 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
   Credits: This shareware program was written using Borland Pascal
}(including Turbo Vision Objects), TurboPower Software's Object Professional and other related tools, by Jonathan L. Fortner. 6   With Disk Commander (DC) you can COPY, Repeat-Copy
ZDELETE, MOVE, RENAME, and EDIT files.  These functions can be performed on one file (none tagged) or all TAGGED files. If the file is too large to edit, DC lets you VIEW it (limited by available memory).  You can Make new directories, delete old ones and rename existing ones. See Change DIR for info on navigating through directories & drives. DC allows you to specify up to three File Specs so you can limit the number & type of files displayed to operate on. A tag menu allows you to Tag/Untag all displayed files as well as tagging the displayed files by comparing Source and destination directory files. The use of multiple file specs together with these tag options gives you powerful flexibility.  If you have PKZIP/PKUNZIP by PKWARE, Inc. , DC's ZIP utilities allow you to ZIP/UNZIP all tagged files or View the currently highlighted ZIP file contents.  Other features include PRINTING of files or file lists (all or tagged), a DOS shell, Sorting (F8) by name, extension, size or date, Optimal Disk Fill when copying, and one key Program Execution. DC is DOS 3-6.0 compatible, including compressed drives.

9-G,`)'Q ▄ DC COPY
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
  The F5 key is used to start COPY operations. If no files
°are TAGGED, then the currently highlighted file is copied to the destination drive/directory. If files are tagged, then Disk Commander will try to copy those files.  If there is not enough room on the destination disk for the tagged file, DC will skip it and try to fit the next tagged file (see Optimal fill below). This continues until the end of the tagged list and the files that were not copied, remain tagged so that you may insert another disk and use "F5" to copy the rest of them to a new disk. F
NOTE: Even though the total byte count for tagged files is less than ╠      the destination free, the files may not fit on the disk.  Why?
      The problem is in the disk's minimum defined file space not DC's
      addition.  Even a 1 byte file can use 4096 bytes of disk space if that
      is the minimum for that disk (512 bytes on a 360K disk).  The same
      is true for a 4097 byte file; the file will use 8192 bytes not 4097.
      So, if total bytes tagged is close to the bytes available, don't
      expect it to fit.

See the manual for what you can do for any COPY errors. (
COPYING HIDDEN/SYSTEM/READ-ONLY FILES: E
    First, these types of files must be displayed.  So, press Alt-H
eto add hidden files to the display (tags are cleared).  Now you can copy these files like any other. 
NOTE: Be careful! You may think you can copy some of these files onto a disk, delete them on the hard drive, then later restore them. Though this is true for some hidden files, system files are finicky about where they reside on the disk (see DELETING for more). 

FLOPPY DRIVES AND COPYING: ?
    Be aware that you cannot copy files from the A drive to a
┌second floppy in the A drive.  You can copy from one directory to another on the same drive though.  If you have two floppy drives, DC will have no trouble copying from A to B, B to A or Floppy to Hard drive and back. 
READING THE NEXT DISK: E
    To re-read the source directory just press the "R" key or Alt-R

# ▄ DC TAG File(s)
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
 
 WHY I CANNOT TAG A DIRECTORY:
B
    Although this would work for delete and renaming operations,

you would not want these tagged for copying, moving files and ZIP functions since these can't be done on directories.  So, we currently do not allow directories to be tagged.  As a result, operations on directories require that no files be tagged (use F2 #2 to clear). <
TAGGING WITH THE SPACEBAR or QUICK/SMART TAGGING OF FILES: E
    The spacebar will tag/untag the currently highlighted file (not
│directories) and immediately move to the next file.  You could go to the first file and hold the space key until all the files are tagged, but there's a better way (shown below). 

QUICK/SMART TAGGING: .
The F2 key displays a Tag dialog as follows: ╪
  1. Tag all displayed files   (the 'better' way)
  2. Untag all displayed files
  3. Files with same name as those in destination
  4. Files NOT in destination
  5. Files with same name, size & date as destination
D
    Simply press the number of your choice and let DC do the work.
>Items 3-5 are for specific tasks.  PC users have had the problem of repeating files across directories or disks and this gives you a way of identifying them and, if you wish, delete the extras.  Also, the third choice is used when you wish to see files of the same name that may not have the same size or date.  Finally, #4 will keep you from getting the annoying warning "File Already Exists, Overwrite? Y/N" by tagging only the ones that aren't in the destination directory already.  Combine this with the Multiple FileSpecs option and you have very powerful versatility! )

To create a directory, simply type a valid DOS name and extention (e.g.  DC.DIR, DC, or even DC^2$$.@@! ) and press ENTER.  The directory is created, the list updated (tags will be cleared) and the new directory will be highlighted.  As with all such input boxes, you can use editing keys like delete, insert, backspace, home, end, and arrow keys.  Valid DOS characters for file or directory names include the following: d
a thru Z, 0 to 9, ~, !, @, #, $, ^, &, %, (, ), -, _, ', `, and left & right funny brackets ( } ). M
   You should use names that will help you identify your files/directories.

