- VFILER 1.7 by Richard Conn
-
- VFILER is a screen-oriented file manipulation utility. Following
- in the footsteps of SWEEP, CLEAN, and DISK, VFILER performs the same
- fundamental functions, but adds screen-oriented displays and manipulation
- to it, giving a more user-friendly interface in my opinion.
-
- VFILER must be installed for a user's terminal. To do this, edit
- VFILERSC.ASM, follow the directions contained therein, and set up this
- file to support your CRT's clear screen, goto xy, and clear to end of line
- functions. Once done, assemble VFILERSC, patch it into VFILER by using
- DDT (I and R commands, with no offset for R), and then save the result.
- VFILER now is installed to run under CP/M.
-
- If the user is running ZCPR2, he should now run GENINS on VFILER,
- do a normal installation, and write out the result. VFILER will take advantage
- of the special features of ZCPR2 if so installed.
-
- When VFILER is invoked, it displays a screen (up to 64) files to the
- user with an arrow. The user may use the Word Star cursor movement keys
- (^E for up, ^X for down, ^D for right, ^S for left) to move the cursor
- to point to a desired file. Typing V will view the file on the CRT, P
- will print it on the printer, C will copy it, D will delete it, etc.
- See the command summary built into VFILER.
-
- VFILER knows all about the DU and DIR (if installed for ZCPR2) forms.
- Under CP/M or ZCPR2, the DU form may be used. For example, in response to
- the Login command (L), the user may type any of the following:
-
- A <-- log into Disk A, Current User
- 5 <-- log into Current Disk, User 5
- A5 <-- log into Disk A, User 5
- wordst <-- log into named dir (under ZCPR2)
-
- The entries may or may not be followed by a colon, as the user desired
- (i.e., 'A' and 'A:' mean the same thing).
