- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- DD is a replacement for the DOS "DIR" command. It will display files in
- one, two, three, four, or six columns, sorted, and in user-configurable colors.

- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- DD is no longer "FREEWARE". I have put many hours of work into this
- project, and I feel that it's worth the small registration fee. Please see
- CONQUEST.REG for registration information.
-
- DD IS FULLY OPERATIONAL IN ITS UNREGISTERED STATE.

- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- DD requires DOS v2.11 or higher, and approximately 100k of free RAM. It is
- currently limited to 1000 files per directory. If you have a directory with
- more than 1000, only the first 1000 will be shown. I don't forsee this to be a
- problem, since almost NO ONE will have that many files in a single directory.

- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Copy DD.EXE into a directory that is listed in the PATH statement of your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. DD's default values will suffice for most users, but if
- you wish to customize your copy, type "DD /CFG".

- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- DD's default file specification is '*.*'. But, you can specify a
- different one on the command line if you wish. DD will accept up to 25
- different file specifications.

- Examples:
-
- DD *.BAT List all .BAT files in the current directory.
- DD A: List all files on diskette in drive A:
- DD C:\DOS List all files in DOS directory, on drive C:
