Requires expansion ram.
I think it seemed like Chris needed a disk program,
so today I converted my old disk program for the C64
to the Vic20. I made this program in 1988 when I was
15 years old. But I made a few changes from the
original:
* More colors in the "rainbow" border effect. (The
C64 is slower).
* The border effect is not displayed on the NTSC vic
(to save you from epilepsy
)* The directory reading is faster (mainly by moving
it from the end to the start of the program.)
* You can go both forward and backward when going
through the files. Before you could only go forward.
* Of course changes to make everything fit on the
smaller screen.
* Made it all-English... (Instead of words like
"scratcha"
The program works like this:
When pressing "1", the directory is read. Then
the files are displayed (in a quite simple way).
You press "down" for the next file and "up"
for the previous. This works like a batch
program. If you want to delete a file,
press "S" and the file is marked "scratch".
Press "R" to rename a file, type in a new name
and another mark (for example =new name) is
displayed with the file. You can also press "P"
to print the list. When ready, you press "B" for
"begin" and the program starts to make all the
changes to the disk while you can take a cup of
coffe. If you don't want to do anything (cancel
all your marks), then press "Q" to return to
the main menu. All these keys are displayed as a
help when the directory has been loaded.
The other choices on the main menu are:
2 - Format a disk that has been formatted before.
(much faster than 3).
3 - Format new disk.
4 - Validate. (Reorganizes the disk and may free
some more space.)
5 - Write. Just saves an empty file with the
name you type in. If you want to write a
message in the directory list.
NOTE: I take no responsibility for any lost files!!!
But I regard it as reliable for my own usage.
Good luck!
