1) DISKLIST can now create a Disk Catalog,

4) Finely adjust the left margin when printing on Avery labels.
5) Set the last drive letter - allows DISKLIST to run on a LAN.
6) Automatically read a title line from a disk.
7) Print multiple lines of text from a file
8) Deselect all DISKLIST data including file directory data.

in the section titled NEW FEATURE DESCRIPTION. They are not in
DISKLIST.DOC.
BUG FIXES
DISKLIST will now run from subdirectories that have a very long
path name. Previous versions of DISKLIST won't run under this
condition. It blew up when it tried to find the file
DISKLIST.PRM in the subdirectory with the long name.
DISKLIST now reports the actual drive size on partitions larger
than 67 megs. Before it would give a number like -57 million for
the space on large drives.
DISKLIST now handles error code 24 generated by some printers and
does not abend.
Major Enhancements to DISKLIST Version 2.50 Since Version 2.10
DISKLIST now prints on Avery Laser Label Sheets #5196 and #5197.
These labels fit 3½ and 5¼ diskettes. You can select which
position on the Avery sheet to print on, mark positions as not to
use, request that multiple copies of labels be printed.
DISKLIST will print on plain paper, not Tyvek, disk sleeves on
laser printers that support HP PCL5 commands. PCL5 first came
out on LJ III printers and is now supported by other brands.
DISKLIST uses a PCL5 command to print upside down.
Six formats have been added, all for 8½ x 11 format. This gives
a better selection of information desired and puts up to 6 times
more file names on one page.
Printer ports can be switched from LPT1: to LPT2: to LPT3: from
the control window.
The configuration menu has been expanded for you to customize
your output better. You may print the time and date on the top,
bottom (as is done now), or not at all. The line with total
Space and Bytes may be omitted. These options give you more
lines on the output for file names.
You may elect to skip lines after a certain number of lines have
-2-
been printed on a label. This is to prevent printing on the
blank space between gummed labels.
DISKLIST now works with LHA ver 2.10. Before it worked with ver
1.13c.
Some other DISKLIST features that were in previous versions are:
It is extensively adapted to printing on laser printers. A
complete set of laser commands are supplied and can be edited for
each format. DISKLIST can download user soft fonts.
It has 39 formats that print from one to six columns of file
names with options to include date, time and file size. It can
print a border around a list to be cut out, or omit the border
for stick on labels.
It can list the files inside of ZIP, ARC, PAK, LHZ, and ZOO.
There are nine date formats to choose from for the file dates.
It can print on a clever diskflap for 3.5" diskettes.
Construction of a diskflap is described in the documentation
under the heading DISKFLAP.
