~p~bAbout the Commander~n
 The Star Commander was designed by ~bJoe Forster/STA~n to handle
 the image files of the ~bC64 Software Emulator~n (C64S,  (C)  by
 ~bMiha Peternel~n and ~bSeattle Lab~n,  1994-1997),  ~bCCS64~n  ((C)  by
 ~bPer Hakan Sundell~n, 1996-2009), ~bPersonal C64~n  (PC64,  (C)  by
 ~bWolfgang Lorenz~n, 1994-1997) and ~bVICE~n ((C) by the  ~bVICE Team~n,
 1993-2009), to copy files and disks from  and  to  Commodore
 drives and to convert several Commodore archive formats.

 Some features:

       Although the Commander is designed to be very similar
        to ~bThe Norton Commander~n (NC,  (C)  by  ~bSymantec Inc.~n,
        1986-1995), some of the original options and commands
        are not implemented or they work in a different  way.
        The Commander also utilizes many useful  features  of
        ~bThe Volkov Commander~n (VC, (C) by  ~bVsevolod V. Volkov~n,
        1991-2000). See ~uDifferences from other Commanders~n for
        more details.

       System requirements: 80286 CPU or better, DOS 3.20 or
        higher and about  470  KBytes  of  free  conventional
        memory. The Commander was designed to  be  run  under
        DOS although you may successfully access a  Commodore
        drive  under  multi-tasking  systems  such  as  OS/2,
        GNU/Linux, Windows or Windows 95/98/ME, as  well,  if
        you use an asynchronous transfer mode. Also, you need
        the OpenCBM driver  or  the  tweaking  package  under
        Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 to let the Commander  access
        the drive. When experiencing transfer problems,  boot
        real DOS, remove all memory managers, device  drivers
        and other TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs.
        Otherwise the Commander may not be able to  keep  the
        strict timing requirements of the Commodore drive.

       The Commander handles Commodore drives  connected  to
        the PC via a number of interfaces.  Please,  see  the
        documentation  for  more  details. The  Commander  is
        equipped with optional  fast  modes,  both  for  data
        transfer and disk commands.

       The Commander can be  optionally  run  with  the  C64
        character set on EGA/VGA video cards so that you  may
        view image files, archive files and  disks  in  their
        original form. All Commodore file names are converted
        so that you can type them in the same manner as on  a
        real C64. See  ~uCharacter set and file name conversion~n
        for more details.

       You can change the data of disk images and  disks  in
        Commodore drives  directly  with  the  built-in  disk
        disk  editor,  which  imitates  ~bDisk-Demon~n,  (C)   by
        ~bG. Brandt~n and ~bA. Wellie~n, 1986-1987.

        In this mode you can enter PETSCII characters at  the
        right side of the editor. You can  access  the  codes
        ~u$00~n to ~u$1F~n with ~u^2~n, ~u^A~n to ~u^Z~n, ~u^[~n, ~u^\~n, ~u^]~n, ~u^6~n and  ~u^-~n.
        Therefore you can't use the ~uControl~n key  combinations
        for cursor movement or delete.

   ~bCross-reference between BAM and error info:~n
        When you're editing the BAM, sectors marked  as  good
        in the error info block  are  displayed  with  normal
        color, while bad sectors are highlighted.  Similarly,
        when editing the error info, used  sectors  have  the
        normal color and free sectors are highlighted.
~p~bLeft/Right pull-down menus~n

 The next few help screens describe each item in the ~uLeft~n and
 ~uRight~n menus.
~p~bBrief/Full/Wide~n
 There are three ways to view files in  a  directory:  ~uBrief~n,
 ~uFull~n or ~uWide~n. Brief shows several columns  of  files,  while
 Full shows one column of files, along with  some  attributes
 of the file. For DOS panels, there is a  third  mode,  Wide,
 which shows file names without splitting the  name  and  the
 extension into two. These items  allow  you  to  change  the
 column mode for the current mode (DOS or CBM) of the panel.

    ~aBrief~n DOS panel:

   ~bTo find a file:~n
        Hold down ~uAlt~n key and type the first  letter  of  the
        file you want to  find.  A  ~uspeed-search~n  dialog  box
        appears at the bottom of the file panel:

                 ͻ
                  Search: ~ra_              ~n 
                 ͼ

        At this point you can type more letters of the  name,
        press  ~uEsc~n  to   remove   this   dialog,   or   press
        ~uControl + Enter~n to search  for  the  next  file  that
        matches what you've typed so far.

   ~bNotes:~n
       Hidden and system files are shown with a   character
        between the name and extension.

       In DOS panels uppercase names are always directories,
        and lowercase  names  are  always  files,  when  long
        file names are not available:

                DIRNAME            A directory name
                filename           A file name

       You can set column mode separately for  DOS  and  CBM
        mode of the panel with the ~uColumn mode~n item.

       All files with  invalid  types  in  tape  images  are
        always displayed as  programs,  regardless  of  their
        actual file type.

~p~bSort order for files~n
 You can control the order in which you see the  files  using
 the second group of options in the ~uLeft~n and ~uRight~n menus.

 In DOS panels you have the following choices:

     ~u~aName~n         Sort files alphabetically by name.

     ~u~aExtension~n    Sort  files  alphabetically  by  extension.
                  Files  with  the  same  extension  will  be
                  sorted by name.

     ~u~aTime~n         Sort files by time, with  the  most  recent
                  files first. Files with the same time  will
                  be sorted alphabetically.

     ~u~aSize~n         Sort files by size, with the largest  files
                  first. Files with the  same  size  will  be
                  sorted alphabetically.

     ~u~aUnsorted~n     Show the files in the same order as the DOS
                  "dir" command shows the files.

     ~u~aReverse~n      Sorts the files in reverse order.

 In CBM panels you have the following choices:

     ~u~aName~n         Sort files alphabetically by name.

     ~u~aExtension~n    Sort files alphabetically by the file type.
                  Files with  the  same  file  type  will  be
                  sorted by name.

     ~u~aTime~n         Because there is no time stamp on Commodore
                  disks, selecting this item has no effect.

     ~u~aSize~n         Sort files by size, with the largest  files
                  first. Files with the  same  size  will  be
                  sorted alphabetically.

     ~u~aUnsorted~n     Show the files in the  same  order  as  the
                  Commodore drive shows the files.

     ~u~aReverse~n      Sorts the files in reverse order.

   ~bNotes:~n
       Directories will always appear in  DOS  panels,  1581
        disks and 1581 disk images before any  files  (unless
        you've selected the ~uUnsorted~n option).

       If the appropriate  panel  (~uLeft~n  or  ~uRight~n)  is  not
        visible, selecting a sort order will make it visible.
~p~bRe-read a panel~n                                    ~uControl + R~n
 This option allows you to re-read the directory in a  panel.
 This is useful when you're looking at  a  floppy-disk  drive
 and you change the disk in the drive.

   ~bNote:~n  ~uCtrl-R~n will re-read the active panel.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uTransfer mode~n: set to  ~uTurbo~n  or  ~uWarp~n  to  speed  up
        reading the directory from Commodore drives.
~p~bColumn mode~n
 There are three ways to view files in  a  directory:  ~uBrief~n,
 ~uFull~n or ~uWide~n. Brief shows several columns  of  files,  while
 Full shows one column of files, along with  some  attributes
 of the file. For DOS panels, there is a  third  mode,  Wide,
 which shows file names without splitting the  name  and  the
 extension into two. This  item  allows  you  to  change  the
 column mode separately for DOS and CBM mode of the panel.

   ~bNote:~n  You can set column mode for the current mode of the
          panel with the ~uBrief~n, ~uFull~n and ~uWide~n items.
~p~bSort order~n
 This item allows you to change the order, in which  you  see
 files, separately for DOS and CBM mode of the panel.

   ~bNote:~n  You can set the sort order for the current mode  of

          ~uUnsorted~n and ~uReverse~n items.
~p~bFilter~n
 The filter command allows you to control what files you  see
 in the ~uLeft~n or ~uRight~n panels, when they are in DOS mode.

 There are six options:

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can use ~uAlt + F1~n and ~uAlt + F2~n to quickly bring up
        the drive list. You can then type the drive letter or
        device number to change to that drive.

       Because the existence  of  Commodore  drives  is  not
        checked, all device  numbers  are  displayed  in  the
        dialog box. With the items "8", "9", "0" and "1"  you
        can access  the  Commodore  drives  with  the  device
        device numbers 8, 9, 10 and 11, respectively.

       If you select the device number of a Commodore  drive
        and the panel is not a Commodore  drive  panel,  this
        command will change  its  mode  for  you.  Similarly,
        selecting a DOS drive letter will change the panel to
        DOS mode.

       If you have only one floppy drive, the logical  drive
        B: will not be shown in the drive letter list.

       If you specify a floppy disk  drive  that  is  empty,
        you'll get an alert box, after a short delay. In this
        dialog, you can enter a new drive  letter  or  device
        number and press ~uEnter~n or press ~uEsc~n:

           Error ͻ

   Enter new drive letter or device number here 
~p~bFiles pull-down menu~n
 The ~uFiles~n menu  provides  access  to  the  commands  on  the
 function key bar (in case you turned it off with ~uControl+B~n),
 as well as  some  other  commands  that  act  on  files  and
 directories, or that allow you to select groups of files and
 directories.

   ~bNotes:~n
       Some functions (View, Edit, Copy, Rename or move, and
        Delete) have  more  general  versions  that  you  can
        access with the shifted function keys. You  can  also
        apply some  functions  (Copy,  Rename  or  move,  and
        Delete) to a single file  even  if  some  files  were
        marked. See help for each command for details.

       You can get the shifted versions of commands in  this
        menu by holding down the ~uShift~n key  when  you  select
        the menu item (with the keyboard or the mouse), or by
        using the shifted function key. Similarly, hold  down
        ~uControl~n when selecting the menu item or pressing  the
        function key for  the  single  file  version  of  the
        command.
~p~bUser menu~n                                                   ~uF2~n
 This command brings up a user menu. These menus have a  list
 of commands. You can choose commands by double-clicking with
 the mouse, moving the  cursor  to  a  command  and  pressing
 ~uEnter~n, or pressing the hot key to the left of the command:

                        Hot-key

 ~bUser menu in a CBM panel:~n
 In a CBM panel the commands are always the same:

       ~u~aValidate~n rebuilds the BAM of disks and  disk  images,
        and corrects the  end  addresses  of  files  in  tape
        images. Don't use validate on GEOS disks in Commodore
        drives!

       ~u~aFormat~n clears disks and changes their names and ID's,
        and clears image files without changing their labels.

       ~u~aClean~n cleans disk images, filling unused sectors with
        zeros. You will achieve a  higher  compression  ratio
        when you archive the  cleaned  disk  image.  Sectors,
        that are marked as used but don't belong to any file,
        are skipped. Don't  run  the  disk  cleaner  on  disk
        images that contain data in free sectors!

       ~u~aSafe clean~n does the same as ~uClean~n, but it  skips  the
        directory track. You can use this  option  with  disk
        images that contain useful data in  unused  parts  of
        the directory.

       ~u~aProtect/unprotect~n toggles software  write  protection
        in 1541 disk images.

