- Notes on use.
-
- The 'A' & 'B' in the left top corner of the directory displays,
- highlight to show which directory is the current operating directory.
- All action is relative to this status.
- This highlight can be changed by file selection, slide bar adjustment
- or clicking on the left or right area of the screen.
- This is for speed and ease of use, and will not mess you up!
-
- Example: If 'B' is highlighted and you hit COPY or MOVE, all of the
- highlighted files & directories in the 'B' dir will go to the 'A' dir
- or vice versa, most of the other operations deal only with the
- highlighted directory.
-
- While DiskMan is doing something, clicking anywhere on the screen
- aborts further operation, leaving untouched files highlighted.
- This may also happen if DiskMan encounters an error.
- (give it some time to stop though).
-
- The 'A' or 'B' may change to a 'P' if the disk is write-protected.
- If the disk is deprotected then reinserted, the 'P' will change back
- after the next button operation.
-
- The title bar is for displaying errors,operation status, and
- normally displays, on the left, free memory in the 'A' disk,
- and the volume name of the 'A' disk, in the center the free memory
- of the system, and on the right, the name of the 'B' disk and it's
- free memory.
-
- The two boxes below the title bar are directory string gadgets,
- entering a directory path name and hitting return will get the
- directory and display it in the directory window below that gadget.
- Normally the highlighted directory string gadget is always ready
- for input.
-
- The file names are white, directory names are red, and protected
- files are greenish.
-
- This program is not for the memory conscious! It uses a screen of
- 640 x 408 x 3(planes) devided by 8(bytes). In other words around 100K
- for the screen. This is mainly for more view and concentration on the
- directories.
-
-
