StupenDOS Copyright 1988,1989,1990 By Douglas Hay All Rights Reserved Created By Douglas Hay Eclipse Technologies 7733 N. 80th Street Milwaukee, WI 53223 New features and improvements SD can now display 2 directories simultaneously. Press ALT W to open a new window. Each window is treated separately. You can copy or move files between the different windows. The window sizes are fully adjustable. Use the TAB key to change windows. SD Now supports highlighted background colors on EGA and VGA monitors. You are able to have colors you may have never seen before! Try adjusting the mainscreen background color in the change color option in the setup pull down menu. SD now has much enhanced mouse usage. When a mouse driver is installed, error messages allow mouse usage. The mouse tries to automatically locate you where it thinks your next move will be. Shadowed pull down menus are now used. Since the shadow is black, if you use black as the background color, you may have a hard time seeing the shadows. The pull down menus have been redone. The Tree pull down menu is gone. The tree options are now in the MORE pull down menu. There is a new ZIP window that has options for working with .ZIP files. Many new tagging options have been included. The PKZIP and PKUNZIP windows have been redone and made more powerful. A wipe directory option has been added to the tree display. Nearly all user suggested options have been added. SD now stores it's setup information at the end of the SD.EXE file so it is compatible with the PKWARE compress EXE program. This allows the SD.EXE file to be a compressed file that expands into memory when run. PAGE 1 SD.EXE is a shareware product. If you find SD.EXE to be fast and easy to use, a registration of $35.00 is suggested. With each registration of $35, you will receive the next update of SD.EXE free of charge. Please mention any features you would like added to SD, and the version you are currently using. Wisconsin residents please add 5% sales tax ($1.75). Please support the shareware concept so that more programs like this can be made available at a reasonable cost. The shareware concept allows you to try the software before you buy it.

To tag or untag a file, press Enter. You can also press SPACE. Pressing Enter on a subdirectory will change to that subdirectory. To tag a subdirectory (the only reason to do this is to change its attribute or name) you must press the SPACE bar. To select an option such as DELETE or HELP simply press the appropriate function key. If no mouse is installed, the column to the right of where the files are displayed contains helpful information. The highlighted letter is the shortcut key for that function. From DOS, you may type SD or you may specify the filespec. To display only .BAT files, you would type SD *.BAT. To use the Pull Down Menus, press the TAB key, LEFTARROW, RIGHTARROW, or ALT + the capital letter on the top of the screen. Arrow to the desired item, and press Enter to execute that option. If you wish to toggle the value (like in the sort menu), press the Space bar. Use the Esc key to exit from pop up windows or sub menus. Press F10 to display the SD help screen for quick help. SD does not limit the number of files you can read off the disk. The number of files read is only limited by the amount of available memory. A typical 640K machine with no TSR's can read several thousand files per directory. MOUSE To tag a file, locate the mouse on top of that file and press the leftmost mouse button. The leftmost mouse button always acts the same as Enter. The rightmost mouse button always acts as Esc. If you have a 3 button mouse, the middle button acts the same as the rightmost button. To change to a different subdirectory, locate on top of that subdirectory and click the leftmost button. When a mouse is installed, a mouse menu appears to the right of where the files are displayed. Clicking on one of these items is the same as pressing the appropriate function key(s). To tag a directory, click immediately to the left of the filename. To use the pull down menus, click on the menu item desired on the top row of the screen. Once a menu is displayed, click on the item you wish to change. PAGE 7 To display the available CTRL and ALT options, hold down the ALT or the CTRL key for about 2 seconds. A menu will appear. ALT KEYS Alt A - Change the tagged file(s) attributes. Alt C - Clear all file(s) tags. Alt D - Display DOS pull down menu. Alt G - Display tagged or current Graphics file(s) with .GIF extension. Alt H - Display a help screen. Alt M - Display More pull down menu. Alt N - New directory. (Refind if a new floppy was inserted.) Alt P - Display setuP pull down menu. Alt S - Display Sort pull down menu. Alt T - Display Tag