       ~u~aSelect bad files~n selects those files in  the  current
        disk image that contain at least one bad  sector  and
        unselects the files that are completely error-free.

       ~u~aMinimize~n deletes unused entries from tape images.

       ~u~aSelect head~n lets you change the active head  in  1571
        drives, when in 1541 emulation mode.

       ~u~aUser command~n allows you to send any  command  to  the
        Commodore  drive.  This  way  you  can  switch  among
        different modes or use other special features of  the
        drive.

 ~bUser menu in a DOS panel:~n
 In a DOS panel the commands are user-defined. You can modify
 the user  menu  using  the  ~uMenu file edit~n  command  in  the
 ~uCommands~n menu.

   ~bNotes:~n
       There is no user menu for PC64 file image and archive
        file panels.

       The user menu pops up in a Commodore drive panel even
        if there was an error while  reading  from  the  disk
        so that you can always format disks.

       If ~uVerify disk and allocate bad sectors~n  is  enabled,
        when formatting Commodore  disks,  freshly  formatted
        sectors are verified. If the data read back from  the
        disk does not match the data written then the  sector
        is allocated in the BAM, so  that  no  file  will  be
        saved into such bad sectors. Note that this works for
        non-extended 1541 disks only.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uAuto menus~n: check to always pop up the user menu upon
        startup and after running a user menu command.
       ~uBackup image files~n: check to keep the  original  file
        as backup renamed to  *.bak  whenever  you  validate,
        clean or reformat an image file.
       ~uCommand exec mode~n: set to ~uTurbo~n or ~uWarp~n to  speed  up
        validating and formatting disks in Commodore  drives.
        Note that you can't format  extended  1541  disks  in
        ~uNormal~n mode.
       ~uFormat bumps head~n: check  to  bump  the  head  before
        formatting a disk in a Commodore drive.
       ~uNumber of retries~n: set to the number  of  times  that
        potentially bad sectors  should  be  verified,  while
        formatting Commodore disks.
       ~uOrig format pattern~n: check to format sectors with the
        original format pattern of Commodore 1541 drives.
       ~uVerify write~n: check to verify sectors when formatting
        disks in Commodore drives.
~p~bView~n                                  ~uF3~n, ~uShift + F3~n, ~uAlt + F3~n
 This command displays the contents of a file on the  screen.
 The view screen is  superimposed  over  the  main  Commander
 screen.

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can create and maintain the extension file called
        ~uscview.ext~n,  which  associates  viewers   with   file
        extensions. Use the ~uViewers...~n item  in  the  ~uOptions~n
        menu to do it.

       In general, you can use the ~ucursor~n, ~uPgUp~n, ~uPgDn~n, ~uHome~n,
        and ~uEnd~n keys to move through files.

       Pressing ~uShift + F3~n, or holding down the ~uShift~n key as
        you select this menu item, brings  up  a  dialog  box
        into which you can type the name of the file you want
        to view:

             View ͻ
             View the file:                          
             ~r_                                      ~n 
            ͼ

       If you press ~uAlt + F3~n, the Commander  will  load  the
        file into the internal viewer, rather than the viewer
        associated with the extension of the file.

       In image and uncompressed archive panels, always  the
        internal  viewer  is  called,  which  is  capable  of
        displaying files inside images. You can't  view  GEOS
        VLIR files and files in compressed archives.
~p~bEdit~n                                  ~uF4~n, ~uShift + F4~n, ~uAlt + F4~n
 This command loads the file under the cursor  bar  into  the
 Commander's editor (or an editor of your choice,  if  you've
 set one up).

 ~bCreating a new file:~n
 To create a new file, press ~uShift + F4~n and type in the  name
 for the new file. You'll see the following dialog:

                     Edit ͻ
                     Can't open the file 
                         somefile.ext    
                     ~r New file ~n  Cancel  
                    ͼ

 Press ~uEnter~n to create a new file.

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can create and maintain the extension file called
        ~uscedit.ext~n,  which  associates  editors   with   file
        extensions. Use the ~uEditors...~n item  in  the  ~uOptions~n
        menu to do it.

       Pressing ~uShift + F4~n, or holding down the ~uShift~n key as
        you select this menu item, brings  up  a  dialog  box
        into which you can type the name of the file you want
        to edit:

             Edit ͻ
             Edit the file:                          
             ~r_                                      ~n 
            ͼ

       If you press ~uAlt + F4~n, the Commander  will  load  the
        file into the internal editor, rather than the editor
        associated with the extension of the file.

       In image and uncompressed archive panels, always  the
        internal  editor  is  called,  which  is  capable  of
        editing files inside images.  You  cannot  edit  GEOS
        VLIR files and files in compressed archives.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uCursor follows file name~n: check to  have  the  cursor
        jump onto the position of newly created files.
~p~bCopy~n                              ~uF5~n, ~uShift + F5~n, ~uControl + F5~n
 This command allows you to copy files and directories. There
 are four ways you can use this command:

       You can copy the file or directory under  the  cursor
        bar.

       You can copy a group of files  and  directories  that
        you've marked  with  the  ~uIns~n  key  or  ~uSelect group~n,
        ~uUnselect group~n and ~uInvert selection~n.

       You can type in the name of the file or directory  to
        copy (or a group of files and directories if you  use
        wildcard characters). Press ~uShift + F5~n or  hold  down
        ~uShift~n when you select ~uCopy~n from the ~uFiles~n menu.

       You can copy one file or directory under  the  cursor
        bar even if some files or  directories  were  marked.
        Press ~uControl + F5~n or  hold  down  ~uControl~n  when  you
        select ~uCopy~n from the ~uFiles~n menu.

 Pressing ~uF5~n (or selecting ~uCopy~n) brings up a dialog box like:

       Copy ͻ
       Copy "somefile" to                             
       ~r_                                             ~n 
      Ķ
                    [ Copy ]  [ Cancel ]              
      ͼ

 There are two ways you can select where to copy the  file(s)
 to:

       Type the name of the directory, image file or archive
        file where you want to copy the file to (or the  name
        of a new file if you're copying one file).

       Set up the Commander so that the inactive panel shows
        the directory, image file or archive  file  to  which
        you want to copy the files.

   ~bCanceling Copy:~n
        Press ~uEsc~n at any  time  to  stop  copying  files  and
        directories.

   ~bCopying subdirectories:~n
        If you use the shifted version of this  command  then
        you can check ~u~aInclude subdirectories~n  to  copy  files
        matching the source file name in all  subdirectories.
        If you copy selected files and directories  then  all
        files and subdirectories of the selected  directories
        will be processed for you.

   ~bOverwriting and appending files:~n
        You'll be  asked  for  confirmation  before  existing
        files are overwritten. You can also append the source
        files to existing DOS files.

   ~bCopying GEOS files:~n
        GEOS files are copied along with all additional  info
        between disk images.  They  are  converted  into  the
        Convert file format  when  copied  to  a  destination
        other than a disk image and vice versa. However,  you
        can't copy GEOS files from Commodore disks, you  have
        to copy the source disk  into  a  disk  image  first.
        Also, when copying GEOS file to Commodore disks,  you
        will have to run Convert on the destination files  to
        change them back into real GEOS format.

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can use ~u^[~n, ~u^]~n, ~u^Enter~n and their shifted versions
        in the dialog box just like on the command line.

       You can't copy relative files to Commodore disks.

       When copying files from a CD/DVD-ROM,  the  read-only
        flag is cleared automatically.

       If you want to copy a complete disk from or to a disk
        in a  Commodore  drive,  use  the  ~uCopy disk~n  command
        instead.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uAbort data transfer~n (confirmation): check to ask  for
        confirmation about aborting the  data  transfer  with
        the Commodore drive when copying files from or to it.
       ~uAuto unselect files~n: check to unselect files as  soon
        as they have been processed during a group operation.
       ~uBackup image files~n: check to keep the  original  file
        as backup renamed to *.bak whenever  you  copy  files
        into image and archive files.
       ~uConvert chars~n: set  to  convert  PETSCII  characters,
        that have no exact ASCII equivalent,  to  hexadecimal
        codes and vice versa, while copying files between DOS
        and CBM panels.
       ~uConvert file name~n (confirmation): check  to  ask  for
        confirmation about using automatically converted file
        names.
       ~uCopy onto dir track~n: check to continue  saving  files
        on the directory track if the destination disk  image
        becomes full.
       ~uData transfer~n (warning): check to display  a  warning
        if there may be problems with data transfer from  and
        to Commodore drives.
       ~uDisk image soft interleaves~n: fill them  in  with  the
        soft interleaves used when  saving  files  into  disk
        images of different types.
       ~uDrive interleaves~n: fill in the first two  items  with
        the soft interleaves  used  when  saving  files  onto
        disks in Commodore drives.
       ~uExtract file images~n: specify whether to  extract  the
        contents of PC64 file images or copy them  as  normal
        DOS files.
       ~uFile sizes~n (warning): check to display a warning when
        the source file probably doesn't fit the  destination
        image or archive file.
       ~uGEOS support~n: check  to  copy  GEOS  files  correctly
        between any file format.
       ~uInto file images~n:  specify  whether  to  copy  source
        files into DOS files or PC64 file images.
       ~uKeep date stamps~n: check to keep  the  date  stamp  of
        modified image and archive files and to give the date
        stamp of the container image  or  archive  to  binary
        files extracted out of them.
       ~uKeep lowercase chars~n: check to leave DOS  file  names
        as typed in, rather than  converting  full  lowercase
        file names to full uppercase.
       ~uKeep non-standard ext~n: check to keep  DOS-style  file
        extensions in Commodore file names and to attach  the

        files onto disks in warp mode to Commodore drives.
~p~bRename or move~n                    ~uF6~n, ~uShift + F6~n, ~uControl + F6~n
 This command allows you to rename files and directories,  or
 to move files and directories to other directories  or  disk
 drives. There are four ways you can use this command:

       You can rename or move the file  or  directory  under
        the cursor bar.

       You  can  rename  or  move  a  group  of  files   and
        directories that you've marked with the  ~uIns~n  key  or
        ~uSelect group~n, ~uUnselect group~n and ~uInvert selection~n.

       You can type in the name of the file or directory  to
        rename or move (or a group of files  and  directories
        if you use wildcard characters). Press ~uShift + F6~n  or
        hold down ~uShift~n when you select  ~uRename or move~n  from
        the ~uFiles~n menu.

       You can rename or move one file  or  directory  under
        the cursor bar even  if  some  files  or  directories
        were marked. Press ~uControl + F6~n or hold down  ~uControl~n
        when you select ~uRename or move~n from the  ~uFiles~n  menu.
        In this case the original file name will be  offered,
        rather than a destination path.

 Pressing ~uF6~n (or selecting ~uRename or move~n) brings up a dialog
 box like:

       Rename ͻ
       Rename or move "somefile" to                   
       ~r_                                             ~n 
      Ķ
                    [ Move ]  [ Cancel ]              
      ͼ

 There are two ways you can select where to move the  file(s)
 to:

       Type the name of the directory, image file or archive
        file where you want to move the file to (or the  name
        of a new file if you're renaming a file).

       Set up the Commander so that the inactive panel shows
        the directory, image file or archive  file  to  which
        you want to move the files.

