SEEFYL.BA --------- - SEEFYL.BA is a FAST, simple-to-use, 661 byte, 100/102/200 menu utility that provides a unique package of two very useful options. - You display and can change the visibility of ANY directory entry other than BASIC. - You can re-name ANY directory entry (other than BASIC) with ANY combination of characters, with or without an extension. Be creative: use those graphics characters! In addition to keeping "working" programs off the main menu, these features enable you to protect critical resident programs because invisible, non-standard, lower-case and/or extensionless filenames are almost impossible to kill! - Download SEEFYL.BA and SEEFYL.DOC. Checksum SEEFYL.BA as a .DO file: then LOAD it and SAVE it as a .BA file. Save a backup copy somewhere. - OPERATION - Cursor select SEEFYL.BA from your main menu. You will see a "prompt- reminder" line at the top of your screen and your first directory entry displayed. If the file is invisible on your normal menu it will display in reverse video here. - ENTER will display the next file name. - TAB will let you toggle between invisible (displays in reverse video) and visible (normal video). - BKSP will let you re-name your file with ANY combination of characters. You may enter up to EIGHT characters WITHOUT a period or NINE characters INCLUDING the period: in either case, the right two characters will be considered the extension. SEEFYL immediately re-displays your "new" filename. If it's not OK just press BKSP and start again. When you're satisfied, use TAB as necessary and press ENTER to continue. NOTE: To change any "non-standard" filename you'll need to re-run SEEFYL.BA. - ESC will return you to the main menu at any time. - ------------------- - I keep SEEFYL.BA in RAM as an invisible utility for normal house-keeping and on DISK as a back-up. It can be run equally effectively from RAM or DISK. Please send comments or questions to: - R.W.HESS 73267,552 Omaha, Ne or phone: WATS: 800-228-3309 COMM: 402-397-0900
