     What is 4OS2 and how about descriptions ?
     -----------------------------------------
     4OS2 is a replacement  for  the  poor  native  OS/2  command
     processor  CMD.EXE.   4OS2  replaces this one completely and
     adds countless improvements.  E.g.  you only enter the first
     few letters of a filename and  then hit the TAB-key and 4OS2
     completes the filename watching the available files  in  the
     current  directory.   The  latest  version of 4OS2 I know is
     2.00 and as it is shareware -so should be available in every
     OS/2-specialized BBS and, of course via ftp on cdrom.com.

     Among the various  improvements  are  the  filedescriptions.
     With the command DESCRIBE you can give every file beside its
     name a description while running 4OS2.

     The  descriptions  of  all files in a directiory are kept in
     this directory inside  the  hidden  file "DESCRIPT.ION".  If
     you now copy, delete or move this described file inside 4OS2
     the dicriptions are copied, deleted or moved, too.   If  you
     move  all  your  files  to a floppydisk, the files will show
     their description on that media, too.

     The  descriptions  are  shown  when  invoking  a  normal DIR
     command on FAT-formated drives.  If you  have  a  HPFS-drive
     then  you  normally  dont see the descriptions.  You have to
     tell 4OS2 to show the  HPFS-directory in the old FAT-format.
     This is done whit the switch /z so type: "DIR /z <enter>" on
     HPFS-drives and you'll see your descriptions, too.

     And it *is* a difference, if your 1-year-old floppy-disk  in
     your diskbox look liker this:

     Whats the job of 4Desy/2 ?
     --------------------------

     The 4OS2-command DESCRIBE  is  not  very comfortable.  Every
     file is treated on its own and once you press enter you cant
     edit the previous described files again an correct mistakes.
     You even can't use once entered stuff again, if you have  to
     enter some very similar descriptions.

     So    now    you    need    4DEsy/2    -   the   comfortable
     description-editor!  Though 4Desy/2  does  not need 4OS2 for
     execution, the pretty descriptions do not make  much  sence,
     while sleeping inside the DESCRIPT.ION-File, because CMD.EXE
     will NOT show the descriptions.







     The commandline-parameters
     --------------------------
     The order of the switches is *NOT* important !
     The switches are checked caseINsensitive.

     By default 4Desy/2 will edit the current-derictory where you
     typed the run-command for 4Desy/2.  But you can tell 4Desy/2
     to edit another  directory's  description:

     4DESY2.EXE [drive:][path\path\path...]

     For example your current directory is somewhere on  harddisk
     C: and you run:
        4DESY2.EXE a:
     Then  you  will  edit  the  current directory of diskette in
     drive A:

     Some other examples:
     4DESY2.EXE a:\
     4DESY2.EXE a:\subdir
     4DESY2.EXE \os2\install
     4DESY2.EXE subdir\subdir2

     Further commandline-switches:


     switch       function
     ------------------------------------------------------------------
     /?           "HELP !!!"

                  Before  the  actual  begining  of the program a
                  short  summary  of   the  possible  commandline
                  switches is displayed.   After  waiting  for  a
                  keypress the program is executed normally
                  Example:
                  4DESY2.EXE /?

     /H           same as /?


     /A           "AUTOSAVE"-Mode

                  when this switch  is  given,  4Desy/2 saves the
                  descriptions whithout further questions when either
                    - Exiting (ESC or Alt-X)
                    - Changing a Directory (ENTER on <DIR>)
                    - Changing the current Drive (Alt-D)
                  When changes where made, they are saved !
                  When 4Desy/2 is  running  you  can  toggle  the
                  state of the Autosave-mode with Alt-A.
                  (see description of Top-Line)
                  (see key Alt-A)

     /Caxxx       "COLOR setup"
                  the little 'a' behind the switch specifies  the
                  screen element which color follows.  'a' can be
                  one of the following letters:
                  T  : top row
                  B  : bottom row
                  F  : normal file row
                  D  : normal directory row
                  E  : current edit-row
                  H  : help window
                  C  : current directory inside help window
                  W  : warnings and errors in the bottomline

                  The  three  'xxx' stand for a color code from 0
                  to  127.   In   this   number  background-  and
                  foreground color  are  specified.   The  little
                  help  program  "4COLORS.EXE"  that comes within
                  the 4DESY2 archive shows the result colors from
                  every code.
                  Example:
                  4DESY2.EXE /CT12
                  starts 4Desy/2  with  a  headline  in the color
                  light-red on black.


