- 30 April 1990
- Updates for - Ver. 5.0
-
- Versions 4.0 - 4.2 made some minor changes to the program and
- upgraded it from Turbo Pascal version 3.0 to 4.0. HDLU Version
- 5.0 upgrades to Turbo Pascal 5.5 and adds several new features.
-
- A menu has been added to configure the program options. Use
- the up and down arrows and return to move from option to option,
- use the left and right arrows to change an option (e.g. Yes to
- No), type in text answers where appropriate. While in the menu,
- hit Escape to exit HDLU or End to start it up. The menu should be
- self explanatory.
-
- An option has been added to allow the user to specify that a
- floppy is being used and to name the floppy. If a floppy name is
- given, the name is written at the top of the listing for the
- floppy's files.
-
- Version 5.0 handles 512 directories and 512 files per
- directory. KSD
-
- Updates for - Ver. 3.3
-
- This version fixes the bug where the program could only handle 255
- files per directory instead of the advertised 512.
-
- Updates for - Ver. 3.2
-
- This version fixes the bug where the page number and header was not
- not always printed out.
-
- Updates for - Ver. 3.1
-
- This version was modified to handle both monochrome and color
- monitors. The program now will handle 512 files per directory. In the
- other versions, I reported a file of zero bytes to be a subdirectory,
- this bug has been fixed as well.
-
-
- Updates for - Ver. 3.0
-
- In my zest to get Ver. 2.5 up, I created a "bug" in the way I handled
- "paths". If you used somenthing like "C:\HDLU" as a parameter to HDLU
- and the directory \HDLU contain another subdirectory, then you would
- receive the error message "Invalid path". If you had used \HDLU without
- the "C:" this problem would not surface. With this version, this bug has
- been eliminated.

-
- Updates for - Ver. 2.5
-
- Three enhancements have been added to HDLU by popular request. HDLU
- nolonger uses an overlay file. This will allow you to run HDLU while
- working in another directory. An attribute field is now printed out
- along with the file information which indicates whether a file is a
- system file, hidden file, read-only file, or needs to be archived. The
- listing is now printed in alphabetical order. Because I sort the files
- by directory and then do the printing, you will notice a momentary pause
- once in a while. I have compiled the program to handle 200 files within
- each directory, with 512 directories. If these numbers need to be in-
- creased, please let me know.

- 04 April 1986
-
- Updates for - Ver. 2.0
-
- A bug was reported concerning the use of EXTENSIONs with directories.
- This problem is now corrected and directory/subdirectories can now have
- the form of FILENAME.EXT without causing any problems.

- 11 February 1986
-
- Updates for - Ver. 1.5
-
- There were two main problem areas encountered with Version 1.0. One
- concerned changing from the root directory to the next subdirectory level
- when a disk drive was specified (e.g. B:\). I have corrected this bug.
- The second problem came about when the "paging" information did not print
- out for certain pages. I have corrected this problem as well.

-
- This program is menu driven and should be self explanatory. The
- purpose of this program is to get a nice listing of all or part of the
- files within the directories and subdirectories. When prompted for a
- "Yes or No" answer, the flashing [Y] or [N] is the default and you need
- only reply with the Return Key. When asked for the "full path", be sure
- to include the "\" where appropriate. After depressing the Return Key,
- the cursor will be repositioned to the beginning of the line. If what
- you have typed looks correct, depress the Return Key a second time, other-
- wise retype to make corrections.
-
- The program was compiled and sized to handle a maximum of 512 sub-
- directories. It's hard for me to imagine more than that for someone's
- home PC, but if you need to have more, leave me a message on one of the
- bulletin boards listed below. The following are to serve as examples:
-
-
- C> HDLU \ - causes the ROOT directory to be the starting point
-
- C> HDLU \TELIX - Sub-Directory TELIX becomes the starting point
-
- C> HDLU \FINANCE\HOME - Sub-Directory FINANCE\HOME is starting point
-
-
-
- Once the program finds the starting point that you have selected, it
- continues to display and list the files as it finds them. When a sub-
- directory is found, it is placed on a stack. After all the files at the
- current level have been processed, the next sub-directory is taken off of
- the stack and its files get processed. This continues until all of the
- files and all of the sub-directories have been processed. If you want to
- see how the program works before using up any paper, answer NO when
- prompted for a listing.
-
- If you like the program, then please let me know. If you have
- any problems with this program or would like to see some additions,
- please leave me a message on one of the following bulletin boards:
