WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IF YOU.OPENED A
BOOK TO THE TABLE OF.CONTENTS AND SAW T
HAT ALL OF THE.CONTENTS WERE LISTED BUT
THAT THEY.WEREN'T LISTED IN ORDER? YOU
MIGHT.WONDER WHY THE PUBLISHER OR AUTHOR
.DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO REARRANGE THE.T
ABLE PROPERLY. AFTER ALL, IT'S A.SIMPLE
MATTER OF RE-TYPING A COUPLE.OF PAGES..
. IN A SENSE, THE DIRECTORY OF A.DISK
IS A TABLE OF CONTENTS, BUT IT'S.NOT SO
SIMPLE TO "RE-TYPE" THE.DIRECTORY..
THE DOS STORES THE DIRECTORY DATA.IN THE
ORDER IN WHICH THE FILES WERE.ADDED TO
THE DISK. FIRST SAVED,.FIRST LISTED. I
F YOU SCRATCH A FILE,.IT LEAVES A 'NICHE
' IN THE DIRECTORY.SO THAT THE NEXT FILE
SAVED WILL FILL.UP THAT NICHE... SO
THE ONLY WAY TO ARRANGE A.DIRECTORY IS T
O SAVE THE FILES IN THE.PROPER ORDER. W
HAT A HASSLE... WE NEED THE SERVICES
OF CATALOG.TOOL, THE DIRECTORY RE-ARRANG
ER,.BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LOADSTAR STAFF
..WITH IT YOU CAN EASILY MOVE FILES.AROU
ND ON SCREEN UNTIL YOUR DIRECTORY.MAKES
SENSE AS A TABLE OF CONTENTS... OF CO
URSE, SINCE THE DOS IS A.RANDOM ACCESS S
YSTEM, THE DIRECTORY.DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
IN ANY PARTICULAR.ORDER, BUT WHEN COPYIN
G A MULTI-FILE.PROGRAM FROM A DISK IT'S
A LOT EASIER.TO SEE WHICH FILES ARE NEED
ED IF THEY.AREN'T SCATTERED ALL OVER THE
.DIRECTORY. ON LOADSTAR WE LIKE TO.HAVE
ALL OF THE FILES NEEDED BY A.PROGRAM HU
DDLED TOGETHER, SEPARATED.FROM OTHER PRO
GRAMS' FILES BY A.DIVIDER FILE WHICH LOO
KS LIKE THIS:.. >------- ------
<..SINCE SOME COPIERS DON'T LIKE FILES.W
ITH IDENTICAL NAMES, WE MAKE EACH.DIVIDE
R UNIQUE BY STICKING IN A BLANK.SPACE SO
MEWHERE.. EVERY PROGRAM HAS A 'START-
UP.FILE', THAT IS OFTEN CALLED A BOOT.PR
OGRAM. THIS IS THE PROGRAM THAT.MUST BE
LOADED AND RUN TO GET THE.REST OF THE P
ROGRAM GOING. ON.LOADSTAR WE ALWAYS PUT
THE BOOT.PROGRAM AS THE FIRST FILE, RIG
HT.AFTER A DIVIDER. THE LAST FILE IN A.
GROUP IS THE "T." (TEXT) FILE THAT.HAS T
HE SAME NAME AS THE BOOT PROGRAM.EXCEPT
FOR THE PREFIX... THIS IS OUR CONVENT
ION AND WE TRY.TO STICK TO IT. IT MAY B
EHOOVE YOU.TO KNOW THIS...... CAT TOO
L (AS WE FONDLY REFER TO.IT) IS EASY TO
USE. THERE ARE.INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PROG
RAM BUT I.DOUBT IF YOU'LL NEED THEM AFTE
R YOU.TRY IT ONCE... YOU ARE GIVEN A
PROMPT TO INSERT.THE DISK YOU WANT TO WO
RK ON. YOU.DON'T NEED TO HAVE A COPY OF
CATALOG.TOOL ANYWHERE BUT ON YOUR UTILI
TY.DISK... THE FIRST THING THE PROGRA
M DOES.IS READ THE DIRECTORY OF THE DISK
..THEN THE FIRST PART OF IT IS SHOWN.WIT
H A POINTER AIMED AT THE FIRST.FILE. TH
E TOP OF THE SCREEN SHOWS.YOU YOUR OPTIO
NS... YOU MOVE THE POINTER WITH THE.C
RSR UP/DOWN KEY. WHEN IT POINTS AT.A FI
LE YOU WISH MOVED, PRESS THE.SPACE BAR A
ND "SELECT FILE" IN THE.OPTIONS MENU CHA
NGES TO "PLACE FILE"..YOU HAVE 'GRABBED'
THE FILE AND NOW.WHEN YOU USE THE CURSO
R KEY THE FILE.WILL MOVE. PUT IT WHERE
YOU WANT AND.PRESS SPACE AGAIN TO DROP I
T. EASY... IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CUST
OM-SORT.THE FILES, YOU CAN SORT.ALPHABET
ICALLY, EITHER FORWARDS OR.BACKWARDS. P
RESS A FOR A-TO-Z.SORTING OR PRESS Z FOR
Z-TO-A.SORTING. IT'S QUICK..... IF
A FILE HAS BEEN DELETED IT.STILL REMAINS
ON THE DIRECTORY AS A.DEL FILE. THE DO
S DOESN'T USUALLY.SHOW IT WHEN YOU VIEW
THE DIRECTORY,.BUT IT'S THERE. IF YOU S
AVE ANOTHER.FILE, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
THAT IT.WILL BE ADDED IN A DEL FILE'S FO
RMER.SLOT, RATHER THAN AT THE END OF THE
.DIRECTORY. THE P OPTION WILL PUSH.DOWN
ANY DEL FILE TO THE BOTTOM OF.THE DIREC
TORY WHERE THEY SHOULD BE... WHEN YOU

OU WANT, PRESS Q.AND YOU'LL BE GIVEN THE
