Introduction


    You use LIST to display files on your monitor, line by line with the
    aid of scrolling, positioning and filtering commands.


    LIST PLUS has many new  commands which go beyond usual  file viewing
    and browsing.  We will  explain how LIST is  used, and then how  the
    new file management commands are used.


    Before going  into all  of the  ways in  which LIST  can be  used to
    display files, let's look at  the three different varieties of  LIST
    so that you understand the capabilities of each.  Then, we'll go  on
    and define certain terms  like: redirection, piping, and  filtering.
    In this way, you will better understand how you can use these things
    with LIST.


Installation

    There are three varieties of the  LIST program on the disk that  you
    received (or in the file  that you downloaded).  This allows  you to
    pick the version of LIST that is right for you, and to configure  it
    to be exactly the way YOU want it to be.

    Decide which of the LIST programs you would like to use and copy the
    .COM file to your working disk, or into a subdirectory on your  hard
    disk.  Selecting a directory that is in your PATH will allow you  to
    use LIST from anywhere on your system.

    You may  rename the  program file  to any  convenient name,  such as
    L.COM,  READ.COM,  LST.COM	or  leave  it as LIST.COM.  For example,
    place the distribution disk into drive A and enter the commands:

	    A:
	    COPY LIST.COM C:\L.COM

    to copy  the Plus  version to  the root  directory of  your C drive,
    renaming the program to L.COM in the process.


MS Windows

    LIST can be used as a DOS application under MS Windows as a full
    screen or windowed task. To make LIST available to MS Windows:

	1. - Copy LIST.COM, LIST.ICO and LIST.PIF to your WINDOWS directory

Introduction


Printing the manual

    To print the documentation, set your printer for six lines per inch,
    and 10 characters per inch.   Then, use the DOS PRINT  command.  For
    example,

			PRINT LIST.DOC

    You may also  print out the  documentation by using  redirection and
    entering:

			TYPE LIST.DOC > LPT1

    Better yet, use LIST to print the manual.  Enter

			LIST LIST.DOC

    then press Ctrl-P (the Ctrl and P keys at the same time).


    The documentation file is marked  with | before new and  changed
    lines.  It is marked  with a double asterisk  ** for LIST PLUS
    only features.







				   WARNING
	 LIST PLUS (LIST.COM) HAS THE ABILITY TO *DELETE*

			 FILES FROM YOUR SYSTEM!!






      IF YOU ELECT TO USE LIST PLUS, PLEASE READ THE SECTION ON THE FILE
      SELECTION MENU FOUND LATER ON IN THIS MANUAL.

Varieties of LIST.COM

    There is also a commercial version of LIST called LIST Enhanced.
    The main differences between LIST Plus and LIST Enhanced are:

    - the File Selection menu has:
       - file tagging, including tag all, untag, retag, etc.
       - archive file extract and add/update commands
       - a sweep command to execute a specified program with all of
	 the tagged files
       - a hardcopy (print) command for printing files with a user program
       - commands to change screen colors for all displayable items
       - shell to DOS
       - change video modes
       - a directory tree display command
       - the rename command that can rename directories
       - a command to create new directories

    - the viewer part has:
       - the alt-E command presents a menu offering up to 6 video modes
	 including 132x25, 132x43, 80x43, etc., if the video adapter
	 supports that text mode
       - viewing of EBCDIC and ASCII files
       - handling of fixed-length record files like database files at two
	 or more times the usual speed
       - optional number (on the left side) of each record
       - command line parameters to position to a given record number, or
	 to the end of file
       - handling of files up to 32 mb or 500 mb in size (larger upon request)
       - the wrap option splits the line at a word boundary

    - in general:
       - allocates memory more efficiently: can run in as little as 100k
	 with all functions
       - supports UltraVision video utility
       - options to use regular DOS input routines that take advantage of
	 PCED, DOSKEY, or other keyboard utilities; or, to use an internal
	 input routine which allows command line editing
       - a customization program that can be used to set any of the LIST
	 options or toggle, and save them to a file, or read the options
	 saved in a file; the customization program can define other
	 printer names, can define all the names of archive programs used,
       - a 170-page spiral bound manual
       - a 6-panel Quick Reference card of all commands
       - one year of free updates
       - telephone, FAX, and BBS support

    LIST Enhanced may be purchased at computer stores or ordered directly
    from Buerg Software.  Registered users of LIST receive a $20 discount.

DOS Redirection

    The output of a  DOS command can be  "redirected" to a device  other
    than  the  standard  output  device,  which  is  in  most cases, the
    monitor.  This is done simply by entering the command, followed by a
    ">" and then the name of the desired device.  For example.

    If you type "DIR > FILE.LST" you will see nothing on your screen and
    then suddenly your	DOS prompt will  reappear.  What happened?   The
    "output" of the DIR command was "redirected" to the file, FILE.LST.

    In the same manner, you  could enter the following command	and send
    the contents of FILE.LST to your printer, like so: "TYPE FILE.LST  >
    LPT1"

    The ">" symbol stands for  redirection of output to another  device.
    Broken down simply, the following command is saying:

		    DIR 	   >	   FILE.LST
	  (send output of this)  (TO)	(This device, which is a file)

    By the same token, you can also redirect "input" to a DOS command or
    a program like SORT  by using the "<"  symbol.  Here is an  example:
    "SORT  <  FILE.LST"  This  command  would  take  the  information in
    FILE.LST  and  "redirect"  it  into  SORT.   For more information on
    redirection, you  may want	to consult  a DOS  manual or  other such
    reference.


DOS Filters

    FILTERS are  commands, or  programs, that  read data  from an  input
    device, and  then rearranges  or "filters"  the data  before it then
    outputs the  filtered information  to an  output device.   DOS comes
    with several "filters", one of which is SORT.  The following command
    would sort the file in alphabetical order.

				SORT < FILE.LST

    You are redirecting the file,  FILE.LST through the SORT filter  and
    it is rearranging the file.  Taking what you know about  redirection
    and  filters,  you	could  now  send  your	alphabetical list to yet
    another  file  by  entering:  SORT	<  FILE.LST  > ALPHA.LST,  which
    redirects FILE.LST into the SORT "filter" and then redirects the new
    output  to	the  file  ALPHA.LST.	LIST  also has some very helpful
    "filters" built  right into  it and  we'll discuss  these later  on.
    Simply keep in mind that when  you use a "filter" it will  rearrange
    or alter the  information into a  form that is  more presentable, or

______________________________________________________________________________



DOS Pipes

    Pipes are  quite similar,  in some	ways, to  redirection.	They are
    "connections" between two programs or two commands or a command  and
    a program.	 Pipes take  data that	is output  from one  program and
    redirect it as input to a second program.  The DOS symbol for a pipe
    is the vertical bar "|".  To redirect the output from one program or
    command to another, you simply type the first command followed by  a
    vertical bar and  then followed by	the second command.   Here is an
    example of piping.

