Your contribution will assure you a peaceful night sleep for many
years to come. Otherwise dreaded demons of the night will invade your
bedroom at midnight ruining your sleep, eventually taking over your
mind, and making you do nauseating things with food. Since the
consequences of your actions could be great, you should choose
carefully. Registered users get the latest version of the program
without the beg boxes and a guilt free conscience.
P U R P O S E
Dirman is a file and directory manager that includes Viewman, a file
viewer/browser which allows you to peruse the contents of any file.
This program was originally written to enhance my productivity at
work. Every day I have to deal with plain text files that are
downloaded from our suppliers. I have discovered after many years
that these files contain only two kinds of information, absolutely
critical and totally useless. The trick has always been to figure out
which is which. My personal PC environment at the office is Windows
for Workgroups 3.11 on a Pentium 90 with 16mb of ram. Even with this
kind of horsepower, Windows applications suck for handling plain text
files. It takes a lifetime to open a file, printing is a nightmare,
and proportional type faces screw up the formatting beyond belief. I
was tired of writing macros for Word and Excel just to be able to work
with these files, so I started this project at home in my spare time.
The first version of the program went to the office more than a year
ago. Since then, it has turned into a weekend time killer as I have
continued to find ways to enhance its capabilities. Version 1.60 is
the sixth general release of Dirman. The program has been enhanced
with many new features and has had all known bugs fixed.
L E G A L D O G M A
There is no warranty of any kind, expressed, implied, or otherwise.
The author is NOT responsible for any damage or loss caused by the use
of this program, no matter what! This program can erase files from
your disk. By using this program you agree to this and assume total
responsibility for everything (except of course for world war, floods,
and invasion by aliens from Alpha Centuri). Should you choose to
register Dirman, I assume you are doing so having tested the shareware
version and determined that it is suitable for your needs. I can not
provide a refund should you subsequently change your mind.

Dirman is a real mode DOS character based program which needs at least
256KB ram and DOS 3.3 or higher to function. It does not need, nor
does it make use of extended memory, expanded memory, a mouse, a
modem, or a beer! It supports a plenitude of video configurations and
video modes. Installation of the program requires only that you copy
the file DM.EXE to your hard drive. Actually you don't even have to
copy it to the hard drive as it will work fine from a floppy. There
are no installation programs, configuration files, DLL's, INI's, help
files, and it is 100% cholesterol free. In short, if your computer
can boot up to the DOS prompt you can probably run Dirman!
H O W T O
Assuming Dirman is installed in a sub directory that is in your path
(this really is the best place to put it) or you are logged in the sub
directory where Dirman resides, type DM and hit the <ENTER> key. A
beg box will pop up and hang out for a few seconds so you can jot down
my name and address. OK I admit it, I just like seeing my name on the
screen! Registered users do not need to know where I live so they
never suffer this indignity. In any case, hitting any key will end
this annoyance immediately and bring you to a screen similar to the
one below.

Windows 95 users will see a similar screen, except the short command
menu on the right hand side has been removed to make room for long
filenames. Below is an abbreviated example of a typical Windows 95
screen:

The Windows 95 layout displays the long filenames the same way as does
the DIR command from a Windows 95 DOS box.
Filenames that start with the "" up or "" down symbols are sub
directories. Files are displayed in the same format as the DOS DIR
command. First the 8 character Filename, the three character filename
extension, the file size, and the date and time the file was last
modified. The next four characters show the state of the "attribute"
flags for the file. DOS allows a file to have any combination of four
attributes, (A)rchive, (S)ystem (H)idden, and (R)ead Only. Dirman
displays the first letter of an attribute when its flag is set (on)
and a '-' dash if the flag is unset (off). I digress for a short
discussion of file attributes.
The (A)rchive attribute is used by backup programs to determine if the
file was changed since the last backup. If the archive attribute is
set, your backup program knows the file was modified since the last
back up. Back up programs turn off the archive attribute after it
backs up the file. DOS turns on this attribute every time it modifies
an existing file or creates a new one.
The (S)ystem attribute is reserved for special files used by your
operating system. You will find at least two system files in the
root directory of your hard drive. Do NOT mess around with these
files unless you know exactly what you are doing!
The (H)idden attribute makes the file invisible to the normal
directory commands. The DOS directory command, DIR, and most programs
do not display files or directories that have their hidden attribute
set. However, hiding a file or directory is not a great method to
keep prying eyes out of your important stuff as Dirman and most other
file management utilities have no problem seeing these files. Files
who have their Hidden attribute set may be invisible to the DOS DIR
command and other programs, but they are normal in every other
respect.
Page 4 Dirman
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
The (R)ead only attribute is probably the most useful for the majority
of us. When the Read only attribute is set, the file can not be
erased or modified by DOS or any application. The file may be used by
any program that needs to read information, but the operating system
will refuse to allow the file to be modified. Normally it is best to
set this attribute on files which rarely or never are changed. A good
example might be the COMMAND.COM file in your root directory. A bad
example might be the data base file used by your personal contact
management program.
