-
- The program includes the following utilities:

- is automatically paused for every screen. The colors used may be
- changed by the user.

-
- - Display three variants of ASCII-tables:
- w/o colorchart, normal and with controlcode names
- - Allows the user to change system speed by changing the DRAM refresh
- rate. Also allows user to change videomode and cursor shape.
- - List files through size, date or attribute filters. Allows the user
- to, for example, list files made since yesterday or writeprotected
- files larger than 111268 bytes.
- - Optionally shows file attributes and date using litteral month.
- This means that a file may be displayed like this
- xdir.exe 77446 12JUN92 12:45 --ra (--ra means readonly+archive)

- (i.e. -a) and directory aliases allowing quick access to any
- directory. XDIR also automatically change the current working
