-
- XD displays a formatted, alphabetized listing of the contents of a disk
- directory. XD is completely compatible with XDIR in terms of the options it
- accepts and how it operates. However, the file scanner and disk output
- facilities have been removed from XD. Hence, the D, F, and I options are not
- available. As a result, XD is about half the size of XDIR and has a larger
- memory buffer in which to load files.
-
- The defaults of XD can be changed in the same fashion as those of XDIR.
