You will find that all operations were designed with speed as the top priority.  @Note:  64K of VDC RAM is required for the fast startup.  @Power PHPXHHHHHH@*  Ram Drive Priority System guarantees maximum benefit from your ram expansion unit.  @*  Complete set of file and disk functions  @Flexibility  @* Dual Top supports up to 4 drives! You can even install or remove the 4th drive from within Dual Top itself, with no need to run the Configure file.  @* Dual Top's program flow can be controlled by user options set in the menus.  @*  Every function has a keyboard shortcut.  @*  The keyboard can replace your mouse or joystick if they fail while DualTop is on-screen.  @*  Sort your directory in one of FIVE popular ways @XPXXXXXXX@This Demostration Manual is for BOTH the 64 and 128 versions of DualTop. Were it refers to 80 column mode or 64K VDC, or VDC, is for the 128 version ONLY. matically installed during the boot process you will need to place  @DUALBOOT and  @DUAL_TOP on your system disk.  @DHPXHHHHHH80 @Table of contents HX@0 HX8 1 Getting Started HXh0  HX      ` System Requirements 4 Installing Dual Top 4  @  HX      8 2 Learning Dual Top  @  HX      ` Window Controls 6 Command Buttons 7 Dual Top Menus 8 Shortcuts not found in the menus 8 Filetype Sorting 9  HX      0  3 Using Dual Top  HX      ` Disk Management 10 File Management 13 Disk Errors 16 BASIC 17 CBM disks 17  HX      0 4 User Options  HX      `  auto directory 18 auto sort 18 auto overwrite 18 auto preferences 18 auto video adjust 18 VDC 64K mode 18  HX      8  5 Special Features  HX      `  Ram Drive Priority System 19 Drive Swapping 19 Configuring Drive D 20 Resetting a Drive 20 Resetting Dual Top 20 Setting the Clock 20 Installing a new print driver 21 Installing a new input driver 21 Loading a Preference data file 21  HX      0 System Notes  22  HX      ` ry in one of FIVE popular ways  @XPXXXXXXX@ 80 @1 Getting Started X0 pPppppppp pPppppppp @System Requirements Recommended Equipment @`@`````` Commodore 128 512K+ Ram Expansion 128 GEOS V2.0 2nd Disk Drive RGB 80 Color Monitor 1351 Mouse 1 Disk Drive 64K of VDC RAM Input Device  Installing Dual Top from the deskTop : hH8hHHHHHH XHHHHHHHHHX Locate the  @DUAL_TOP file on the desk top. (The Icon for Dual Top is shown above). Double click on @ DUAL_TOP to start it up. Dual Top has now replaced the deskTop as the System Controller. From now on, when you exit from an application, control of the system will be passed to Dual Top. If you want to pass control of the system back to the deskTop, just double click on  @ DESKTOP. This action will pass control of the system back to the deskTop. You can also use the menu option "DESKTOP" (under the "geos" menu) to perform this same function.  @Note: 128_DualTop is an 80 column only application. If you are in 40 column mode when you execute 128_DualTop, you will have to switch your monitor to 80 column mode. XHhHHHHHHHX `HhHHHHHHH` H8HHHHHHH Auto Booting Dual Top hH8hHHHHHH XHHHHHHHHHX To have Dual Top automatically installed during the boot process you will need to place  @DUALBOOT and  @DUAL_TOP on your system disk.  @DUALBOOT must be placed after the @ CONFIGURE file to function properly. When the auto execute file  @DUALBOOT is run during the boot process, a message will be displayed on the screen showing that Dual Top has been installed.  @Note: Dual Top will install the first Print Driver and the first Input Driver on the boot disk in the same way the deskTop did.  @Note:  @DUALBOOT does NOT have to be the last auto execute file on your boot disk. Auto execute files will function normally before and after  @DUALBOOT .  @Note: If the system is in 40 column mode while booting, 128_DualTop will switch the system to 80 column mode after all auto execute files have been executed. l Top, s elect  @reset froh8hhhhhhh0 @Window Controls h8Phhhhhh00 @ 8hPhhhhhh8 There are 3 controls used for moving through the list of files in each window.  @ hPhhhhhh80 hPxhhhhhP Scrolling Arrow @ xhhhhhhhhx Click on the  @Scrolling Arrow to shift the contents of the window up or down one line.