pull down menu. Alt U - Unzip a zip file. Alt V - View a zip file or self extracting zip file. Alt W - Open or close a file window. Alt X - Display Exit pull down menu. Alt Z - Make a ZIP file. Alt F4 - Delete tagged files without confirmation. CTRL KEYS Ctrl C, Ctrl Break - Exit to dos. QUICK KEYS C - Copy the tagged file(s). D - Delete the tagged file(s). H - Help screen. M - Move the tagged file(s). N - New directory. (Refind if a new floppy was inserted) R - Reread the tree structure of the hard disk. S - Sort files. T - Display the tree structure of the hard disk (Use SD.CFG file). U - UNZip menu, for extracting PKWARE's .ZIP files. V - Change drive and/or directory. X - Execute the highlighted file. Y - tYpe the highlighted file. Z - Zip menu, for creating PKWARE's .ZIP files. / - Locate a file. @ - Make a list file. PAGE 8 SPECIAL MOUSE ITEMS The mouse works just about everywhere. The "mouse menu" is located to the right of the file list. You can click on any of these items instead of using the pull down menus. PGUP - Click on the bar above the file list to view the previous page. PGDN - Click on the bar below the file list to view the next page. UPARROW - Click on the arrow above the file list on the left side to scroll the file list down. DOWNARROW- Click on the arrow below the file list on the left side to scroll the file list up. To go to the middle of the file list, click on the vertical bar to the left of the file list, near the middle of the screen. You can quickly view the file list by clicking on different spots to the left of the file list. Be sure the mouse is in column zero. Clicking near the bottom of the screen will locate you near the bottom of the file list. PULL DOWN MENUS Use the RIGHTARROW or LEFTARROW to pop up the pull down menus. You may also use Alt + D,S,T,M,F,Z,P,X to bring up a specific menu. The menu displayed at the top of the screen has one capital letter in each word. Press Alt + the capital letter to pop up that menu. If you have a mouse, click on the word on the top of the screen, and that menu will pop up. Once a menu is displayed, click on the item you would like to modify. In the setup window, the items are toggled. In most other windows, the item you click on will be executed. PAGE 9 DOS MENU ITEMS COPY (DOS MENU) Copy works similarly to the DOS copy command. The copy function key (F1) will only appear if there are files tagged. Pressing F1 will ask you where you want to copy the tagged files to. To copy the tagged files to drive A:, press F1 or C and then type "A:" and press Enter. To copy the tagged files to the \WORD directory, press F1 or C and then type "\WORD" and press Enter. If you are going to copy the tagged files to a different directory, on the same disk drive, you may use the tree function. After tagging the desired files, press F1 or C. Then press F2 to display the tree structure of the current drive. Arrow to the directory where you want to copy the files to, and press Enter. If the destination disk is full, SD will ask you if you would like to continue copying the remaining files. You may insert a different disk at this time if you wish. Pressing Esc will abort the copy process. If you wish to abort a copy, press Esc. If you have 2 file windows open, and you wish to copy files to the other window, this option will be displayed in the copy window. You can press F1 to copy to the other window. If both file windows are on the same drive and in the same directory, a copy would not be legal since you cannot copy a file onto itself. MOUSE If you want to copy the tagged files to a floppy disk drive, simply click on the desired item in the mouse menu (COPY A: etc.). To copy to a certain subdirectory, click on "Dos" in the pull down menu, click on "Copy", and then type in the desired drive and/or directory to copy to, and press Enter. To use the tree function, instead of typing in the directory to copy to, click on the tree display line. Then select the directory to copy to by clicking on the directory in the tree display. If you don't want SD to overwrite existing files, there is an option for this in the setup menu. If you want SD to see if sufficient disk space is available on a floppy disk before a copy or move, there is an option for this in the setup menu. MOVE (DOS MENU) Move works the same as copy, except that after the files are copied, they are deleted. If you wish to abort a move, press Esc. PAGE 10 DELETE TAGGED (DOS MENU) Delete erases tagged files. To abort the delete process, press Esc at any time. Mouse users will be asked for confirmation. SHORTCUTS Pressing ALT F4 deletes the tagged files without asking for confirmation. MOUSE Click on "Dos" in the pull down menu. Click on "Delete tagged". DELETE - GLOBAL DELETE *.BAK (DOS MENU) This option deletes all .BAK files from the entire disk. DELETE - LOCAL DELETE *.BAK (DOS MENU) This option deletes all .BAK files from the current directory. DELETE - SPECIFY FILES TO DELETE (DOS MENU) This option deletes the specified filespec from the entire disk. Extreme caution should be used when using this option. PAGE 11 CHANGE DRIVE and/or DIRECTORY (DOS MENU) To change the drive and or directory SD is currently in, press F5 or V or use the DOS pull down menu item. A window will open and ask what drive and/or directory to change to. Enter the information the same way that you would from the DOS prompt. If you have been to other drives or directories while running SD, a menu will appear with the directories you have previously been in. You can then modify these items if necessary, or simply use the arrow keys to select the entry you wish to change to and press ENTER. You may also save these item to disk for future recall by pressing F1. SHORTCUTS If the subdirectory you wish to change to is a subdirectory of the directory you are currently in, you may use the arrow keys to highlight that subdirectory. Then press Enter to change to that subdirectory. You may also use the tree command to quickly change directory. Press T to invoke the tree command. A listing of all the subdirectories on the disk will appear. Highlight the subdirectory you would like to change to and press Enter. MOUSE To change to a subdirectory of the current directory, click on the subdirectory you wish to change to. If you want to change to a different disk drive, you may click on that selection in the mouse menu, if it exists. Click on the "tree display" entry in the MORE pull down menu. Click Click on the text of the subdirectory you would like to change to. PAGE 12 TYPE FILE (DOS MENU) This option "TYPE"s the highlighted file. This is the same as the DOS TYPE command. TYPE is not the best program ever written for displaying files. If you have a better program, you may enter this in the SETUP window. Your program will then be invoked instead of TYPE. Enter this program in the SETUP - List file area. MOUSE Click on the "Dos" pull down menu. Then click on "tYpe file". TYPE ALL TAGGED (DOS MENU) This option "TYPE"s all tagged files. See TYPE FILE for more information. EDIT FILE (DOS MENU) This option "TYPE"s the highlighted file. This is the same as the DOS TYPE command. TYPE is not the best program ever written for displaying files. If you have a better program, you may enter this in the SETUP window. Your program will then be invoked instead of TYPE. Enter this program in the SETUP - Edit file area. MOUSE Click on the "Dos" pull down menu. Then click on "Edit file". EDIT ALL TAGGED (DOS MENU) This option "TYPE"s all tagged files. See EDIT FILE for more information. PAGE 13 MAKE DIRECTORY (DOS MENU) Enter the directory name you wish to create. REMOVE DIRECTORY (DOS MENU) Enter the name of the directory you wish to remove. If you highlight the directory, SD will enter the name for you. RENAME FILE or DIRECTORY (DOS MENU) Highlight the file of directory you wish to rename. Then select reName from the DOS menu. Then enter the new name and press ENTER. PAGE 14 SORT MENU The files can be displayed 9 ways. By Name, Extension, Size, Date and Time (ascending or descending), or they can be displayed Unsorted. Press ALT S to bring up the sort menu. Then press the highlighted letter of the sort method you prefer. To toggle the sort order in the pull down menu, press the SPACE bar. A check mark appears next to the current sort method. You can select the default sort in the setup window. This is the sort method used when SD is first run. SHORTCUT There are several shortcuts built into the sort function. Command Shortcut Key Invoke SORT S (ort) Sort by Name N (ame) Sort by Extension E (xtension) Sort by Size S (ize) Sort by Date and Time D (ate) Do not sort U (nsorted) To sort by size, you press S and then S again to Sort by Size. MOUSE Click on "Sort" . If you click on the sort direction (A-Z, Z-A, 0-9, 9-0), the direction will change. If you click on Name, Extension, Date / time, Size, or Unsorted, this will re-sort the files. PAGE 15 TAG MENU TAG ALL FILES (TAG MENU) Tag all files displayed. (Does not tag directories) CLEAR ALL TAGS (TAG MENU) Clear all tags. (Does clear directories tags) MODE (TAG MENU) When tagging by name or size, etc., you can either tag files or clear files. This is controlled by how the MODE is set. Set the mode to TAG FILES to tag, and CLEAR TAGS to clear. NAME (TAG MENU) Enter the filespec to tag or clear. Wildcards are legal, such as *.BAK. SIZE (TAG MENU) Use UPARROW or DOWNARROW to select the operator for the comparison. Then enter the size to compare the files with.