File selection is accomplished by using the UP and DOWN arrow keys to
move the highlight cursor bar. You can also navigate through the file
list using other cursor positioning keys. PGUP and PGDN move the file
list to the previous or next screen full of files. HOME and END move
the cursor to the first and last file in the directory. CTRL HOME and
CTRL END key combinations position the cursor to the top or bottom
file on the current page.
Dirman expects you to move the highlight cursor bar to the file or sub
directory of your choice, then select a command by typing the key
associated with the command. Hit either the <F1> or <?> keys to
display a complete list of commands and the keystrokes associated with
them. Several of Dirmans commands can work with more than one file at
a time. Use the <SPACE BAR> to tag a group of files that you want to
perform some action on.
D i r m a n C o m m a n d s
<A>ttribute changes the attribute for the currently highlighted file
or a group of tagged files. A dialog box will pop up allowing you to
use the left and right cursor keys to select the attribute you want to
change. Typing the first letter of an attribute (Archive, System,
Hidden, or Read only) in the position indicated by the dialog, will
set (turn on) that attribute. Placing any other character in the
position indicated by the dialog unsets (turns off) the attribute.
<C>opy makes a new copy of the currently highlighted file or a group
of tagged files to any location you specify. The original file(s) are
unchanged and the new file(s) are identical copies. If you are
running under Windows 95 your Long Filenames are persevered. A dialog
box will pop up asking you to enter a destination. The destination
can be a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination of
the two. When you are copying a single file you may also specify a
new file name for the destination. If the file you are copying
already exists on the target drive/directory you are given the option
to abort the copy and preserve the original file, or to continue the
operation and replace the original with the new file, or cancel the
operation. When copying a group of tagged files there is also an
option to overwrite all of the destination files without additional
prompts. If you enter a bad destination, or if the destination is the
same as the source, the command will fail and you will notice a slight
tightening in your chest. This command can also be used to print
Dirman Page 5
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
plain text files. Enter the printer port (LPT1, LPT2, PRN, etc.)
instead of a filename in the dialog, and your printer will erupt in a
cacophony of action. Dirman can sense when it is copying to a file or
hardware device such as your printer. When it detects you are copying
to a hardware device it will supply a form feed at the end of each job
to kick out your final page. In this manner you can tag multiple
files using the <SPACE BAR> and print them all with one command.
<ALT_C> (Hold down the ALT key and push "C") express Change directory
jumps directly to any directory on the current drive by entering its
fully qualified pathname in the dialog. This command can save much
cursoring around if you know exactly where you want to go. Express
Change Dir assumes you will enter a pathname as an offset from the
root directory of the current drive. For example typing "FOO\BAR" or
"C:\FOO\BAR" in the dialog will produce the same result. If you
attempt to log on to a different drive using this command, the command
will fail, and your under arm hair will begin to curl due to sudden
increased odoriferous perspiration output.
<D>elete erases the currently highlighted file, sub directory, or
group of tagged files. If you attempt to delete a sub directory that
is not empty, or a file that is Read only, the command will fail and
your visual acuity will diminish due to uncontrollable crossing of
your eyes. The delete command always asks for a confirmation before
proceeding. This is a good time to go back and re-read the Legal
Dogma section.
<ALT_D> (Hold down the ALT key and push "D") unrecoverable delete
command deletes the currently highlighted file, or group of tagged
files so that they can not easily be recovered. This command works by
overwriting every byte in the file(s) to be deleted with a junk
character (10101010 binary) just before actually deleting the file(s).
Use unrecoverable delete when you want to delete file(s) that have
sensitive information you don't want anyone to ever see again. The
DOS undelete command and other similar utilities may be able to
recover the file but the reconstructed file will contain only the junk
binary character. NOTE!! "This command may NOT be 100% reliable in
every conceivable environment." A serious knowledgeable user with a
LOT of time may still be able to recover your file. This is
especially true in networked drives where the Network OS may keep
backup copies of your files around for a long time waiting for the
system administrator to come along and purge them. Please re-re-read
the Legal Dogma section.
<E>xecute the currently highlighted file. This command is inactive
unless the highlight cursor is on a filename whose extension is BAT,
COM, or EXE. A dialog will pop up allowing you to enter any command
line arguments the program needs to function. Simply hitting RETURN
at this prompt will run the program with no command line parameters.
When your program has ended you will be prompted to hit any key to
return to Dirman.
<ALT_E> (Hold down the ALT key and push "E") invokes your favorite
text editor using the highlighted filename as the last argument on the
Page 6 Dirman
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
command line. Virtually all text editors use this convention to open
a file for editing on startup. The default editor is Microsoft "EDIT"
that came as standard equipment with recent versions Microsoft DOS and
Windows 95. See the <ALT_I> and <ALT_S> commands if you want to
change the default editor to your favorite. Dirman can invoke a
Windows based text editor if you are running Windows 95, but not under
Windows 3.xx.
<F>ilespec change from the default (*.*) pattern, which displays all
files, to something that displays a subset of the files. For example
if you type "*.DOC" in the dialog, the file list will display only
files whose extension ends with ".DOC". The filespec pattern has no
effect on the display of sub directories. All sub directories are
displayed regardless of the filespec pattern. Use this command as a
work-around when you need to work with a sub directory that exceeds
Dirmans 1024 file limit. The filespec pattern stays in effect for the
remainder of the session.
