SDUTIL

            SDUTIL will allow you to extract file records from a
       SuperDirectory data file. File records to be extracted are
       specified by listing up to 20 file extensions. If you have listed
       all your files in one large SuperDirectory data file you can
       easily extract all program file records by specifying all program
       file extensions such as: prg, tos, ttp, acc, etc. Picture files
       records could be extracted by listing pc1, pc2, pc3, neo, spc,
       img, etc. The specification of file extenders is made easier by
       the assignment of macros to Function keys F1 to F5. A list of
       file extensions can be assigned to each of these keys. The
       assignments can also be saved. 

       Detailed Instructions - 

            Copy the files SDUTIL.PRG, SDUTIL.RSC, and FKEY.DAT to the
       same folder. To run, double click on SDUTIL.PRG. A standard GEM
       menu bar will appear. 

            First load a SuperDirectory data file (extension .SD) by
       clicking on LOAD under the File title. The file selector will
       appear. Select a file to be loaded as usual. You will be informed
       of the total number of records in the chosen file. 

            You may then specify file records to be extracted by
       clicking on SELECT under the Filter title. A cursor will appear
       in the bottom line of the display window. You may now enter the
       file extensions or press the appropriate Function key. Always
       type three characters for each extension - use space if
       necessary. The line may be edited with the Delete and Backspace
       keys. Clr/Home will clear the line. If you pressed the wrong
       Function key, just press another - the line will be replaced with
       the macro assigned to the last Function key pressed. When you are
       satisfied with the list of extensions, press Return. You will be
       informed of the number of extracted records. 

            You may then save the extracted records to a SuperDirectory
       data file by clicking on SAVE under the File title. A File
       Selector will appear. Save the file as usual. 

            If you want to extract another set of file records just
       SELECT another Filter and SAVE. All of the original records
       remain in memory, so you may extract as many sets of file records
       as you want without having to reload the original file.

            If you want to change the macros assigned to the Function
       keys, click on EDIT FUNCTION KEYS under the Macros title. You
       will then be shown the macros assigned to each function key.
       Press the Function key that you want to edit. Use the Delete,
       Backspace and Clr/Home keys to edit. When you are finished with a
       Function key, press Return. When you are finished editing the
       Function keys, press Esc. If you want to save the Function key
       definitions, click on SAVE MACROS under the Macro title.

       freely as long as all files, including this READ.ME file, are

       without extra charge. Version 2.0 and up will be distributed to
       registered owners only. It may not be freely distributed. Version
       2.0 will display extracted records on screen, print extracted
       records with margins and page numbers, and will allow you to add
       records manually (printing formats and the lack of manual record
       entry are definitely weaknesses in SuperDirectory).
