DataPage Maker(tm) : a Web DataPage creation utility.
DataPage Maker(tm) - DIR (DPM-DIR), Version 1.2, transforms
disk file directory information into data files which can be
displayed by a variety of applications.
1. Spreadsheet files are formatted to function as Spreadsheets when
using any of the modern spreadsheet applications. The directory data
of the specified group of files is converted to a Tab-Delimited Text File,
with a 'header' row. These type files are easily imported into a spread-
sheet program.
2. Web Browser files are formatted to function as HomePages on the
World-Wide Web (WWW) and consist of HyperText Markup Language
(HTML) that encapsulates the directory data of the specified group of
files.
3. Custom Apps may be activated in order to display the directory data
of the specified group of files. The NotePad (c:\windows\notepad.exe)
is a good example of a 'custom app'.

Basic(tm) 4.0 (32 bit version) and requires Visual Basic's Run-Time
