- READ.ME FILE FOR DOUBLEDIR RELEASE 2.0 (4/87)
-
- The following files should be in this archive:
-
- * files for DoubleDir --
-
- DD.EXE DoubleDir executable.
- DD.DOC User Guide.
- READ.ME This file.
-
- This version has the following changes over version 1.5 (the last major
- release):
-
- 1) There is a new Sort function - sort by size, date, extension, name
- 2) There is a new Reverse function - reverses sort order
- 3) Will use whatever screen colors were current on startup. If you
- use ANSI.SYS to change your default colors, DD will use them.
- 4) Move is much more powerful, and easier to use. It subsumes the old
- Rename function, which has been eliminated.]
- 5) The two directories are compared, and files with identical entries
- are marked with a vertical bar. Files with the same name but
- differing in other aspects are marked with a horizontal bar.
- 6) The input handling (where you are prompted for filenames) is now much
- better. Pressing Esc will cancel any input function. Unfortunately,
- DOS command line enhancers (like DOSEDIT) are now bypassed. As
- partial compensation, F3, PgUp, and UpArrow all recall the previous
- command line for editing.
- 7) The EGA mode is not reset to 25 lines on exit unless it was 25 lines
- on entry.
- 8) The cursor behaves itself better. It is still not perfect (alas).
- 9) Various cosmetic changes - the menu is in reverse video, etc.
-
- * Other goodies to enhance DoubleDir performance (not required) --
-
- ANSI43.SYS An ANSI driver to support the EGA in 43-line mode. All
- DOS functions (including CLS) support 43 lines when this
- driver is used.
- 25.COM puts EGA in 25-line mode
- 43.COM puts EGA in 43-line mode
-
-
- This archive may be distributed freely, but please keep all the above files
- intact. Distribute it as DD20.ARC to distinguish it from older versions.
-
- If you use this program, send me $15 (see address below). This
- will help me make further enhancements. Thanks to those who have
- written with suggestions, they are always welcome.
