   LD is a ZCPR3 library directory utility that shows member files  along with
their  create  and  modify  dates  and  times,  sizes,   compression   method,
uncompressed filenames, CRC's, and indexes.   Embedded comments up to 76 char-
acters can be displayed.   Output can  be  directed to the  printer.   Message
register output, file output, and wheel protection are included.  It will also
run under vanilla CP/M 2.2 and CP/M Plus, but only the current user is access-
ible and, of course,  the ZCPR3 features will not work.   Vs 1.0 (10/07/91) by
Gene Pizzetta.

   See LD.HLP for details about usage.

    Syntax   LD {dir:}lbrname {afn} {{/}options}

   If no DIR or DU specification is  given,  the  current  drive  and user are
assumed.   If an ambiguous file  specification is given  following the library
name, only member files matching it  will  be  shown;  otherwise,  all  member
files will be shown.   A member filename beginning with a slash can be matched
by preceding the filename with a colon.
 Options 

   A leading slash is required only if the options are not the third  token in
the command tail, but is allowed in any case.

     A    Don't sort directory alphabetically
     C    Show embedded comments 
     D    Prefer embedded date stamps
     X    Alternate display
     S    Summary only
     P    Don't page screen
     Q    Quiet mode
     M    Store results to memory
     L    Echo to printer (LST:)
     F    Send a final form feed to the printer
     O    Output a list of the matching members to a disk file

   All options can be configured as defaults.   In that case, the command line
option will toggle to the non-default mode.

 LD Notes 

   a. LD is derived from LDIR-B Version 2.2, which gives an UNARC-type display
      of library directories.   Originally written by Steven Greenberg,  it is
      the result of several years of continuing development  by  Bruce Morgen,
      Michal Carson, Sean Sullivan,  Howard Goldstein,  and Gene Pizzetta.  LD
      will be moving in  a  slightly  different  direction,  hence,  the  name
      change.  The goal is to keep this program under 4K, about twice the size
      of LDIR-B,  and to provide a more versatile library directory  tool with
      numerous command line and configuration options, and making more extens-
      ive use of Z-System facilities,  while remaining compatible with vanilla
      CP/M.

   b. Vs. 1.4 updates (3/21/92, Gene Pizzetta):
      - Fixes small cosmetic problem on some terminals:   With a two-char user
        number, some terminals were feeding an extra line.  
      - A couple of other minor changes cut program  size by  a  whopping five
        bytes.   The documentation and history files have been replaced with a
        help file.
