Subject: Slipcover, floppy disk cover label utility
Date: 1 Sep 88 17:00:51 GMT
Summary: slipcovr.arc, floppy disk cover label utility
Approved: dhesi@bsu-cs.UUCP
[Received via uunet!dalcsug!haviland.]
Nightowl Slipcover is a utility that will scan a disk in either drive A
or B and print a listing of the directory which may then be cut out and
inserted in the sleeve with the disk for easy checking of the files on
that disk. The user can choose whether or not to print hidden files
and/or subdirectories.
This version allows for printers which may not print the upper 128
extended ASCII characters. I hope it is useful to people, and that they
will do the honorable thing and pay for it... I don't just do this for
my health. Thanks.

When invoked without parameters, this program simply cleared the
screen and exited without giving any message at all. This may be
because I don't have a printer connected. Invoked as "slipcovr h" it
produced a glaringly bright help screen. It wants to print straight to
the printer.
Programs ought really to be willing to write to standard output or to a
file, since you will often want to manually edit the output to add or
delete info before printing the disk label.