<G>raft Directory Tree copies the contents of the directory the
highlight cursor is sitting on with all of the files and directories
contained therein to anywhere you specify. A dialog box will pop up
asking you to enter a destination. The destination can be a drive
letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination of the two. All
of the files and sub directories in the source directory are recreated
on the destination preserving the original directory integrity and
structure. If Dirman can not create a directory (already exists) or
runs out of disk space the command will fail, and the elastic band of
your underwear will begin to decompose into belly button lint.
<ALT_I> (Hold down the ALT key and push "I") is used to change the
name of the editor from the default (EDIT) to one of your choosing.
Enter the name of your favorite editor in the dialog and bada-da-bing
Dirman will happily use your editor for the remainder of the current
session. If your editor is not in a directory that is in your path,
you may enter the fully qualified file name in the dialog for example
"C:\BIN\EDITORS\FAVORITE". Dirman limits you to a maximum of 48
characters. Use the <ALT_S> command should you wish to make this
change permanent.
<J>ump to filename allows you to quickly get to the area in the
directory that starts with a letter you select. Hit the <J>ump to
filename key and then the first letter of the filename you want to
land on, and the cursor is placed on the first filename that starts
with that letter or the next higher letter. This command is active
only when the directory listing is sorted by filename in ascending
order.
ma<K>e creates a new directory. Type any legal directory name in the
dialog, and a new directory will be created in the currently logged
directory. A new directory can be created anywhere on any drive by
typing a fully qualified pathname in the dialog. For example, typing
"C:\KITTY\CAT" in the dialog will create a new sub directory "CAT" in
the directory "KITTY" that is one level down from the root directory
of the "C:" drive. Only one new directory level can be created at a
Dirman Page 7
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
time. If in the above example, the "KITTY" directory did not exist
the command would fail, and your left ear will generate 2cc's of ultra
fast hardening ear wax in less than 10 seconds, making your stereo
headphones monaural.
<M>ove will move the highlighted file or a group of tagged files to a
location you specify on the current drive. The original files are
GONE! If you are running under Windows 95 Long Filenames are
persevered. Move is equivalent of a file copy followed by a file
delete. Because the move command really just renames the file(s), and
doesn't actually move any of the data, it works many times faster than
a copy and delete. However the destination must be on the same drive
as the source. A dialog box will pop up asking you to enter the
destination for the file(s). You may enter either a fully qualified
pathname or a relative pathname for the destination. If you enter an
invalid destination, if the destination is the same as the source, or
if the destination is on a different drive, the command will fail and
a single strand of hair will fall out of your head.
<N>uke Tree deletes the highlighted directory. Nuke works by deleting
every file and directory contained in the highlighted directory.
Similar to the DOS DELTREE command, it is the inverse of the <G>raft
command. This is a very efficient command for eliminating all
remnants of unused programs or data. When you invoke this command you
are asked to confirm your selection. The nuke command does not pay
attention to the attributes of the file(s), and happily deletes
everything that gets in its way. Needless to say a moments
inattention with this command may make you VERY sad one day. Please
take a moment and read that dog gone Legal Dogma section again.
<P>rint makes a hard copy of the current directory listing. This
command sends a complete listing of ALL the files in the same format
as is currently being displayed on the screen to whatever is the
currently defined printer device. By default the standard printer
device is "LPT1". This can be changed to any device you like by using
the <ALT_P> change printer device command.
<ALT_P> (Hold down the ALT key and push "P") allows you to change the
printer from Dirmans default of "LPT1" to a different device or file.
You may enter the device name of any printer attached to your system,
or you can direct the output to a file by supplying a file name in the
dialog. When the target of the print command is a file, each print
job is appended to the end of the file and the final form feed is
omitted. This is a cloneable option. See the <ALT_S> command for
cloning instructions.
<Q>uit ends Dirman and leaves you in the drive / directory you are
currently viewing. See the <ESC> command to if you want to quit to
the drive / directory you were in when Dirman started.
<R>ename allows you to change the name of the currently highlighted
file or sub directory. A dialog will pop up allowing you to modify
the files current name. If you attempt to rename the file to an
existing filename the command will fail, and the acid level in your
Page 8 Dirman
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
stomach will increase by a factor of two. This command disregards
tagged files and works only on the currently highlighted file. See
the s<W>eep command for a method of renaming a group of files.
<S>ort order allows you to change the order in which the files are
displayed. The default is to display files in alphabetical order by
Filename. You can also display files in alphabetical order by file
Extension, oldest to most current Date, smallest to largest Size, by
the file attribute, or Unsorted (the natural directory order). You can
also sort the file list in reverse order by hitting the <R>everse
before selecting the first letter <F>ile, <E>xtension, <D>ate, <S>ize,
or <A>ttribute, of the sort ordering you desire. The sorting order
stays in effect for the remainder of the session. If you are running
Windows 95 sorting by <F>ilename uses the long filename. The <S>ort
order is a cloneable option. See the <ALT_S> command should you want
to change default sorting order.
