- BUG FIXES
-
- DISKLIST will now run from subdirectories that have a very long
- path name. Previous versions of DISKLIST won't run under this
- condition. It blew up when it tried to find the file
- DISKLIST.PRM in the subdirectory with the long name.
-
- DISKLIST now reports the actual drive size on partitions larger
- than 67 megs. Before it would give a number like -57 million for
- the space on large drives.
-
- DISKLIST now handles error code 24 generated by some printers and
- does not abend.
-
-
- Major Enhancements to DISKLIST Version 2.50 Since Version 2.10
-
- DISKLIST now prints on Avery Laser Label Sheets #5196 and #5197.
- These labels fit 3½ and 5¼ diskettes. You can select which
- position on the Avery sheet to print on, mark positions as not to
- use, request that multiple copies of labels be printed.
-
- DISKLIST will print on plain paper, not Tyvek, disk sleeves on
- laser printers that support HP PCL5 commands. PCL5 first came
- out on LJ III printers and is now supported by other brands.
- DISKLIST uses a PCL5 command to print upside down.
-
- Six formats have been added, all for 8½ x 11 format. This gives
- a better selection of information desired and puts up to 6 times
- more file names on one page.
-
- Printer ports can be switched from LPT1: to LPT2: to LPT3: from
- the control window.
-
- The configuration menu has been expanded for you to customize
- your output better. You may print the time and date on the top,
- bottom (as is done now), or not at all. The line with total
- Space and Bytes may be omitted. These options give you more
- lines on the output for file names.
-
- You may elect to skip lines after a certain number of lines have
-
-

-
- been printed on a label. This is to prevent printing on the
- blank space between gummed labels.
-
- DISKLIST now works with LHA ver 2.10. Before it worked with ver
- 1.13c.
-
- Some other DISKLIST features that were in previous versions are:
-
- It is extensively adapted to printing on laser printers. A
- complete set of laser commands are supplied and can be edited for
- each format. DISKLIST can download user soft fonts.
-
- It has 39 formats that print from one to six columns of file
- names with options to include date, time and file size. It can
- print a border around a list to be cut out, or omit the border
- for stick on labels.
-
- It can list the files inside of ZIP, ARC, PAK, LHZ, and ZOO.
-
- There are nine date formats to choose from for the file dates.
-
- It can print on a clever diskflap for 3.5" diskettes.
- Construction of a diskflap is described in the documentation
- under the heading DISKFLAP.
