   If you're like most computer users, you've probably got stacks full of floppy
disks.  Maybe you made some cryptic notations on the disk labels, but you
probably still have trouble finding which disk a given file is on.

   Of course, the DISK INDEXER program on the Best Of Big Blue Disk (free with
all new subscriptions) helps you index your disk collection, but wouldn't it
also be helpful to have a list of the files on each disk right on the disk label
so that you can find what you're looking for by flipping through your disk
collection?  Sure it would, and that's what DIRECTORY LABEL PRINTER (LDIR for
short) is for.

   Just run it, select what drive you'll be reading disk information from (A or
B), insert the disk to generate a label from, type in the name of the disk as
you wish it to appear on the label, then LDIR goes to work and reads the disk's
directory.  A menu of printers supported by the program is then given; choose
the one best matching yours, get it ready to print (onto labels or plain paper),
and press a key to start printing.

   Once a label has printed, you can choose to print the same one over again by
selecting another printer type from the menu (if the first one came out looking
funny, maybe you got the printer type wrong; try a different one), or use other
menu choices to go back and read another disk, or exit the program.  If you've
swapped disks, be sure to re-insert BIG BLUE DISK before you exit.

   To run this program outside BIG BLUE DISK, type: ^1LDIR^0.
