LISTING MACINTOSH DISKS

The MS-DOS MACDIR command supplied with MacDisk allows you to see a
detailed list of the files on a Macintosh disk, including the original
Macintosh name for each file.

TO LIST THE FILES ON A MACINTOSH DISK

Type MACDIR A: or MACDIR B: at the MS-DOS prompt, depending on which
drive contains the Macintosh floppy disk.

In addition to the information given by DIR this gives:

- The full Macintosh name of the disk or directory.

- The full Macintosh names of all files.

TO CHOOSE HOW FILES ARE LISTED

By default, MACDIR lists the files with the MS-DOS name first, and
sorted by the Macintosh name.

You can include the following options in the MACDIR command to change this:

/D - Display Macintosh names first.
/S - Sort by MS-DOS names.

TO CHOOSE WHICH FILES ARE LISTED

You can also get information on a particular directory on the disk, or a
particular type of file using the options:

MACDIR [drive:][path][filespec]

Where the parameters are as follows:

drive - Specifies the drive (A: or B:).
path - A path of directories; eg \DOCS\LATEST\.
filespec - A file specification. This can include the wildcard
           characters * to match any sequence of characters, or ? to
           match any character.

For example:

MACDIR B:\DRAFTS\REPORT*.*

will list all the files in the DRAFTS directory on the disk in the B:
drive whose names begin REPORT, with any extension.

Because you may not be sure how MacDisk has translated long Macintosh
filenames, it is a good idea to use wildcards for the end of filename
specifications when using the MACDIR command.
