- PDIR stands for "Primitive DIRectory" and can only do one thing:
- display the current directory. It will display all files on the
- current drive in the current user area.
-
- The display is fast because it is unsorted and contains no size
- information. This of course means a step backward and puts it
- on the same level as the built-in DIR command of CP/M, but for
- a quick check of a disk it is ideal, especially since displaying
- and sorting very large directories takes quite some time.
-
- Another use would be in an outrageously large system where the
- directory does not fit in RAM (yes, that IS possible!)
