Directory Maven

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• DM.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 33.5 KB
• DMCONFIG.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 6.2 KB

No need to put DM.TXT, FILE_ID.DIZ: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 10.7 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy DM.EXE, DMCONFIG.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

Installation
     Copy DM.EXE into one of your path directories so that it can be
     executed from any directory.  Type PATH at the DOS command line to
     see a list of your path directories, each separated by a ";".
     Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to modify your PATH.

     DMCONFIG
     If you have a monochrome monitor, you may need to run DMCONFIG.EXE
     to change the screen colors from the default color setting to
     black and white colors only.  DMCONFIG will modify DM.EXE with
     the new color settings.

     Scan File
     Directory Maven scans the directories on your drives and stores
     this list in a file called DM.DAT.  By default, DM.DAT will be
     stored in the same directory as DM.EXE.  However, this will cause
     problems if DM.EXE is on a network drive and being shared by many
     users.  Therefore, Directory Maven will first look for a DOS
     environment variable called DIRMAVEN that points to the location of
     DM.DAT.  Use the SET command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to define an
     environment variable (e.g. SET DIRMAVEN=C:\GLOBAL).  If this
     variable does not exist then Directory Maven looks for a one-line
     ASCII text file called DM.CFG in the same directory as DM.EXE.
     DM.CFG will specify the location of DM.DAT.  To create a DM.CFG
     file that specifies C:\ as the DM.DAT directory, type the following
     lines at the DOS command line:

     COPY CON DM.CFG <Enter>
     C:\ <Enter>
     <Ctrl-Z> <Enter>

     Finally, if DM.CFG does not exist, then Directory Maven stores
     DM.DAT in the same directory as DM.EXE.

     First Time Operation
     Start Directory Maven by typing DM at the DOS command line and
     press Enter.  Press F2.  Type in the letters representing the
