- XDIR is the most powerful of the currently available ZCPR3 file directory
- listing programs (transients). As a directory display utility, XDIR provides:
- name of file, size of file (in kb), attributes of file (R/O or SYS), sum of
- sizes of all files displayed, total nr of files on disk, space remaining on
- disk, and what du: is being displayed.
-
- As a file-scanner utility, XDIR: logs a group of selected files to disk,
- prints the contents of such a log file, scans a log file and compares it with
- the files selected by the user, telling him what files are missing and what
- files are additional.

- XDIR Notes:
-
- a. Vs. 1.1 (10/81).
-
- b. The user should keep in mind what he is scanning for when he uses the
- file name buffer facility. For instance, if he selects both non-system
- and system files with the FL option and then defaults to non-system with
- the FS option, it is likely that several files will be shown missing
- even though this may not be true.
