- THE ORIGINAL......DIRUTIL
- Directory Utility VI The last version from Greg Cunningham 05-May-87
-
- don't be fooled by imitations with fancy graphics, tiny displays, and say
- Directory table full, use massive amounts of memory, open RAM disk, etc.
-
- Original Version by Chris Nicotra (CLImate...200 files max, eck).
- Revisions/Enhancements/Fixes by Dave Jobusch,Rich Medved and Nathan Barber
-
- Double windows,ARC,DE-ARC,LISTARC,COMMENT,COMMAND,LOCK,UNLOCK,EDIT,VD0:,
- CONFIG and Ram Display by Greg Cunningham.
-
- NOTE: All action is relative to the last directory window which was 'HIT',
- i.e. file selection, slide bar adjustment, title bar hit..
- This gets easy quick!
- The 'A' & 'B' in the directory string gadgets highlight to show which
- directory is the current operating directory for all buttons which
- means if 'B' is highlighted and you hit COPY, all the highlighted
- files in the 'B' dir will go to the 'A' dir and vice versa..
- working with one window will not unhighlight files in the other.
-
- during multi-file operations, selecting a button aborts
- further operation, leaving remaining files highlighted.
