Smotherman 888888888 Welcome to DirMaster, the featured packed GEOS directory management application! I've tried to make everything as intuitive as possible, for this doc file should answer any lingering questions you might have.  General Concepts  DirMaster provides all the directory manipulation features missing from all the desktops available for GEOS. Primarily these features deal with the physical arrangement of the files within the directory. DirMaster allows you to easily arrange the files within the directory to your specifications, including manual arrangement and several automatic arrangements related to sorting the directory. Arrangement of files is always accomplished by first selecting the files you want to perform a DirMaster operation on. Files may be selected individually by simply point-and-click (as many as you like) or by the GLOBALS menu item which allows selection/deselection/toggle for all files. Once a group of files has been selected you can then move then to any location within the directory by clicking on one of the right-pointing arrows along the left edge of the file display window. All selected files will be moved in their current order to the indicated location. If you choose one of the menu items under SORT then the indicated operation is performed on the selected files. At any time you may use the up/down and page up/down arrows to examine the rest of the directory. When the directory is arranged in the manner you want, just click on the SAVE menu item to save the directory on your disk. That's all there is to using DirMaster! Following is a complete description of each menu item selection:  @geos : This selection provides access to the FREEDOMware notice as well as the first 12 desk accessories on the current drive/disk. Note that when you use the  @drive and  @disk selections this menu will update automatically to indicate the first 12 DAs on that disk/drive!  @disk : Reads the directory of the disk in the current drive. If you want to change disks then just do so prior to making this selection.  @drive : Reads the directory of the disk in the numerically next drive. Automatically skips drives that don't have disks inserted. Supports devices 8-11.  @sort : The real workhorse of DirMaster, this menu expands to the following selections:  @alpha/A-Z : Sort selected files alphabetically. Upper and lower case are considered the same.  @alpha/Z-A : Sort selected files in reverse alphabetical sequence.  @file type : Sort selected files by GEOS file type.  @date/old-new : Sort selected files by date, oldest to newest.  @date/new-old : Sort selected files by date, newest to oldest.  @global : Expands to the following selections:  @toggle : toggle the selection status of all files.  @deselect : deselect all files.  @select : select all files. p8888888880 @c8888888880 @compact : Removes all unused/deleted file entries. Unused/deleted file entries show up in the file display as blank lines.  @display : Expands to the following selections:  @names only : Change the file display to filenames only.  @+types : Display filenames+filetypes.  @+types+dates : Display filenames+filetypes+dates.  @save : Write directory back to disk.  @quit : Exit to desktop.  Miscellaneous Notes - Any movement/sort operation automatically performs a  @compact operation. - If you ever make a mistake, don't sweat it! Nothing is permanent until you select  @sort ! - DirMaster supports and has been tested on the following equipment: 1541, 1581, CMD RAMDrive emulating 1541-1581-native mode. Maximum files is 480. - When sorting/moving a large number of files (like over 100) expect a short delay of from 2-5 seconds to perform the operation. - All sort/move operations automatically perform a  @global deselect upon completion.