				DIR | FIND "-88"

    This command tells DOS to send the output of the DIR command,  which
    you would normally see on the  screen, and send it through the  FIND
    filter.  FIND  would be  searching each  line for  the string "-88".
    Only the files in the current directory that have a 1988 date  stamp
    would be displayed on the screen!  You can use more than one  "pipe"
    in a command.  Take this final example:

		       DIR | FIND "-88" | SORT/+14 > PRN

    A "pipe" takes the  output of the DIR  command and converts it  into
    input for the FIND	filter.  Then, a second  "pipe" is used to  send
    the output from FIND as input  to the SORT filter.	As a  last step,
    output from  SORT is  redirected to  the printer!	What would  this
    command do??   It would  take the  DIR of  the current directory and
    pipe it through the FIND filter, looking for files created in  1988.
    Then the next pipe would SORT that information, sorting the files by
    SIZE (the 14th column of each line) and then send the output to  the
    printer.  For  more information  on PIPES,	consult a  DOS manual or
    other reference.

    Now that you have  a basic understanding of  redirection, filtering,
    and piping, we will go on to discuss the command line of LIST.

Command line
______________________________________________________________________________


Command line syntax

    The command line format is:


	LIST [filespec...filespec] [/switches]


    You may supply  one or more  file specifications (filespecs).   LIST
    will display  each file  which has	a filename  matching one  of the
    filespecs.	If you	do not supply  one, LIST will  prompt you for  a
    filespec, or present you with a file selection menu.



Command line switches
	/?	displays LIST usage information

	/B	tells LIST to use the BIOS for displaying data
		instead of using direct screen writes

	/D	forces display of the File Selection menu for the
		specified files, e.g. *.TXT for a menu display of
		only files with an extension of TXT

	/E	tells LIST to begin displaying the files from the
		end of each file instead of from the beginning

	/K	disables the mouse; both /M and /K mouse options
		are clonable

	/Q	toggles sounding of beeps; the same as Alt-Q

	/V	causes a verify operation to be performed after
		any Copy or Move operation; the /V option defaults
		to the value of the DOS VERIFY setting

	/4	places LIST into 43 (or 50) line display mode;
		this requires an EGA or VGA display adapter

	/S	indicates viewing a piped or redirected file

	/J	sets Junk filter on
	/7	sets 7-bit display
	/8	sets 8-bit display
	/*	sets star filter on

	/W	sets Wrap on

Page  10						    LIST  User's Guide
Command line
______________________________________________________________________________

	/H	sets Hex dump mode
	/L	sets pre-Loading on

	/M	allows use of a mouse for moving the cursor
	/K	disables mouse for cursor positioning













































LIST  User's Guide                                                    Page  11
Command line
______________________________________________________________________________


  Command line switches (cont'd)


	/Ftext	begins a text search through all of the selected files
		and is case insensitive


	/Ttext	searches all files immediately for the 'text' and is
		case sensitive; the /Ftext and /Ttext options MUST be
		the last options on the command line; both cannot be
		used at one time


	/#nnnn	begins displaying the file at record 'nnnnnn'



    The command line switch character is normally a slash, "/", but LIST
    will use whatever  character that is  defined to DOS  as the command
    line switch character, e.g. a  dash, "-".  Depending on your  needs,
    you could load LIST using  any of these command line  switches, such
    as:


	       LIST MYFILE.TXT /W   which would set Word Wrap ON.

	       LIST MYFILE.TXT /J   which turns on the JUNK filter


    The L, W, M, S and /J command line switches may be used to disable
    the corresponding option by adding a minus symbol to them. For
    example,  /-W  or  /W-  will set wrap off.



    The B, D and Q switches are toggles.  That is, specifying them
    reverses the default, or cloned, setting.

How to use LIST
______________________________________________________________________________

Starting LIST

    To	start  LIST,  you  type  the  command  LIST,  at the DOS prompt,
    followed by  the name(s)  of the  files that  you want  to see.  For
    example:

	  C:>LIST CONFIG.SYS	    (displays file CONFIG.SYS)

	  C:>LIST *.DOC    (displays all DOC files in current directory)

    The "filename" is optional.  If  omitted, LIST PLUS will bring  up a
    display of ALL  files and subdirectories  in the current  directory.
    You may use  the cursor keys  to highlight the  file that you  would
    like to work  on and press	ENTER.	Or, you  may highlight any  sub-
    directory entry and press ENTER to change to that subdirectory.

    You  may  also  use  LIST  to  display piped or redirected files.  A
    discussion of redirection, piping, and filtering is at the beginning
    of this manual.

    To display a redirected file, use a < (less than symbol) before  the
    name of the file that was redirected and add the /S parameter to the
    LIST command.

    For example, the output of the DIR command can be written to a  file
    called XYZ, and then LIST can be instructed to read that file.

		dir a: >xyz
		list <xyz /s

    To see a piped file, omit the filename, but supply the /S.

		dir a: | list /s

    Or, to LIST a file within an ARC archive:

		ARC /p arcname.arc filename.ext | list /s
				- or -
		ARCE arcname filename.ext /p | list /S

    Here,  the	ARC   or  ARCE	program   is  invoked  to   extract  the
    'filename.ext' file.   The /P  switch for  these programs  sends the
    output to the  standard output device,  and this output  is piped to
    LIST.  Once the  file is  displayed on your screen,  you may use the
    cursor positioning	keys to  move around  and see different parts of
    the file.  There are  also commands to search for text, print, split
    the screen, display  other	files,	change	colors,  change  the way
    the data is displayed, and many other operations.

How to use LIST
______________________________________________________________________________

Exiting LIST


    There are several ways  to exit LIST depending  on how you want  the
    screen to look.

    The F10 command returns you to DOS with the DOS prompt on the bottom
    line.  The	last page  that was  displayed by  LIST is  left on  the
    screen.

    The ESCape key also returns you to DOS without changing the  screen.
    In LIST PLUS, the ESCape key is also used to cancel an operation, or
    to exit file selection menu.

    The X command  returns you to  DOS and clears  the screen.	The  DOS
    prompt is on the top line of the screen.

    The Alt-X command uses the screen saving feature.  It returns you to
    DOS and displays the screen that you had before LIST was run.


Entering Commands

    You enter  commands by  pressing a	single key,  or a combination of
    keys.  There  are often  several ways  to perform  the same function
    with different keys.  For example, D and PgDn both perform a  scroll
    down one page function.   This lets you pick  the keys that you  are
    most accustomed to.

    When  you  press  keys,  they  are	entered  into a keyboard buffer.
    Holding down a key can put many copies of that key into the  buffer.
    This means that when you let up  on a key, the program can still  be
    processing input from the keyboard buffer.	For example, by  holding
    down the PgDn key, LIST scrolls down one page for each time the PgDn
    key is placed in the keyboard  buffer.  When you let up on	the key,
    the buffer may not yet be empty and LIST will continue to page down.
    To make  LIST stop	when you  let up  on a	key, you  use the  Alt-K
    key-ahead toggle.

    Keyboard enhancement utilities,  such as PCED,  may also change  the
    way that LIST reads the keyboard.  With PCED, for example,	pressing
    the ESCape key at a prompt is different.  You do not see the /  that
    DOS normally sends when you cancel an input line.

    Operation with DOSKEY, 4DOS and NDOS is not special.

Display Format

    The monitor  display is  defined in  terms of  lines and columns.  A
    typical  monitor  can  display  25	lines  of 80 columns each.  LIST
    attempts to use the number of lines and columns for the monitor mode
    in use.  For  example, if the  monitor is in  132 column mode,  LIST
    displays 132 characters per line.	If the monitor is set  for other
    than 25 lines, such as 35, 43, or 50 lines, LIST displays that  many
    lines per screen.

    If	you  use  the  Alt-E  command  to  change EGA/VGA modes, the EGA

Scrolling


    You view different parts of the file by scrolling.	That is, you use
    the cursor	positioning keys  up, down,  left and  right to move the
    display one  increment in  that direction.	 For example,  press the
    down  arrow  key  to  move	the  display  one line in the file, i.e.
    display the next line in the file.

    The PgDn and PgUp  cursor keys move the  display one full screen  in
    either direction.

    Rather than press the up and  down keys once for each line,  you may
    use  continuous  scrolling.   Use  the  C  key  to toggle continuous
    scrolling on or off.  The default is off.  When toggled on, pressing
    the up or down arrow keys results in a moving display.  For example,
    when  you  press  the  down  arrow,  the  next  line  of the file is
    displayed automatically  every second,  or so.   It is  like holding
    down the arrow key.  To stop the continuous scroll, press the  space
    bar.

    The speed of the continuous scroll can be adjusted by pressing the +
    (plus) or - (minus) key while  the display is moving.  The plus  key
    makes  the	display  move  faster,	and  the minus key makes it move
    slower.  You can save the  speed value by using the  cloning command
    (see Configuring LIST, Cloning, later on in this documentation.  The
    speed is  independent of the computer speed and can be adjusted from
    approximately 50 lines per minute to 1000 lines per minute.


	Summary of scrolling commands:


	    right arrow - move display right 10 columns
	    left arrow	- move display left 10 columns

	    down arrow	- display next line of file
	    up arrow	- display previous line of file

	    PgUp key	- display previous "page", 23 (or 41) lines back
	    PgDn key	- display next "page", 23 (or 41) lines ahead

	    C key	- turns continuous scrolling on or off

	    spacebar	- or any key, interrupts continuous scrolling

	    + (plus)	- makes continuous scroll incrementally faster
	    - (minus)	- makes continuous scroll slower

Positioning to Lines

    Each displayable line  of the file	is assigned a  line number.  The
    first line is  assigned line number  1.  The highest  allowable line
    number is 16 million.

    In order to  determine the last  line number of  a file, the  entire
    file must be  read.  For this  reason, the first  time that the  END
    (bottom) command is issued, it will take longer to process.  This is
    not necessary if  the file has  been completely read  (see the Alt-L
    preloading option).

    If the Wrap option is in  effect, there is one line number	required
    for each 80 bytes of the file's records.  Thus, the line number does
    not represent the actual number of lines in the file.

    If	the  hex  dump	option	is  in	effect, there is one line number
    required for  each 16  bytes of  the file.	 For example, an 80-byte
    line will be displayed as 5 lines.

    You may position to a  specific line number by using  the Ctrl-Home,
    or the # key.  When Ctrl-Home  is entered, you are prompted for  the
    line number.   Enter the  line number.   The display  will now begin
    with that line number at the top of the screen.

    To position  forward or  backward, you  may use  the +  (plus), or -
    (minus) keys.  You are prompted to	enter the number of lines to  be
    skipped.  The display  resumes at the  line number shown  on the top
    (status) line, plus or minus the number of lines that you specified.

    When you change  a filter option,  such as Wrap,  the line numbering
    changes.  An attempt is made  to retain the same file  position, but
    the file may be repositioned at the top.

    You may also reposition to the last "active" line by using the Alt-Y
    bookmark command.	The last  active line  is one  displayed after a
    Scan or Find command, or marked using the  Alt-M or  Alt-B commands,
    or the line set by the Ctrl-Y bookmark command.  Up to ten book mark
    lines may be saved by Ctrl-Y and recalled by Alt-Y


    Summary of positioning commands:


	Ctrl-HOME, or #  - Prompts for exact line number to display

	+ (plus)	 - Prompts for the number of lines to skip

Filtering


    Filtering is the term used to describe the process that LIST uses to
    format file data  for displaying on  a monitor.  After  data is read
    from a file, it is	filtered.  The method of filtering  depends upon
    the options in effect.   LIST is fastest with no filter options set.

    For a typical  ASCII text file,  the filter removes  carriage return
    and line feed characters, and expands TAB characters.

    Because files  contain different  kinds of	data, there  are several
    commands to  tell LIST  how to  display the  data.	The process that
    LIST uses to make the  file data readable is called  filtering.  The
    filters in LIST can:

	    o  replace non-text and control characters with blanks
	    o  expand TAB characters
	    o  display line drawing characters
	    o  change 8-bit (W*) data to readable 7-bit text **
	    o  display the hexadecimal values for each character
	    o  remove "junk", such as control codes and backspaces

	   **  W* is an abbreviation for WordStar (tm) formatted files
	       which contain 'high-bit' characters. Using the '*' filter
	       makes these files easier to read.

    LIST was designed primarily to display ASCII files;  that is,  files
    which  contain  text,  and	not  binary  or  control  codes.    Text
    characters, like A-Z and 0-9,  are in the 7-bit range.  Binary files
    like .COM and .EXE files, contain the full range of 8-bit characters
    and the  Alt-H (hex dump display)  command is available  for viewing
    them.

    Characters	above  127  (the  8-bit  range)  may  be  valid  graphic
    characters, and may  be displayed if  the '8' command  is in effect.
    To insure that characters above  ASCII value 127 are NOT  displayed,
    use the '7' command to limit the display to characters in the  7-bit
    range.

How to use LIST
______________________________________________________________________________

Filtering


  Wrap Filter

    The file is displayed with one logical record on each display  line:
    usually 80 characters.  A logical record ends in a linefeed and  may
    be up to 2048 characters long.   If a record  exceeds 80 characters,
    you may view the portion beyond  the 80 columns by using the  scroll
    right command, or by using	the Wrap feature.  The Wrap  (W) command
    toggles ON or OFF the  wrapping of lines longer than  80 characters.
    With Wrap on, lines are  displayed in their entirety, 80  characters
    per  display  line.   The  scroll  left  (arrow)  and  right (arrow)
    functions are disabled when Wrap is ON.


  Hi-bit Filter

    The 7,  8, and  * (asterisk)  commands determine  whether characters
    above  ASCII-127  are  displayed.	If  the  hi-bit option is off (7
    command), the filter strips the high order bit from each  character.
    If the hi-bit  option is on  (8 command), all  characters, including
    graphic characters above ASCII-127, are displayed.


  Star Filter

    The  star  (*  or  asterisk)  command displays only ASCII characters
    below 128 (x'80'), but treats the special characters x'8A' and x'8D'
    as	line-feed  and	carriage-return  control  characters.  Any other
    characters above 127 are treated as spaces, and control codes  below
    ASCII-26 are replaced by blanks.


  Junk Filter

    The  Alt-J	command  toggles  the  "junk"  filter which insures that
    carriage  returns  in  the	file  also  result in a new line.  Also,
    backspace  characters  result  in  "backing  up"  the display by one
    position.	This   allows  more   readability  of	files  that  use
    backspacing to emphasize, or over-write, characters.

How to use LIST
______________________________________________________________________________

Filtering


  Hex Format Filter

    The hex  dump option  (Alt-H) causes  the filtering  to reformat the
    file data into a DEBUG-like  display format.  The largest file  that
    can be displayed in Hex is 4 million bytes.

    An attempt is made to  retain the file position when  switching from
    normal to  hex-dump display,  but due  to filtering  changing record
    lengths, the hex display may begin before the current record.

  Tab expansion filter

    The tab expansion option (Alt-T) cause LIST to insert spaces into a
    a line.  The default tab expansion interval is eight spaces resulting
    in placing non-blank data in columns 1, 9, 17, 25, etc.  The Ctrl-I
    command can be used to change the tab interval from 1 to 99.

    Summary of filtering commands:

	8	show all characters as-is
	7	strip the hi-bit from each character
	*	use the star filter to remove control characters
		and some special word processor characters

	Alt-J	use the "junk" filter
	Alt-H	use the "hex" filter to display in hex dump format
	Alt-T	expand TAB control characters
	Alt-W	wrap long lines to fit on screen

	Ctrl-I	define TAB interval

Scanning for text


    There are three ways  to initiate a search	for text.  First is  the
    Find (\ or F) command.  Use this command to search for text  without
    regard to the case (upper or  lower) of the letters.  Second is  the
    Scan (/ or S) command.  Use  this command to search an exact  match.
    That is, the search is case-sensitive.

    The third way to initiate a  search for text is with the  /F command
    line switch.  With it, you supply  the text to search for, and  LIST
    begins the search before displaying the file, and before asking  for
    commands.  The search continues  through all selected files  until a
    match is found, or the last file has been searched.  This search  is
    case-insensitive.

    Search text may contain  wildcard characters.  A wildcard  character
    always matches. LIST uses the  question mark (?) as  this character.
    To search for a question mark, an escape character	is used  to tell
    LIST how  to treat	the  question  mark  character.  LIST  uses  the
    ampersand (&) as the escape character.

    Each search begins at  the line displayed on  the top of the  screen
    and proceeds in a forward direction until the end of file.	You  may
    start a search that goes backwards rather than forwards by using the
    ` (left quote) key instead of Find (\), or by using ' (right  quote)
    instead of Scan (/).

    To enter the Scan search text, type a slash (/) followed by up to 31
    characters.  The Scan  text is displayed  on the command  line.  The
    Scan is  case-sensitive.   That is,  lower case  Scan text will only
    match lower case file text.

    While the program is searching for the text, the bottom display line
    is changed to say "Looking".   Pressing ANY key while the  search is
    in progress will terminate the search and display the message  'Text
    not found' on the bottom line.

    If the  text is  found, the  line containing  it is  displayed as  a
    high-intensity line (bright color) in  the middle of the screen. The
    search text is displayed in reverse video colors on the  highlighted
    line.  The line where the  found text  is displayed  depends on  the
    setting of the "Find Row" (see Configuration section).

    The display is scrolled left or right, as needed, so that the  found
    text is visible.

    If the text is  NOT found, the command  line is changed to	say '***
    Text not found ***', and the rest of the display remains unchanged.

Scanning for text


    To	find  the  next  occurrence  of  the  same  text, use the A)gain
    command, or press the  F3 key.  If you  wish to continue the  search
    through all of the remaining files, use the Alt-A command.	To  find
    the previous occurrence, press the F9 key.

Scanning for text

    If a keyboard enhancement  program, such as PCED, is  installed, the
    up/down  cursor  keys  may be  used  to recall  and edit  previously
    entered Scan/Find text.

    In	a  shared  file  environment,  if  the	file changes while being
    listed, the file position may become invalid.  Use the HOME  command
    to	insure	proper	file  synchronization,	or  use the Alt-S (share
    files) command again.

|   The speed of text searching depends on whether the search text is
|   case sensitive, or not, and upon which filters are in use. Case
|   sensitive search is faster than case-insensitive search. Searching
|   without the tabs (Alt-T) and Junk (Alt-J) filters is faster; and
|   searching with the 8 filter is faster than the 7 or star (*) filters.

