Here are descriptions of two other Shareware programs produced by Gulf Sierra, DISKLIST and PC-ACCOUNT. DISKLIST DISKLIST is designed to print the directory of a disk on a sheet of paper in a format that is the size of the floppy so that it can be trimmed to fit into the floppy disk sleeve. It will also send the output to the screen or to a file. DISKLIST lists the contents of all of the subdirectories on the disk. DISKLIST provides an easy method to configure the output. Here is an example of one output of DISKLIST. ASCII lines were selected for this display so that it would print properly on all printers. If your printer can print the IBM graphics characters (lines, boxes, etc.) then you can select IBM lines and the frame will be smooth single or double lines. -------------------------------------------------- | GREAT SHAREWARE | | Volume ID is DISKLIST | | 1,457,664 Total Space 893,440 Bytes Free | |------------------------------------------------| | A:\ 153,664 BYTES | | DISKLIST.DOC 34,377 08/15/90 19:32:16 | | DISKLIST.EXE 119,144 08/14/90 22:02:18 | | DISKLIST.PRM 124 03/25/90 11:11:48 | | DISKLIST.TTL 19 03/25/90 11:05:06 | | | | A:\PC-ACCOU.NT 230,862 BYTES | | PCACT220.EXE 156,150 11/08/89 19:03:52 | | PCACT220.TXT 6,838 11/09/89 18:30:42 | | PCDOC220.EXE 67,874 11/08/89 19:09:22 | | | | A:\SHERLOCK 175,967 BYTES | | SHERLOCK.DOC 30,895 08/15/90 19:35:14 | | SHERLOCK.EXE 145,072 08/15/90 19:44:04 | |------------------------------------------------| | 9 Files 08-17-1990 18:46:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Created by DISKLIST | -------------------------------------------------- This is shown in the 5.25 inch normal format. DISKLIST can also print it in the 5.25 inch compressed format which will contain two columns of file names, or in the 3.5 inch compressed format, one column. Some of DISKLIST features are: It has been extensively adapted to printing on laser printers. A complete set of laser commands are supplied and can be edited for each format. DISKLIST can download user soft fonts. It has 33 formats that print from one to six columns of file names with options to include date, time and file size. It can print a border around a list to be cut out, or omit the border for stick on labels. It can list the files inside of ZIP, ARC, PAK, LHZ, and ZOO. There are nine date formats to choose from for the file dates. It can print on a clever diskflap for 3.5" diskettes. Construction of a diskflap is described in the documentation under the heading DISKFLAP. Below is an example of another format for the DISKLIST output. It can be seen on the computer screen and printed on a printer setup for IBM graphics. If this figure is not framed in continuous lines, then your printer is not setup for IBM graphics. Read your printer manual to determine if it is possible to switch to that mode. Otherwise, you can still use DISKLIST with the ASCII character frame as previously illustrated. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � GREAT SHAREWARE � � Volume ID is DISKLIST � � 1,457,664 Total Space 893,440 Bytes Free � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � A:\ 153,664 BYTES � � DISKLIST.DOC 34,377 08/15/90 19:32:16 � � DISKLIST.EXE 119,144 08/14/90 22:02:18 � � DISKLIST.PRM 124 03/25/90 11:11:48 � � DISKLIST.TTL 19 03/25/90 11:05:06 � � � � A:\PC-ACCOU.NT 230,862 BYTES � � PCACT220.EXE 156,150 11/08/89 19:03:52 � � PCACT220.TXT 6,838 11/09/89 18:30:42 � � PCDOC220.EXE 67,874 11/08/89 19:09:22 � � � � A:\SHERLOCK 175,967 BYTES � � SHERLOCK.DOC 30,895 08/15/90 19:35:14 � � SHERLOCK.EXE 145,072 08/15/90 19:44:04 � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � 9 Files 08-17-1990 18:46:20 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Created by DISKLIST � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 This is shown in the 5.25 inch normal format. DISKLIST can also print it in the 5.25 inch compressed format which will contain two columns of file names, or in the 3.5 inch wide compressed format, one column. PC-ACCOUNT PC-ACCOUNT is a personal accounting system with data base retrieval capabilities. With it, you can discard your checkbook ledger. Its most unique feature is its ability to print on any personal check. Personal checks are usually not designed for the normal line spacing of 6 lines per inch. This program utilizes the variable line spacing of most printers to achieve the efficiency and accuracy of having your computer print on your checks. A utility lets you create formats for fifteen different checking accounts. The check is printed as soon as the transaction is completed. The amount is printed on the check in words. A directory is maintained of check payees and memo data to be printed on the check, such as its purpose or your account number with the payee. Payees are selected by number, and the name and memo are automatically transferred to the check. Searches can be made for all transactions against an account, for a user defined code, for an amount, for a text string within the comment, or for a check number. These searches can be made through any selected consecutive months, so a full years transactions in a specific category can be retrieved at tax time. Recurring transactions such as loan payments and cash distributions to accounts can be saved, edited and invoked on command for auto entry. There is a routine that can reconcile your bank statement swiftly. Another routine double checks the line by line totals in your checkbook. This system makes full use of the features of the IBM PC. All 10 function keys are used. Listings of accounts and transactions can be output to the screen, to the printer, to a disk text file, or to a file that can be imported by Lotus 1-2-3. This software works on the IBM PC/XT/AT with 256K of free memory and at least 1 double sided disk drive. It runs under PC DOS 2.0 and later versions. It is distributed on bulletin boards, CompuServe, and by Shareware disk vendors. It comes in three files: PCACT220.TXT, PCDOC220.EXE, and PCACT220.EXE.