 If the destination is only a file name, the source file will
 be renamed. When a DOS path or an image or archive  file  is
 specified as destination, a move operation will take place.

   ~bCanceling Rename or move:~n
        Press ~uEsc~n at any time  to  stop  renaming  or  moving
        files and directories.

   ~bMoving subdirectories:~n
        If you use the shifted version of this  command  then
        you can check ~u~aInclude subdirectories~n  to  move  files
        matching the source file name in all  subdirectories.
        If you move selected files and directories  then  all
        files and subdirectories of the selected  directories
        will be processed for you.

   ~bOverwriting and appending files:~n
        You'll be  asked  for  confirmation  before  existing
        files are overwritten. You can also append the source
        files to existing DOS files.

   ~bOverwriting directories:~n
        If  a  directory  with  the  specified  name  already
        exists, you won't be allowed  to  rename.  Delete  or
        rename that directory first.

   ~bMoving GEOS files:~n
        GEOS files are moved along with all  additional  info
        between disk images.  They  are  converted  into  the
        Convert file format when moved to a destination other
        than a disk image and vice versa. However, you  can't
        move GEOS files from Commodore  disks,  you  have  to
        copy the source disk into a disk image  first.  Also,
        when moving GEOS file to Commodore  disks,  you  will
        have to run  Convert  on  the  destination  files  to
        change them back into real GEOS format.

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can use ~u^[~n, ~u^]~n, ~u^Enter~n and their shifted versions
        in the dialog box just like on the command line.

       You can't move relative files to Commodore disks.

~p~bMake directory~n                                              ~uF7~n
 This command  allows  you  to  create  directories  (in  DOS
 panels and 1581 disk image panels).

 The new directory will be  a  subdirectory  of  the  current
 directory.  In DOS panels, you can specify a full path  name
 or another drive letter  to  create  a  directory  somewhere
 else. The format of the directory name is the following:

       Under DOS, directory names can be up to 8  characters
        long, and can have an extension  up  to  3  character
        long.

       Under Windows, directory  names  can  be  up  to  255
        characters long, including the extension.

       In 1581 disk images, directory names can be up to  16
        characters long.

   ~bNote:~n  You can  use  ~u^[~n,  ~u^]~n,  ~u^Enter~n  and  their  shifted
          versions in the dialog box just like on the command
          line.
~p~bDelete~n                            ~uF8~n, ~uShift + F8~n, ~uControl + F8~n
 This command allows you to  delete  files  and  directories.
 There are four ways you can use this command:

       You can delete the file or directory under the cursor
        bar.

       You can delete a group of files and directories  that
        you've marked  with  the  ~uIns~n  key  or  ~uSelect group~n,
        ~uUnselect group~n and ~uInvert selection~n.

       You can type in the name of the file or directory  to
        delete (or a group of files and  directories  if  you
        use wildcard characters). Press  ~uShift + F8~n  or  hold
        down ~uShift~n when you  select  ~uDelete~n  from  the  ~uFiles~n
        menu. Be careful, though, as you can delete a lot  of
        files when you use wildcard characters.

       You can delete one file or directory under the cursor
        bar even if some files or  directories  were  marked.
        Press ~uControl + F8~n or  hold  down  ~uControl~n  when  you
        select ~uDelete~n from the ~uFiles~n menu.

   ~bCanceling Delete:~n
        Press ~uEsc~n at any time  to  stop  deleting  files  and
        directories.

   ~bDeleting subdirectories:~n
        If you use the shifted version of this  command  then
        you can check ~u~aInclude subdirectories~n to delete  files
        matching the source file name in all  subdirectories.
        If you delete selected files and directories then all
        files and subdirectories of the selected  directories
        will be processed for you.

   ~bRead-only and write-protected files:~n
        You'll be asked for confirmation before read-only and
        write-protected files are deleted.

   ~bNon-empty directories:~n
        If a directory is not  empty,  you'll  be  asked  for
        confirmation before the  Commander  deletes  it.  All
        files and  directories  in  this  directory  will  be
        deleted then.

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can use ~u^[~n, ~u^]~n, ~u^Enter~n and their shifted versions
        in the dialog box just like on the command line.

       You can't delete GEOS files on Commodore disks.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uAuto unselect files~n: check to unselect files as  soon
        as they have been processed during a group operation.
       ~uBackup image files~n: check to keep the  original  file
        as backup renamed to *.bak whenever you delete  files
        from image and archive files.
       ~uCommand exec mode~n: set to ~uTurbo~n or ~uWarp~n to  speed  up
        deleting files from disks in Commodore  drives.  Note
        Note that you can't delete  files  on  extended  1541
        disks in ~uNormal~n mode.
       ~uDelete file~n (confirmation):  check  for  confirmation
        about deleting each file.
       ~uGEOS support~n: check to delete GEOS files correctly.
       ~uKeep date stamps~n: check to keep  the  date  stamp  of
        modified image and archive files.
       ~uOrig format pattern~n: check to clear sectors with  the
        original format pattern of Commodore 1541 drives.
       ~uShow read errors~n: check to display an  error  message
        whenever a sector marked as bad  is  read  from  disk
        images.
       ~uWipe deleted files~n: check to  clear  the  sectors  of
        files deleted from disk images.
~p~bFile attributes~n                                   ~uControl + F7~n
 This command allows you to change  the  file  attributes  of
 files in the panels. There are three ways you can  use  this
 command:

       You can change the attributes of the file  under  the
        cursor bar.

       You can change the attributes of  all  files  in  the
        directory under the cursor bar.

       You can change the attributes of a group of files and
        of all files in the directories  that  you've  marked
        with the ~uIns~n key or ~uSelect group~n, ~uUnselect group~n  and
        ~uInvert selection~n.

 ~bA single file in a DOS panel:~n
 If you change the attributes, date and  time  for  a  single
 file, you'll see the following dialog box:

                 Attributes ͻ
                 Change file attributes for 
                       "somefile.ext"

 The current attributes will be shown with an  "x".  Use  the
 ~ucursor~n keys to move to the attributes you  want  to  change,
 and press ~uSpace~n to turn an attribute on or off. You can also
 change the date or time.

 ~bA single directory or a group of files and directories in  a~n
 ~bDOS panel:~n
 If you've selected a single directory or group of files  and
 directories, you'll be presented with a very similar dialog,
 but there will be two columns of attributes:

              Attributes ͻ
                  Change file attributes      
               ~bSet~n  ~bClear~n

                   [ Set ]   [ Cancel ]       
             ͼ

 If you want to turn an  attribute  on  for  all  the  files,
 check the ~uSet~n box; if you want to clear an attribute,  check
 the ~uClear~n box; otherwise, don't check  either  box  and  the
 attribute will not be changed for any of the files.  If  you
 want to change the date and/or the time of  all  the  files,
 fill the appropriate box; otherwise, leave them empty.

 ~bA single file in a CBM panel:~n
 If you change the attributes and  type  for a  single  file,
 you'll see the following dialog box:

                 Attributes ͻ
                 Change file attributes for 
                         "somefile"

 If you want to turn an  attribute  on  for  all  the  files,
 check the ~uSet~n box; if you want to clear an attribute,  check
 the ~uClear~n box; otherwise, don't check  either  box  and  the
 attribute will not be changed for any of the files.  If  you
 want to  change  the  type  of  all  the  files,  check  the
 appropriate box; otherwise, check the ~uDo not change~n box.

 ~bDOS attributes:~n
 Here are some definitions for the four file attributes:

     ~u~aRead only~n   Files that are marked read-only can be read,
                 but can't be modified or deleted.

     ~u~aArchive~n     The archive bit is set whenever  you  modify
                 a file. It is  usually  cleared  by  back-up
                 softwares after a file has been backed up.

     ~u~aHidden~n      Files that are marked hidden are not visible
                 using  DOS's  dir  command.  The   Commander
                 displays hidden files  with  a    character
                 between the name and extension.

     ~u~aSystem~n      System  files  are  reserved  for  some  DOS
                 files, such as  IBMBIO.COM  and  IBMDOS.COM.
                 Such files are not visible either.

 ~bCommodore attributes:~n
 Here are some definitions for the two  file  attributes  and
 the four file types:

     ~u~aWrite protected~n     Files that are  write-protected  can
                         only be read or modified, but  can't
                         be deleted. The  Commander  displays
                         write  protected  files  with  a   <
                         character after the file type.

     ~u~aClosed~n              The closed bit is set when an output
                         file is closed without error. If the
                         bit is clear, the file  is  probably
                         corrupted.  The  Commander  displays
                         ~bnot~n  closed  files  ("splat"  files)
                         with a * character before  the  file
                         type.

     ~u~aSequential~n          Used for sequential data files.

     ~u~aProgram~n             Used for executable program files.

     ~u~aUser~n                Used for files of custom format.

     ~u~aRelative~n            Used for random access data files.

   ~bNotes:~n
       If you've selected a directory, the attributes of all
        files in the directory  and  all  its  subdirectories
        will be changed.

       You can't change the attributes of files inside  PC64
        file images or archives.

       It is not advised to change the type  of  a  relative
        file, or to change a non-relative file to a  relative
        file.
~p~bFile info~n
 This command gives you a brief information  about  the  file
 under the cursor bar.

 ~bInfo about a binary file:~n
 If you  ask  info  about  a  binary  file,  you'll  see  the
 following box:

                    File info ͻ
                    File    "somefile"   
                    Type    Program file 
                    Size    6 blocks;    
                            1,524 bytes  
                    Start   2,049; $0801 
                                         
                            ~r OK ~n         
                   ͼ

       ~uFile~n shows the name of the file.

       ~uType~n shows the type of the file (program,  sequential
        or user).

       ~uSize~n shows the size of the  file  in  blocks  and  in
        bytes. In disks, disk images and  filepacked  ZipCode
        archives the size is stored in blocks, therefore  the
        exact size in bytes is unknown, and is  rather  given
        as an interval (for example, "1,271 - 1,524 bytes").

       ~uStart~n shows the start address (normally the first two
        bytes) of a program in decimal and  hexadecimal.  You
        won't see this item, if the file is not a program  or
        if it's on a disk in a Commodore drive, because  that
        would need additional reading.

 In case you asked info about a GEOS file in  a  disk  image,
 you'll get the following additional info:

       The icon of the file is displayed on the left.

       ~uType~n shows the GEOS type of the file.

       ~uClass~n shows the class of the file.

       ~uStruct~n shows the structure of the file (sequential or
        VLIR).

       ~uDate~n shows the date of the last modification.

       ~uAuthor~n shows the name of the program's author or  the
        name of the application that created the file.

       The description is displayed at the bottom.

 ~bInfo about an image file:~n
 If you  ask  info  about  an  image  file,  you'll  see  the
 following box:

              File info ͻ
              File    "somefile.d64"           
              Type    Disk image (35 tracks)   
              Label   "disk name_______,id_2a" 
                                               
                            ~r OK ~n               
             ͼ

       ~uFile~n gives you the name of the file.

       ~uType~n displays the type of the  file  (disk  image  or
        tape image).

       ~uLabel~n tells you the label of the image file.
~p~bLaunch emulator~n
 You can use this option to launch emulators and run software
 under them right from the Commander main screen. It can also
 be used for calling other external  softwares  that  support
 Commodore file formats.