    Summary of scanning commands:


	   / or S     Scan for text with exact match

	   v or '     Scan for text going backwards


	   \ or F     Find text with case-insensitive search

	   ^ or `     Find case-insensitive text going backwards


	   F3 or A    Find next occurrence of text

	   F9	      Find previous occurrence of text


	   Alt-A      Scan for next occurrence of the text, and continue

Marking and Extracting Lines


    There are two ways that lines can be extracted from a file:

	      o  with the P (print) and Alt-P (print marked) commands,
	      o  with the Alt-D (dump data) and Alt-O commands.

    The  lines	to  be	extracted  are	either	the current lines on the
    screen,  or  lines	that  you  have  marked with the Alt-M and Alt-B
    commands,  or  a line found by the Find or Scan commands.

    To mark  lines, you  use either  the Alt-M	or Alt-B  commands.  The
    Alt-M command marks the top line on the screen, and Alt-B marks  the
    bottom line on the screen.	You  can use either or both commands  to
    mark the  starting and  ending lines  (in the  range of  lines to be
    extracted).  The marked lines are displayed in reverse video.

    After you have marked  a range of lines,  you use the Alt-P  (print)
    command to print all of the marked lines.  Or, you can use the Alt-D
    (dump  data)  command  to  write  those  lines to a file.  The Alt-D
    command asks you for a file name.  If the file does not exist, a new
    one is created.  If the file already exists, the extracted lines are
    added (appended) to the file.  If no lines are marked, Alt-D  either
    writes the current line (top line) or the highlighted line	that was
    found by the Find or Scan commands.

    For example, you would like to have LIST filter out all of the  junk
    in a file, and then write a  new file.  To do this, you might  enter
    the following sequence of commands:

		list TESTDATA		... display your TESTDATA file
		Alt-J			... filters out the junk
		Alt-M			... marks line 1 (top line)
		END			... positions to end of file
		Alt-B			... marks the bottom line
						     (last line)
		Alt-D			... dumps data to a file
		TESTDATA.NEW		... you enter the new file name
		Alt-X			... quit and return to DOS

    Once you have marked  a range of lines,  use of Alt-M or  Alt-B does
    not reset the entire line range.  The first or last marked line  may
    change,  but  both	do  not  change.   Using  Alt-M again expands or
    contracts the range appropriately.	If the new line for  Alt-M/Alt-B
    is before the top mark, the top  mark is moved.  If the new line  is
    after the bottom mark, the bottom mark is changed.	If the new  line

Marking and Extracting Lines


    If no lines are marked, but there is a "found" line on the screen as
    the result of a search by Scan or Find, Alt-D  and Alt-O  will write
    the found line to the file.

    Use the Alt-U command to unmark lines, especially after Alt-D (dump)
    to be sure.

Printing


    The file may be PRINTed as it is displayed, in its entirety, or from
    a range of lines that you  mark.  If the printer is not  online, you
    will receive an error message, and nothing will be printed.


    The P command  toggles the printer	on or off.   When first entered,
    the P command causes the current screen to be printed.  As new lines
    are displayed, they too are printed.  For example, pressing the down
    arrow will display and print the next line of the file.


    Printing may be  stopped by entering  another P command.   The PrtSc
    key may also be used, but the title and prompt lines will be printed
    with the lines of the file.  Empty lines cause a line to be  skipped
    on the  printer.  The  capital letter  P is  displayed on the status
    line while printing if the bottom line is set to show TOGGLES.


    The Ctrl-P command prints the file in its entirety.


    The Ctrl-F command	sends a form  feed to the  printer.  The printer
    defaults to the  LPT1 or  PRN device;  this can  be changed with the
    LISTOPT customization program supplied with registration.

    The Alt-P command prints only lines that have been marked.

Displaying multiple files

    You can display more than one  file at a time.  LIST keeps	track of
    up to 32 files at a  time.	You supply the filenames in  the command
    line,  through  the  Alt-F	(get  new filespec) command, through the
    Alt-I  (insert  filespec)  command,  and  through  the  Alt-V   file
    selection menu.  The  Alt-F command is disabled when viewing a piped
    file.

    You  can  specify  up  to  16  filespecs  on the command line.  Each
    filespec can contain wildcards.  Thus, several files can be selected
    via the command line.  For example,

			  LIST *.DOC  *.TXT

    will display all files with an extension of DOC and TXT.

    To display the next file, you use the Q or Ctrl-PgDn command.   When
    the last file has been displayed, you can exit LIST by using the  X,
    F10, ESCape, or Alt-X commands, depending on how you want the screen
    to look when LIST ends.

    To display	the previous  file,  you use the Z or Ctrl-PgUp (control
    and PgUp keys together).  The 1 command  restarts the  displaying of
    files  with the first file.  LIST  can keep  track of up to 32 files
    at one time.  The line number for each file is remembered.

    The Alt-F asks you for a new  file name, and you may enter a  simple
    file name, or  one that includes  wild cards.  These  new file names
    are added to the table of filenames that LIST keeps.  Thus, you  can
    use Alt-F for several different filenames, and use the Ctrl-PgDn and
    Ctrl-PgUp commands to move among them.

    The Alt-I command  allows you to  select a filespec  that is in  the
    file you are  viewing.  You position  the cursor to  the filespec on
    the  screen,  and  press  enter  to  add  it to the list of files to
    display.

    The Alt-V command displays a list of file in the current  directory.
    You move the cursor  to a file that  you want to display,  and press
    enter to add that file to the list.

Split Screen Display


    LIST can  display data  in one  or two  parts of  the screen  called
    windows.   The  Alt-W  command  toggles  this  split  screen   mode.
    Entering Alt-W while the screen  is split restores the display  to a
    single, full sized display.


    In the regular version, the screen is split in the middle.	The  top
    half of the screen remains the same, and the bottom half becomes the
    part of the screen where  files are scrolled.  Thus, the top  window
    becomes a scratch pad.


    In the LIST PLUS version, you are allowed to split the screen at any
    point.  After entering Alt-W, you  are asked to position the  cursor
    to the spot where the screen  will be split.  By placing the  cursor
    in column 1, you can adjust how  many lines will be used by the  top
    and bottom windows.  This would  be a vertical, or one  window above
    the other, split.

    By positioning the cursor to the top line with the HOME key, you can
    then use the left  and right arrow keys  to adjust how wide  each of
    the windows is to be.   This would be a horizontal,  or side-by-side
    split.

