LISTRS 1.1 Quick Guide

                                   Overview

       LISTRS is a pair of DOS programs to give dedicated DOS users some
       of the tools available to Windows users.  For example, DIRLIST
       provides basic directory manipulation.  It is not intended to
       compete with products such as Norton Utilities NCD.  Instead it
       designed to be more accurate and more useful than "dir *.".

            One of the ways DIRLIST is more accurate than "dir *." is
       that its directory list does not include non-directory files that
       have no extension and it includes directories with extensions.
       In addition, it displays lists that are sorted properly even if
       the names contain digits.  For example, DIR10 comes after DIR2.
       Its mouse-selectable action options are change To, Show files,
       Remove, Cancel, and review List.

            PROGLIST replaces finding a program file by entering
       "dir *.exe", "dir *.com" and "dir *.bat".  It produces a combined
       properly-sorted list from which it is possible to run a program
       or edit a .BAT file.  If you select the "type & Wait" option, the
       program will place the specified program name on the command
       line.  Then DOS will wait for you to add switches or parameters
       and then press <Enter>.  In contrast, "type & Run" effectively
       also presses <Enter> for you.  Remarkably, neither option takes
       away any memory from the specified program since PROGLIST is
       cleared from memory before your program is run.
