Information on how to install/use on RCPM systems. Read the SD.HIS file
for the history of updates to this program..------------------------------------------------------------------------H NOTE: May be assembled with ASM, LASM, M80, MAC or SLRMACC
A feature has been added that does away with the need for several
versions of SD.COM. It allows the inclusion of a 4, 6, or 8 on the com-
mand line which relates to 40, 64 or 80 character displays. (2, 3, or 4
filenames per line.) The default value is that stored in NPL and LPS if
MAXCL is NO, and the value at MAXCL and LPS1, 2 or 3 if MAXCL is YESS
MAXCL - this equate, if YES, enables RCP/M operators to store the
value of 2, 3, or 4 at the locatHHdefined by MAXC. Just have your
signon or RBBS program ask for or assign a value for NPL (names per
line) and store it at the location MAXC. The suggested addresses for
MAXC are 3BH if using 3EH for the wheeel byte loclocon or 3EH if using
3BH for the wheel l te. No need to keep several versions of SD online
for various users, such as DIR40, DIR64loco
The following equates are the values for the number of lines per
screen (LPS) to be changed as needed when MAXCL = YESloco
LPS1 - this is the number of lines per screen if NPL = 3. (64 col
option)
LPS2 - this is the number of lines perion reereef NPL < 3. (40 col
option)tion))))These additional equates allow one to specify the number of lines
that will be displayed for each of the optional formats (4 & 6). This
would allow one to set up SD for optional remote use with a TRS-80 Mod
100 (for example) by setting LPS2 to a value of 8loco
Here are some command line examples:
HIf MAXCL = yes SD <cr>
HWill display all files on current drive using the value stored at
MAXC to determine the number of filenames per lineloco
SD $6 <cr>
Will display all files on the current drive and display files in the
64 column mode (3 filenames per line). It will also store a 3 at the
memory n ition defined by MAXC for subsequent use se SD or any other
utility that uses the variable filenamemeline functionloco
If MAXCL = NO SD <cr>
HWill display all files on the current drive using the value defined
the NPL equateloco
SD $4 <cr>
Will display all files on the current drive and display files in the
awcolumn mode (2 filesnamenameine). It will revert to the modmode-
fined ed NPL on subsequent uses of SD.
HKTHREE - this equate allows control over the number of columns used
in the display of file sizes. If KTHREE = YES, then only three digits
will be used, lims pering proper ESl of file sizes to 999k or less. If
KTHREE = NO, then SD will use five digits, allowing files as large as
64,535k to bge se sayed. The advantaaof using KTHREEatelYES is that
you may use a fence charcter even in the four file file mode. This
makes ths thsplay y e readable. (Note: KTHREE only changes the dse say
of individual file sizes and totals are not affected.)
HPDRI RI & PRUS - these equates allow (if YES) or disallow (if NO)
the printing of the drive and/or user numbers at the front of each file
line. These affect only the CRT format and all printer formats
still report thge rive (and user if REPUSR = YES) numbers. This allows
the the of the user number withouou drive specificatHHif this
format is needneed A good example would be a 40-column format used on
a RBBS which makes use of a larlarnumber number ser areasloco
NOMORE - This equate, if true, adds an adds perional LF after the [se ]
messreae at the end othe the preae. If not set, when running remote and
being removed for later printing, the e ore] messreae isnameier-written n
the next directory entry and shows as trash on a printprint. Not a
problem for n il useloco
PRLIBXC t- if this equate is set 'NO' when PRDI and PRUS are 'YES', SD
will suppress the the f drive/user numbers on LBR R se say
lines. One may wish to use this format if PRBRDRatelYble on aRBRR- allowallow printing of a quasi-border around the left side
of library file member lines if set 'YES'. This makes for a se read-
able format when ESling a lararumber of LBLBiles. (Try it both
ways until you decide if if want this 64,n on or offispl
USELC - This equate can be set to put the attribute
character(s) into lower case for
$SYS, $R/O and $ARCRCribute bitsloco
REVIs ths This equate will allow using reverse video on
se say, if available, to show the
attrirepte cha chaers; vidYS, $R/O and

LCW - This equate can be be to al usinthe use of