    You may display  a different file  in each window,	and move between
    them.  You use the Ctrl-V command  to switch from one window to  the
    other.  You may also use the Review commands to display a  different
    file in the second window.	 The Ctrl-V command has no effect unless
    you are  viewing two  or more  files, i.e. a different  file in each
    window.

    Each window uses different colors.	 You can use the color	commands
    to set the colors that you	like, and then use the Alt-C  command to
    save them.

Telephone dialer


    LIST has a simple telephone dialer function.  It allows you to point
    to a telephone number that is  displayed on the screen, and to  send
    dialing commands to your modem on COM1.


    You use the  Ctrl-T command to  start the dialer.	You position the
    cursor, with the arrow  keys, to the start	of the phone number  and
    press enter.  The phone number  may contain any character, but  must
    end with a blank.  If a  highlighted line is displayed on the screen
    as a result of Find or Scan, the cursor is	initially placed  at the
    found text.

    If the phone rings, you may pick up your telephone.  Otherwise,  you
    may press <enter> to return to viewing the file, <spacebar> to  dial
    the number again, or ESCape to hang up and stop dialing.


    The Ctrl-H command hangs up the telephone.


    If you are using a communications  port other than	COM1:,	see  the
    file DIALER.PAT for  information on  changing LIST	to use	COM2: or
    another COM port.  The COM port can also be changed with the LISTOPT
    program.

DOS considerations
______________________________________________________________________________


File Sharing

    LIST uses two techniques for allowing you to share files with  other
    processes  such as programs running under multi-tasking systems,  in
    other windows, or on networks.

    The first technique is called  "file closing" and is enabled  by the
    Alt-S commands.  This forces LIST to close the viewed file unless it
    needs to  read from  the file.   If enough	memory is available, the
    entire file  may be  loaded once  and thus	leave the  file free for
    exclusive access by other processes.

    The second technique is called "file sharing".  It is a function  of
    DOS and requires  DOS version 3.0  or later.  LIST	opens the viewed
    files with a DENY NONE request.  This allows other processes to read
    and write to the  file if they do  not request exclusive use  of the
    file.  If a file  is not available to  LIST because it is  locked by
    another process, you will receive the error message "File not found"
    or "Access denied".  There is  no command to enable or  disable this
    method of file sharing.  It is implicit with the use of DOS  version
    3 and later.


Invoking DOS Commands

    If the "goto DOS" option is enabled, you may invoke DOS commands  by
    using the Alt-G command.  LIST reserves about 60k of memory for  its
    own use.  This increases LIST's memory requirements to approximately
    96k when using Alt-G.  The remaining memory is available to the  DOS
    commands.  Alt-G  clears  the  screen and  invokes	the  DOS command
    processor.

    After you  have finished  entering DOS  commands, use  the DOS  EXIT
    command to return to LIST.

    To disable the "goto DOS" function, you must use DEBUG to alter  the
    option  byte  described  in  the  section  about  cloning.	 With it
    disabled, LIST requires less memory, about 66K.


Screen Saving

    If the screen saving option  is enabled, LIST saves the  contents of
    the current  display screen  when it  starts.  You	can restore  the
    original screen by exiting LIST with the Alt-X command.

    Screen  saving  requires  approximately  10k  more	memory.  This is
    sufficient to save	60 lines of  80 characters (EGA  8x6 mode).  See

Page  36						    LIST  User's Guide
DOS considerations
______________________________________________________________________________

    the section about Configuring LIST and cloning for information about
    enabling and disabling the screen saving feature.

    The  Alt-N command toggles the screen saving feature.  Its status is
    not displayed on the bottom Line.  The small version is the only one
    which defaults to disabling screen saving.

Changing Directories

    Any subdirectories contained  in the current  directory will have  a
    down arrow	next to  them.	If  you highlight  one of  these and hit
    Enter you will go to that directory.  If the directory that you  are
    in	is  a  subdirectory  itself, there  will be an up arrow followed
    by two dots. Selecting this will take you  up.  Thus, you can easily
    move around your hard disk from within LIST!
    NOTE: With Novell, the dot-dot entries may not  be displayed.  Refer
    to the SHOWDOTS parameter in th netware manual for more information.


List file

    This invokes LIST just as  you would from DOS. Simply  highlight the
    file that you wish to view, enter a carriage return, and you will be
    in LIST looking  at the selected  file.  When you  are finished, you
    may escape back to the original screen, with all of its options.

    You may also open  a window and then,  using the Alt-V command,  get
    another  file  directory  and  select  another  file to view.  Using
    Alt-W, you can load more than two files.


Copy file

    This  function  allows  you  to  copy  the	selected  file	to a new
    subdirectory.  Highlight the file you want to copy and press  ENTER.
    You will be  prompted  for the  new  path to  which you want to copy
    the selected file.	Enter  the path,  press ENTER,	and the  file is
    copied to the directory you indicated.


Delete file

    Allows  you  to  delete  any  file	in  the current directory.  Just
    highlight the file you want to delete and press D and ENTER. You will
    then be prompted  to make sure  that you want  to delete this  file.
    Enter Y if you do, and N if you do not.


Edit file

    Invokes the EDIT program for the selected file.  If you do not have
    an editor called  EDIT,  create a batch file called EDIT.BAT  which
    calls your editor with the parameters that you like. For example,

Invoke file

    Executes the selected file if it has an extension of .BAT, .COM,  or
    .EXE.  LIST reserves about 80k of memory and leaves the rest for use
    by the executed program.  The I command is not  listed on  the menu.
    There are two ways to  cancel the  Invoke function	depending on the
    CED input  option in effect.  With the  CED option	on,  press Enter
    with a blank line.	Without the CED option, press ESCape to.  If the
    CED option is on, you must supply at least one space for the program
    options or the Invoke function will terminate.


Move file

    Move  any  file  in  the  current  directory to any other directory.
    Select the file that you want to move by highlighting it and hitting
    ENTER.  You will then  be prompted for a  new path.  Enter the  path
    and the file is moved to it's new location.


Path changing

    This function allows  you to switch  to ANY other  directory on your
    system without having to exit LIST!  Enter 'P' for Path, and type in
    the full path of the directory that you would like to change to, for
    example: C:\DNLD.  You will find yourself in the selected  directory
    and still within LIST.  The "\" character may also be used to change
    to another drive and/or directory.


Rename

    Using  this  function  you	can  rename  any  file	in  the  current
    directory.	Highlight the  file that you  want to rename.	You will
    then be prompted for  the new file name.   After you have entered  a
    new file name,  you will be  prompted to make  sure that you  really
    want to rename this file.  If so, then respond with a 'Y'; if you've
    changed  your  mind,  just	answer	with  an  'N'  and  the renaming
    procedure will be abandoned.


