─────┤ ITEM SELECTION SCREEN ├─────
Select the desired item by moving the lite bar up or down
and pressing the return/enter key.
You can select the Enter DiZk Number or DiZk Title option
and then enter the number or title you desire to have the
program find the entry for you.
─────┤ LISTS&LABELS ├─────
You can choose to print out only protions of your file, by
entering "C" for Criteria.
The program will enter All data in the file if you select
"A".
─────┤ PRINT OUTS ├─────
Listing:
You have the option of writing to a
file (DiZkLIST.TXT on your data drive)
or printing the information. This
will output the DiZk number, title,
code, and remarks.
Catalog:
You have the option of writing to a
file (CATALOG.TXT on your data drive)
or printing the information. This
will output the DiZk number, title,
code, remarks and all file info
(including name, size, date, and
description) for either all of
selected criteria. This will print
out the DiZk number, title, code, and
remarks.
Description Labels:
Prints file names and descriptions
for selected DiZks (The large labels
also include the file date). If the
information will take up more than one
label the program will print out
subsequent labels until all of the
information is printed. You can
always put the extra labels on the
DiZk sleeve. This type of label is
great for ZIP files since only a few
will fit on a DiZk and what is in
them is more important than just the
file names. The Remarks lines for
the small lines are trimmed to the
first 52 characters of each line (to
get them to fit) for the large labels
they are complete.
File Name Labels:
Prints file names for selected DiZks
( 4 across on small labels 5 across on
large labels). If the information
will take up more than one label the
program will print out subsequent
labels until all of the information is
printed. You can always put the
extra labels on the DiZk sleeve. This
type of label is great for single
program DiZks when what the filenames
are is is more important than the
descriptions.
File Name Sleeve & Komplete Sleeve:
Produces a sleeve for 5.25" dizks
with either file name information or
file name and descriptions. Each
sleeve takes one standard 8.5 X 10
piece of paper to produce. The
sleeve will have two different types
of lines on it: Cut Out Lines (which
are represented by -----s) and Fold
Lines (which are represented by
........s). All you need to do is
cut the sleeve out and fold where
shown. Apply tape or glue to the
flaps to hold the sleeve together.
File List:
Will print a listing of every single
file, size, date and description for
the DiZks you select. It takes a lot
of space to do this! It is
recommended for use with a hard drive
only. You do have the option of
writing this information to a file
(FILELIST.TXT on your default drive)
or sending it to your printer.
─────┤ LISTS&LABELS ├─────

This allows you to customize the printer codes used by the
program. These codes can be found in your printer manual.
The codes that the program has when originally distributed
are for the Epson FX100.
You will need to know the code for 10 cpi (Pica), 12 CPI
(Elite), Enlarged, Condensed (17CPI), Sub Script, n/72
Line Feeds and Double High/Wide. If your printer cannot
handle double high/wide DON'T PANIC, just leave it blank;
the program will use Enlarged for that entry.
You do not have to enter the ESC part of the code, the
program will add that automatically.