The <ALT_S> (Hold down the ALT key and push "S") command "Set and Save
Preferences" allows you to customize Dirman/Viewman to more closely
meet your specific requirements. In addition to changing text colors,
you may change any of the following from their original distribution
defaults.
Dir/File sort order (Filename)
Ruler toggle (Off)
Tabs toggle (On)
Hex toggle (Off)
Wrap toggle (Off)
Tab length value (8)
7/8 Bit toggle (8)
Default editor (EDIT)
Default printer (LPT1)
Upon invoking the <ALT_S> command a menu will pop up
allowing you to select and change the colors for all of the
different text fields used in Dirman and Viewman.
Highlight the text category you want to change and hit
<ENTER>. A color selection box will pop up with the current
color for the selected text item highlighted. Use Up, Down,
Left, and Right cursor keys to select a new color and hit
<ENTER> to accept it. Hitting <ESC> cancels the change.
The display will be updated so you can get an idea of what
the new color scheme will look like. Warning, it is
possible to create some truly ugly looking screens.
If the colors get really bad select "Default Colors" from
the menu and all of the colors will change back to their
original distribution defaults. Selecting "Default Options"
from the menu sets all of the other options back to their
original distribution defaults.
Selecting the "Save Colors only" option will alter (clone)
the currently running copy of Dirman so that in all future
Dirman Page 9
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
sessions your current color scheme will be the default. If
you select "Save ALL Options" the currently running copy of
Dirman will be modified to use your current color scheme and
all of the other current settings in all future sessions.
Make sure all of these options are set to the values you
want before selecting "Save ALL Options". If you are using
a memory resident anti-virus program it may alert you that a
change is about to be made in an executable file. This is a
normal operation and you should allow it to proceed!
Selecting "Return" from the menu or hitting <ESC> will take
you back to wherever you were with all of your changes in
effect.
<SPACE_BAR> is used to tag or untag the currently highlighted file.
The <SPACE_BAR> is a toggle, tagging an untagged file and vice versa.
The right hand side of the bottom status line changes to display the
number of files and the number of bytes contained in them. Tagging
makes it possible to perform an action on an entire group of files
using a single command. Only the <A>ttribute, <C>opy, <D>elete,
<ALT_D> unrecoverable delete, <M>ove, <T>ime, and s<W>eep commands can
work on a group of tagged files. All other commands ignore the tags
and work only on the currently highlighted file.
<T>ouch file date / time allows you to modify the file creation date
and time for the highlighted file or group of tagged files. Have you
ever wondered when time began? Was it the big bang, or as written in
Genesis on the first day when God created heaven and earth? As far as
the files on your PC are concerned time officially began at the stroke
of midnight January 1, 1980.
<ALT_T> and <ALT_U> (Hold down the ALT key and push "T" or "U")
commands are used to either Tag or Untag all of the files in the
current directory.
<CTRL_T> (Hold down the CTRL key and push "T") shows file Creation,
Last Access, and Last Write times for highlighted file. This command
is available only when Dirman is running under Windows 95.
Change dri<V>e changes the currently logged drive. When you want to
work with the files on a different drive push the "V" key a dialog
will pop up asking you type the letter for the drive you want to work
with. As soon as you type in the drive letter you are logged on to
the new drive. If you type in an invalid drive letter (one that is
not available on your system) the command will fail, and your bladder
will instantly go to full capacity necessitating an immediate trip the
nearest bathroom. Use this command to navigate through all of the
drives available to your system, including networked drives, removable
hard drives, CD ROM's, floppies, ram disks, etc.
<ALT_V> (Hold down the ALT key and push "V") set Video resolution.
This command pops up a list of screen resolutions supported by your
system. Select the number corresponding to the video resolution you
want and the screen will change instantly. The <ALT_V> functions have
Page 10 Dirman
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
ONLY been tested with VGA and Super VGA display hardware. If your
computer does not have this type hardware installed proceed at your
own risk! If you have VGA hardware as a minimum you will be able to
select from three resolutions 80X25, 80X28, and 80X50 columns and
rows. If your video card is VESA compliant you may also be able to
select from some or all of the following resolutions, 80X60, 132X25,
132X43, 132X50, and 132X60 columns and rows. Dirman/Viewman
interrogates your video card and only allows you to select from the
resolutions your hardware supports.
s<W>eep allows you to run a DOS command, batch file, or a program
against a tagged file or a group of tagged files. In order to use
this command you must be familiar with command line syntax of the
program you wish to execute. When you mash on the "W" key, and you
have at least one file tagged, a dialog will pop up asking you to
enter a command to be run against the tagged file(s). Type the
command that you would enter at the DOS prompt but, use a CTRL_T
character (signifies put Tagged filename here) to mark the spot in the
command where you want Dirman to substitute the name of the tagged
file(s). You enter a CTRL_T by holding down the CTRL key and typing a
"T". For example the command to Zip a group of tagged files would
look like this:
"PKZIP -A NEWZIPFL.ZIP @"
This command will compress the tagged files into NEWZIPFL.ZIP. Note
the CTRL_T "@" character at the end of the command. Another example
is if you wanted to rename a group of files to something with the same
file extension. The following command will rename all of the tagged
files to the same old filename but with the new extension .BAC:
"RENAME @ *.BAC"
Dirman uses memory lavishly in order to get acceptable performance on
modestly powered computers. Depending on the screen resolution and
the number of files in the current directory, Dirman could be using as
much as 140K of memory. Your application must be capable of running
in whatever memory is left.
