DIU is a ProDOS utility that will allow you to take an inventory of your
|
||
|
|
ProDOS disks and create a TXT file which could be used by AppleWorks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DIU will first ask for the Slot & Drive of the diskette to be inventoried.
|
||
|
|
This is selected using the light-bar selector. Next DIU will ask were the
|
||
|
|
information should be displayed (Printer, Screen, or Text file). With this
|
||
|
|
version 1.0B of DIU, output to text file is the only valid option. Selecting
|
||
|
|
Text file will promt for the FULL pathname of the text file to be created.
|
||
|
|
Full pathname means that you must specify the Volume name as well as the
|
||
|
|
filename [ex. /MYDISK/NEWFILE]. DIU will then read the directory from the
|
||
|
|
selected slot and drive and create a TXT file on the specified pathname.
|
||
|
|
The same TXT file may be used again for different disk. Each disk inventory
|
||
|
|
will be appended to the previous one if the same name is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create an AppleWorks Data Base file from the TXT file, follow the
|
||
|
|
following instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. From the Main Menu select option 1, "Add files to Desktop."
|
||
|
|
2. Next, select option 4, "Make a new file for the Data Base."
|
||
|
|
3. Select option 2, "Make a new file from a text (ASCII) file."
|
||
|
|
4. Enter 9 to the question "How many categories per record?"
|
||
|
|
5. Enter the complete pathname of the file created with DIU.
|
||
|
|
[ex. /MYDISK/NEWFILE]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After Appleworks has read the file, it will as for the name of the newfile.
|
||
|
|
This is the name of the Data Base file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There it is! Appleworks now has a Data Base file with an inventory of your
|
||
|
|
ProDOS disk(s).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now to fix-up the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Press OA-N for "Rename categories." The categories should be changed to the
|
||
|
|
following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CATEGORY01 = Pathname CATEGORY06 = Modified Time
|
||
|
|
CATEGORY02 = Filename CATEGORY07 = Create Date
|
||
|
|
CATEGORY03 = Type (filetype) CATEGORY08 = Create Time
|
||
|
|
CATEGORY04 = Blks (Blocks) CATEGORY09 = Endfile (Bytes)
|
||
|
|
CATEGORY05 = Modified Date
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Press OA-L to "Change record layout."
|
||
|
|
Delete "Modified Time" & "Create Time."
|
||
|
|
"Filename" should be set at 15 spaces, since this is the maximum number of
|
||
|
|
charaters allowed in a ProDOS filename.
|
||
|
|
"Type" should be set to 3 spaces.
|
||
|
|
"Modified Date" & "Create Date" should both be set at 9 spaces.
