TopDesk Dump Lisitings--All dumps were done in 128 80 column mode, so if they look funny, that's why.
1) This is the way the screen might look at the beginning of a typical GEOS session. Unlike DeskTop, TopDesk does NOT open a drive upon boot up. That is up to you. As I have this set up, there are four drives: a real 1581, a RAM1581, a RAM1571, and a real 1571. Note that the Date and Time are in European format: Time is 24 hour time; Date is in DD/MM/YY format.
1.5) How four open windows (drives) would look, in regular display mode, if you just open them one right after another. If you hit C=S at any time, the windows will arrange themselves to the most efficient size and position, as follows:
a) With one window open, C=S will make it cover almost all of the screen area.
b) With two windows open, the screen will be split between them.
c) With three windows open, the two non-active ones will be split into quarter size at the top of the screen; the active window takes up the bottom half of the screen.
d) With four windows, each one takes on a quarter of the screen.
2) This shows all four drives open and in "Small Display" format. Small Display is only available in 80 column mode.
3) This shows the same four drives in normal display format.
3.5) This shows four drives in "View by Date" format.
3.5.1) One big window for the open drive showing "View by Date".
4) Upper-left corner is the disk in drive A, called "Pub/Prog 4 TopDe". Lower-right shows the contents of the "Publishing" folder. Upper-right shows the contents of the "PubDAs" folder. (Note the "path" listings in the title bar.) Lower-left shows the contents of the "PubMain" folder.
5) This shows the contents of a full screen. Whether it is showing icons (big or small) or text lines, such as "View by Date", the most any screen will show is sixteen files.
6) Four open drives as small as I could get them.
7) I had to manually change the sizes and positions of these two windows to show sixteen icons (or icon positions) on each of two windows. You should select "Small Display" before you reposition or resize the windows.
8) Here's the "Special" menu pulled down. Note that "RamDeskTop" has been selected.
"TopDesk" will be available for $19.95
