MMDIR VERSION 1.0
DOCUMENTATION


WHAT IT DOES:

MMDIR is a compiled Pascal program designed to display and print
out directories of Multimate files. Unlike the standard DOS
directory command, MMDIR produces a two line listing for each
file which includes information from the document summary screens
of each included document. These listings are sorted
alphabetically by file name and formatted to fill a screen or
printer page depending on the specified output device.

Specifically, each MMDIR entry includes the DOS file name and the
following items from the Multimate document summary screen:

Multimate File Name
Author
Addressee
Creation Date
Date of Last Edit
Comment Line 1

Note: In order to fit these items in two lines on the 80 columns
of a standard monitor and printer, the last two characters of the
Author and Comment Line fields are truncated.


HOW TO USE MMDIR:

1. From the DOS prompt type MMDIR and press return. If the drive
or directory to be listed is not the current default, follow
MMDIR with the drive designation and/or path of the directory
where the Multimate files are stored.

Example: MMDIR C:\MM\DOC

2. If you wish to print the listing of files, include a "/P"
following MMDIR. The "/P" designation may precede or follow any
drive or path specification.


PROGRAM LIMITS:

This version of MMDIR is limited to 200 files in each directory
listing.

MMDIR works on the assumption that any file in the specified
directory with a DOS extension of "DOC" is a Multimate file.
Files from other sources with this extension will be included in
the listing. Depending on the content of non-Multimate DOC
files, meaningless information may be printed.