Sort filenames

    Allows you to sort the files in the current directory by file  name,
    extension, date, or size.  Once you have completed the operation you
    will find yourself back at the menu screen of LIST. The sort methods

    include F (by filename), E (by extension), D (by date), S (by size),
    and N (no sort).  You  may add a  minus sign  to the  sort method to
    sort in descending,  rather than ascending,  order.  The sort option
    can be cloned.

Attribute display/change

    The A command can be used to display a file's attributes and to
    change them. There are four types of files attributes that can be
    changed. A letter is assigned to each one these:


		A - archive flag is on (file has not changed)
		S - the file is a system file, e.g. MSDOS.SYS
		H - the file is hidden
		R - the file is read-only (can not be deleted or changed)


    The attribute command displays the status of the attributes in lower
    case or upper case letters.  A lower  case letter,	like 'a' or 'r',
    means that the attribute is off.  An upper	case letter, like 'A' or
    'R', means that the attribute is on. For example, 'H' means the file
    is hidden, and 'h' means the file is not hidden.

    You may supply one or  more of the	attribute letters.  For example,
    replying with hs (lower case h and s)  only,  and no  other letters,
    changes the hidden attribute to unhidden and the system attribute to
    off.



1-9 up display

    This function lets you set the display to anywhere from 1 to 9  file
    names per line.   In subdirectories with  few numbers of  files, you
    will begin to see not only file name, but file size, date, time, and
    attributes as well.  You can customize this to suit your tastes. The
    1-up display includes a display of the file attributes. These are:

	     A - archive bit is on, the file is unchanged
	     H - the file is hidden
	     R - the file is marked read-only
	     S - the file is a system file

ViewArc

    This function will let you	view the directory of an  archive (.ARC,
    .ZIP, etc.) file, or self-extracting .COM and .EXE archive files. It
    requires that you have the matching FV.COM program in your	path and
    sufficient memory (about 140k).

    After you have viewed the desired file's directory, press ESCape  to
    return to the  file selection menu,  or use the  Alt-I (insert file)
    command to display a file within the archive file.

    The directory listing is written to a temporary file in  the current
    directory and is called  FVFVFVFV.FV$.  You may  tell LIST	to place
    the  temporary  file elsewhere  by setting	an  environment variable
    called LIST.  For example, to place all ViewArc and  Alt-I extracted
    temporary files on drive D in the subdirectory called TEMP,  use the
    DOS SET command prior to invoking LIST:

		     SET LIST=D:\TEMP

|   If the LIST DOS variable is not defined, the TEMP variable is used.


	    To view  archive directories,  the program	FV.COM is
	    required.  It must be located in a directory included
	    in your DOS PATH.


	    To display files within an ARChive file, the  program
	    ARCE.COM is required. It must be in your DOS PATH. For
	    ZIP files, the program PKUNZIP  must  be in your PATH.

	    Files with a .COM or .EXE extension are assumed to be
	    self-extracting LHARC (.LZH) files.

Screen Colors


    The screen's lines in the viewer may be in one of three different colors:

		o  the 'special' color for the top status line and the
		   bottom command line
		o  the 'normal' color for the file's text windows
		o  the 'bright' color for lines with Find/Scan text,
		   and for the upside-down question mark in 7-bit mode

    There is a pair  of function keys assigned	to each color.	You  use
    these  function  keys  at  any  time  to  change  the background and
    foreground colors temporarily, or  use the Alt-C cloning  command to
    make the colors permanent.	Alt-C requires that the LIST.COM program
    file be on the current drive and in the current directory unless you
    are using DOS version 3.3 or later.  With DOS 3.3, the program  file
    may have any name and may reside in any subdirectory.

    The border	is not	changed.  The  foreground color  applies to  the
    color of the characters.

    You may clone a  second set of text  colors for the second,  and any
    other windows that you may create.

    The color attributes may be changed by using these function keys:

	  For the main body of text:

		F5 - background color
		F6 - foreground color

	  For the top and bottom lines:

		F7 - background color
		F8 - foreground color

	  For the line with Find/Scan text:

		F2 - background color
		F4 - foreground

    Once you have decided upon the colors, use the Alt-C key combination
    to	change	the  LIST.COM  program	file.  This process is described
    below.

Cloning

    The screen colors, the display retrace testing (M), the file sharing
    (S), ruler (Alt-R), and other options may be permanently set in  the
    program COM file by using the Alt-C cloning function.

    For cloning to  take effect, the  program should be  called LIST.COM
    and on the current drive and in the current directory.

    There  are	THREE  versions  of  the  LIST program file.  One is the
    normal full program, which is LISTR.COM. The other, which is  called
    LISTS.COM, is a slightly smaller file that excludes the Help screen.
    The third is LIST PLUS,  found as LIST.COM.  You may use any of  the
    three  COM	files  for  cloning.   After  cloning,	you may continue
    viewing  the  file.   Several  of  the  command  toggles  are   also
    'clonable'.

    The values and toggles that are cloned are:

	     M	    =  Mono monitor, affects retrace testing. If you see
		       "snow" on your color monitor, turn off this option

	     Alt-S  =  file(s) are shared

	     W	    =  Wrap long lines

	     8/7/*  =  display all 256 values, or 7-bit, or special case

	     K	    =  flush Keyboard each time a command is read

	     Alt-H  =  hex dump display, like the DEBUG format
	     Alt-J  =  toggle "junk" filter, add LF to CR, fix backspaces

	     Alt-L  =  set on to force preloading (reading) of the entire
		       file before any lines are displayed; default is OFF

	     Alt-N  =  toggles screen saving (see Alt-X) feature
	     Alt-R  =  toggle columnar ruler on top line

	     Alt-T  =  toggle expansion of TAB characters (also Ctrl-I)
	     Alt-V  =  number of filenames per line and sort method

	     F2     =  change background color for Find/Scan text
	     F4     =  change foreground color for Find/Scan text

	     F5     =  change background color for main body of display
	     F6     =  change foreground color for main body of display

	     F7     =  change background color for top and bottom lines

 Reassigning keys

    LIST performs a function for every character that can be entered  at
    the command line prompt.  There  are 128 regular characters and  131
    extended characters.  The regular characters are numbered from 0  to
    127, and  they include  the letters  A-Z, a-z,  the numbers, and the
    rest of  the usual	single characters  found on  your keyboard.  The
    extended characters represent special function keys and combinations
    of keys, such as F1, Alt-X, Ctrl-A, and the cursor positioning keys.