     /E           "EDITOR-Mode" instead of POS1-Mode

                  switches   4Desy/2   after   start   into   the
                  Editor-Mode.    In   Editor-Mode   the  program
                  behaves like a normal  editor.  This means when
                  changing the row, the  cursorposition  is  kept
                  where possible.   Even when just jumping over a
                  few  empty  descriptions, 4Desy/2 remembers the
                  old position of the  cursor  and restores it in
                  the next line with enough text.
                  Contrary to the Editor-Mode is  the  POS1-Mode.
                  This  is the default-mode for 4Desy/2 and means
                  that whenever you change the row, 4Desy/2 jumps
                  to Position number one in the targetrow.

                  Which mode you prefer belongs to your own taste
                  but remember the  key  Alt-E.   When inside the
                  program  you  can  toggle  between  Editor  and
                  POS1-Mode by pressing Alt-E over and over...
                  Example:

                  4DESY2.EXE /e

     /F3aaaaa     "default F3-Viewer command"
                  By default "LIST" ist the command invoked  when
                  F3  is  pressed  on  a  file.   If  you want to
                  specify another  view-program,  tell it 4Desy/2
                  with    this    switch.     You     can     put
                  extension-dependent  viewers  inside 4DESY2.INI
                  so that you can  even  view ZIP-archives or BMP
                  or GIF-files or you can view WAV or MID-files.
                  See  section  over  4DESY2.INI-file.   the  /F3
                  switch only refers to the default-viewer.
                  Example:
                  4DESY2.EXE /F3c:\mytools\myview.exe
                  4DESY2.EXE /F3listos2

     /F4aaaaa     "F4-Editor command"
                  By default "E" the OS/2-Editor is invoked when
                  F4 is pressed on a file.  If you prefer another
                  editor specify it here.
                  Example:
                  4DESY2.EXE /F4c:\apps\qedit\q.exe
                  4DESY2.EXE /F4epm.exe

     /K           "KEEP in mind last subdirectory"

                  with this switch  active, 4Desy/2 will remember
                  the  name  of  the  last   subdirectory,   when
                  changing  to  a parentdiretory (ENTER on "..").
                  When now the contents of the parentdirectory is
                  read from disk, the active row wil *NOT* be the
                  first total row, but the last subdiretory-row.
                  Try hitting enter  on  a  ".."-dir and you will
                  see.
                  Without this switch always the first entry will
                  be activated when changing to a new directory.
                  (see also Key ALT-K)


     /Lxxx        "LENGTH of rows"

                  Behind the switch /L follows a number of
                  two or three digits.   With this switch you can
                  tell  4Desy/2   the   maximum   length   of   a
                  descriptionline  you  want to have.  In general
                  the maximum  is  set  to  40 characters.  These
                  40 characters just fit  well into the directory
                  display.  More characters will be  word-wrapped
                  automatically by 4OS2 when displayed.
                  The default maximumlength is 40 chars.
                  If  a  description  is  longer than the maxchar
                  value you can  only  delete  chars in this row,
                  not add chars.
                  The maximumlength must be from 20 to 511, so
                  for mathematics: 20 <= maxchar <= 511  ;-)
                  (see also key Alt-L)
                  Example:

                  4DESY2.EXE /L60
                                  specifies a number of maximum
                                  60 chars per description inside
                                  4Desy/2.


     /M          "MONOCHROME"

                 with  this  switch  4Desy/2  does  not  use  any
                 colors  but  black,  white  and grey.  So I hope
                 Notebook-owners will   see   something.   Please
                 report, if mono-mode works properly or not - for
                 I don't have a Notebook to test.