 The emulator launch menu is stored in the file  ~uscimage.mnu~n,
 in the Commander's directory. The following file was used to
 create the menu above for disk images:

 File pattern designators always start  with  an  exclamation
 mark, but, apart from that, they follow the general rules of
 file patterns. The launch  menu  for  a  given  file  format
 starts at the corresponding file pattern designator and ends
 at the next one. You may assign the same  menu  for  several
 file patterns, then you have to start each file pattern with
 an exclamation mark.

 Menu titles start with a hot key (optional) followed by  the
 title you want to see in the pop-up menu. The  DOS  commands
 are indented.

 Comment lines must contain the ' symbol in the first column.
 If you want to specify a title for the menu box  then  start
 the menu file with a line "'title Menu Title".

 You can type the @ symbol before any DOS command  to  cancel
 the output of the prompt and the command line.

 Here are all the ! arguments that you can  use  in  commands
 for the active panel. Note that symbols containing  a  tilde
 character are equivalent with the ones without a tilde,  but
 they use long file names instead of short ones:

   ~bArgument~n     ~bWhat~n                            ~bExample~n
           
   !:           Drive letter                    A:
   !\   !~~\     Path with backslash             \PATH\
   !.!  !~~.!    Image name with extension       diskname.d64
   !/           Current path inside image       dir1/dir2/
   !            File name, converted to ASCII   filename
   !^           File name                       FILENAME
   !#           Zero-based index of file        3
   !!           Insert the "!" character        !

 The % arguments are used for the inactive panel:

   ~bArgument~n     ~bWhat~n                            ~bExample~n
           
   %:           Driver letter                   A:
   %\   %~~\     Path with backslash             \PATH\
   %.%  %~~.%    Image name with extension       diskname.d64
   %%           Insert the "%" character        %

   ~bNotes:~n
       You can popup this menu simply by double-clicking  or
        pressing ~uEnter~n on  files  inside  image  and  archive
        files. Menus consisting of a single item are executed
        at once, without any user intervention.

       You can use DOS wildcard characters. So, for example,
        "*:" will match any extension.

       You must use the symbol "!" in command  lines  passed
        on to all emulators, except for C64S, for  which  the
        symbol  "!^"  should  be  used.  While  "!"  converts
        characters from PETSCII to ASCII, "!^" doesn't.

       When GEOS support is enabled,  GEOS  file  names  are
        not translated from PETSCII to ASCII because they are
        ASCII-based.

       Those characters in Commodore file names not  allowed
        in the DOS command line (space, quotation mark, etc.)
        are automatically converted into the  form  of  "$xy"
        where "xy" is the hexadecimal PETSCII code  for  that
        character. Use the same notation when  entering  text
        containing such characters.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uGEOS support~n: check to display GEOS  disks  and  disk
        images correctly.
       ~uPrefer long names~n:  check  to  have  the  meaning  of
        symbols with and without a tilde  toggled;  the  ones
        without tilde will be for long file names, while  the
        ones with tilde for short ones.
~p~bSelect/Unselect group/Invert selection~n        ~uGray +~n, ~u-~n, ~u*~n, ~u^M~n
 These commands allow you to select and unselect a  group  of
 files. With ~uSelect group~n and ~uUnselect group~n,  a  dialog  box
 appears into which  you  can  type  wildcard  characters  to
 specify which files and directories to select  or  unselect.
 For example, "*.doc" selects all the  files  with  the  .doc
 extension. There are three ways you can use these commands:

       You can select or unselect some files by  entering  a
        wildcard pattern.

       You can select or unselect some files and directories
        by entering a wildcard pattern. Press  ~uShift + Gray +~n
        or ~uShift + Gray -~n or hold down ~uShift~n when you  select
        ~uSelect group~n or ~uUnselect group~n from the Files menu.

       You can select or unselect all the files in the panel
        with a single  keypress.  Press  ~uControl + Gray +~n  or
        ~uControl + Gray -~n or hold down ~uControl~n when you select
        ~uSelect group~n or ~uUnselect group~n from the  ~uFiles~n  menu.
        You can also hold down ~uShift~n to include  directories,
        too.

 ~bInvert selection~n
 This command inverts the current  selection  by  unselecting
 all the files which are  selected,  and  selecting  all  the
 files which are not selected.

 ~bRestore selection~n
 This command can be used to restore  a  previously  selected
 group. If you have just copied a group of files and want  to
 copy them again  to  somewhere  else  you  can  restore  the
 selection group and repeat the copy command.

 ~bDOS wildcard characters:~n
 DOS file names have two parts: the name (which can be up  to
 8 characters) and the  extension  (which  can  be  up  to  3
 characters)  with  a  period  in   between.   For   example,
 "filename.ext".

     *  Match any characters for the  rest  of  the  name  or
        extension. "a*" will match "a", "ab", and  "abc",  as
        well as many others. "*" applies just to one part  of
        the file name, so "a*" will  ~unot~n  match  "ab.c".  Use
        "a*.*" to find all files that start with "a" and have
        any extension. (Note: "*a" will match  any name,  and
        not just names with an "a" at the end  as  you  might
        expect.)

     ?  Match one character. So "a?" will  match  "a",  "ab",
        "ac", etc. "????" will match any name with up to four
        characters.

 ~bWindows wildcard characters:~n
 Windows long file names contain up to 255 characters.

     *  Match any number (even zero) of any characters.  "a*"
        will match all files that  start  with  an  "a",  for
        example, "a", "ab", and "ac", as well as many others.
        Unlike with short file names, "*a"  will  only  match
        names with an "a" at the end.

     ?  Match one character. "?" applies only  to  characters
        before the end of the file name, so "a?"  will  match
        "ab", "ac", etc., but ~unot~n "a". "????" will match  any
        name with ~uexactly~n four characters.

 ~bCommodore wildcard characters:~n
 Commodore file names contain up to 16 characters.

     *  Match any number (even zero) of any characters.  "a*"
        will match all files that  start  with  an  "a",  for
        example, "a", "ab", and "ac", as well as many others.
        "*a" will only match names with an "a"  at  the  end.
        (~bNote:~n This is the Unix behavior. With real Commodore
        drives, "*a" matches all the files, as  the  wildcard
        "*" matches any characters for the rest of  the  file
        name.)

     ?  Match one character. "?" applies only  to  characters
        before the end of the file name, so "a?"  will  match
        "ab", "ac", etc., but ~unot~n "a". "????" will match  any
        name with ~uexactly~n four characters.

     =  Specifies file type. Enter the character "=" and  the
        first character of the file type after the file  name
        to match only files with the  given  file  type.  For
        example, while "a*" matches  ~uall~n  files  whose  names
        start with an "a", "a*=s" will match ~uonly~n  sequential
        files whose names start with an "a".

   ~bNotes:~n
       You  can  use   ~uSelect group~n   in   conjuction   with
        ~uUnselect group~n,   ~uInvert selection~n   and   ~uIns~n    (to
        select/unselect a single file or directory)  to  mark
        any groups of files and directories.

       You can enter multiple file name patterns,  delimited
        with commas or semi-colons, into the dialog box.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uIns moves down~n: check to move  the  cursor  bar  down
        whenever you select a file with ~uIns~n.
~p~bQuit~n                                                       ~uF10~n
 This command quits the Commander.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uQuit program~n (confirmation): check  for  confirmation
        about leaving the Commander.
~p~bCommands pull-down menu~n
 The Commands menu provides access to a number of commands in
 the Commander. All the commands in this menu  are  described
 in the following help screens.

 There are three groups of commands in this pull-down menu:

    ~uCommands~n      The first group contains nine commands  for
                  creating image  files,  editing  disks  and
                  disk images directly, changing  the  labels
                  of disks and image files, copying  a  whole
                  disk from or to a disk  image,  compressing
                  files into archives, recalling  recent  DOS
                  commands, changing the number of  lines  on
                  the screen and changing the video mode.

    ~uPanels~n        These two commands  act  on  the  Left  and
                  Right panels to swap  the  left  and  right
                  panels, and to turn the panels on and off.

    ~uMenu~n          This command is used to edit the menu file,
                  which is the file  supporting  user-defined
                  menus.
~p~bMake image files~n                        ~uShift + F1~n, ~uShift + F2~n
 ~uShift + F1~n -- Make disk              ~uShift + F2~n -- Make tape

 This menu item allows you to make new empty image files  (in
 DOS panels). Enter the image file name in  the  upper  line,
 and the label in the lower line. When  making  disk  images,
 you can select the type of the disk  image  to  be  created.
 When making tape images, there's a third  line  for  you  to
 enter the number of entries between 1 and 500  (normally  it
 is 30). The format of the label is the following:

       For a disk image you can enter 16 characters of  name
        and 5 characters of ID, delimited with a  comma.  The
        name is filled up with  ~uShift-space~n  characters,  the
        ID with the remainder of "00_2a", for 1541  and  1571
        disk images, or "00_3d", for 1581 disk images.

       For a tape image you can enter the  label  up  to  24
        characters.  The  label  is  filled  up  with   ~uSpace~n
        characters.

   ~bAttaching error info blocks to disk images:~n
        If you want to mark some sectors as bad on the  newly
        created disk image, you might want to attach an error
        info block to the disk image right upon creation,  by
        checking ~u~aAttach error info block~n.

   ~bCreating GEOS disk images:~n
        If you want the disk image to appear as formatted  by
        GEOS, check ~u~aCreate GEOS disk~n.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uOrig format pattern~n: check to fill sectors  with  the
        original format pattern of Commodore 1541 drives.
~p~bDisk editor~n                                       ~uControl + F3~n
 This menu item allows you to directly view  and  change  the
 data of disk-based formats: Commodore  disks,  disk  images,
 GCR-coded  disk  images,  diskpacked  ZipCode  archives  and
 sixpacked ZipCode archives. There are three ways you can use
 this command:

       You can edit the disk image or ZipCode archive  under
        the cursor bar in a DOS panel. The first  BAM  sector
        of the disk is loaded.

       You can edit the disk image or ZipCode  archive  that
        you are inside in the active panel. The first  sector
        of the file under the cursor bar is loaded.

       You can edit the Commodore disk in a Commodore  drive
        panel. The first sector of the file under the  cursor
        bar is loaded.

 Note that you can't change data in  GCR-coded  disk  images,
 diskpacked ZipCode archives and sixpacked  ZipCode  archives
 as these are opened for read only. Also, you can't enter the
 error  info  editor  because  these  disk  formats  hold  no
 explicit error information.

 In the disk editor, the following data is displayed  at  the
 top of the screen:

        ~uTrack~n and ~uSector~n show the current track and sector.

        ~uOffset~n shows the linear offset of  the  sector  into
         the disk.

        ~uStatus~n shows whether the current block  is  used  or
         free, if the BAM of the disk or disk image is valid.

        ~uPosition~n shows the offset of the byte under the
         cursor.

 Below are the history of the last command, the command  line
 and the sector editor, where you can change the sector data.
 If the size of the screen allows, the bottom of  the  screen
 shows the current contents of the clipboard.

