Display PPN info for disk - David Byrne, WPS Group London DCD Version 1.2(105) (See Bug fixes for changes from previous versions) Disk PPN information at a glance - FURTHER ENHANCED. Program Description: DCD displays the mounted disks on the system, the PPns and ersatzes on a selected disk, and the files in a selected PPn. It provides a friendly means to move between PPns and by allowing a description to be associated with each PPn, makes having to remember which PPn has been used for which purpose easier to remember. Program use: In Version 1.2, DCD may be called in the following ways: 1. DCD Display PPns and ersatzes for the current device. If a text file called WHO.AMI containing a one-line description has been created in a PPn, this will also be displayed, so that the purpose of each PPn may be shown. Use control-T for next page, arrow keys to select PPn to log into, 'G' to log into selected PPn, 'F' to display the files in the selected PPn, and 'L' to label a PPN with a description (automatically creates a WHO.AMI file in the PPN). In the file display, use ESC to redisplay PPns, control-T for next page or 'Q' to exit. 2. DCD Display PPns and ersatzes for specified device. Display and use as for 1 above. 3. DCD/D Display currently mounted devices, with their labels and creation date, and allow one to be chosen using the arrow keys. The labels are created using the AMOS LABEL command, David Pallmans DSKLBL program or some similar program. Use control-T for next page, 'Q' to quit, arrow keys to select a disk, 'P' to display the PPns for the selected disk, and in addition to the options for the PPn display in 1 and 2, ESC will return to the disk screen so that another device may be selected for display. DCD has been written in AlphaC, Version 1.3C. Version 1.2(104) Enhancements and bug fixes: 1. When logged into [1,2] options to add/delete PPNs are displayed. These (obviously) should be used with care. 2. A bug existed in earlier versions where files in the final block of the UFD weren't displayed. This has now been remedied. Version 1.2(105) Bug fix: 1. Fixed bug where files in first block of UFD were displayed twice if there was only one UFD block. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCD WARRANTY This program is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
