│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ What Is DD? ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD is a replacement for the DOS "DIR" command. It will display files in
one, two, three, four, or six columns, sorted, and in user-configurable colors.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Registration ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD is no longer "FREEWARE". I have put many hours of work into this
project, and I feel that it's worth the small registration fee. Please see
CONQUEST.REG for registration information.
DD IS FULLY OPERATIONAL IN ITS UNREGISTERED STATE.

│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Hardware/Software Requirements & Limitations ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD requires DOS v2.11 or higher, and approximately 150k of free RAM. It is
currently limited to 1750 files per directory. If you have a directory with
more than 1750, only the first 1750 will be shown. I don't forsee this to be a
problem, since almost NO ONE will have that many files in a single directory.

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
For a complete listing of DD's features, see COMPARE.TXT which is included
in the archive.

│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Installation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Copy DD.EXE into a directory that is listed in the PATH statement of your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. DD's default values will suffice for most users, but if you
wish to customize your copy, run "DD /CFG".
NOTE: If, when you run DD, it reports a DOS version that is incorrect, check
SETVER to see if DD.EXE is listed, and remove it. (See your DOS
manual for instructions on how this is done.)

│ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ Command Line Options ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DD's default file specification is '*.*'. But, you can specify a
different one on the command line if you wish. DD will accept up to 25
different file specifications. All command-line options override any settings
that were made using DD's configuration program. For help with DD's command-
line options, type "DD /?".