ONLY TODAYS FILES (TAG MENU) This option tags or clears files with todays date. ARCHIVE (TAG MENU) This option tags or clears files with the archive bit set. FLIP TAGS (TAG MENU) Reverse the state of the tags. REMOVE FROM DISPLAY (TAG MENU) If you wish to eliminate some files from the display area, you can remove them from the file list. This does not delete the files from the disk, it only removes them from the file list. PAGE 16 MORE MENU WHERE IS FILE (MORE MENU) Enter a filespec. SD will search the entire disk drive for matches. DOS CALL (MORE MENU) Enter a command for DOS to execute. You could format a floppy disk, etc. OS SHELL (MORE MENU) Temporarily exit to DOS. When finished, type EXIT to return to SD. PKZMENU Run PKZMENU, a PKWARE program I wrote for managing your ZIP files. STAMP TIME Change the files time to the current time. TREE DISPLAY (MORE MENU) The tree function displays the layout of your hard disk in graphics form. You may then use the arrow keys to move up and down in the display. Pressing Enter will change directories to the highlighted directory. Up to 15 disk drives are supported. The tree structure is saved to a file called SD.CFG. This file is saved in the same directory as SD.EXE if you have DOS >= 3.0. Drives A and B are not saved in the .CFG file. If you change your hard disks directory structure, you must press 'R'eread tree to redo the .CFG file. Notice that SD can display several disk drives all at once. If you are currently looking at drive C:, you can press 'D' to view drive D:. To quickly bring up the TREE display, simply press 'T'. This will read the .CFG file. Pressing 'R' instead of 'T' from the main screen will also bring up the TREE display, but SD will scan the disk instead of using the .CFG file. Use PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, UPARROW and DOWNARROW to move thru the display. Press Enter to change to the highlighted subdirectory. Press Esc to stop viewing the tree structure. MOUSE You may change directories by clicking on a directory. You can scan other drives by clicking on the drive letters shown in the center column on the screen. REREAD TREE (MORE MENU) Scans your disk for directory information, and then displays it in graphic format. This is the same as TREE DISPLAY, except it forces SD to scan for disk information instead of using the .CFG file. HELP SCREEN (MORE MENU) Display some help for SD. ABOUT SD Display a little information about SD. PAGE 17 FILE MENU CHANGE ATTRIBUTES (FILE MENU) If no files are tagged, the highlighted file will be used. A pop up menu will appear. Toggle YES/NO for the attributes you want set. Press 'C' to confirm changing the attributes. You can hide directory names if you don't want people to know that directory exists. FILESPEC CHANGE (FILE MENU) If you wish to change the files SD is displaying, you can enter a new filespec. Also see SETUP - File options.