<Z>ip directory list display, allows you to view a listing of the
files that are stored in a ZIP file archive. Move the highlight
cursor to the ZIP file you are interested in and hit the "Z" key. A
directory listing all the files in that ZIP archive with information
about each file will be displayed in Viewman. See the <Z>ip command
in Viewman for instructions on how to expand and view the contents of
compressed files within the ZIP archive. ZIP files have become the
standard for archiving and reducing the size of files for transmission
by modem or floppy from one computer to another. Files stored in this
format must be expanded before they can be used. The program used to
expand ZIP files is PKUNZIP. You must have a copy of PKUNZIP on your
computer in order for Dirman and Viewman to work with ZIP files, and
it must be in a the current directory or a directory that is in your
PATH. PKZIP and PKUNZIP are available as shareware and are likely
available from the same source as the one you used to get Dirman.
This command makes a temporary file in the directory defined by your
"TEMP" environment variable or in the root directory of the current
drive when no "TEMP" environment variable is defined. The <Z>ip
command will fail if you do not have write access to the root
Dirman Page 11

_________________________________________________________________________
directory of the currently logged drive. This is often the case with
networked drives or floppies that are write protected. To avoid this
problem it is best to set up an environment variable that specifies
where you want Dirman to put any temporary files it creates. If you
include the line
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
in your autoexec.bat file, or just type it from the DOS prompt before
starting Dirman you will eliminate the problem. Substitute whatever
Drive:\directory you want to use in lieu of "C:\TEMP" in the above
example.
Use the <*> key to re-read the files from the current directory. This
command is only necessary when you are working in a multitasking
environments like, Windows, OS/2, Desqview, or on networked drives.
With these operating systems, other programs or processes can make
changes after Dirman has read the directory. It is NOT necessary to
use this command whenever Dirman is making the changes.
<ENTER> is a dual purpose command. If the highlight bar is on a
directory when you press <ENTER>, Dirman changes the directory to the
one under the highlighted bar and displays all of the files in the new
directory. In this manner it is possible to traverse through the
entire directory structure of the current drive. When the highlight
bar is on a file and you hit <ENTER>, Dirman opens the file and allows
you to peruse its contents using the file browser (Viewman).
<F1> or <?> keys will pop up a one page help screen. This serves to
remind you of what functions are available and which keys access them.
Hitting any key will turn off the beg box allowing you to actually
read the instructions (registered users do not endure this annoyance),
and hitting a key again takes you back to where you were.
<ESC> ends Dirman and drops you back to exactly where you were before
the program began. If you want to exit Dirman in the directory you
are currently viewing use the <Q>uit command.

Viewman is a full featured file browser. Viewman allows you to look
at the contents of any file on your system but does not allow you to
change the contents of those files. From Dirman if you were to
position the highlight bar on the file "README.TXT" in the "WINDOWS"
sub directory of your "C:" drive and hit the <ENTER> key, you will see
a screen that looks something like this:

The top and bottom line on the display provide information about the
file you are viewing and are more or less static. The top line shows
the fully qualified name of the file you are viewing. The bottom line
is the status line, and provides the bulk of the information you are
likely to use when viewing files. Starting from the left, the Line
number is based on the file position of the line displayed at the top
of the screen. The "+" number is the offset in characters from the
first character of each line. This is useful when displaying files
whose logical record length is longer than the width of your screen.
There are five indicators on the bottom line that show the state of
the (A)nsi, (H)tml, (7/8)bit, (T)ab expansion, and (W)rap long lines
filters. Except for (7/8)bit indicator, when the first letter is
capitalized the toggle state is true. The default settings are (a)nsi
off, (h)tml off, (8)bit on, (T)ab on, and (w)rap off. All of the
lines between the top and bottom line are the contents (Data) of the
file. Viewman is a file VIEWER, and therefore provides NO facility
for modifying files.
Dirman Page 13

_________________________________________________________________________
The easiest way to understand how Viewman works is to visualize your
monitor screen as a view port lying over top the file you are
browsing. The cursor keys control the movement of this view port
allowing you to position it anywhere you want over the file. The UP
and DOWN arrows move the screen up or down one line. PAGE UP and PAGE
DOWN move the screen one page backwards or forwards. The RIGHT and
LEFT arrows move the screen right or left ten characters at a time.
CTRL RIGHT and CTRL LEFT move the screen to the right most or the 0th
column. The HOME and END keys move the screen to the beginning or end
of the file.
V i e w m a n C o m m a n d s
<+> and <-> commands allow you to jump to a new position in the file a
number of lines before <-> or after <+> the current line. For
example, if you want to instantly jump 100 lines further into the file
push the <+> key, enter 100 into the dialog, and poof, the line at the
top of the screen is 100 lines further into the file.
