Disk Man vers. 1.0 by Greg Cunningham 08-Jun-87
Many operations refined for speed and size.
Notes on use.
When using interlace, run Disk Man and move the mouse to lower half
of screen before the windows start to open (but only if you want it
to open full);
All action is relative to the highlighed directory, which can be
changed by file selection,slide bar adjustment,title bar hit,
window sizing or moving.
The 'A' & 'B' in the directory string gadgets highlight to show which
directory is the current operating directory for all buttons. which
means if 'B' is highlighted and you hit COPY or MOVE, all of the
highlighted files in the 'B' dir will go to the 'A' dir and
vice versa..
operations in one window will not unhighlight files in the other.
during multi-file operations, selecting a button aborts
further operation, leaving remaining files highlighted.
