- *SETUP HELP
-
- *SNOW
- If your monitor "flickers" annoyingly when D is run, you should enable
- this option to supress the flickering. This option is only valid for
- the DOS-only version of D; it is ignored for the OS/2 protected and
- family mode versions. If the /F command line switch is used when
- executing D, the opposite of this option will be used.
-
- *FOUR COL
- This option controls the format of the output. The sample output
- demonstrates the "4-column" form of the display. If you set this
- option to "N", files will be displayed one-per-line, and the display
- will include the file dates, times, and any attributes. If the
- /W command line switch is used when executing D, the display will
- always reflect the opposite of this option.
-
- *MONO
- D will use the equipment flag of your computer to determine whether or
- not you have a color monitor, and will adjust its display accordingly.
- You can force the display to appear in monochrome regardless of your
- hardware by using this option. Use of the /M command line switch when
- executing D will toggle whatever setting is chosen here. Note that D
- keeps two sets of attribute tables; one for color, and one for mono.
- When this switch is changed, the appropriate table is displayed, and
- the sample output is updated accordingly.
-
- *SORTS
- These five fields control the order in which the displayed files are
- sorted, in descending order of priority. The values for the options
- are:
- 0 = No sort 1 = Sort by filename
- 2 = Sort by extension 3 = Sort by file size
- 4 = Sort by file date 5 = Sort by file time
-
- If any of the fields is a zero, all following sort fields are ignored.
- Also, if any command line switches pertaining to sorting are used when
- D is executed, they take precedence, and this table is ignored.
-
- *COLORS
- This field specifies the background color for the specified text.
- Color values are as follows (add 8 for "bright" colors). Note that
- "bright" values used as background colors may cause the text to blink.
-
- 0 = Black 1 = Blue 2 = Green 3 = Cyan
- 4 = Red 5 = Magenta 6 = Brown 7 = White
-
- Color monitors:
-
- Note that bright black is grey, and bright brown is yellow.
-
- Monochrome monitors:
-
- Only 0 and 7 are valid colors. Add 1 for underlining.
