DIR.LST and BLT.LST Editor
Version 1.00
Copyright 1989 by Scott Swaine.
DISCLAIMER:
----------
You may copy and distribute this software freely in it's original
unmodified form and such the no monetary action is involved.
I make no claims that this program will work in the manner desired by
the consumer, other than it did what *I* wanted it to do, in my
environment. I will not be responsible for any losses resulting,
either directly or indirectly, from the use or misuse of this
software.
DESCRIPTION:
-----------
This is a very simple little program to allow you some way of editing
the DIR.LST and BLT.LST control files. It is run by simply typing
it's name at the command prompt, without parameters, and it will ask
you which file type to edit. Choose from the two selections and then
answer the prompts for the source and destination filenames. It then
will display the existing data, and prompt you for new data. You may
press ENTER to keep the data for the current prompt the same as
before, or enter new data. By typing EXIT, you will exit this
function back to the main screen. Typing EXIT prior to the actual
end of the file data will truncate the file to that which you have
previously entered (deleting any more entries in the file). It will
automatically continue on past the end of the existing file's data to
add on to it. When adding on to the file, pressing ENTER on all
prompts will not add a new entry, but instead move you past it to the
end of the screen. Do not enter an entry with a blank pathname, DIRn
filename/path or sort type. The description entry may be blank if
desired. The only edit key is your backspace key, so type carefully!
To exit the program, press ESC at the main screen.
See? I told you it was simple! Maybe next time you'll believe me!
This program uses ANSI screen control codes, so you'll need something
akin to a statement like "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS" in your CONFIG.SYS file,
and boot the computer like this.
That's about the size of it!