    The  WHAT  table  in  LIST	has  a	one  byte  entry for each of the
    characters.  This byte is a number from 0 to 57 that represents  the
    identification of a routine that performs a function.

	For example,

	  - the ESCape key has a value	of 27 (hex 1B) and its value  in
	    the WHAT table is 16 (10 hex).  Routine number 16 is  called
	    "Done".  The "Done" routine exits to DOS.

	  - the Q key has a value of 81 (51 hex) with a routine value of
	    15	for  the  "Close"  routine.   The  "Close"  routine ends
	    viewing of the  current file and  tries to display	the next
	    file, i.e. wildcards used for the filename.  There is also a
	    lower case letter q, so be sure to change both entries.

    To change the function that a command character performs, you change
    the  value	in  the  WHAT  table  for the routine that the character
    invokes.

    For example, to  change the ESCape	key to act  like the Q	key, you
    change the routine	value for ESCape  from 16 (10  hex) to a  15 (0F
    hex).

    To find the location of the  routine value in the WHAT table,  first
    determine the value of the	character, e.g.  ESCape is 27  (1B hex),
    and then add that to the  location of the WHAT table (36C  hex); or,
    1B + 36C = 387 hex.  Finally,  use DEBUG to change the byte at  that
    location (387 hex) from a 10 hex to a 0F hex.

    For example,

	  debug list.com		; use appropriate file name
	  -e 387 0f			; change ESC to routine 15
	  -w				; old data is 10
	  -q

ARCE - Extract ARC File Utility
______________________________________________________________________________

ARCE Version 4.0g


 Description
  Use ARCE to extract files from an ARC archive file.


 Format
  The program name may be either ARCE or ARC-E.

      ARCE  [d:][path]filename.ext  [filespecs...] [d:outpath]
				      [/R]
				      [/Q]
				      [/P]
				      [/T]
				      [/5]
				      [/Gpassword]

 Parameters

	The drive and path names are optional.	If omitted, the  current
	drive and path name is used.

	The filename must be  supplied.  The extension defaults  to ARC.
	All files matching the supplied filename are processed.  The ARC
	filename may contain the * and ? wildcard characters.

	If  no	filespecs  are	 supplied,  all  files	are   extracted.
	Otherwise, only those ARC members  which match one of the  up to
	16 filespecs are extracted.

	The extracted files  may be placed  on another drive,  and/or in
	another subdirectory by following the optional filespecs with  a
	drive designator and/or path name.

	If  the  file  being  extracted  already  exists,  you are asked
	whether or not you want to over-write it.  You may use the |  /R
	option to bypass this prompt.  Use a Y followed by the |  return
	key to over-write the file.

	Use the /Q option to suppress alarm sounds, beeps, and bells.

	Use  the  /P  option  to  write  the  extracted files to the DOS
	standard output  file.	With  /P, you  may pipe  or redirect the
	output.  An initial line feed  is added to the beginning  of the
	output file.

	Use the /T option to test the archive's integrity. No files will
	be extracted.

ARCE Version 4.0g


	If the file was encrypted, use the /G option to supply the  same
	password as was used to create the file, e.g. /GSECRET.

	Use the /5 option to stop ARCE from creating the subdirectories
	for files created with the ARC /Z subdirectory option.

	o  Extract all file from TEST.ARC onto the current drive:

	      ARCE TEST

	o  Extract only file with  an extension of .ASM from the archive
	   SOURCE.ARC on drive B and in subdirectory SAVE:

	      ARCE B:\SAVE\SOURCE *.ASM


	o  Extract  all  files	from  all  ARC files in the subdirectory
	   called TEST on drive C:

	      ARCE C:\TEST\*


	o  Extract  all  files	from  PROGA.ARC  and  place the files in
	   subdirectory OLD on drive B:

	      ARCE PROGA.ARC B:\OLD


	o  Extract all files with an extension of .COM and .EXE from the
	   archive PROGS.ARC in directory NEW\WORK on drive B, and place
	   the	them  in  subdirectory	SAVE\TEST  on  drive  A; replace
	   existing file:

	      ARCE B:\NEW\WORK\PROGS *.COM *.EXE A:\SAVE\TEST /R


	o  Extract  the  file  READ.ME	from  the  archive GIZMO.ARC and
	   display it on the console instead of writing it to a file:

	      ARCE GIZMO READ.ME /P


	o  Same as above, except  pass the extracted READ.ME file to the
	   LIST file viewer:

	      ARCE GIZMO READ.ME /P | LIST /S

FV - Verbose Archive Directory Lister
______________________________________________________________________________

FV - Version 1.45


 Description
    The purpose of FV is to display the names and attributes of files
    contained within archive files.  Archive files may have the
    extensions of ARC, ARJ, ZIP, PAK, DWC, LZH, ZOO, LBR.  FV can also
    process most self-extracting COM and EXE files created by archive
    utilities.

    LIST Plus executes FV in response to the ViewArc command. The output
    of FV which is normally displayed is written to a temporary file
    called FVFVFVFV.FV$ in the LIST or TEMP directory. If the ViewArc
    command fails, check to be sure that there is plenty of free disk
    space on the LIST or TEMP drive (see SET LIST), or on the current
    drive.


 Format
    FV	 [d:][path]filespec[.ext] [filespecs ... filespecs]
				  [/p] [/b] [/w]
				  [/r] [/c] [/x]
				  [>outfile]



 Parameters
    If no operands are entered, a display of the program's command
    format is displayed.

    The drive and path are optional.  The filespec may contain the
    wildcard characters * and ?.  All archive files matching the file
    specification are processed.

    If the filespec extension is omitted, all known archive extensions
    are checked.

    The 'filespecs' operand limits the display to filenames within the
    archives which match this file specification.  There may be up to
    eight 'filespecs'.

    Use the /p parameter to pause the display when the screen fills.

    Use the /b parameter to suppress the d:\path information in the
    display.

    Use the /w parameter to display member names only in a 5-up display.

    Use the /c parameter to display archive and file comments for ZIP

    files.

    The /r redate option changes the archive file date to be the latest
    date of the files within the archive.

    The /x option converts a self-extracting (.EXE) file to a new archive
    file with the proper extension and format in the current directory.

    The date format for LU .LBR files varies.  The format used by FV
    adheres to the LU86 standard.
