PROGRAM NAME: DiskInsert
VERSION: 0.3
RELEASE DATE: 8-1-92
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. If [output device] is
blank, the user will be prompted to select a device.

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. If you are interested in PostScript programming I recommend the
book 'Understanding PostScript Programming', by David A. Holzgang.

This version is the second public release. With this version I added I/O
checking for the printer, mouse support, and the ability to print multiple
inserts without restarting the program.

Currently I am working on a Windows version of DiskInsert. If you are
interested in receiving that please say so when you register.
