MASDIR v4.3 by Bob Stephan and Moby Disk REGISTRATION $
MASTER DIRECTORY STEPHAN
The main enhancement is printing directory labels for 3.5"
disks. This is controlled by the 3 and 5 options--3 for
3.5" disks and 5 for 5.25" disks. On the command line you
can enter either /3 or /5 to prepare SDL to print the style
of label you want. The Print Options menu is brought up by
entering either P or R from the menu, or /P or /R on the
command line. From this menu you can select, or change your
selection, by pressing either 3 or 5 as appropriate. The
default 3.5" disk form depth is set for the 2-3/4" labels
that wrap around the top of the disk. The setup program
permits setting it for the 2" labels that do not wrap. The
default is set for the 5.25" labels, so use the 3 or /3
option to get 3.5" labels, or change it with SDLSETUP.

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.
*
To use SDL simply copy SDL.COM to the disk and/or directory
in which your other DOS commands and utilities are kept.
Then use SDL in the same way you use DIR.
*
SDL is used very much like DIR. It takes the same path and
file specifications, but it presents a much more readable
listing. By using 2, 4, or 6 columns of file names instead
of one, it lists many more files on one screen. If the
screen becomes full, it automatically pauses. You can
immediately shift to a different number of columns to see
more files on the screen, exit if you have seen enough, or
continue with the listing.
*
SDL can be used in menu mode. Enter SDL with your filespec
just like DIR, then make your selections from the menu at
the bottom of the screen.
*
SDL also has many options that can be entered on the command
line in the usual fashion using / as a "switch" or option
indicator.
*
As soon as you find the options that you like, you can
customize your copy of SDL with the SDLSETUP program. We
have tried to configure SDL the way we believe most users
would like it, but you might want to change it for your own
use. If you would like one or more of the defaults to work
differently, run SDLSETUP.
*
The printing capabilities of SDL are most useful and
remarkably easy to use.
