DiskInsert Version 0.1, Copyright 1991 Bob Hayes
PURPOSE: DiskInsert will print the directory of a disk, using a
PostScript printer, so that it can be placed in the sleeve
with the disk.
REQUIREMENTS: PostScript printer and EGA graphics.
USE: di [output device]
Where [output device] is optional. The default output device is
COM1 (that is what my printer is connected to). The output can
be sent to any of the ports, i.e. COM2, LPT1, PRN, etc., or to a
disk file, for example OUT.PS. If [output device] is blank,
COM1 is used.
I wrote DiskInsert, using Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.0, because my
employer bought some new PostScript printers and I could no longer
redirect the DIR listing to the printer. I like to keep a list of the disk's
contents with it so that if I am looking for a file I don't have to keep
shoving floppies in the drive. Writing this program gave me the
opportunity to explore PostScript and GUI programming (DiskInsert is
graphical, but there really is not a lot of interfacing). If you are
interested in PostScript programming I recommend the book
'Understanding PostScript Programming', by David A. Holzgang.
This first version is does not do anything fancy. I plan to add
sorting, subdirectory searching, listing the contents of ZIP files, and
formatting output for disk labels. I am also thinking about a version for
Windows 3.0.