The <7> and <8> filter commands determine how characters above ASCII
127 are displayed. The default <8> is to display all characters from
ASCII 0 to 255 without modification. The <7> filter strips off the
hi-bit of every character resulting in characters above ASCII 127
being displayed as their 7 bit equivalent in the range from 0 to 127.
Again if this sounds like gibberish to you don't worry. All you have
to know is this filter may enhance the readability of some files. The
status line menu will show "8bit" when the hi-bit filter is off and
"7bit" when it is on. The <7> and <8> toggles are cloneable. See the
<ALT_S> command for cloning instructions.
<A>ppend binary command copies the contents of a marked block without
any filtering and adds it to the end of a file you specify. A dialog
will pop up asking you to enter the output filename. Everything from
start of block to end of block is sent to wherever you specify in raw
form. When the output of the <A>ppend command is directed to a file
that already exists it appends the marked block to the end of the
file, otherwise a new file is created.
<ALT_A> (Hold down the ALT key and push "A") ANSI filter toggle makes
viewing files created by Windows applications using the standard
Windows ANSI character set easier to read by translating high order
ANSI characters to their DOS ASCII equivalent. ANSI characters that
do not have DOS ASCII equivalents are translated to spaces. The
status line menu will show "Ansi" when the ANSI filter is on and
"ansi" when it is off.
<B>ookmark immediately sets the screen to the point in the file
identified by the most recently set bookmark. Bookmarks are set with
the <ALT_B> set bookmark command, or as result of successful <F>ind,
e<X>act find, <ALT_F>uzzy find, or <F3> find again, commands. Viewman
remembers up to the last ten bookmark settings. Pressing <B>ookmark
repeatedly will cycle through all of the bookmarks so eventually you
Page 14 Dirman
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
will return the last one set. If no book marks are set the command is
ignored.
<ALT_B> (Hold down the ALT key and push "B") sets a bookmark in the
file at the current screen position. You can subsequently return to
this point in the file almost instantly by issuing a jump to
<B>ookmark command.
<CTRL_B> (Hold down the CTRL key and push "B") clears all bookmarks.
<C>opy moves a marked block to the Windows clipboard. Obviously if
you are not running Windows, this command will fail, and your mouse
will begin to squeak loudly. I have found this command to be most
useful, especially when I need to extract a small piece of text from a
file for inclusion to a report or Email correspondence. This command
filters out characters which confuse Windows applications and replaces
them with (.) dots. It copies everything from start block to end
block regardless of which columns are displayed on the screen. <C>opy
is limited to transferring a maximum of 32K bytes at a time. A
warning will be displayed if you try to <C>opy more than 32K and the
clipboard will contain only the first 32K of the block.
<D>ump binary command copies the contents of a marked block without
any filtering to a file you specify. A dialog will pop up asking you
to enter the output filename. Everything from start of block to end
of block is sent to wherever you specify in raw form. When the output
of the <D>ump command is directed to a file that already exists it
overwrites the file, otherwise a new file is created.
<ALT_D> and <ALT_U> (Hold down the ALT key and push "D" or "U")
commands allow for automatic scrolling of the screen up or down. Once
the command is initiated the screen scrolls in the appropriate
direction at a predetermined rate until a key other than the <+> plus,
<-> minus, or <T>urbo key is struck. The default scroll rate is
approximately 60 lines per minute. You adjust the rate of scroll by
hitting the <+> or <-> keys while the screen is scrolling. A colored
bar indicating the relative scroll speed is visible on the left hand
bottom line of the display. The scroll rate can be varied with the
<+> and <-> keys from a leisurely rate of about 40 lines per minute up
to fairly frantic 1100 LPM. However if speed is what you need,
hitting the <T>urbo key sends the scroll rate directly into warp
drive. Pushing the <T>urbo key again returns the scroll rate back to
normal. The scroll speed in turbo mode is entirely dependent on your
processor, video mode, and video card. Faster hardware provides
higher scroll rate.
<E>nd block marks the bottom line of the display as the last line of a
block. If the start block marker is not defined, <E>nd block will
define the start block marker as the first line in the file.
<ALT_E> (Hold down the ALT key and push "E") edit the file you are
currently viewing. This command starts your favorite text editor with
the file you are viewing open for editing. See the <ALT_E> command in
Dirman Page 15
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
the Dirman section for additional information.
<CTRL_E> (Hold down the CTRL key and push "E") toggles the "EBCDIC" to
"ASCII" translation filter. If you have no idea of what the heck is
an "EBCDIC" is, relax, you are in good company. I expect that 99.997%
of the population of the United States is in the same condition. On
the other hand if you work with big blue iron, this filter may well
come in handy. This command repositions the screen to the head of the
file.
<F>ind text allows you search for a string of text characters in the
file you are viewing. Searches are case insensitive and proceed from
the current top line of the screen towards the end of the file. You
are prompted to enter the text to be searched for. If the search is
successful, the record in which the text was found is highlighted and
positioned on the second from the top line of the display. The found
text is emphasized on the highlighted line. If your search is not
successful, the line number and left offset information on the status
line will be replaced by a [** Not Found **] message, and the view
port will be positioned at the end of the file. You may abort a
search in progress by hitting the <ESC> key.
