It allows you to move the name in your disk directories around into any order, add lines to your directories, add comments, change file types, change the names of files, locks and unlocks files ( lock refers to scratch protect files ) and cleans your directories. The first thing you must do is insert a disk into the drive and choose option . This will read into memory the directory of the disk you have in the drive. After the directory has been read you will be returned to the main menu. If you want to just clean the directory you would now choose option . This will rewrite the directory back onto the disk and eliminate any holes from old scratched files which may have been in the directory. As an example let's say you just got through scratching a bunch of files on the disk and you want any new files you add to the disk to be at the end of the directory. If you just add the files they will start popping up starting where you scratched the old files. Maybe in between two files that go together. When you rewrite the directory with Directory Modifier it will clean out any of these old names and any files you add will go to the end of the directory as you wanted them. Let's say you have a disk where you already added the other files and your directory is all messed up. Just choose option to edit the directory. You will now see part of the directory displayed on the screen and can cursor up and down in the list. At this point you can press the to have the help menu come up. Let's switch the last name in your directory with the first one. Place your cursor on the first name in the list and then press . Now move you cursor to the last name in the list then press again. The names will now switch places. Let's move the last name in the list to the first position and insert it there. Move your cursor to the last name and press . Now move your cursor to the first name in the list and press again. The name has now moved from the bottom to the top and moved all the other names down one. Let's insert a line between the first and second name. Move your cursor on top of the second name and then press <-> or <=> depending on what type of line you would like. For deleting a line you would position the cursor on the line you want to delete and then press . You can only delete a line created by Directory Modifier. You can add comments by inserting a line then position your cursor on the line and press to change the name. The rest should be pretty easy to understand and use. Note: Remember to choose option after you have finished modifying a directory, because if you fail to re-write the directory no changes will be made. öp öcFINAL COMMENTS We would like to here from you about what kind of software you need, the software you use, what you use your computer for, what you would like your computer to do that it can't do now, if you are planning to buy another computer and what it will be, or where you think your computer will be two years from now. öp Please address all comments or submissions to: SOFTWARE UNLIMITED P.O.
