!DiskLib is an application made by Chris Payne who got fed up of losing his
files on hundreds of different disks.
It is designed to keep count of various disks - providing information on all
of them and allowing a description to be recorded on each one.
It also allows various printed lists to be made.
It is multi-tasking and once loaded there are various options to use:
"Next Disk" allows a disk in the current drive to be examined and to have its
data stored in memory - shown in the window.
"Drive" allows you to set the current disk drive.
"Search" looks for a disk name or file name currently in memory - once found
it will automatically appear in the window.
"Swap" swaps disks records 'from' and 'to' different locations.
"Delete" deletes a disk record.
"Print" allows you to print either a list of disks with various information
or a list of applications or a list of files with various information.
This option was designed for an Epson LQ-500 printer using VDU
commmands and therefore may need to be altered for other printers for
example the underline routine (PROCu) in the BASIC file !RunImage.
"Load" loads a previously saved file of disk records from the "Library"
directory in !DiskLib.
"Save" saves a file of disk records to the "Library" directory in !DiskLib.
Also it saves 3 text files (in the "Library" directory that the print
options produce - this may be especially useful for users having
trouble with the "Print" options - instead they could print the text
files using !PrinterDM on the applications disk.
Information on a disk or file can be entered in the 'box' under "Description"
at the top or "Description" at the bottom respectively.
The number of disks that can be held in memory (and saved as 1 file) is 150
though this can be altered by:
1) Increase the value of "num%" in line 150 of the BASIC file !RunImage.
This program may be distributed freely so long as this !Help file is copied
with it.
In no way can the programmer of !DiskLib be held reponsible for any damages
that may occur.
Any further suggestions can be mailed to Chris Payne at Cryton or Arcade
BBSs.
