Also displays library files with the file size in k if the '$L' option is used. This version can be assembled with ASM, LASM, MAC, RMAC or M80. Latest revision: 10/31/85 Fixed bug which caused system to crash if BYE low (LOWCCP) v102 and using disk options (DOPT EQU YES). Thanks to Wayne Masters for reporting it. - Keith Petersen, W8SDZ Current versions of SD automatically adjust for any block size and directory length under CP/M 1.4 or 2.x or MP/M (any version). They also automatically adjust for any number of disk drives and work satisfactorily even if no disk is in that drive at the moment. Provisions are made for: (1) automatic pauses when the screen fills up (2) searching individual or multiple drives and/or user areas (3) unconditional or optional resetting the disk system before execution begins (4) directing output to a disk file called SD.DIR and appending to that file on subsequent runs (5) summary line output giving drive and user information, number of files matched and how much space they consume, and the amount of free space remaining on the disk (6) displaying or suppressing "system" files (7) accepting ambiguous filenames with or without a drive name (8) printer output (9) optional help menu with $? Previous revisions: 10/28/85 Added an equate to allow display of file attributes only in v101 inverse video. This leaves the header line in normal video and avoids that bright band on the screen. Also, with the THREBYT equate set, the third byte was written to the disk when the F option was active. This mod fixes that problem. - Barron McIntire 07/24/85 Rewrote the TIMEON code to allow use of the existing time- v100 on-system data contained in BYE5, BYE3, BYE+ or MBYE's RTC buffer. If TIMEON is YES, SD merely reports "Time on system is nnn minutes" and makes no attempt to log the user off. Logoff responsibility is delegated to the (M)BYE(+) program. TIMEON checks to see if BYE is running and continues without reporting time-on if not. No installation required to use this feature if you have clock code installed in your BYE. All page-1 equates previously used by TIMEON were deleted. This update also contains the SD99.FIX code for nested IF' - Wayne Masters, Potpourri 07/11/85 Added THREBYT equate for systems needing a 3-byte sequence v99 for reverse video. If THREBYT is YES then the value coded at TBYTE is added to the reverse video sequence (currently set for a Kaypro). Also added a new "?" option which will display a menu of the $ options available if HELP is YES. - Steve Sanders 03/15/85 Fixes obscure display bug which deletes display of 1, 2 or v98 3 file names in 3 out of 4 cases when the directory has >255 entries. The fix code was written by Peter Lyman. - Paul Foote 01/21/85 Added support for ZRDOS. Although CP/M compatible, ZRDOS v97 does not allow the SWAPEM technique of poking local values into the operating system. Instead, a test for ZRDOS is made and, if present, further calls to CPM: set the Warm Boot Trap in ZRDOS. On any error detected by ZRDOS the trap is reset and control is passed to DSKERR: No equates need be changed for CPM/ZRDOS, testing is dynamic in the run-time code. - Joe Wright --Keith