 ~bCommand reference:~n
   ~uE~n, ~uF4~n or ~uEnter~n Edit the contents of the edit  buffer.  See
                  ~uDisk editor -- Keyboard reference~n for  more
                  details.

   ~uU~n              Undo all changes in the edit  buffer  since
                  the last read.

   ~uR~n or ~uF3~n        Read the  specified  block  into  the  edit
                  buffer.

   ~uW~n or ~uF2~n        Write the contents of the  edit  buffer  to
                  the specified block.

   ~uN~n              Read the next block following in the sector
                  chain.

   ~uL~n              Re-read the block last read or written.

   ~uF5~n             Goto the (first) BAM sector.

   ~uF6~n             Goto the first directory sector.

   ~uF7~n             Goto the first track.

   ~uF8~n             Goto the last track.

   ~uShift + F1~n to  Goto the first block of files directly from
      ~uShift + F8~n  directory sectors.

   ~uAlt + F1~n to    Goto the info block of GEOS files  directly
        ~uAlt + F8~n  from directory sectors.

   ~u0~n to ~u9~n         Swap the contents of the edit  buffer  with
                  that of the specified work buffer. You  can
                  use this  feature  to  copy  data  directly
                  inside or between disk images and disks.

   ~uGray +~n         Increase the sector number; if it is higher
                  than the maximum number of sectors on  that
                  track, the first sector of the  next  track
                  will be read.

   ~uShift + Gray +~n Increase the track number.

   ~uGray -~n         Decrease the  sector  number;  if  it  goes
                  under zero, the last sector of the previous
                  track will be read.

   ~uShift + Gray -~n Decrease the track number.

   ~uH~n              Toggle hexa display. Normally block data is
                  displayed in hexadecimal form. However, you
                  can switch to decimal display, as well.

   ~uA~n              Toggle auto-read. It is normally on,  which
                  means the Commander will read the specified
                  block into the edit buffer when  the  track
                  or sector is changed.

   ~uB~n              Edit the  BAM  (Block Availability Map)  of
                  the current disk or  disk  image.  You  can
                  allocate and free single sectors and  whole
                  tracks. Sectors marked as bad in the  error
                  info are displayed with a different  color.
                  Press ~uF2~n to save changes.

   ~uI~n              Edit the error info attached to the current
                  disk image. You can put errors onto  single
                  sectors or whole tracks. Sectors marked  as
                  unused in the  BAM  are  displayed  with  a
                  different color. Press ~uF2~n to  save  changes
                  or ~uF8~n to truncate the error info  from  the
                  disk image.

   ~uD~n              Display directory. You can check if  you've
                  changed the right thing  in  the  directory
                  without having to exit the disk editor.

   ~uS~n              Toggle storing locations. When  it  is  on,
                  the current track and sector will be  saved
                  into the location buffer  at  any  read  or
                  write. You can use this  feature  to  trace
                  sector chains.

   ~uO~n              Toggle showing owners. When it is  on,  the
                  name of the file, that the  current  sector
                  belongs to, is displayed at the upper right
                  corner of the screen.  You  can  also  move
                  around the sectors that belong to the  same
                  file.

   ~uT~n              Trace a file starting at the current  block
                  to its last block.

   ~uShift + Home~n   Clear the contents of the location buffer.

   ~bWhen owners are not displayed:~n

   ~u~n              Move forward in the location buffer.

   ~uPgDn~n           10 steps forward in the location buffer.

   ~u~n              Move backward in the location buffer.

   ~uPgUp~n           10 steps backward in the location buffer.

   ~uHome~n           Move to first location.

   ~uEnd~n            Move to last location.

   ~bWhen owners are displayed:~n

   ~u~n              Move forward in the current file.

   ~uPgDn~n           10 sectors forward in the current file.

       ~uDisk editor~n (confirmation):  check  for  confirmation
        about proceeding to another  sector  or  leaving  the
        disk editor if the current sector has been modified.
       ~uGEOS support~n: check to be able to use GEOS files.
       ~uKeep date stamps~n: check to keep  the  date  stamp  of
        modified disk images.
       ~uTransfer mode~n: set to  ~uTurbo~n  or  ~uWarp~n  to  speed  up
        reading and writing sectors  from  and  to  Commodore
        drives.
~p~bVolume label~n                                      ~uControl + F4~n
 This command changes the label of an image file or a disk in
 a Commodore drive. The label is displayed in the upper  line
 line of the full mini status box. The volume labels  of  DOS
 disks are also displayed when you use DOS's dir command.

       In an Commodore disk or a disk image you can enter 16
        characters of name and 5 characters of ID,  delimited
        with a comma. The name is filled up with  ~uShift-space~n
        characters, the ID with the remainder of "00_2a", for
        1541 and 1571 disk images, or "00_3d", for 1581  disk
        images.

       In a tape image panel you can enter the label  up  to
        24 characters. The label will be filled up with ~uSpace~n
        characters.
~p~bCopy disk~n                                             ~uAlt + F5~n
 This command allows you to copy whole disks between  any  of
 the disk-based formats: Commodore disks, disk  images,  GCR-
 coded disk images, diskpacked ZipCode archives and sixpacked
 ZipCode archives. There are  four  ways  you  can  use  this
 command:

       You can copy the disk image or ZipCode archive  under
        the cursor bar in a DOS panel.

       You can copy  a  group  of  disk  images  or  ZipCode
        archives you've marked in a DOS panel.

       You can copy the disk image or ZipCode  archive  that
        you are inside in the active panel.

       You can copy the disk in a Commodore drive panel.

   ~bCanceling Copy disk:~n
        Press ~uEsc~n at any time to stop copying disks.

   ~bReading disk errors:~n
        If a damaged sector or track is  encountered  on  the
        Commodore disk, you can ~uRetry~n it; or ~uSkip~n it, keeping
        as much data from the sector as possible;  or  ~uCancel~n
        the data transfer  completely.  Press  ~uSkip track~n  to
        skip the track with the  damaged  sector,  discarding
        data from the whole track; or press ~uSkip auto~n to have
        all subsequent damaged  sectors  and  tracks  skipped
        automatically. This applies only when the source is a
        Commodore disk; in other formats, errors are constant
        so there's no way of fixing them with mere retries.

   ~bWriting disk errors:~n
        When the destination is a disk image and one or  more
        errors occurred during the disk copy and you  haven't
        retried all of them then, at the end, you're  offered
        to have an error info  block  attached  to  the  disk
        image, which holds error information for each sector.
        Press ~uDisplay~n to view the error  info  in  the  error
        info editor. If the destination is a Commodore  disk,
        GCR-coded disk image or  sixpacked  ZipCode  archive,
        errors are stored as part of the data. If the  source
        is a disk image, data from sectors, marked as damaged
        in the error info  block,  is  intentionally  damaged
        before written into  these  formats.  For  diskpacked
        ZipCode archives as destination, error information is
        completely lost.

   ~bOverwriting destination disks:~n
        You'll be  asked  for  confirmation  before  existing
        disk images or ZipCode archives are overwritten. When
        copying multiple disks (see  below),  you  can  check
        ~u~aAuto skip existing files~n to  suppress  the  overwrite
        confirmation and continue with the next  non-existant
        file name instead.

   ~bMerging disk images:~n
        If you selected a mode other than full disk copy  and
        the destination disk image already exists then you're
        asked for confirmation about merging the source  disk
        with  the  destination.  When  merging,  all  sectors
        selected on the source disk image overwrite those  in
        the destination disk image. The two BAM's  and  error
        info blocks, if any, are also merged, by copying  the
        allocation and error status of sectors along with the
        sector data. This applies only when  the  destination
        is a disk image; merging other disk  formats  is  not
        supported.

   ~bCopying multiple disks:~n
        If you copy several Commodore disks, disk  images  or
        ZipCode archives into anything other  than  Commodore
        disks, check ~u~aCopy multiple disks with index~n  and  the
        the Commander will bring the initial dialog box back,
        as soon as the copy of the  previous  disk  has  been
        successfully finished. The  end  of  the  destination
        file name is also changed to the next numerical index
        automatically.  Check  ~u~aUse disk side letters in index~n
        to generate indices that contain not  only  a  number
        but a disk side letter at the  end,  too.  Note  that
        disk side letters are available for single-sided disk
        formats only. File name indexing  applies  only  when
        the destination is not a Commodore disk as  Commodore
        disks have no file name that could be indexed.

   ~bFormatting destination disks:~n
        If you copy a great number of  disks  to  unformatted
        Commodore disks, then  check  ~u~aFormat destination disk~n
        and the Commander will format the  destination  disks
        with the label of their respective source disk.  This
        applies only when  the  destination  is  a  Commodore
        disk; other disk  formats  are  implicitly  formatted
        upon creation.

   ~bSelecting disks to copy:~n
        Check ~u~aShow source dir before copy~n to have the  source
        disk directory displayed before the actual disk copy,
        and also a box pop up, asking  whether  you  want  to
        copy that particular disk or not. Press ~uAll~n  to  have
        all subsequent disks copied without confirmation.

   ~bSelecting sectors to copy:~n
        Choose ~u~aFull disk copy~n to  copy  all  sectors  on  the
        disk. Choose ~u~aBAM disk copy~n to copy used sectors only.
        Choose ~u~aSafe BAM disk copy~n to copy used  sectors  plus
        the full directory track, regardless of  whether  its
        sectors are used or free. Choose ~u~aManual selection~n  to
        be able to manually specify the sectors to be copied:
        you'll be presented with a BAM editor. ~bNote:~n  In  the
        BAM editor, press ~uEnter~n to accept your selection  and
        start copying the disk, or abort  the  selection  and
        the disk copy with ~uEsc~n.

   ~bCopying disks with conflicting ID's:~n
        If you check ~u~aCheck BAM ID against header ID~n, the  BAM
        ID of the source disk will  be  checked  against  the
        sector header ID of the BAM sector. If they mismatch,
        you will be offered to have the BAM ID changed to the
        sector header ID in the destination disk image.  This
        applies only when the source is not a disk image  and
        the destination is a disk image; disk  image  sources
        have no sector header  ID;  destinations  other  than
        disk images have separate sector header ID's so  this
        problem doesn't arise. ~bNote:~n Accepting the offer  may
        help  with  softwares,  that  expect  certain  sector
        header ID's to recognize their  own  disks,  provided
        that you launch the disk image in an emulator that is
        capable of using the BAM ID  to  emulate  the  sector
        header ID.

   ~bNotes:~n
       The disk copier can't read/write raw data  (GCR-coded
        data, sector headers, damaged  sector  data)  from/to
        Commodore disks unless you  switch  ~uTransfer mode~n  to
        ~uWarp~n.

       If you set up a disk copy from a Commodore  drive  to
        disk images or ZipCode archives and  specify  only  a
        path name for the destination, then the "disk001a" or
        "disk0001" file  name  -  depending  on  whether  you
        enabled disk side letter indexing - is  appended  and
        the disk copier set up  for  copying  multiple  disks
        automatically.

