DIRECTORY ALPHABETIZER II
by
Louis F. Sander
COMMODORE MICROCOMPUTERS MAGAZINE
March/April 1986
p.105
**************************************
NOTE: This program is specifically
designed for Commodore 1526 and
MPS-802 printers and thus may not run
on other printers without alteration
of the program.
*************************************
DIRECTORY ALPHABETIZER II can go
long way in bringing order to the
chaos that plagues most of our disk
organization schemes by making
several kinds of printouts of disk
directories.
One option prints out a notebook
sheet of the filenames of a disk
suitable for a three-ring binder.
Each sheet has room for 144
filenames-- the maximum number that
can be on a disk.
Another option prints out a folded
8.5x11 sheet that fits perfectly in a
diskette envelope, with 1/8 of an
inch sticking out. This extra space
can be used as a label. Forty-eight
filenames fit in each quadrant of the
sheet.
Both sheets have room at the top
for a title and comments; the number
of files on the disk is also printed
out near the title.
DIRECTORY ALPHABETIZER II gives you
the option of alphabetizing the disk
directory or listing the filenames in
the order they appear on the disk.
Also, you may see what you are about
to print by sending the directory
listing to the screen.
When using this program, you will
be prompted to insert the disk you
want a directory of. Next, you will
be asked if you want to alphabetize.
After you enter (Y)es or (N)o to
this question, the program begins to
read the disk. The computer will
"beep" when this sequence is
complete.
The next screen gives you the
options of printing a folding sheet
(F1), a notebook sheet (F3), or
sending the directory to the screen
(F5).
The options to print a folding
sheet and the notebook sheet each
contain prompts such as " Align top
of paper with top af silver bar".
Sander writes that best results are
produced when the tractors of the
printer are in the extreme left-hand
position. There are many more subtle
tricks to be used in fine tuning this
program-- consult Sander's article in
COMMODORE MICROCOMPUTERS for more
information.