<ALT_F> (Hold down the ALT key and push "F") invokes the FUZZY search
feature. This command behaves just like the <F>ind command except
Viewman uses a Soundex algorithm to find close phonetic matches for
the word you are trying to find. For instance, if you were searching
a list of names for the name "Weiner" (my personal favorite name),
Fuzzy search will result with hit's on "Weiner", "Winner", "Wiener",
"Whiner", and "Weener". Search results can on occasion be
spectacularly bizarre. Sometimes the search results may have you
shaking your head in amazement as to how any search algorithm could be
so stupid to find anything in common with the words on your screen.
On the other hand at times this algorithm fails to find some seemingly
obvious matches. English is a hellishly complex language, and this
program is just a set of computer instructions. There is no
intelligence or intuitive cognition in Viewman.
<F3> FIND AGAIN is used to search for the next occurrence of the text
found from the previous search operation. In this manner it is easy
to find each occurrence of the string "HOT DOG" in a file by hitting
<F>ind typing "HOT DOG" and hitting <ENTER>. Then use the <F3> key to
locate the instance of "HOT DOG" you want. The <F3> key uses the same
search type as was used in the previous find, <F>ind case insensitive,
find e<X>act case sensitive, or <ALT_F> fuzzy search.
<ALT_H> (Hold down the ALT key and push "H") toggles a filter that
hides HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) commands embedded in the file.
Viewman makes no attempt to format the text, it just strips out HTML
commands. This command makes it somewhat easier to read files saved
from your favorite World Wide Web browser. The status line menu will
show "Html" when the HTML filter is on and "html" when it is off.
<H>ex dump display is a toggle which when toggled ON displays 16 bytes
of the file on each line. The display format is similar to the one
Page 16 Dirman

used by the Dump command in Debug. Below is an abbreviated example of
the screen format:

This display mode is most suitable for displaying files that contain
mostly binary data and little text. If this format looks foreign to
you, don't worry you'll probably never have to use it. The LEFT and
RIGHT arrow keys are inoperative when <H>ex is on. This command
resets the view port to the head of the file. The <H>ex toggle is a
cloneable option. See the <ALT_S> command for cloning instructions.
Tab <I>nterval allows you to specify how much white space should
separate tabs. The default tab interval is 8 columns, but you may
enter any value between 2 and 80 in the dialog. This command comes in
handy when trying to line up columns in tab delimited files. Set the
tab interval to the length of the longest field in a record, and
abracadabra everything is lined up. The tab <I>nterval is a cloneable
option. See the <ALT_S> command for cloning instructions.
<ALT_I> (Hold down the ALT key and push "I") is used to change the
name of the editor to your favorite. See the <ALT_I> command in the
Dirman section for additional information.
<J>ump to absolute line number. Positions the file at the top of the
screen to a point you specify. Press the <J> key and supply a line
number you want displayed at the top of the screen. This method is
significantly faster than using the cursor keys to reach some
arbitrary point in the file.
Record <L>ength sets the maximum screen line length. This command
makes it easier to view files with fixed length records that do not
use carriage returns or line feeds as record terminators. A dialog
will pop up asking you to enter the fixed record length. Enter any
number between 2 and 1024 and the display will break on that column.
This command turns off the <W>rap toggle and resets the display to the
head of the file.
Line <N>umber toggle displays the line (record) number of each line of
the file in the left hand column. This command is not available when
the display is in the Hex mode.
Dirman Page 17
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
<ALT_N> (Hold down the ALT key and push "N") Select number to use as
the first line in the file for the <N>umber command. You can use any
value between -32768 and 32767 for the first record. This comes in
especially handy when the file you are viewing contains a few lines at
the start of the file with header information.
<P>rint sends a marked block to the printer. This command is useful
if you need hard copy for just a small piece of a large file. Viewman
issues a form feed at the conclusion of each print command to kick out
your last page. The output of this command is much the same as you
see on the screen. The output will be filtered based on the current
filter settings. For instance if you have hex mode toggled on the
output will go to the printer in hex format. The only difference
between the screen and printer output is Viewman will filter out
characters that make printers go bonkers and will replace them with
(.) dots. If you are browsing in text mode and the <W>rap is off, the
printed output will contain only the data from the columns currently
displayed on your monitor.
<ALT_P> (Hold down the ALT key and push "P") allows you to change the
printer from the default of LPT1 to a different device or file. See
the <ALT_P> command in the Dirman section for additional information.
The <R>uler toggle flips the top line of the display into a character
based ruler when in text mode looks like this:
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬10┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬20┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬30┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬40┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬50┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬60┬┬┬┬┼┬┬┬70┬┬┬┬
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
If you are in the Hex display mode the ruler will look like this:
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Offset 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 0123456789ABCDEF
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The ruler comes in especially handy for easily determining field and
record lengths. The <R>uler toggle is a cloneable option. See the
<ALT_S> command for Cloning instructions.
<ALT_R> (Hold down the ALT key and push "R") Display CR/LF in text
mode toggle. When on displays carriage return and line feed
characters on the screen. These characters are normally not displayed
in text mode. The default is not to display CR/LF's.