       If you set up a disk copy from disk images or ZipCode
        archives to other disk images or ZipCode archives and
        specify only a path name for the target,  destination
        disks will inherit the file names of their respective
        source disks.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uAbort data transfer~n (confirmation): check to ask  for
        confirmation about aborting the  data  transfer  with
        the Commodore drive when copying disks from or to it.
       ~uAuto unselect files~n: check to unselect files as  soon

~p~bCompress~n                                              ~uAlt + F6~n
 Compressing files allows you to keep files on your disk in a
 format that is easier to carry and takes up less space  than
 usual. The files  are  still  easy  to  access  -  you  just
 decompress them before using them. With  the  Commander  you
 have the ability to handle compressed files in panels,  just
 like normal directory panels.

 This option will compress files for you. Highlight the files
 you want to  compress  and  then  select  this  option.  The
 Compress dialog box appears. Enter the name of the file that
 you want the selected files compressed  to  and  choose  its
 archive format. Once selected, each file  in  turn  will  be
 compressed into the file given.

   ~bDeleting source files:~n
        Check  ~u~aDelete files afterwards~n  to  have  the  source
        files deleted as soon as they have been  successfully
        compressed.

   ~bNote:~n  To be able to compress or decompress LHA  archives,
          you need LHA 2.14 or newer for  DOS.  ZIP  archives
          are compressed and decompressed with  the  help  of
          Info-ZIP's zip 2.20 and unzip  5.40  or  newer  for
          DOS; PKZIP is not supported. All other file formats
          are handled by the Commander internally.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uAuto unselect files~n: check to unselect files as  soon
        as they have been processed during a group operation.
       ~uBackup image files~n: check to keep the  original  file
        as backup renamed  to  *.bak  whenever  you  compress
        files into archive files.
       ~uConvert chars~n: set  to  convert  PETSCII  characters,
        that have no exact ASCII equivalent,  to  hexadecimal
        codes and vice versa, while  compressing  files  from
        CBM panels to ASCII-based archive formats.
       ~uConvert file name~n (confirmation): check  to  ask  for
        confirmation about using automatically converted file
        names.
       ~uExtract file images~n: specify whether to  extract  the
        contents of PC64 file  images  or  compress  them  as
        normall DOS files.
       ~uFile sizes~n (warning): check to display a warning when
        the source file possibly doesn't fit the  destination
        image or archive file.
       ~uGEOS support~n: check to compress GEOS files  correctly
        into any archive format.
       ~uKeep date stamps~n: check to keep  the  date  stamp  of
        modified image and archive files and to give the date
        stamp of the container image  or  archive  to  binary
        files extracted out of them.
       ~uKeep lowercase chars~n: check to leave DOS  file  names
        as typed in, rather than  converting  full  lowercase
        file names to full uppercase.
       ~uKeep non-standard ext~n: check to keep  DOS-style  file
        extensions in Commodore file names and to attach  the
        DOS file name extension to Commodore file names, when
        compressing files between DOS and CBM panels.
       ~uKeep uppercase chars~n: uncheck  to  convert  uppercase
        characters in the converted file name  to  lowercase,
        when compressing files from a  DOS  panel  to  a  CBM
        panel.
       ~uProgram extension~n: fill in with the DOS extension for
        program files,  attached  when  compressing  programs
        from a CBM panel to a DOS panel.
       ~uShow read errors~n: check to display an  error  message
        whenever a sector marked as bad  is  read  from  disk
        images.
~p~bHistory~n                                               ~uAlt + F8~n
 This command brings up a list with  the  last  DOS  commands
 that you have issued in  this  Commander  session.  Use  the
 cursor keys and press ~uEnter~n (or double-click with the mouse)
 to execute one of these commands again. You can  also  press
 ~uControl + Enter~n in the list to paste the  command  into  the
 command line without executing it.

    ~bShortcut:~n  To recall a recent command, you can  type  the
               first few letters of  the  command  and  press
               ~uControl + Enter~n. For example,  to  recall  the
               command "word somefile", type "wo" followed by
               ~uCtrl-Enter~n.

               This shortcut recalls the most recent  command
               that starts with the letters you've typed.
~p~bEGA lines~n                                             ~uAlt + F9~n
 This command toggles the display  between  24-  and  43-line
 modes (on an EGA) or 25- and 50-line modes (on a VGA).

 With the number of lines increased, you'll be  able  to  see
 more on the screen when you're in the Commander.

   ~bNotes:~n
       The Commander does not save or restore this  setting,
        it rather adapts itself to the  current  screen  mode
        upon startup.

       On some systems, the ~uansi.sys~n driver (loaded  in  the
        ~uconfig.sys~n file) will limit DOS's output to the first
        25 lines of the screen. If  you   want  to  use  more
        lines, remove ~uansi.sys~n from ~uconfig.sys~n.
~p~bVideo mode~n                                           ~uAlt + F10~n
 This command enumerates the text screen modes  available  on
 your video card, including VESA modes, and lets  you  change
 to another mode.

   ~bNotes:~n
       The Commander does not save or restore this  setting,
        it rather adapts itself to the  current  screen  mode
        upon startup.

       Under Windows, calling this command  may  switch  the
        Commander's DOS shell  to  full  screen.  Also,  VESA
        modes work only in full screen under Windows.

       Certain softwares  may  not  work  properly  in  some
        screen modes.

            First column in the editor

 Menu titles start with a hot key (optional) followed by  the
 title you want to see in the pop-up menu. The  DOS  commands
 are indented.

 If you wish to use a submenu then type  its  name  with  the
 extension ".mnu". Don't use drive letters or paths,  because
 the Commander searches for menu files only in the  directory
 from which it was started. If the submenu has  a  long  file
 name then enclose it into quotation marks.

 Comment lines must contain the ' symbol in the first column.
 If you want to specify a title for the menu box  then  start
 the menu file with a line "'title Menu Title".

 You can type the @ symbol before any DOS command  to  cancel
 the output of the prompt and the command line.

 Here are all the ! arguments that you can  use  in  commands
 for the active panel. Note that symbols containing  a  tilde
 character are equivalent with the ones without a tilde,  but
 they use long file names instead of short ones:

   ~bArgument~n     ~bWhat~n                            ~bExample~n
           
   !:           Drive letter                    A:
   !\   !~~\     Path with backslash             \PATH\
   !/   !~~/     Path without backslash          \PATH
   !.!  !~~.!    File name with the extension    filename.ext
   !    !~~      File name without extension     filename
   !`   !~~`     File extension without dot      ext
   !@   !~~@     List of selected files          C:\SC\sc.lst
   !!           Insert the "!" character        !

 The % arguments are used for the inactive panel:

   ~bArgument~n     ~bWhat~n                            ~bExample~n
           
   %:           Drive letter                    A:
   %\   %~~\     Path with backslash             \PATH\
   %/   %~~/     Path without backslash          \PATH
   %.%  %~~.%    File name with the extension    filename.ext
   %    %~~      File name without extension     filename
   %`   %~~`     File extension without dot      ext
   %@   %~~@     List of selected files          C:\SC\sc2.lst
   %%           Insert the "%" character        %

 The ~uTEMP~n environment variable sets the path where  the  list
 files SC.LST and SC2.LST are created. If the  ~uTEMP~n  variable
 is not set, the list files are created in the directory from
 which the Commander was started.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uPrefer long names~n:  check  to  have  the  meaning  of
        symbols with and without a tilde  toggled;  the  ones
        without tilde will be for long file names, while  the
        ones with tilde for short ones.
~p~bOptions pull-down menu~n
 The items in this pull-down menu allow you  to  set  various
 operations of the Commander.
~p~bConfiguration...~n                                  ~uControl + F9~n
 This item opens a menu of configuration screens which  allow
 you to change the behavior of the Commander.

 Leave the menu with ~uEsc~n to apply  all  the  changes,  you've
 made, at once. Press ~uF10~n to have a confirmation  box  popped
 up instead.
~p~bConfiguration~n
 This dialog box allows you to set a number of  configuration
 options. Use the ~ucursor~n keys to move to the option you  want
 to change, and use the ~uSpace~n bar to change an option.  Press
 ~uEnter~n to accept the dialog box.

 ~b~aScreen colors~n
 This option allows you to  choose  whether  or  not  to  use
 colors. Use the ~uLaptop~n  option  if  you're  using  a  laptop
 computer that can't show colors.

 ~b[ ] ~aMenu bar visible~n
 Normally the menu bar is visible  only  as  long  as  you're
 selecting an item from it. Check this  option  to  keep  the
 menu bar always visible on the screen.

 ~b[x] ~aError sound~n
 Check this option to hear a warning beep every time an error
 occurs.

 ~b[x] ~aAuto save setup~n
 When this option  is  checked, the Commander  will  remember
 exactly how you set up the Commander, even  after  you  turn
 off your computer. Uncheck this option if you don't want the
 Commander to remember so well (in which case you'll need  to
 use ~uShift + F9~n to save the settings).

 ~b~aScreen blank~n
 This option controls the delay with  no  keyboard  or  mouse
 activity, in minutes, after which the Commander blanks  your
 screen. Enter zero to keep  the  screen  from  blanking.  To
 blank the screen instantly, move the mouse  into  the  upper
 right corner. Move the mouse to the lower  right  corner  to
 keep the screen from blanking.

 ~b[ ] ~aAlternative hotkeys~n
 When enabled, some keys - mostly ones that are hard  to  use
 on a laptop - can be substituted with a key (combination) on
 the alphanumerical keyboard. See ~uKeyboard reference~n for more
 details. Note that these replacement keys work only  if  the
 command line is empty.

 ~b[x] ~aIns moves down~n
 When checked, the cursor bar will move down after you select
 a file with the ~uIns~n key.

 ~b[x] ~aEscape toggles panels~n
 This options allows you to enable or disable ~uEsc~n turning the
 panels on or off, just like ~uCtrl-O~n does.

 ~b[x] ~aAlt tap selects menu~n
 If you check this option,  you'll  be  able  to  access  the
 pull-down menus by tapping ~uAlt~n, too.

 ~b[x] ~aCheck CGA snow~n
 Normally, if the Commander detects a CGA video card, it will
 avoid the snowing of the display. However,  if  you  have  a
 non-snowing CGA video card or you're  willing  to  speed  up
 screen display at the cost of snowing, you can uncheck  this
 option.

 ~b[x] ~aVESA support~n
 Normally, when available, the Commander uses the  VESA  BIOS
 extensions to detect the current screen mode and offers  you
 a wider range of text screen resolutions. However,  if  this
 causes strang behavior on your hardware, you can switch VESA
 BIOS usage off, by disabling this option. ~bNote:~n  to  disable
 usage of the VESA BIOS  already  upon  startup,  launch  the
 software with the ~u/novesa~n option.

 ~b[ ] ~aLeft-handed mouse~n
 Swaps the left and right mouse buttons, which is  useful  if
 you want the mouse on the left side of the computer  instead
 of the right.

 ~b[ ] ~aFast mouse reset~n
 On some computers (e.g.  a  PS/2  or  COMPAQ  with  a  mouse
 connected to the built-in mouse port) there will be a  delay
 of several seconds before the Commander  appears  after  you
 run a DOS command. Check this option to reduce this delay.

 ~b[ ] ~aAuto menus~n
 When  this  option  is  checked,  the  User   menus   appear
 automatically when the  Commander  first  starts.  The  User
 menus will also reappear automatically after you run a  User
 menu command.