A window will appear and ask you for the name of the LIST file. After you enter the name, press Enter. This will make a list file containing the names of the tagged files. This file is PKZIP and PKUNZIP compatible. Press Esc to abort. If the file already exists, you may overwrite the file, or append to it. GIF DISPLAY (FILE MENU) You can display tagged pictures with .GIF extensions. SD will call another program that will display these pictures. You can specify the program to call in the setup pull down menu. If no files are tagged, SD will use the highlighted file if it is a .GIF file. PRINT FILES Press P or select Print files from the File menu. You can direct the output to PRN, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1 or COM2. You can also choose to have a form feed sent to the printer between files, so that each file starts on a new page. If you have PRINT.COM installed, you can send the output to SPOOLER. This will send the tagged files to PRINT.COM, so SD can be used or exited while the files are being printed. PAGE 18 WINDOW - OPEN / CLOSE (FILE MENU) To open another file window, select this menu item or press ALT W. If a window is already open, ALT W closes the current window. Once a window is open, use TAB to toggle between the windows. Whenever you execute a command with SD, only the current window is affected. EXPAND WINDOW SIZE (FILE MENU) Makes the current window larger. MOUSE To alter the window size, grab the bar that divides the two windows on the far right edge. Click and hold the left mouse button down. The color of the bar dividing the two windows will change. Move the mouse up or down to select the proper window size. Let go of the mouse button when the bar is in the correct spot. REDUCE WINDOW SIZE (FILE MENU) Makes the current window smaller. See above. SWITCH WINDOWS (FILE MENU) This changes the current window to the other window. MOUSE Click in the file window you wish to change to. PAGE 19 ZIP MENU UNZIP A ZIP FILE (ZIP MENU) Tag the files you wish to UNZIP using PKUNZIP. A menu will appear that allows you to select the options for PKUNZIP. Some of these options are only available with version 1.1 of PKUNZIP or later. Mark the options desired with the SPACE BAR. Press F2 to enter the extract directory required. If none is selected, the files will be extracted to the current directory. Press F1 to execute PKUNZIP with the requested options. You will need to press 'N' to reread the files in the current directory after UNZIPPING files, because SD does not know there are new files in the current directory. ZIP TAGGED FILES (ZIP MENU) Tag the files you wish to ZIP. Press 'Z' to bring up the PKZIP menu. Select the options using the SPACE BAR. You must enter a ZIPFILE name by pressing F2. If the current highlighted file is a .ZIP file, SD will use this name as the default, but you may change it. After selecting all the options needed, press F1 to execute PKZIP. If the file you create or modify is in the current directory, press 'N' after PKZIP is done, to reread the current directory. VIEW A ZIP FILE (ZIP MENU) This allows you to see what files are inside a .ZIP file. PAGE 20 SETUP MENU File options Filespec You can save up to 5 filespecs in the setup. The initial filespec SD will read off the disk is the top filespec in this window. Press SPACE to enter or modify a filespec, ENTER to select. You can save these to disk for future reference. Remember, the top filespec will be used when SD is first run, unless you specify a filespec on the command line when SD is first run. Include Subdirs Display subdirectories in file list.

Copy options Overwrite If NO is selected, SD will get confirmation before overwriting files with similar names. Error checking See if sufficient disk space is available on floppy disks before attempting to copy or move. Clear tags After a copy, clear the file tags. Mouse options Sensitivity Adjust the mouse motion speed to your liking. PAGE 21 Other options Directory return If YES is selected, SD will return you to the drive and directory that you ran SD from. If NO is selected, SD will exit to the current drive. Auto sense drives SD tries to detect all disk drives present when first run. This can cause problems with some networks. Select NO if problems exist. Use tree file Rather than scan your entire disk for it's tree structure every time you run SD, a file is created called SD.CFG, which contains your tree structure. If you prefer to scan the disk instead of using the CFG file, turn this option to NO. Temp drive Select a temporary directory to use. Necessary if you have a write protected floppy. Interface Select the original SD function key menu or the SAA set. Write to disk Save the current configuration to disk. This is added to SD.EXE. EXIT MENU To exit SD, you can simply press ESC a few times. To exit to the current directory, you can press CTRL X. To exit to the startup directory, press ALT X. Where SD exits by pressing ESC can be set in the setup menu. TREE MENU (Inside the TREE DISPLAY) If the drive you wish to display is not the current drive, just press the letter of the drive you wish to view. For example, press 'D' to view the D: drive. CHANGE DIRECTORY (TREE OPTIONS) After entering the tree display by pressing 'T' or 'R', you can then press RIGHTARROW to bring up the TREE OPTIONS pull down menu. To change directory to a directory displayed in the tree, simply highlight it and press the ENTER key. REREAD TREE STRUCTURE (TREE OPTIONS) If the tree display is not accurate, use this feature to re-scan the disk for directories. WIPE DIRECTORY (TREE OPTIONS) Suppose you have a junk directory, with 3 subdirectories called JUNK1, JUNK2, and JUNK3. You are done with these directories and wish to delete all the files in these areas. Simply highlight the JUNK directory, and press 'W'. SD will ask you to confirm this. SD will then delete all the files in these directories, and then remove the directories also. PRINT TREE STRUCTURE You can print the entire tree structure with this command. The printer port used is the same port specified in the print files window. You can toggle graphics print on or off.
