- DIRR.COM (ALPHABETIZED DIRECTORY LISTING)
- ------------------------------------------
-
- This program lists the directory in four vertically alphabetized
- columns. It also shows the length of each file. It turns up an initial
- new line prior to the listing and another new line after the listing.
- It has a summary line which shows the following information:
-
- 1) Disk drive in use
- 2) Length of disk (948k for DS, DD -- 241k for SS, SD)
- 3) Number of files used (does not include extents used)
- 4) Length of files used
- 5) Number of files / extents remaining
- 6) Amount of disk space remaining
-
-
- Address 0784H controls the space between the file type and the
- length of the file displayed. At present it is:
-
- 0784 03
-
- If you want more space after the file type, increase that to 04
- or even 05. The following table shows the width of the display:
-
- 03 uses 69 columns
- 04 uses 73 columns
- 05 uses 77 columns
-
-
- If you want the display to stop with a full screen and wait until
- the space bar is depressed before it continues, change:
-
- 0103H from 80 to 16
-
- This byte sets the number of directory lines that will show on the
- CRT before the display stops with "Hit SPACE" to continue. 16H shows
- twenty-three lines. If you want the complete directory to show without
- stopping (it looks much better if making a hard copy print to put in
- the jacket), use a large number. Using '80H' would show 512 filenames
- before stopping. (You are unlikely to have that many. If you did, you
- could make the number even larger.)
-
- Byte 0789H is the "k" after each file length. You can eliminate
- that (gaining four additional columns) by changing from 6B to 00. It
- may appeal to some, as gives a less cluttered appearance.

- P.S. I did not write this program, nor do I have the source code.
- However I did modify it extensively to suit my needs and then
- called it DIRR.
