╔════════════════════════════╣ ATTRIBUTE FILTERING ╠═══════════════════════════╗
║ Press <Alt-a> to specify the attributes that a file must have to be included ║
║ in EDDY's display. When you press <Alt-a>, any previous attribute selection  ║
║ will be cancelled, and you may enter your new selection.                     ║
║                                                                              ║
║ To select an attribute, press the corresponding letter key.  Press once to   ║
║ select files which have the attribute ON; twice for files which have the     ║
║ attribute OFF; and a third time to deselect the attribute.  When an attribute║
║ has been selected, the letter in the display heading will blink; a blinking  ║
║ upper case letter means the attribute must be ON; lower case means OFF.      ║
║                                                                              ║
║ When you have selected the attribute combination you want, press <Enter>. If ║
║ you have selected more than 1 attribute, a file must have ALL of its corres- ║
║ ponding attributes set the same as your selection in order to qualify to be  ║
║ displayed (i.e., the attribute settings are "ANDed" by EDDY).                ║
║                                                                              ║
║ For example, to display only files which are not "Hidden" and which have the ║
║ "Archive" attribute (i.e., they've been changed since last backup), press <h>║
║ twice and <a> once. On the command line, "+hA" or "+Ah" has the same effect. ║
║ The "+" tells EDDY attributes are selected; attributes can be in any order.  ║
║                                                                              ║

║ Press <Alt-b> to specify the date and/or time that a file must have to be    ║
║ included in EDDY's display.  When a timestamp filter is used, it is displayed║
║ in the heading line at the top of the screen. If the filter includes a date  ║
║ value, the sort sequence will be by date; otherwise, sorting is by time only.║
║                                                                              ║
║ When you press <Alt-b>, any timestamp already in effect will be reset to all ║
║ 0's, meaning "no timestamp filtering". You may then enter the timestamp you  ║
║ want to use for selecting files to be displayed. The timestamp begins with a ║
║ ">", "<" or "=", which means select files with dates/times greater than, less║
║ than or equal to the specified timestamp.                                    ║
║                                                                              ║
║ A date of 00/00/00 means that the date will not be used for selecting the    ║
║ files. A time of 00:00 means the time will not be used. If both are zeros,   ║
║ no timestamp filtering is done.                                              ║

║ After setting the timestamp, press <Enter>. If there is an error, the cursor ║
║ will move to the field which has the error; otherwise, the new timestamp will║
║ immediately be used to reprocess the working directory, giving a new display.║
║                                                                              ║

║ With the cursor placed on the line of the display for the file you want to   ║
║ delete, press <F7> (or <F8> for "destroy"). The display will show that the   ║
║ file has been marked for deletion (or destruction) later. Subdirectories may ║
║ be deleted also, if they contain no files.                                   ║

║ "Destroy" means that the file will not only be deleted from the directory,   ║
║ but will be completely overwritten, so that the data in the file cannot be   ║
║ read or recovered. This is useful to protect sensitive or classified data.   ║

║ You can change filename, extension, date, time and attributes. Entries which ║
║ you change are flagged by an "*" at the end of the line. An "*" also appears ║

║ If you enter a character that's not valid for the field, EDDY "beeps" and ig-║
║ nores it. If you try to leave a line where you have entered bad data (e.g., a║
║ blank filename), EDDY "beeps" and puts the cursor on the field in error.     ║

║ If you enter only a drive (e.g., "C:"), the default directory for that drive ║
║ will become the new target directory.                                        ║

║ If you start the name with a "\", EDDY interprets this as a directory start- ║
║ ing from the root of the working directory's drive. If there's no starting   ║
║ "\", EDDY adds the name at the end of the working directory path string, and ║

║ For example: suppose your current working directory is C:\UTIL and the DOS   ║
║ default on drive D: is D:\WORK. Then, after pressing <Alt-t>, if you enter...║
║      ... "\" or ".."the new target will be C:\                               ║

║      ... "FOO" (or "C:FOO) the new target will be C:\UTIL\FOO                ║
║      ... "D: the new target will be D:\WORK                                  ║
║      ... "D:FOO" the new target will be D:\WORK\FOO                          ║

║ /A - Default is to turn the "archive" (or "modified") attribute off in files ║
║        copied, and on in the new copy. To leave it unchanged in both, use /A.║
║ /B - Silence the "beeper".                                                   ║
║ /C - EDDY sets the cursor size as it sees fit. To leave it unchanged, use /C.║
║ /E - Set EGA monitor to 43-line (or VGA to 50-line) text display mode.       ║
║ /F - Set filename editing. Instead of searching for a matching name, typing  ║
║        in the filename or extension field will rename the file.              ║
║ /K - Some error and status messages are displayed briefly and then disappear.║
║        /K tells EDDY to wait for a key press before clearing the message.    ║
║ /M - Monochrome monitor. Useful with mono monitor + Color Graphics Adapter.  ║
║ /P - "Play with RAM". LOOK, PATCH, FIND and/or COPY your PC's memory.        ║
║ /R - Reserve minimum memory required for EDDY. (Used only on command line)   ║

╔═════════════════════════════╣ WORKING DIRECTORY ╠════════════════════════════╗
║ <Alt-w> lets you enter a new working directory path, with or without a file- ║
║ name (which may include wildcards). If a filename is used, only files with   ║
║ matching names will appear in the new working directory display.             ║
║                                                                              ║
║ If you enter only a drive (e.g., "C:"), the default directory for that drive ║
║ will become the new working directory.                                       ║
║                                                                              ║
║ If you start the path with a "\", EDDY interprets this as a directory path   ║
║ starting from the root of the current working directory's drive. If there's  ║
║ no initial "\", EDDY adds the path at the end of the current directory path  ║
║ string, and uses that as the new working directory.                          ║
║                                                                              ║
║ For example: suppose your current working directory is C:\UTIL and the DOS   ║
║ default on drive D: is D:\WORK. Then, after pressing <Alt-w>, if you enter...║
║      ... "\" or ".."the new working directory will be C:\                    ║
║      ... "\FOO" the new working directory will be C:\FOO                     ║
║      ... "FOO" (or "C:FOO) the new working directory will be C:\UTIL\FOO     ║
║      ... "D: the new working directory will be D:\WORK                       ║
║      ... "D:FOO" the new working directory will be D:\WORK\FOO               ║
║                                                                              ║

╔═════════════════════╣ Error Recovery for COPY and MOVE ╠═════════════════════╗
║ If a read error is encountered during a COPY or MOVE operation, EDDY offers  ║
║ three alternatives:                                                          ║
║     1 - Write a block (sector) of "#" bytes in the new copy of the file in   ║
║         place of the block that cannot be read. The new copy will be the     ║
║         same length as the original.                                         ║
║     2 - Skip the bad block entirely, and write the next good block right     ║
║         after the previous block in the new copy. This obviously results in  ║
║         a new copy that is shorter than the original.                        ║
║     3 - Abort the copy/move process. In this case the DOS error code will be ║
║         displayed, and no new copy will be produced. EDDY will continue with ║
║         any other updates that may have been requested for other files.      ║
║                                                                              ║
║ After an update where choice 1 or 2 has been selected, the message displayed ║
║ for the file(s) involved will be "copied(?)" or "moved(?)", to indicate that ║
║ the new copy is not exactly the same as the original. Also, the date and time║
║ on the new copy will always be the current date and time in this case.       ║
║                                                                              ║
║ If more than one error is found on a file, all will be treated in the same   ║
║ way, according to the alternative you select when the first was encountered. ║
║                                                                              ║
