CDP (Cliff's Directory Program) is Copyright (C) 1989 by Cliff Roberson
dba GoodWare, 926 Leighton Way, Sunnyvale, CA. 94087
All Rights Reserved In the United States and Worldwide
CDP runs in less than 9000 (or 14000 with 2nd tree) BYTES !!
Other TSRs (e.g., Sidekick) may precede or follow it!!
CDP requires DOS 2.0 or higher.
CDP requires 169 (174)to start, but swaps to disk or LIM-EMS!!
With 176 KB of EMS, CDP reduces to 9000 bytes when resident.
With 128 KB, it reduces to 57000; and with 64 KB, to 103.
CDP has two hotkeys which bring it up from dormancy. The primary
hotkey (Lshift-Lshift by default), brings CDP up in the SAME
DIRECTORY AS BEFORE it went dormant. The secondary hotkey
(default Rshift-Rshift) brings it up in the CURRENT DOS DIRECTORY.
CDP has a complete set of menus for its operations, with contextual help
available for all operations (over 300 screens).
Use F1, F2, F3 for help.
F1 - contextual help
F2 - help for cursor keys, etc.
F3 - help for hot keys
The use of the menus is fairly well obvious. It is much faster to use
single keystrokes as described below. Two unusal features worth pointing
out especially are that you can run CDP with the directory tree appearing
either on the left of the screen (default) or on the right (see Z
optionjust below); and the size of the files window is adjustable (see
Scrollock).
If you have a two-color screen and have trouble seeing the cursor, see the
Y option below under SET Statements and Command Line Options.