'	u ▄ DC CHANGE DIRECTORY
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
      There are four basic ways to change directories. Use the F10 key
╗to change the Source directory, Shift-F10 to change the Destination directory, press the TAB key to swap Source and Destination directories and finally, highlight the directory you wish to look at and press ENTER. If the last method is used and the directory name is "/        ..", then DC will go to the parent directory and the one you were in will be highlighted. On the other hand, if you go down into a directory, the parent will be highlighted so you can back right out. This is especially helpful if you are searching for some long lost file(s). If you combine this with specific FileSpecs you'll make easy work of the search (don't forget to set the FileSpec back to *.* when you're done!). P
When changing the SOURCE Directory via the F10 key, you will be prompted for a name (if you change your mind, press ESC to exit). If you didn't ESC and the name was valid, DC will check for the existence of the new directory/drive and switch to it if it's OK, otherwise you'll get an error prompt and the current path will not change. 
SWAPPING DIRECTORIES (DIRs): G
These things happen when you swap source and destination directories. á
 1. All tags are cleared,
 2. If the highlighted file exists in the new source dir, it'll be
    highlighted. This is useful for file comparisons.
 3. The Destination bytes free is updated if the drives are different.
 4. Total Subdirectory bytes are recalculated and updated on the screen.
 5. If the destination disk was changed or the path no longer exists,
    DC will try to access the root directory instead.
½
To prevent the clearing of tags use the Shift-F10 key to change the destination Directory. If you enter a valid directory, the top of the screen will be updated with it.

ëpartial file names.  For example, if you want to find files beginning with "TURBO", you would press Alt-F, enter TURBO*.* and hit ENTER, then navigate through all your directories.  Only files that match your File Spec will be displayed.  For a permanent record of what you find, use F7 to print a listing (see printing later).  Don't forget to set the File Spec back to *.* when you're done! )

-è'h ▄ DC ZIP SUPPORT
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
      IMPORTANT! PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE must be in your DOS path
for DC to use them. If you do not have these programs and would like to try them, check with a shareware distributor, download it from your local Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) or order it from PKWARE, Inc. 9025 North Deerwood Drive, BROWN DEER, WI 53223, U.S.A. . . ?      Basically, PKZIP shrinks the file(s) you tag into a very
ìcompact form for storage and frees disk space. Since the file(s) is/are unusable in that state, you must Unzip them before using them again. 
ZIPPING FILES: G
    To ZIP a file or group of files, first tag the file(s).  Then hit
LAlt-Z and DC will prompt you for a ZIP file name by giving you the last name you used for editing.  If the name already exists, the tagged file(s) will be added to it, otherwise a new ZIP file will be created.  After PKZIP is finished, DC will ask if you would like the file(s) verified.  If so, DC will run PKUNZIP's verify.  If you add the file(s) to an existing ZIP file, only the added file(s) will be verified.  Finally, you are asked if you'd like the files you just zipped, deleted. Since tags are cleared, this is the best time to delete the uncompressed versions of those files. 

UN-ZIPPING FILES: H
    To Unzip a file into the current directory, highlight it and press
▄Alt-U.  To Unzip a group of ZIP files, tag them and press Alt-U.  To Unzip a file (none tagged) to the destination, use Ctrl-U and follow the prompts.  Any new source files are added to the display and tags are cleared. 
VIEWING ZIP FILES: B
    To VIEW a ZIP file, highlight it and press Alt-V.  Tags will
3remain in tact after viewing.  Same note as above. G
NOTE:  DC will not check to ensure the file(s) you specify are indeed "       ZIP files.  So, if you try to view/unzip a non-ZIP file, you will
       see PKUNZIP's notice on the error.  This is not a problem, but you
       might get confused if the error says, "error in ZIP - use PkZipFix"
       and "No file(s) found".  This may mean it wasn't a ZIP file.

