAMES IS PERMITTED BY THE ├OMMODORE 1541 ─╧╙, SO THE PENALTY FOR ╔╬╙┼╥╘ING A FILENAME IN THIS WAY IS THE LOSS OF ONE GENUINE FILENAME, NOT THE LOSS OF DISK SPACE. ╫HEN THIS OPTION IS SELECTED YOU ARE ASKED WHETHER YOU WANT TO DESIGN YOUR OWN FILENAME (SELECT ╧) OR TO USE ONE OF THE 20 DESIGNS IN THE LIBRARY (SELECT ╠). ╔F YOU SELECT ╧ THEN YOU CAN CREATE A DESIGN OF UP TO 16 CHARACTERS USING ANY OF THE ├OMMODORE KEYS, EXCEPT THOSE THAT AFFECT SCREEN EDITING, LIKE ╚╧═┼, ├╥╙╥, ─┼╠┼╘┼, ╤╒╧╘┼╙ ETC.. ╞ILENAMES OF TYPE ╒╙╥ AND LENGTH ZERO ARE CALLED ─┼╙╔╟╬S.