     /N:ccccccc  "DESCRIPT.ION NAME"
                 here  you can  change the  default name  for the
                 DESCRIPT.ION file. Since 4OS2 v2.5 you can chan-
                 ge the name in the 4OS2.INI (INI directive:
                 DescriptionName=........). And now even 4Desy/2
                 can change the name. For example you can use
                 FILES.BBS if you have CD-ROM with files.bbs.
                 The current descriptionname will be displayed in
                 the F1 Help window.

                 Example:
                           4DESY2.EXE /N:FILES.BBS

                 NOTE:
                 The file format does NOT change if you use this
                 switch. So if you afterwards simply rename the
                 FILES.BBS file to DESCRIPT.ION - there is no
                 difference !


     /O          "OVERWRITE"-Mode

                 In normal case 4Desy/2 comes up  inside  Insert-
                 Mode.   So  if you prefer the Overwritemode tell
                 it to 4Desy/2


     /Q          "QUIET"-Mode
                 So if you  really  realized after ending 4Desy/2
                 for the third time that this is CARDWARE and you
                 really did send the  postcard  to  me,  you  can
                 suppress the CARDWARE-reminder at the end of the
                 program with this switch.

                 BUT ONLY IF YOU ALREADY MAILED ME  ;-)


     Hint:
     -----

     If  your  favourite personal switches defer from the default
     ones take a look at  4OS2's ALIAS-command. So perhaps define
     in your 4START.CMD something like this:

     alias 4des=c:\tools\4os2\4desy2.exe /e /o /l200 /q

     So in future just enter:
          4DES<enter>
     and your favourite description-editor will come up with your
     favourite setup...

     Because ALIASes are kept in RAM, they are much  more  faster
     than CMD-Files.

     The first row
     --------------

     Behind |ESC=Exit| starts the status-information:

     A   means : Autosave is active.
                 Whenever you Exit 4Desy/2 or change the drive or
                 change  the  directory your work on descriptions
                 will be saved by the program automatically.
                 (see key Alt-A)
                 (see switch /A)

     K   means : "Keep in mind last subdirectory" is active.
                 To toggle this hit ALT-K
                 (see key ALT-K)
                 (see switch /K for commandline)

     I   means : Insert-mode
     O   instead of "I" means Overwrite-mode
         (see key INS)
         (see switch /O)

     1   means  POS1-Mode - when changing a row, the cursor
         is always set to the first position of the line
     E   instead of "1" means "Editor-mode" where the
         cursor-position is kept when changing rows
         (see key Alt-E)
         (see switch /E)

     |C 27| means that the cursor is on the  27nd char of the
            current description
            (C stands for Column)

     |L 40| means that the maximum-description length is set to
            40 chars per description
            (see switch /L)

     |Entry 6 of 6| I think this should be obvious

     --  at the end of the headline means that there are changes made
          to the descriptions that have not yet been saved.
          Save  the current status of the descriptions by hitting
          F2-key.  If you just saved the description, the asterix
          vanishes.


    The last row
    -------------

    Under  OS/2  filenames  can  have  a  length  of  maximum 256
    letters.  So they are to long for every  normal  sceenlayout.
    So I decided to display only the first 12 chars of a filename
    all  over  the screen an the CURRENTLY selected filename will
    be displayed in the last line  of the screen.  This means the
    first 60 chars of the filename are displayed.  If somewhere I
    have to cut of information of descriptions or filenames,  you
    will see a "" behind the information.
    If  your  filenames is really still longer than 60 chars, you
    will NOT see these remaining chars !
    But actually: what sence does a 200-char-long-filename make ?
    Behind the filename  there  are  the  attributes  of the File
    displayed in the order:
        R - "readonly"
        H - "hidden"
        S - "system"
        A - "archive"
    If an attribute is not set, a dash "-" is displayed instead.
    Right behind the attributes the filedate and the filetime  is
    shown in the form: DD.MM.YY and HH:MM

    Sometimes this last row  is  used  for displaying warnings or
    here is some input entered by you.  E.g.  when  you  want  to
    search for text with the Alt-S key ...



