Master Directory (v4.2) by Bob Stephan REGISTRATION ($15.00)
Distributed by Monterey Bay Disk Data Systems
MASDIR (pronounced 'master') is an acronym for MASter DIRectory
System. SDL is the main program. To use SDL simply copy SDL.COM to
the disk and/or directory where you keep your other DOS command files
or utilities. Then just use SDL in the same way you use DIR.
SDL is a Sorted Directory Listing program that is used in place of the
DOS DIR command. You can invoke it from the DOS prompt just like DIR,
and it accepts the same file specifications (filespecs) that DIR does
including paths and wild cards.
But there the similarity ends. SDL has these features and more:
<> Sorts the listing alphabetically by name, or optionally by
extension, date, size, or (like DIR) not at all.
<> Presents the listing in 2, 4 or 6 columns of file names in easy to
read format.
<> The options are selectable at the DOS prompt by adding them to the
SDL command (like you can add /P or /W to the DIR command).
<> Many options can also be selected from a menu that is presented at
the bottom of the screen at the end of the listing.
<> A setup program lets you select your own defaults for the various
options by entering single keystroke answers to a few questions.
You can make SDL work the way you want it to.
<> On screen help by entering SDL /? at the DOS prompt.
<> Unique to SDL are some excellent printing capabilities! With a
single keystroke you can print the directory you see on the screen
in your choice of five print modes:
1. Regular printing in whatever mode your printer is set for with
no changes to your printer setting.
2. A "sleeve insert", which is printed on your regular printer
paper in a format that can be trimmed to a convenient size to
slip into the diskette sleeve for future reference.
3. A disk label which can be printed on the special labels that are
included with the SDL system kit. This uses compressed print
and 8 lines per inch to fit the filenames into a small space.
4. Another style of disk label printing which uses "tiny" printing
to fit even more names onto a label. Tiny print makes use of
the compressed and superscript modes that are available on Epson
compatible printers.
5. Print-to-file to save a file copy of the directory listing.
<> Very useful when using the print options is the ability to enter up
to 3 lines of titles for your sleeve inserts or labels. Two of
these lines can be customized with the setup program, and any or
all of the 3 can be specialized for any individual listing.
