- SDISK.COM Version 1.1 John L. Vandegrift
-
- SDISK takes the directory of the diskette in the default drive and
- sorts it placing it back on the diskette's directory in sorted order. SDISK
- checks the format of the diskette before sorting the directory and
- recognizes only single and double sided formats, 8 sectors per track. When
- SDISK sorts a diskette with a non-standard DOS 1.0 or DOS 1.1 format, it
- displays a message to that effect and does not attempt to sort the
- directory.
-
- The advantage of this type of sort over the SDIR is that once done,
- this command does not have to be repeated until a file is added or renamed
- on the diskette. The standard DOS command will list the directory in
- sorted order because this command puts them in that order.
-
- Diskettes with the two hidden DOS files can also be sorted, as SDISK
- leaves these two files in place, where DOS expects to find them. All other
- file directory entries are sorted, whether the directory entry is a normal
- file, hidden file or deleted file. Deleted files are placed at the end of
- the active files automatically, although they remain deleted. See the
- HideFile utility on previous diskettes for the capability of undeleting
- files and viewing all of the directory entries on a diskette.

- SDISK.COM Version 2.1 Roy G. Browning HAL-PC
-
- The program has been modified to to also sort the directories of nine
- sectored disks. Either a one sided or two sided disk directory will be
- sorted and written back to the disk. Place any disk in the DEFAULT drive
- and type "?:SDISK-21" and the directory will be sorted alphabetically.
-
- A Hard Disk or a Ram Disk directory will not be sorted.