<S>tart block marks the top line on the display as the start of a
block. This command when used in conjunction with the <E>nd block
command make it possible to extract data from the file without having
to copy the whole file. When a block is fully defined, the text in
the block changes color to show where it starts and stops.
<ALT_S> (Hold down the ALT key and push "S") "Set and Save program
Preferences" allows you to customize Dirman. See the <ALT_S> command
Page 18 Dirman
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
in the Dirman section for additional information.
The <T>ab expansion toggle causes Viewman to insert spaces in the
line. The default tab interval is eight spaces that are set at
columns 1, 9, 17, 25, etc. When <T>ab is toggled off, tabs are
displayed as a graphic character and spaces are not inserted in the
line. Most text files display best when the <T>ab toggle is ON. You
may also use the TAB key to toggle this feature. The status line menu
will show "Tab" when the TAB filter is on and "tab" when it is off.
The <T>ab toggle is a cloneable option. See the <ALT_S> command for
cloning instructions.
<U>ndo marked block. This command undefines a marked block.
<ALT_U> (Hold down the ALT key and push "U") commands allow for
automatic scrolling of the screen up having to press any keys. See
the <ALT_D> command for additional information.
<ALT_V> set Video resolution. See the <ALT_V> command in the Dirman
section for additional information.
<W>rap controls whether long lines are broken at the edge of the
display. The default is wrap off where Viewman displays each logical
record in the file on one line of the display. A logical record ends
in either a carriage return or a line feed, or in a carriage return
line feed pair. Viewman handles logical records up to 1024 characters
in length. When you want to view the entire file without having to
scroll the display right and left, use the (W) command. When <W>rap
is ON, logical record lengths are truncated at the right edge of your
screen and, the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys are inoperative. The status
line menu will show "Wrap" when the WRAP filter is on and "wrap" when
it is off. This command resets the view port to the head of the file.
Important consumer information -> "This command is in no way
associated with loud and/or foul music". The <W>rap toggle is a
cloneable option. See the <ALT_S> command for cloning instructions.
<ALT_W> Word Wrap filter breaks long lines at word boundaries closest
to the column chosen. When activated you are given the option to set
the column at which you want the break to occur. The default line
break column is the current screen width. The status line menu will
show "Wrap" when the WORD WRAP filter is on and "wrap" when it is off.
Unlike the <W>rap command above this command wraps long lines at the
word boundary closest to the column chosen and the left and right
arrow keys remain operative.
e<X>act Find is same as the <F>ind command except that searches are
case sensitive. See the <F>ind command for additional information.
View <Z>ip file command allows you to view the contents of a
compressed file while it is still part of a ZIP archive. This command
is available only when you are viewing a ZIP directory list from
Dirman. See the <Z> command in Dirman for instructions. A dialog
will ask you for the compressed file you want to view. After typing
the filename and hitting <ENTER>, the file is decompressed and
Dirman Page 19
D I R M A N
_________________________________________________________________________
displayed on the screen. If the decompressed file is larger than the
free disk space the file will be truncated, and you may notice a sharp
pain in your pocketbook. The best cure for this ailment is more $$'s
for a larger hard drive.
<F1> or <?> keys will pop up a one page help screen. This serves to
remind you of what functions are available and which keys are to be
used to access them. Hitting any key will turn off the beg box
allowing you to actually read the instructions (registered users do
not endure this annoyance), and hitting a key again takes you back to
where you were.
<ESC> ends Viewman and drops you back to Dirman in exactly the same
position where you were before you hit the <ENTER> key. If you have
used the <D>ump or <A>ppend commands to create a new file or printed
to a file with the <P>rint command in the directory you are currently
browsing, you should use the <*> re-read directory command when you
return to Dirman.
O T H E R C O O L S T U F F
Dirman is designed to work with color displays which are at least 80
characters wide by 25 lines high. I have done some limited testing
with Monochrome displays, and everything seems to work OK, but due to
the limited choice of colors (2), the contrast of highlighted text in
some instances may be difficult to read.
If you have a utility that changes the width or length of your screen,
Dirman will make use of the additional lines and columns. I have
tested Dirman in the following resolutions using a variety of VGA and
Super VGA video cards: 80x25, 80x28, 80x43, 80x50, 80x60, 100x30,
100x60, 132x22, 132x25, 132x43, 132x44, 132x50, and 132x60.
You can browse a file in Viewman directly from the DOS prompt by
putting an unambiguous filename on the command line when you start
Dirman. For example, "DM C:\WINDOWS\README.TXT" will bypass Dirman
and take you directly to Viewman with the file readme.txt ready to
peruse. Note: There must be a space between DM and the Filename.
Windows 95 users may make a shortcut of Dirman on the desktop and drag
and drop a file or directory from the explorer on it to invoke Dirman
with that file or directory displayed. You also may want to consider
making a shortcut of Dirman in your "\WINDOWS\SENDTO" directory.
Putting a shortcut here will make Dirman an option of the SENDTO menu
when you right click a file. I have found these two tips to be pretty
dog-gone handy!
Enjoy!
