*SETUP HELP
*SNOW
If your monitor "flickers" annoyingly when D is run, you should enable
this option to supress the flickering. This option is only valid for
the DOS-only version of D; it is ignored for the OS/2 protected and
family mode versions. If the /F command line switch is used when
executing D, the opposite of this option will be used.
*FOUR COL
This option controls the format of the output. The sample output
demonstrates the "4-column" form of the display. If you set this
option to "N", files will be displayed one-per-line, and the display
will include the file dates, times, and any attributes. If the
/W command line switch is used when executing D, the display will
always reflect the opposite of this option.
*MONO
D will use the equipment flag of your computer to determine whether or
not you have a color monitor, and will adjust its display accordingly.
You can force the display to appear in monochrome regardless of your
hardware by using this option. Use of the /M command line switch when
executing D will toggle whatever setting is chosen here. Note that D
keeps two sets of attribute tables; one for color, and one for mono.
When this switch is changed, the appropriate table is displayed, and
the sample output is updated accordingly.
*SORTS
These five fields control the order in which the displayed files are
sorted, in descending order of priority. The values for the options
are:
0 = No sort 1 = Sort by filename
2 = Sort by extension 3 = Sort by file size
4 = Sort by file date 5 = Sort by file time
If any of the fields is a zero, all following sort fields are ignored.
Also, if any command line switches pertaining to sorting are used when
D is executed, they take precedence, and this table is ignored.
*COLORS
This field specifies the background color for the specified text.
Color values are as follows (add 8 for "bright" colors). Note that
"bright" values used as background colors may cause the text to blink.
0 = Black 1 = Blue 2 = Green 3 = Cyan
4 = Red 5 = Magenta 6 = Brown 7 = White
Color monitors:
Note that bright black is grey, and bright brown is yellow.
Monochrome monitors:
Only 0 and 7 are valid colors. Add 1 for underlining.
