IMD v1.10
DOS Image Directory utility
Freeware, copyright (c) April 12, 1996

Overview:
~~~~~~~~~
IMD displays a "DIR" directory type file listing of all specified files,
and, in addition, includes size and color information for every image
file which it recognizes. IMD recognizes wBMP, GIF, JPG, PCX and PNG.
IMD versions 1.10 and above also identify nearly two dozen archive formats
(see below).
Usage:
~~~~~~
Usage is pretty straightforward, just enter "IMD" followed by the file or
file specification you wish to list.
To suppress line wrapping of 4DOS/ NDOS descriptions, simply add "/R" to the
command line (just as you would with 4DOS).
Examples:
~~~~~~~~~
IMD a:
IMD c:\dls\*.*
IMD amygrant.jpg
IMD a:\mariah*.gif
IMD d:\gifs\*.png
IMD a: >giflist.txt
IMD g: /r >piclist.txt
IMD a: |list /s
Technical notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMD will properly expand DOS wildcards (? and *), as implied in the above
examples.
The output of IMD may be redirected to a file or printer, or piped to
another program, such as Vern Buerg's "LIST" utility. (See the last example
above for how to accomplish the former.)
Image formats:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMD currently supports GIF, JPeg/ JFIF, PCX, PiNG and Windows BMP image
files. Information for some formats is incomplete, since I was unable to
find comprehensive and lucid documentation for any format besides PiNG.
Problem reports are welcome, and lucid documentation is even more welcome!
Archive formats:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMD currently identifies files made with the following archivers:
ACB (not reliably),
AIN,
ARJ,
CODEC,
HA,
HAP,
HPACK,
HYPER,
JRC,
LARC,
LIM,
LZH,