 ~b[x] ~aPath prompt~n
 This option controls whether the DOS command line shows just
 the drive letter, or the drive letter plus the current path.

 ~b[x] ~aKey bar~n
 This option controls whether or not the function key bar  at
 the bottom of the screen is visible.

 ~b[x] ~aFull screen~n
 This option controls the size of the ~uLeft~n and ~uRight~n  panels.
 When checked, the panels will be  the  height  of  the  full
 screen.

 ~b[x] ~aClock~n
 This option, when checked, turns on a  clock  in  the  upper
 right corner  of  the  Commander's  screen  that  shows  the
 current time.
~p~bOther options~n
 This dialog box allows you to set  a  number  of  additional
 options. Use the ~ucursor~n keys to move to the option you  want
 to change, and use the ~uSpace~n bar to change an option.  Press
 ~uEnter~n to accept the dialog box.

 ~b[x] ~aLong file names~n
 Check this option to make  the  Commander  display  Windows-
 style long file names in the panels and use long file  names
 when processing files and directories. Uncheck it to  handle
 files and directories using their short names, the same  way
 as under DOS. ~bNote:~n You can also use ~uCtrl-N~n to  toggle  this
 setting.

 ~b[ ] ~aPrefer long names~n
 This option is normally unchecked so that the hotkeys,  that
 insert paths and file names into input lines, use short file
 names and so do ! and % symbols in menu and extension files.
 You'll have to use ~uShift~n with  the  hotkeys  and  the  tilde
 character with the symbols to use long file names.  Checking
 the option inverts this: by default, long file names will be
 used.

 ~b[x] ~aKeep lowercase chars~n
 Normally, it is allowed  to  create  files  and  directories
 whose name contains lowercase characters only. Uncheck  this
 option for file names, containing lowercase characters only,
 to be converted to full uppercase. Keep it checked,  if  you
 use national characters in file names.

 ~b[ ] ~aDOS sizes in blocks~n
 Normally file sizes, the free capacity or the capacity  used
 by the selected files in a DOS panel is displayed in  bytes.
 Check this option to display them in blocks. However,  files
 sorted by size are always sorted by the size in bytes.

 ~b[x] ~aConvert file name~n (confirmation)
 If checked, the Commander will offer you the converted  file
 name, and you'll be able to change it,  when  copying  files
 between DOS and CBM panels. Uncheck this  option  to  accept
 the automatic file name conversion.

 ~b[x] ~aDelete file~n (confirmation)
 Normally the Commander will ask you  confirmation  for  each
 file being deleted. Uncheck it for a single confirmation.

 ~b[x] ~aQuit program~n (confirmation)
 If you uncheck this option, you'll  be  able  to  leave  the
 Commander without having to confirm it.

 ~b[x] ~aAbort data transfer~n (confirmation)
 Uncheck this option to be able to abort  the  data  transfer
 between the PC and the Commodore drive without confirmation.

 ~b[x] ~aDisk editor~n (confirmation)
 Check this option for confirmations in the disk editor about
 writing a sector onto the disk and reading a new  sector  or
 leaving the disk editor when the  current  sector  has  been
 changed since the last save.

 ~b[x] ~aAuto unselect files~n
 With this option checked,  when  a  group  operation  is  in
 progress, each selected file will be unselected  immediately
 after it is copied, deleted etc. so that  you  can  see  how
 many files are not processed yet.

 ~b[ ] ~aKeep non-standard ext~n
 Normally the Commander cuts off the  extension  of  the  DOS
 file name, when converting it to Commodore format, and makes
 DOS-style Commodore file "extensions" (three  letters  after
 the rightmost period) part of the DOS file name. Check  this
 option to append all non-standard extensions (not  PRG,  SEQ
 or USR) to the  Commodore  file  name,  and  to  append  the
 Commodore "extension" to the DOS file name. Note  that  this
 option overrides the ~uProgram extension~n option.

 ~b[x] ~aCursor follows file name~n
 Normally this option is checked so that, when you  rename  a
 file, the cursor bar follows to file to  its  new  position.
 Also, when you create a new file or  directory,  the  cursor
 is placed on top of it. Uncheck the option if you  want  the
 cursor to stay at its original position in these cases.

 ~b~aProgram extension~n
 Fill in this line with the DOS extension for program  files.
 Whenever you copy a program file from a CBM panel to  a  DOS
 panel, this extension will be appended  to  the  file  name.
 When copying a file with this extension from a DOS panel  to
 a CBM panel, the extension will be removed.

 ~b~aInto file images~n
 Here you can specify what  format  to  use  for  destination
 files during a file operation when the destination is a  DOS
 panel. Select ~uNever~n to keep them as DOS files. Select ~uAlways~n
 to have them always converted into PC64 file images.  Select
 ~uCBM src~n to have them converted only if the source  file  was
 anything but a normal DOS file.

 ~b~aExtract file images~n
 Here you can specify what file  operations  should  do  with
 source files in PC64 file  image  format.  Select  ~uNever~n  to
 process them as DOS  files.  Select  ~uAlways~n  to  have  their
 contents always extracted. Select  ~uCBM dest~n  to  have  their
 contents extracted only if the destination is  anything  but
 a DOS panel.

 ~b[x] ~aData transfer~n (warning)
 When this option is checked, the Commander will warn you  if
 you try to access a Commodore drive in serial mode  under  a
 multi-tasking system, or any of the parallel ports is set to
 a mode which makes the data transfer impossible.

 ~b[x] ~aFile sizes~n (warning)
 Check this option, and the Commander will warn you  if:  the
 source file probably won't fit the destination disk or  disk
 image; compressing the  source  file  into  the  destination
 archive will make it so big that it can't be extracted on  a
 Commodore 1541 drive; or adding more files into a tape image
 will make them invisible under the C64S emulator.
~p~bImage options~n
 This dialog box allows  you  to  set  a  number  of  options
 related to image and archive files. Use the ~ucursor~n  keys  to
 move to the option you want to change, and use the ~uSpace~n bar
 to change an option. Press ~uEnter~n to accept the dialog box.

 ~b[ ] ~aQuality C64 charset~n
 Normally this is option is unchecked, so that when  the  C64
 character set is used, the VGA video card  is  left  in  the
 less aesthetic but  more  compatible  9-column  font  matrix
 mode. Check it to switch into 8-column font matrix mode,  in
 which there are no seams between frame characters but  which
 may cause strange effects with  non-compatible  hardware  or
 software.

 ~b[x] ~aBackup image files~n
 Check this option to make all changes in  a  temporary  file
 whenever you modify an image file, and to keep the  original
 file as backup renamed to *.bak in these cases.

 ~b[x] ~aGEOS support~n
 When checked, the extended file  types  of  GEOS  files  are
 displayed in the panels on GEOS disks and you can copy  GEOS
 files in the Convert file format from and  to  disk  images.
 Uncheck it to handle GEOS disks and files the  same  way  as
 usual ones.

 ~b[ ] ~aDisplay start info~n
 When checked, the Commander will display the position of the
 first block of files on disks and in disk  images,  and  the
 start address of programs in tape and  file  images  and  in
 uncompressed archive files.

 ~b[x] ~aShow read errors~n
 This option is normally checked so that an error message  is
 displayed when a sector read from a disk image is marked  as
 bad in the attached error info block. For  more  information
 on read errors, see ~uDisk errors~n.

 ~b~aDOS type~n
 This  option  determines  the  DOS  accelerator,  ~uSpeed DOS~n,
 ~uDolphin DOS~n or ~uPrologic DOS~n, whose method is used  to  store
 the additional BAM entries in  extended  1541  disk  images.
 This affects all file operations performed on extended  1541
 disk images but not Commodore disks.

 ~b[ ] ~aKeep date stamps~n
 When checked, the Commander will keep the date stamp of  the
 image files and archive  files  it  makes  changes  on,  and
 binary files will keep the date of the image file or archive
 file they were extracted out of.

 ~b[ ] ~aCopy onto dir track~n
 Normally, the Commander gives you an error message  as  soon
 as the data area of the destination disk image becomes full.
 Check this option to save file data into the unused  sectors
 of the directory track, as well. Note that  you  can't  copy
 data onto the directory track of Commodore drives.

 ~b~aConvert chars~n
 Set this option to ~uInvalid~n, if you  want  the  Commander  to
 convert those PETSCII characters, that have no equivalent in
 the ASCII character set or whose  ASCII  equivalent  is  not
 valid in a DOS or Windows file name,  to  hexadecimal  codes
 during file copies from CBM panels to DOS panels and convert
 such codes back to PETSCII characters, when copying  in  the
 other direction. ~uInv+Spc~n is similar but converts spaces,  as
 well. The default ~uNone~n converts no  characters  from  or  to
 hexadecimal codes.

 ~b[ ] ~aKeep uppercase chars~n
 Normally the Commander turns DOS file  names  to  lowercase,
 when converting them to Commodore format during  file  copy,
 as Commodore file names rarely  contain  uppercase  letters.
 Check this option to keep uppercase letters.

 ~b[ ] ~aWipe deleted files~n
 Check this option to clear the sectors  used  by  the  files
 being deleted in disk  images.  When  unchecked,  file  data
 won't be harmed, only the sectors will be freed.

 ~b[ ] ~aOrig format pattern~n
 This option is normally  unchecked  so  that  the  Commander
 fills up sectors in with zeros during formatting  disks  and
 disk images, cleaning disk images and wiping files  in  disk
 images. Sectors not copied from  the  disk  in  a  Commodore
 drive during BAM disk copy are also filled  up  with  zeros.
 This way you get the highest compression ratio possible when
 archiving the disk  images.  However,  you  can  check  this
 option to make the Commander put the original format pattern
 of Commodore 1541 drives into empty sectors.

 ~b~aDisk image soft interleaves~n
 You can change the soft interleave for each disk image type,
 for normal and GEOS files, here.  Note  that  these  options
 only affect the way files are saved into disk images.
~p~bTransfer options~n
 This dialog box allows  you  to  set  some  transfer-related
 options. Use the ~ucursor~n keys to move to the option you  want
 to change, and use the ~uSpace~n bar to change an option.  Press
 ~uEnter~n to accept the dialog box.

 ~b~aTransfer mode~n
 If ~uNormal~n is checked, the Commander will  use  the  original
 speed of the  Commodore  drive.  If  you  check  ~uTurbo~n,  the
 Commander will read from and write to the Commodore drive in
 turbo mode, about 2-3 times faster. You can check  ~uWarp~n  for
 an even higher, about 5-6 times  faster,  speed,  which  has
 some more advantages, as well: reading damaged  sectors  and
 duplicating read errors; writing  data  onto  the  directory
 track.

 ~b~aSerial cable~n
 Select ~uX1541~n for the standard X1541  cable.  ~uXE1541~n  selects
 the XE1541 extended cable, a substitute for the X1541  cable
 for newer PC's. ~uXM1541~n  uses  the  XM1541  multitask  cable,
 which works under GNU/Linux, as  well.  ~uXA1541~n  chooses  the
 XA1541 active cable, which is not only supported  by  native
 GNU/Linux and Windows programs  but  it  also  supports  all
 possible PC motherboards. ~uOpenCBM~n makes the Commander access
 the parallel port via the OpenCBM  driver.  Select  ~uNone~n  to
 disable the initialization of  parallel  ports.  This  helps
 under Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 where a real PC  printer  may
 print a page with  garbage  characters  when  the  Commander
 initializes the parallel port the printer is connected to.