    The keys of 4Desy/2
    -------------------

    If you once have started 4Desy/2 with the desired parameters,
    you  will  tell  4Desy/2 what action to do with the following
    keys:

    Key    function
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    F1     Displays a help-screen with a summary of working-keys.
           Even your current working-path is displayed here !

    F2     saves the DESCRIPT.ION-file to the current directory.
           After  leaving  the   programm   you   will  see  your
           descriptions on every  DIR-command  run  by  4OS2  (on
           HPFS-Disks run DIR /Z)

    F3     The current file is to be viewd.
           When in 4Desy2.INI a special viewer is defined for the
           extension of the current file, this viewer is invoked.
           Otherwise  the viewerr specified by the switch /F3aaaa
           will be invoked.  If  no  other viewer is specified by
           /F3-switch, 4OS2-command LIST will be started.

    F4     The current file will be edited.
           If with the switch /F3 no other editor  is  specified,
           the OS/2-editor E.EXE will be started with this file.

    F8     If the current entry is a file and not a directory,
           the file will be deleted, if a security-question is
           answered with "Y"es.

    F9     will shell to an OS/2 commandinterpreter.
           4Desy/2 will start the one specified in the CONFIG.SYS
           file with the environment variable  COMSPEC.
           Type EXIT<enter> to return to 4Desy/2.


    ESCape Ends the program
           If  you  have  not  saved  the latest changes (See the
           asterix in the uppper-right  corner) a warning message
           is displayed:

          Ŀ
          WARNING:Descriptionfile not saved.Save before exit?(Yes/No/Cancel)
          
           "Y" : Save and exit after successful saving
           "N" : Direct exit, no saving
           "C" : No Saving and no exit ! Just stay in program

    Alt-X  same as ESCape


    Alt-A  toggles Autosave on and off
           when  toggled to "ON" an "A" is displayed in the first
           line of the  screen.   For  further information on the
           Autosave-mode see description of commandline-switch /A

    Alt-E  Toggles between Editor- and POS1-Mode
           (Further information see switch /e)

    Ins    Toggles Insert- and Overwrite-mode


    <---   The Backspace-key deletes the char left of the cursor

    Del    The Delete-Key deletes the char right of the cursor

    Ctrl+  Ctrl-Del deletes from cursor to end of the line
    Del


   Cursor  The cursor- and the Page-key just work in the same way
   & Page  as in every editor. But remind these other functions:
   -Up/Dn

   Ctrl-   Moves the Edit-Bar to the next EMPTY description
   CrsrUp  for quickly editing some missing descriptions

   Ctrl-   Moves the Edit-Bar to the previous EMPTY description
   CrsrDn  for quickly editing some missing descriptions

   Ctrl+   Move the cursor between the beginnings of words left and
   <- / -> right.

    Pos1   Move cursor to beginning/end of current row
    Ende

    Ctrl+  Move to first entry visible on the screen
    Pos1

    Ctrl+  Move cursor to last entry visible on the screen
    Ende

    Ctrl+  Moves cursor to first total entry of the current dir
    PgUp

    Ctrl+  Moves cursor to last total entry of the current dir
    PgUp


    Enter  This key has two functions
           1.)
           When the current entry is a directory-entry, then  the
           program  tries  to  change  to this directory.  If the
           last status  of  the  edited  description  is  not yet
           saved, a security-questions wants to know if yout want
           to save or not.
           If you want  to  know  what  the current directory is,
           just hit F1.  The Help-window  displays  your  working
           drive- and directory

           2.)
           the second function of Enter is when the current entry
           is a file-entry.  Then 4Desy/2  changes  to  the  next
           line and sets the cursor to the first position

    Alt-D  changes the Drive
           The  program  asks you for the letter of the drive you
           want to jump to.   If  you  want  to move to FLoppy A:
           just hit the "a"-key once and wait until  4Desy/2  has
           read   in   the  directory-contents.   4Desy/2  always
           changes to the root-directory of the selected drive.