You will be able to use the Non_GEOS disk just like any other GEOS disk. The reason for this is that Dual Top does not need an off page directory block in order to support a  @border, since Dual Top does not use a  @border . on. ect  @print from the  @file menu (or press  aP ).   Deleting a File  After @  selecting all of the files to be deleted, 8H0HHHHHHH0 @4 User Options 8pHppppppp80t System Note.  @2:  Select the option to be activated.  @3:  An ' @* ' will be placed in front of the option to indicate that it is now active. To deactivate an option:  @1:  Enter the  @option menu.  @2:  Select the option to be deactivated.  @3:  The ' @* ' will be removed from the front of the option to indicate that it is not active. auto directory  @* This option controls which drives are to be opened when Dual Top is executed.  @* If no drives are selected in the  @auto directory  sub menu, the last drive used will be opened. @  auto sort  @* If active, all directories will be sorted alphabetically before being displayed. auto overwrite  @* If active, the overwrite warning dialog box will be bypassed. HHHHHHHHHH8 @* This option is most helpful when you are updating several files from the REU to disk. Not having to approve the overwrite of each file can save a lot of time as you can start the copy process and not have to watch over it. H`H```````8 @*  Be careful with this option active, as you will not be warned of a copy overwrite of an existing file. HHHHHHHHHH8 auto preferences  @* If active, preference data will be loaded in when a disk containing a preference data file is opened. auto video adjust  @* If active, the dialog box asking for approval to change video modes is disabled. This speeds things up, as you do not have to approve the mode change whenever you run a 40 column application  @* While this option is active, a program that runs in either video mode can be forced to run in 40 column mode by having the g key in the up position. @  VDC 64K mode  @* If you have 64K of VDC RAM you will want to have this option active  @* This option allows Dual Top to save a copy of it's screen in the upper VDC memory. Using the screen copy, Dual Top can instantly draw it's screen when it is executed. There is a tremendous speed improvement with this option active. HhHhhhhhhh8 @*  DUALBOOT will automatically set this option if 64K of VDC RAM is detected during boot t with tp8Xpppp0 @4 Special Features 8pHXpppp80  Ram Drive Priority System  Ram Drive Priority was designed to take full advantage of RAM drives. When a data file is double clicked, the RAM drive will always be searched first for the data file's parent application.  @Example 1 Drive A: contains GEOWRITE and GEOWRITE documents. RAM drive B: contains applications (including GEOWRITE), fonts, desk accessories, and Dual Top. A: 1571 ;Data drive B: RAM 1571 ;Application drive 8HHXHHHH8When a GEOWRITE document is double clicked on in drive A, the Ram Priority System will search the RAM drive in slot B: first for the document's parent application (GEOWRITE) . GEOWRITE will then be loaded from drive B:, and the GEOWRITE document from drive A: will be opened. There is a great time savings here because GEOWRITE was loaded from the RAM drive instead of from the disk in drive A:. 8pHXpppp80  @Example 2 8HHXHHHH8Drives A: and B: contain data files, RAM drive C: contains applications, fonts, desk accessories, and Dual Top. A: 1571 ;Data drive B: 1581 ;Data drive C: RAM 1571 ;Application drive When a document is double clicked on in drives A: or B:, the Ram Priority System will search the RAM drive in slot C: first for the document's parent application. If the parent application is in drive C: the parent application will be loaded from drive C:, and the double clicked document will be opened.  @Note: If the parent application is not found in the RAM drive, then the real drives will be searched for the parent application.  Drive Swapping  To change the positions of the drives, select the drive pair to be swapped from the  @configure menu.  @Note : An REU is required to perform a drive swap.  @Note: Drives cannot be swapped when 4 drives are active in 40 column mode by having the  g key in the up position. @   VDC 64K mode  8hhhhhhh80 Configuring Drive D To add a 4th drive to a 3 drive setup:  @1:  Select  @configure drive D from the  @configure  menu. @ 8hHhhhhh82:  Select the  @drive type of the drive to be added from the  @configure drive D submenu. @ 8hhhhhhh803:  The disk driver is loaded from the 128 CONFIGURE file and the 4th drive is activated. @   @Note : To add a 4th drive, you must have an REU and have 3 drives configured .  @Note: Drive swapping is disabled when the 4th drive is activated. To remove the 4th drive from the system:  @1:  Select  @configure drive D from the  @configure  menu. @ 2:  Select the  @no drive from the  @configure drive D submenu. @ 3:  The 4th drive is removed from the system. @ 4:  Drive swapping is reactivated. @  Resetting a Drive To bring a drive back online after having it turned off: @ 1:  With the drive still turned off, open the drive using the drive's command button.  @2:  The error box will appear showing  @device not present . @ 3:  Turn the drive on.  @4:  Select  @Retry from the error box.  @5:  The turbo code is reinstalled in the drive.  @6: The drive is now back online and ready to use. 8HHHHHHH8Example of use: The system will be out of use for a period of time, but the system needs to remain on so that the REU does not have to be reloaded. In this case, it is desirable to turn the drives off. With this feature, the drives can be reactivated without having to enter the 128 CONFIGURE file to reinstall the drives. 8hhhhhhh80 Resetting Dual Top 8HHHHHHH8 @Reset is actually nothing more than the  @quit command found in all the other applications, desk accessories, etc. The only difference is that when Dual Top "quits", the system passes control back to Dual Top because it is the system controller. This feature is necessary for users of GEOWIZARD and CMD's SWITCHER. It allows you to exit from Dual Top after it was run from within one of these excellent pseudo multi taskers. 8hhhhhhh80To reset Dual Top, select  @reset from the  @special menu (or press C=R). @  Setting the Clock To set the Date and Time:  @1:  Click in the Date/Time box (or press  C= U) (or select  @set clock from the  @special menu). @ 8hhhhhhh802:  Enter the new date and time. @ 3:  Use the crsr keys and the space bar to move the cursor.  @4:  After the new Date and Time have been entered, press return to save. ve. rning during copying will be disabled. @ auto preferences: If acti8hhhhhhh80 Installing a New Print Driver To change print drivers:  @1:  Select the print driver to be installed. @ 2:  Select @ select printer from the  @geos menu (or press  C= S). 8hhhhhhh80 @3:  The selected print driver is now installed.  @Note: The print driver's directory position is not changed. To change the default print driver on the boot disk, use the  @swap function. Installing a New Input Device To change the input device:  @1:  Select the input device to be installed. @ 2:  Select @ select input from the  @geos menu (or press  C= I). 8hhhhhhh80 @3:  The selected input device is now installed.  @Note: The input device's directory position is not changed. To change the default input device on the boot disk, use the  @swap function. Loading in a Preference data file To load new preference settings:  @1:  Open the disk containing the preference data file.  @2:  Select @ select preferences from the  @geos menu (or press P).  @3:  The new preference settings will now be installed.  @Note: If the auto preference option is active, then there is no need to use this function. .  @6: The drive is now back online and ready to use. 8HHHHHHH8Example of use: The system will be out of use for a period of time, but the system needs to remain on so that the REU does not have to be reloaded. In hhhhhhh80 System Notes  @: hHHHHHH8 @*  The kernel has the ability to access set (CD) the same as set (AB), so supporting file copying, or any other function, is possible between the two sets. All Dual Top functions can be performed on the disks and files from both drive sets.  @*  You can run applications from drive set (CD).  @*  When a file from drive set (AB) is double clicked, the parent application does not have to be in that set. The application can reside in set (CD) and still load the double clicked data file from set (AB). You cannot open a data file from drive set (CD) by double clicking on it. Double clicking on a data file in drive set (CD) will result in the file's parent application displaying a dialog box saying IO Error 5 (File Not Found). This is because the BSW applicatons only look in the first drive set for the double clicked file.  @*  Files can be opened from drive set (CD). To do this, the parent application must be on the same disk as the file to be opened and the application must be opened first. When the application shows the list of files on the disk, the disk name at the top of the file selection box will show the name of the disk in drive B. The file listing will be correct but the disk name will not . This can be confusing if you are not expecting it.  @*  Changes made to DualTop during the change in owners: Add-On modules are no longer available. It is a shame, but necessary. They just couldn't handle anything over 3Kbytes, which limited their usefulness. To add insult to injury, noone seemed to be interested in writing a module with those restrictions. The result was that only one module was ever made and put to market.

In closing, I would like to thank Paul Murdaugh for his efforts in the CBM/GEOS community these past years.
