LISTBACK 1.2 Documentation 5/24/89
LISTBACK Program and Documentation: Copyright (c) 1989 by Gary R. Pannone.

Introduction
------------
The LISTBACK program lists the files and directories that are stored on
backup diskettes which were created with the DOS 3.3 BACKUP command.
LISTBACK lists each directory, followed by the files that were copied from that
directory. The filename, size, date, and time are listed for each file.
Command Syntax
--------------
The general form of the LISTBACK command is:
LISTBACK d:[/U][/D]
where d: is the drive that contains the backup diskette.
/U indicates that the first diskette put in the
diskette drive may not be backup diskette 01
(i.e., an Unknown disk).
/D indicates that each filename listed should
include the full directory specification.
Running LISTBACK
----------------
After you type the LISTBACK command, the program displays a startup screen.
Press any key, and the program displays a prompt that asks that you insert
the first backup diskette in the specified drive. If you did not specify
the /U parameter, the first diskette must be backup diskette 01.
Note: You can press ctrl-C at any prompt to exit the
LISTBACK program.
After inserting the diskette, press any key. If you specified the /U
parameter, LISTBACK displays the backup diskette number. LISTBACK reads the
control file on the diskette, and begins listing the directories and files
that are stored on the backup diskette. If LISTBACK detects that the diskette
is not the last backup diskette, it prompts you for the next diskette.
Examples
--------
Some examples follow.
The following command lists all directories and files stored on the backup
diskette numbered 01 in drive A.
LISTBACK A:
The following command displays the backup diskette number, and then lists all
directories and files stored on the backup diskette in drive A.
LISTBACK A:/U
The following command lists all directories and files stored on the backup
diskette numbered 01 in drive A. Each filename is displayed as a complete
path specification (minus drive ID).
LISTBACK A:/D