    ALT-R  Re-read the contents of the current directory.
           If  yout think that the files in the current directory
           have  changed  for  some  reason  (may  be  by another
           OS/2-task) you can tell 4Desy/2 to take a new look  at
           that direcory.  The descriptions will have to be saved
           before. (otherwise a warning will be displayed)

    ALT-K  toggle "Keep in mind last subdir".
           for    detailed   description   see   description   of
           commandline-switch /K
           When "keep"-mode is active, a "K" is displayed in the
           statusline an top of screen,

    Alt-C  Copies   the   complete   contents   of  the  current
           description to the 4Desy/2-clipboard.

    Alt-U  Cuts the current description to the clipboard

    Alt-P  Overwrites the  current  description with the contents
           of the clipboard. The editbar is moved to the next entry.

    Alt-Y  Deletes the current description WITHOUT storing it
           to the clipboard. The editbar is moved to the next entry.
           --- Use carefully !

    Alt-S  Searches for text.
           You can enter a searchtext of maximum 40 chars.
           A question follows:
           Ŀ
           Examine <F>ilenames, <D>escriptions or <B>oth ? 
           
           So what should be examined for the searchtext ?
           F : Filenames - only the file/directorynames
           D : Descriptions  -  only   the   descriptionstrings
           B : Both - Filenames/directorynames AND descriptions
               are examined for containing the previous searchtext
           The search is done caseINsensitive !
           The search starts at the first entry.
           Alt-N moves to the next matching entry.

    Alt-N  see Alt-S
           moves to the next matching search-entry
           If no searchtext is specified, this key has no function

    Alt-L  Lets you enter an new maximum description length
           from 20 to 511.
           (see commandline-switch /L)

    ALT-I  Save  current  4Desy/2-Setup to the file 4DESY2.INI in
           the directory where 4Desy/2 was started from.
           You  can  lateron  edit   this   file  with  a  simple
           ASCII-editor.


The file 4DESY2.INI
-------------------

This file is generated by hitting ALT-I.
In this file the normal 4Desy/2-commandline switches are stored.
One switch per line. Example:

------------------4DESY2.INI--------------------
/A
/CF27
/CD30
/CE95
/CT79
/CB48
/CW78
/CH116
/CC121
.arj^(unarj ^|more) & pause
.inf^view
-------------------------------------------------

In the first column there has to be  a  "/"  or  a  "."  so  that
4Desy/2  recognizes  the  switch.  In spite of /C and /F only the
first letter behind the "/" is important. So /A and /AutoSave and
/AnotherDrink will all cause the AutoSaveMode to be switched on.

Starts the line with a "." the definition for a special F3-viewer
for a special extension follows.
By this line:

.arj^(unarj ^|more) & pause

the following commandline will be executed by typing F3 on a file
named XYZ.ARJ

unarj XYZ.ARJ|more & pause



"OK, how much ?"  - CARDWARE
----------------------------

So...4Desy/2 is NOT for free !!!
It will cost you a little time and a postcard-stamp !

So this is CARDWARE ! NO Sharewarefee, No Registration-Key and no
Cripple-Function !

BUT:
After  I  have  spent quite a bit of my sparetime for coding this
thing I now want to know where it travels to on this planet.
So if you like it and continue  using it, if you want to give any
comment or improvement-ideas or if you have  discovered  one  ore
more BUGS : Mail me by postcard.  (For bug-reports even e-mail is
accepted...)
If  you  desire another special-function and you think some other
people might need this function too - write me, also !

BY SEVERAL PEOPLE BEFOR THE  OFFICIAL  RELEASE IT MAY BE POSSIBLE
THAT ONE ORE MORE BUGS SURVIVED. SO I CAN *NOT* GUARANTEE THAT MY
PROGRAM WORKS PROPERLY ON YOUR COMPUTER, TOO. MAYBE  HARDWARE  OR
DATA  MAY  BE CORRUPTED. SO IF YOU WANT TO BE 100 PERCENT SHURE -