 If you use F3, the current path and file name will be placed on DC's command line for you. Be sure to press an arrow, END or Home key first if you want to use that path and name because DC clears the line if the first key pressed is in the character set. D    A DOS shell gives you complete access to the command line while
&keeping DC in memory.  DC will remind you that you need to type "EXIT" from the DOS command line to return to Disk Commander. Some programs need a lot of memory and cannot be run while DC is active (especially graphics programs). For these programs you may have to exit DC before running them. F    DC creates a swap file in extended memory or on your hard disk to
╪make room for the program you are running.  If a failure occurs that prevents you from returning to DC, you may find the DISKCMDR.SWP file in the root directory.  DC will not swap if the source is the A or B drives. E    To run an executable file, highlight it and press the ENTER key.
ªDC will run .bat, .exe and .com files. You won't be able to run some programs due to insufficient memory, but this feature was too convenient not to include. If the program requires command line parameters, use F3 "DOS" to run it.  Note: Some graphics programs do not reset the video mode to text and although DC resets it, you might still be forced to exit (Alt-X key) DC and restart it. Send us a report if that occurs. 

IMPORTANT: DC MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY IF YOU RUN A TSR (Terminate-Stay- Resident) PROGRAM WITH DC. Things like Mouse drivers, print caches/ spoolers, and any program that "Pops-up" over others are prime examples. If you run one by accident, just exit DC and restart it. )

 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
    The clipboard is a temporary storage area for text that has been
ⁿcopied or cut throughout the current editing session. You can view its contents by selecting the edit menu and then "Show Clipboard".  So, how do things get into this clipboard?  The usual way is to block highlight some text and either copy or cut it. D    What else can you do with the clipboard?  Well, if you remember
that a few cuts or copies ago you put something in the clipboard that you need now, you can "Show Clipboard" and highlight that something. Now close the clipboard and the next paste you do will paste that text into your file.  Go ahead and try it, I'll wait. '

 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
      With this menu you can search for text in the current document or find
=and replace such text. Let's talk about the first menu item. @
 ▄ Help on the Find dialog box
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
nThe Find dialog box contains an input box with a history list, a group of check boxes, OK and Cancel buttons.

F
    You type the search string in the Text to Find box and choose OK
-to begin the search, or Cancel to forget it. A    Press the Down arrow key if you want to use the history list
Lassociated with the input box.  Highlight one and press ENTER to select it. q
 ┌────────────────────────┐
 │ [X] Case sensitive     │

 └────────────────────────┘
?
    This check box governs the kind of strings to search for.
Σyou can repeat the search via the menu item " Search again " or by pressing Ctrl-L (Alt-L in the Viewer).  You can specify [x] Case sensitivity, [x] Whole words only (space on both sides) or both with a mouse click or spacebar. ï

 ▄ Help on the Replace dialog box
 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
    The Replace dialog box contains two input boxes with associated
qhistory lists, a group of 4 check boxes, and OK & Cancel buttons. It is nearly identical to the FIND dialog box. 
 ┌──────────────╥───────────────────┬───┐
 │ Text to find ║                   │   │
 └──────────────╨───────────────────┴───┘
F
    Enter the search string in the "Text to Find" input box and then
*TAB to the "New text" box or click on it. B    Press the Down arrow key if you want to show the history list
àassociated with any Editor/Viewer input box.  Highlight the one you want and press ENTER to select it, or double-click with a mouse. 
 ┌──────────╥───────────────────────┬───┐
 │ New text ║                       │   │
 └──────────╨───────────────────────┴───┘
K
    Enter the replacement string in the "New Text" input box (TAB to it).
rIf you do not make an entry in this box, the text will be deleted each time you answer yes to the replace prompt. B
    You can also use the history list to the right of the box to
Wselect a string you've used previously (press the down arrow or click with the mouse). E
    The following set of check boxes governs how DC will look for a
-match to the string you put in the find box. ±
 ┌────────────────────────┐
 │ [ ] Case sensitive     │
 │ [X] Whole words only   │
 │ [X] Prompt on Replace  │
 │ [X] Replace All        │
 └────────────────────────┘
    Case sensitive will find strings that match the upper or lower case
8you typed.  Whole words only will check for space or puntuation on both sides of the word.  Prompt on Replace tells DC the replacement is not automatic.  If unchecked, it just replaces without asking. If "Replace All" is checked, DC will go forward through the rest of the document looking for more occurrences. ╩
NOTE:  Remember that all searches begin from the cursor and go toward the end of the file.  So, if you want to search all text, then press Ctrl-PgUp to go to the top of your document before you begin. 

SEARCH AGAIN: F
    Selecting this item in the Search menu, allows you to repeat the
iprevious FIND/REPLACE operation from the point of the cursor.  This can also be done by pressing Ctrl-L. '
