I decided to develop this program, DSKLST.100, when my collection of DVI discs, and the files thereon, became so numerous that I couldn't find anything, and when I found something, I wasn't sure what is was that I had found. The program works on any disc fitted in drive 0 of the DVI. When run, the program first displays a listing to the 40 character screen of all files, sorted by type (TEXT, BASIC & ML) and alphebetized. If the disk has been sorted before by this program, then there is a file "INDEX" highlighted on the screen. If this is the first time that the program has been run with this disk, you are then asked for a name for the disk; I generally pick a name that reflects the contents of the file; a number code system of some sort would do as well. The program then pauses, allowing, if you wish, the screen to be dumped to a printer using the PRINT command key. By using the 40 character screen, the text that is dumped is of a width that can be cut out and attached to the disk sleeve for reference. Press any key, and the program resumes, switching to an 80 character wide screen, listing out the files singly, in order, along with the description of the file if the program has previously processed this disk. If not, or if you have chosen before not to describe a particular file, the program pauses, and awaits your entry of a description. The length of the description is unlimited, but longer than the screen line provided makes the subsequent presentation messy. Do not use commas in the description. If you have forgotton what the file contains, and it is a text file, enter "?" and the program will print out the first line of the file, up to either the first comma, or the first RETURN; each successive pressing of "?" will give another line until you have enough information to formulate a description. Then press , and type in the description. If you choose not to describe the file, simply press , and the program will move along to the next file. On occasions, the screen dump of the text file will give an error, even though there are traps set to avoid them. If you do get an error, you can resume without loss with GOTO 1070. On reaching the end of the list, the program saves a file called "INDEX" onto the disk. As it is a text file, you may load it into the computer and print it out if you want a paper listing of the files. The program was developed for the 100; there doesn't appear to be anything that would prevent it's use on the 200, but this hasn't been tried. D&R Rowland 72277,1433 13 March 1991 CHECKSUM=230,238
