               Overview :               Overview :

                    The DSTUFF Package has been written to display important
               information for the DOS DIR command, "ARC" Files, DBase III
               ".DBF" Structures, and PKWare's new "ZIP" file compression
               format.  

                    Color has been extensively used in the DStuff package to
               expand the amount of information displayed without cluttering
               the screen.

               The formats currently supported are :               The formats currently supported are :

                    1. DOS directory information.

                    2. SEA "ARC" internal directory information.

                    3. DBase III or DBase III+ structure information.

                    This program will display any DOS directory in a paged
               format. D.EXE will normally display the directory information
               sorted in ascending order by file name, but with command line
               switches the information can also be sorted by the file size
               in ascending or descending order. Finally, the display can be
               switched from displaying the file size to displaying the DOS
               file date instead.

                    This program was designed to display the most needed
               directory information as quickly as possible on the computer
               screen. The program will display all the files and their sizes
               in screens of 60 entries at a time. By using color the current
               DOS attributes for each file will also be shown.

                    After each screen of information is displayed the program
               will pause and wait for the operator to press any key to
               continue. If the operator presses the ESC key or a CTRL-C (^C)
               the program will abort its operation and return to the DOS
               prompt.

               Attributes Used :               Attributes Used :

               Normal DOS File     This attribute shows files that have not               Normal DOS File
                                   been modified (written to) since the last
                                   back up.

               Archive File        This attribute shows files that have been               Archive File
                                   modified since the last back up. This
                                   information can be used for incremental
                                   back ups.

               Sub Directory       This attribute allows for quick               Sub Directory
                                   identification of all subdirectories below
                                   the displayed directory. A subdirectory
                                   will also have the file size field
                                   replaced with [Dir].

               Hidden File or               Hidden File or

                                   hidden from the DOS dir command. Normally,
                                   these files will not be displayed. Also,
                                   they cannot be removed with the DOS DEL
                                   command.

               Read Only File      This attribute shows files that can be               Read Only File
                                   seen with DOS DIR command but cannot be
                                   removed with the DOS DEL command.

                    When the program displays the file names it places a
               higher priority on hidden files than system files. So any file
               that is tagged as both hidden and system will be displayed as
               hidden. 

                    The program will work with a monochrome display but will
               only display a limited amount of file attribute information.

                    Normally the directory is sorted alphabetically by the
               file name, this can be changed to sort the directory by file
               size in ascending or descending order instead. Also, instead
               of displaying the file size the program can display the file
               date. These options can be enabled by using the following
               command line switches :

                    /A        This option will cause the directory to be                    /A

                    /D        This option will cause the directory to be                    /D
                              sorted in descending order by file size

                    /T        This option will switch the displayed                    /T
                              information from the file size to the date the

                    This program displays the internal directory structure of
               a SEA archive file. This information will be displayed in
               screens of 58 entries at a time. The information displayed
               consists of the following :

                    1. The file size of each member AFTER it has been
               uncompressed.

                    2. The total compressed size of all of the members. Since
               this does not include the internal header space taken for each
               Member this will not match the file size of the "Archive"
               file.

                    3. The total extracted size of all of the members. This
               is the total disk space that will be used if ALL of the
               members are extracted.

                    4. Any members that have been "Squashed" will be
               displayed with the red color and all other members will be
               displayed in white. Any member compressed in this manner must
               use a newer SEA product.

                    5. After the entire internal directory has been displayed
               a message will be displayed on the bottom line explaining
               which product can be used to extract ALL of the members.

                    After each screen of information is displayed the program
               will pause and wait for the operator to press any key to
               continue. If the operator presses the ESC key or a CTRL-C (^C)
               the program will abort its operation and return to the DOS
               prompt.

                                        used. The file extension ".ARC" is

                    This program displays the internal directory structure of
               a PKWare ZIP format compressed file. This information will be
               displayed in screens of 58 entries at a time. The information
               displayed consists of the following :

                    1. The file size of each member.

                    2. The total compressed size of all of the members. Since
               this does not include the internal header space taken for each
               Member this will not match the file size of the "ZIP" file.

                    3. The total extracted size of all of the members. This
               is the total disk space that will be used if ALL of the
               members are extracted.

                    4. After the entire internal directory has been displayed
               the Zip comment (if one was found) that is associated the file
               will be displayed on the bottom line. 

                    After each screen of information is displayed the program
               will pause and wait for the operator to press any key to
               continue. If the operator presses the ESC key or a CTRL-C (^C)
               the program will abort its operation and return to the DOS
               prompt.
