- Description -------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Operation is fairly simple. You move into a directory by
- moving the pointer to the directory name and then pressing
- the right arrow key. To move up to the parent directory, press
- the left arrow key. Pressing Enter will calculate the space
- occupied by the directory you are currently in and all files
- and directories below your current position. It's easier to
- understand by doing it than by me trying to explain it.
-
- If you have a flash disk in one of the drives, PieDir can tell
- you how much space is "wasted". "Wasted" space occurs when
- a file on a flash disk is deleted. The file disappears, but
- the free space on the drive does not increase. The only way to
- reclaim the free space is to reformat the drive.

- Known bugs --------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Scrolling will sometimes leave stray marks in the list. The
- marks are from ascenders/descenders which are not completely
- erased when scrolling up or down.

- Notes -------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- The number of clusters a file occupies is not calculated. As a
- result, the physical "space" a file uses on the internal drive
- can be off by a large margin.
-
- The maximum number of files PieDir can display has been fixed
- at 130.
-
- I developed PieDir using a S3a with 512K memory and a 512K
- flash disk.
-
- Unmodified copies of PieDir may be distributed freely. PieDir
- may not be distributed with the intent of making a profit
- from its distribution. I reserve all rights to PieDir.
-
- Programming tip request: I need at least a "PAUSE 4" in my
- main loop in order for auto-turn-off to work. This slows
- down the program response. Does anyone know how to get auto-
- turn-off to work without using a "PAUSE" command?
