The latest version of SD, the super directory program, is now
available from SIMTEL20 as:

Filename			Type	 Bytes	 CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.DIRUTL>
SD100.LBR.1			BINARY	 80640  F9AEH

SD displays the directory of a CP/M disk, sorted alphabetically, with
the file size in k, rounded to the nearest CP/M block size.  Also
displays library files with the file size in k if the '$L' option is
used.
 
Here is an excerpt from the update information:

 ======================================================================
 
  07/24/85  Rewrote the TIMEON code to allow use of the existing time-
    v100    on-system data contained in BYE5, BYE3, BYE+ or MBYE's RTC
 	    buffer.  If TIMEON is YES, SD merely reports "Time on system
 	    is nnn minutes" and makes no attempt to log the user off.
 	    Logoff responsibility is delegated to the (M)BYE(+) program.
 	    TIMEON checks to see if BYE is running and continues without
 	    reporting time-on if not.  No installation required to use
 	    this feature if you have clock code installed in your BYE.
 	    All page-1 equates previously used by TIMEON were deleted.
 
 	    This update also contains the SD99.FIX code for nested IF'

 ======================================================================
 
  07/11/85  Added THREBYT equate for systems needing a 3-byte sequence
    v99     for reverse video.	If THREBYT is YES then the value coded
 	    at TBYTE is added to the reverse video sequence (currently
 	    set for a Kaypro).
 
 	    Also added a new "?" option which will display a menu
 	    of the $ options available if HELP is YES.
 
 					- Steve Sanders
 ======================================================================
 
  03/15/85  Fixes obscure display bug which deletes display of 1, 2 or
    v98     3 file names in 3 out of 4 cases when the directory has
 	    >255 entries.  The fix code was written by Peter Lyman.
 	    (See SD98.NOT).
 					- Paul Foote

 =======================================================================
 
  01/21/85  Added support for ZRDOS.  Although CP/M compatible, ZRDOS
    v97     does not allow the SWAPEM technique of poking local values
 	    into the operating system.	Instead, a test for ZRDOS is
 	    made and, if present, further calls to CPM: set the Warm
 	    Boot Trap in ZRDOS.  On any error detected by ZRDOS the
 	    trap is reset and control is passed to DSKERR:  No equates
 	    need be changed for CPM/ZRDOS, testing is dynamic in the
 	    run-time code.

 =======================================================================
 
  12/28/84  Added CP/M Plus TIMEON logic controlled by tag CPM3.  Also
 	    inserted a call to CKABRT in routine TYPE to catch an abort
 	    request (^C) sooner.
 					- George Peace
 
 =======================================================================
  Current versions of SD automatically adjust for any block size and di-
  rectory length under CP/M 1.4 or 2.x or MP/M (any version).  They also
  automatically adjust for any number of disk drives and work satisfac-
  torily even if no disk is in that drive at the moment.  Provisions are
  made for:
 
 	(1) automatic pauses when the screen fills up
 	(2) searching individual or multiple drives and/or user areas
 	(3) unconditional or optional resetting the disk system before
 	    execution begins
 	(4) directing output to a disk file called SD.DIR and appending
 	    to that file on subsequent runs
 	(5) summary line output giving drive and user information, num-
 	    ber of files matched and how much space they consume, and
 	    the amount of free space remaining on the disk
 	(6) displaying or suppressing "system" files
 	(7) accepting ambiguous filenames with or without a drive name
 	(8) printer output
 	(9) optional help menu with $?
