                  SD -- SORTED DIRECTORY (68K)
                  ==    ======================


     The   SD-68K  program  provides  a  means  of  displaying  a 
directory  of  user files,  sorted in alphabetic  order.   It  is 
intended  as  an CP/M-68K counterpoint to  the  excellant  public 
domain  program  SD  written for CP/M-2.x by  Bruce  Ratoff  (and 
modified by almost everyone, including myself).  Although the two 
programs  are not identical in terms of options and capabilities, 
most SD-68K will accept the most commonly used options in a  form 
consistent with SD.COM.  Also, since the extensions are different 
for the two programs,  both may coexist on a disk; one as SD.COM, 
and the other as SD.68K.

USE:  SD.68K is invoked as

          A> SD [file-spec] [>outfile] [-optionlist]

     where  the  items in brackets are all optional and  position 
     independent.

     file-spec == standard CP/M file specification of the form

                    d:name.typ

                  including * and ? wildcards.

     >outfile  == this option re-directs the output to a CP/M
                  file where 'outfile' is the file-spec.

     -optionlist == is a list of options controlling the output
                  format from SD.  These options may be either
                  'lumped' together, or separately with each
                  preceeded by a '-' flag (ala UNIX).  A '$'
                  character may be used instead of the '-' for
                  compatibility with CP/M-2.x SD.

                  Valid options are:

                    -K == toggle display of file sized (default
                          is to display size)

                    -S == toggle display of 'system' files
                          (default is to not display 'system'
                          files)
                    -F == toggle display of file 'flags' (default
                          is to not display flags).  Flags are:

                                   S == system file
                                   R == read only
                                   A == archived


Examples of valid SD commands:


     SD                            == list all files on current
                                      default disk and directory.

     SD *.*                        == same as above.

     SD test.*                     == list all files on current
                                      default disk and directory
                                      with 'test' as the file
                                      name.

     SD -S -F ABC?DE.DAT >FILES.LIS == list all files on current
                                      default disk and directory
                                      with the file name 'ABC',
                                      any letter, 'DE', and type 
                                      'DAT'.  Output will be to
                                      file 'FILES.LIS', flags
                                      will be displayed, and
                                      system files included.


     SD >FILES.LIS ABC?DE.DAT $FS   == same as above


Display formats are:

     File names only == 6 names per line

     File names and  == 4 names per line
      either size or
      flags

     File names and  == 3 names per line
      both size and
      flags
