Ld - List Directory v1.2.1

Original Author Dave Haynie

Dated November 27, 1986

	This new version of Ld is pretty much the same, feel the same and
work the same, as the old version (v1.2.0), except for fews wrinkles that
I put.
	Ld works like the "Dir" command, except Ld show the directory
in color and in 4 columns. Here is the new usage:

	Ld [-[a][f][d][s/u]] [dirname]

'-' signifies a flag, the order doesn't matter.
'a' 	: show directory and ALL of its' subdirectory.
'f' 	: show the file only in the directory.
'd' 	: show the subdirectory only in the directory.
's/u' 	: show sorted or unsorted directory.
	  Two files are supply here, 'Ld' has sorted as a default, and
	  'Ld.un' has unsorted as a default. Suit your taste.
[dirname] is the directory you want, default is current directory.
'?'	: will show the usage, just in case.

Is that all? No, off course not.

   Ld also except the directory name which has a imbedded space, just
specified the dirname in QUOTE.
   Execution speed is the same as the old Ld and the same as Dir command.
   Long file name won't be truncated now, so you may have only two or
three columns output in one row.
   <CTRL> C will abort the program.
   The listing will pause after 20 lines, press <Return> to continue, or
"q" <Return> to abort.
   Output redirection is always supported by the DOS.
	
Example:
Ld				-> show current dir
Ld ?				-> show usage
Ld df1:				-> show dir of df1:
Ld -f				-> show current dir, file only
Ld -d df0: -u			-> show dir of df0:, dir only unsorted
Ld -auf ANY			-> show dir of ANY and its' subdir, file only,
					 unsorted
Ld "This Dir"			-> show the dir of This Dir
Ld > ram:test dh0:		-> output the dir of dh0: to ram:test file.


Last but not least, Ld is runnable from WorkBench!
For Workbench oriented people, here a tool that will able you to see
what are behind those drawer/disk.

To run it just double click the Ld icon, and it will tell you how.
Here is how to do it:
	Click the Ld icon ONCE, hold the <SHIFT> key, and DOUBLE click
	any DRAWER or DISK type icon.
	or vice versa, i.e, click the DRAWER or DISK type icon once, hold
	the <SHIFT> key, and DOUBLE click the Ld icon.

Parameters passing are also supported from the WorkBench, by "Tool Type"
argument. To set the parameter(a-all, f-file, d-dir, s/u-sorted/unsorted):

   Click the Ld icon ONCE, select the INFO menu from the WORKBENCH MENU.
It will give you the icon information. You will see "Ld", "Tools", "Comment",
and just below the comment there is a TOOL TYPES. On that line you see
the small up/down gadget, long space, ADD gadget, and DEL gadget.
Click the ADD ONCE, then click on the long Space ONCE, now you will see
a prompt (orange on default color), now just type in the parameter(s)
you want from the keyboard, such as 'a' or 'uf' etc.
Press return, and click on SAVE down on the bottom. You all set, the
next time you call Ld, it will show what you want.

Happy Lding...
