I was asked almost immediately to meet the need, but declined thinking that someone else had already started it. With no sign of a 1581 sorter in sight I finally gave in with an "ALL RIGHT! I'LL DO IT!". I made at least one person I know (and my twisted arm) very, very happy. I now have a 1581 and a 1571 and I can understand what it is like to use the DeskTop to sort a large directory! After creating a long list of things to add to the program, in order to make it first class, I became a little disheartened with the size of the project. Therefore, I am releasing it AS IS so that everyone can benefit from it. I know that as certain things become a necessity I will add to it bit by bit and maybe one day it will be a full-blown DIRECTORY MANAGER, but until that day I have something very, very important to me that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, want to work on. What is it? Well, in about year you won't be able to miss it. It'll be in every GEOS based magazine known to man (it's that GOOD). Until then, enjoy the program! Sincerely, Roger Lawhorn  HOnyTheBest @ Software Next page.... 888888888 Sorting @: Click on sort from the options menu. You will see a dialogue box asking you to  Hselect a drive to sort @. You may notice that there is a drive D. Currently the GEOS kernel is built for a forth drive, but the configure isn't. I believe that this will change with the advent of the one meg ram called RamLink. Anyway, it'll be supported when GEOS finally supports it. Below the drive names is a  H1581 sub directory @ option. It is NOT operational even though you can select it.  Sort Options @: Next you will see several options for sorting. Use the following guidelines: 1) Unless you have files you need to recover then ALWAYS choose the scratch deleted files options. If you don't the empty slots on your directory will be forced to the beginning of the directory. Deleted files have the value zero for everything: name, size, type, and date. Therefore they will appear before everything else. 2) ALWAYS select REWRITE DIR. This is not hard to remember since it is selected automatically for you. The Text Scrap and Merge Scrap options are not operational. They will return you to the main menu. After selecting a drive and your sort options the computer will tell you everything is it doing. You will be done when there are no more messages. The last message wil be "Writing Directory...". You can sort by Name, Size, Type or Date. You may also sort by (Name) and (Size, Type or Date). DIR MANAGER will sort by Name first then by Size, Type, or Date, but will not effect the previous sort by Name. For instance: you have ten files that begin with the letter "A" and ten files that begin with the letter "B". If you sort by Name and Date then all of the files that begin with "A" will still be together as well as the files that begin with "B", but sorted according to Date also.  Additional sorts of Size, Type, or Date, check the first letter of each filename only. If they differ then no sort will occur.
