MASDIR  (pronounced  'master')  is  an  acronym  for  MASter DIRectory
System.  SDL is the main program.   To use SDL simply copy SDL.COM  to
the disk and/or directory where you keep your other DOS command  files
or utilities.  Then just use SDL in the same way you use DIR.

SDL is a Sorted Directory Listing program that is used in place of the
DOS DIR command.  You can invoke it from the DOS prompt just like DIR,
and it accepts the same file specifications (filespecs) that DIR  does
including paths and wild cards.

But there the similarity ends.  SDL has these features and more:

<>  Sorts  the  listing  alphabetically  by  name,  or  optionally  by
   extension, date, size, or (like DIR) not at all.

<> Presents the listing in 2, 4 or 6 columns of file names in easy  to
   read format.

<> The options are selectable at the DOS prompt by adding them to  the
   SDL command (like you can add /P or /W to the DIR command).

<> Many options can also be selected from a menu that is presented  at
   the bottom of the screen at  the end of the listing.

<> A setup program lets you  select your own defaults for the  various
   options by entering  single keystroke answers  to a few  questions.
   You can make SDL work the way you want it to.

<> On screen help by entering SDL /? at the DOS prompt.

<> Unique  to SDL  are some  excellent printing  capabilities!  With a
   single keystroke you can print the directory you see on the  screen
   in your choice of five print modes:

   1. Regular printing in whatever  mode your printer is set  for with
      no changes to your printer setting.

   2. A  "sleeve insert",  which is  printed on  your regular  printer
      paper in a format  that can be trimmed  to a convenient size  to
      slip into the diskette sleeve for future reference.

   3. A disk label which can be printed on the special labels that are
      included with the  SDL system kit.   This uses compressed  print
      and 8 lines per inch to fit the filenames into a small space.

   4. Another style of disk label printing which uses "tiny"  printing
      to fit even more  names onto a label.   Tiny print makes use  of
      the compressed and superscript modes that are available on Epson
      compatible printers.

   5. Print-to-file to save a file copy of the directory listing.

<> Very useful when using the print options is the ability to enter up
   to 3 lines  of titles for  your sleeve inserts  or labels.  Two  of
   these lines can  be customized with  the setup program,  and any or
   all of the 3 can be specialized for any individual listing.