 ~b~aParallel cable~n
 Select ~uNone~n to make use  of  no  additional  cable,  only  a
 serial cable. Selecting ~uXH15x1~n makes the Commander  use  the
 XH1541 or XH1571 hybrid cable, which give you 6-12 times the
 original speed in turbo mode and 6-20 times in warp mode, on
 a uni-directional parallel port  and  a  parallel  Commodore
 1541/1570/1571 drive.  You  can  get  the  best  performance
 possible by checking ~uXP15x1~n, which  needs  a  bi-directional
 parallel port and a parallel 1541/1570/1571 Commodore drive,
 and gives you 6-12  times  the  original  speed  with  turbo
 transfer and 10-20  times  with  warp  transfer,  using  the
 XP1541 or the XP1571 parallel cable; this  is  supported  by
 the OpenCBM driver, as well. Note that all these  additional
 cables require internal modifications in your drive.

 ~b~aAsync transfer~n
 Set to ~uNever~n to use synchronous data transfer via the serial
 cable all the time; ~uAlways~n  switches  to  asynchronous  data
 transfer all the time; ~uAuto~n uses synchronous mode under real
 DOS and asynchronous mode under  a  multi-tasking  operating
 system. Synchronous mode is fast  but  only  reliable  under
 real DOS; asynchronous mode allows you to use a serial cable
 under multi-tasking systems, at the cost of a slightly lower
 speed. ~bNote:~n the hybrid and parallel cables and  access  via
 the OpenCBM driver always use asynchronous data transfer.

 ~b[x] ~aManual timeouts~n
 Normally this option is checked, so that  you  can  manually
 generate timeouts and abort  the  access  of  the  Commodore
 drive by pressing ~uEsc~n. But beware, touching the keyboard may
 mess up the data transfer. If you uncheck this  option  then
 the Commander  will  not  check  the  keyboard  during  data
 transfer.

 ~b~aDelay value~n
 This option  controls  the  speed  at  which  the  Commander
 communicates with Commodore drives.  Its  default  value  is
 zero which makes  the  built-in  calibrator  autodetect  the
 speed for you. However, if you encounter  transfer  problems
 or you want to fine tune the transfer speed then  press  the
 ~uRecalibrate~n button to display the value, calculated  by  the
 automatic calibrator, and raise or lower it here manually.

 ~b~aParallel ports~n
 Select the parallel port to be used for the ~uSerial interface~n
 (X1541, XE1541 extended, XM1541 multitask or  XA1541  active
 cable) and the ~uParallel interface~n (XH1541 or  XH1571  hybrid
 or XP1541 or XP1571 parallel cable) here. Besides the  three
 logical parallel ports detected by the  BIOS,  you  can  use
 parallel ports at any address by selecting one of  the  last
 two custom slots and entering  the  port  address  manually.
 Note that only port addresses between $0200  and  $F800  and
 divisible by 4 are allowed. ~bWarning:~n You should  be  careful
 with custom port addresses because using a bad port  address
 may cause your PC behave erratically.

 ~b~aDetect port modes~n
 Normally, the mode of ~uAll~n parallel ports is detected so that
 you will be given a warning about incompatibilities  between
 the current port mode and cable settings.  However,  it  may
 cause lockups  with  incompatible  hardware,  block  certain
 parallel ports or interfere with other devices connected. If
 you're experiencing  such  problems,  you  can  disable  the
 detection by setting this option to ~uNone~n and  doing  a  hard
 reboot or restarting the DOS shell. The ~uUsed~n value makes the
 Commander detect the mode  of  only  those  ports  that  are
 configured in the ~uSerial interface~n and/or ~uParallel interface~n
 options.  Under  Windows  NT4/2000/XP/2003,  the  port  mode
 detection may cause long delays or crashes. Use  ~uSafeAll~n  or
 ~uSafeUsed~n to skip port mode detection under  these  operating
 systems but behave similarly to All and Used under others.

 ~b~aDrive type~n
 This option allows you to manually set the type of the drive
 connected to the PC. Supported are 1541, 1570, 1571 and 1581
 drives and 1570/1571 drives  in  1541  emulation  mode.  See
 ~uCommodore drives~n for more details.

 ~b~aExtended 1541 disks~n
 By default, this option is set to ~uNever~n and  all  operations
 with an Commodore 1541 drive assume that there are 35 tracks
 on the disks. However, after changing this option to ~uAlways~n,
 you can create and use disks and disk images with 40 tracks.
 Or, if you have mixed disks, set this option  to  ~uDetect~n  to
 have the number of tracks  detected. Note that  this  option
 only affects the disk editor, the disk copier, and the  fast
 format and validation of disks in a  Commodore  1541  drive.
 You won't be able to copy files from or to extended disks if
 the DOS in your drive can't handle the extra tracks. In this
 case, copy the whole disk  instead.  ~bWarning:~n  This  setting
 only tells the Commander in what mode to use disks. If  your
 DOS accelerator also autodetects extended disks  then  there
 may be a conflict between the way the Commander and the  DOS
 accelerator handle disks. Also, the detection of  the  extra
 tracks may cause long delays - up to a whole minute  -  with
 disks that have unformatted extra tracks or unusual data  on
 them.

 ~b~aDOS type~n
 This  option  determines  the  DOS  accelerator,  ~uSpeed DOS~n,
 ~uDolphin DOS~n or ~uPrologic DOS~n, whose method is used  to  store
 the additional BAM  entries in  extended  1541  disks.  This
 affects all  file  operations  performed  on  extended  1541
 disks but not disk images.

 ~b~aDisk copy mode~n
 Here you can specify the default value for the  same  option
 in the ~uCopy disk~n dialog box. Set the disk copy mode you  use
 most often.

 ~b~aInvalid GCR error~n
 Normally, Commodore 1541 drives return no error  message  if
 the data in the sector is apparently damaged, because  there
 are invalid GCR codes in it, but the checksum, accidentally,
 matches. If you have set ~uTransfer mode~n to  ~uWarp~n,  with  this
 option, you can force an error message for invalid GCR codes
 encountered while reading a Commodore disk. Select  ~uNone~n  to
 follow the  original  behavior  of  Commodore  1541  drives;
 ~u24,READ ERROR~n for the  error  that  is  present  in  earlier
 Commodore drives but not in the 1541; ~u23,READ ERROR~n  for  an
 error that is assumed to be more compatible  with  Commodore
 software.

 ~b~aNum of smart retries~n
 If you have weak or copy-protected disks and  you  have  set
 ~uTransfer mode~n to ~uWarp~n, setting this value to anything  other
 than zero will speed up the disk copy and get rid  of  error
 messages, as well. A bad sector is read  several  times  and
 the data is compared to the results of  previous  tries.  If
 the damaged data turns out to be  the  same  for  this  many
 consecutive tries, the  sector  is  considered  to  be  read
 successfully. Although no error message  is  displayed,  the
 error code will be noted. ~bNote~n: Make  sure  to  either  have
 ~uEndless retry~n enabled or ~uNumber of retries~n set to  a  higher
 value, otherwise you will get error messages, after all.

 ~b[ ] ~aDetect disk changes~n
 If you check this option then the Commander will  autodetect
 disk changes in the Commodore drive. As soon as the disk  is
 changed, the disk copy will  continue  with  the  next  disk
 automatically.

 ~b[ ] ~aEndless retry~n
 Check this option to make the disk copier keep  reading  bad
 sectors until it can read them correctly. You can press  ~uEsc~n
 to stop the endless loop.

 ~b[x] ~aVerify write~n
 When this option is checked, the Commander will  verify  the
 data written onto the disk in  the  Commodore  drive  during
 warp disk  copy.  Note  that  this  affects  only  the  warp
 transfer mode; in normal transfer mode, the  drive  verifies
 the disk itself and turbo mode does no verification at all.
~p~bDrive options~n
 This  dialog  box  allows  you  to  set  some  drive-related
 options. Use the ~ucursor~n keys to move to the option you  want
 to change, and use the ~uSpace~n bar to change an option.  Press
 ~uEnter~n to accept the dialog box.

 ~b~aCommand exec mode~n
 By default, the functions Validate, Delete  and  Format  are
 executed in ~uNormal~n mode, using the  original  DOS  commands.
 Check ~uTurbo~n to execute the DOS commands in turbo  mode.  The
 ~uWarp~n setting speeds up Validate and Delete even  more.  Note
 that you can't format extended 1541 disks in normal mode.

 ~b~aHead movement speed~n
 This option controls the speed of the stepper motor  in  the
 Commodore drive. A lower value makes head  movement  faster,
 thus speeding up file and disk copy a bit.  However,  a  too
 low value may make the drive unable to seek correctly. Enter
 zero to keep the default value of the drive. ~bNote:~n This  has
 no effect on 1581 drives.

 ~b[x] ~aFormat bumps head~n
 To be compatible with the way Commodore drives format disks,
 the turbo disk formatter bumps the head so that it's  always
 the outermost track that is called "Track 1"  on  the  newly
 formatted disk. If you're sure your drive is not  misaligned
 and you want to get rid of the head bump then  uncheck  this
 option.

 ~b~aNumber of retries~n
 By default, errors on  disks  in  the  Commodore  drive  are
 retried five times. However, if you have old disks with many
 errors, you may want to raise this value. Enter zero to keep
 the default value of the drive.

 ~b[x] ~aRetry on halftracks~n
 When this option is checked, the Commodore drive retries bad
 sectors on the adjacent halftracks, as well. ~bNote:~n This  has
 no effect on 1581 drives.

 ~b[x] ~aRetry bumps head~n
 When this option is checked, the Commodore drive  bumps  the
 head between sequences of retrying bad sectors.  Uncheck  it
 if your drive is surely well-aligned and you want to  reduce
 the wear on the mechanism.

 ~b~aDrive interleaves~n
 The first two options determine the  soft  interleaves  used
 for Commodore drives. Note that these  options  only  affect
 the way files are saved onto disks. ~bNote:~n The interleave for
 GEOS files is currently unused because the  Commander  can't
 save GEOS files onto Commodore drives.

 The other eighteen options determine in which order  sectors
 are received and sent from and  to  Commodore  drives.  They
 affect disk copy in all transfer modes and warp  file  copy.
 In all columns, the left option is the read interleave (from
 Commodore drive to PC)  and  the  right  one  is  the  write
 interleave (from PC to Commodore drive).

 You can speed up the disk and  file  copy  by  lowering  the
 value that corresponds to the transfer  mode  and  direction
 you are using. The label for the  appropriate  two  options,
 the current transfer mode, is highlighted. If  the  disk  or
 file copy is very slow on  your  machine  then  raising  the
 corresponding interleave may help. ~bNote:~n Warp disk and  file
 copy, from Commodore drive to PC, reads sectors in the order
 they  appear  under  the  head,  so  these  interleaves  are
 currently unused and set to zero.

 Optimal values for fast 486's, Pentiums and  above  are  the
 following. For slower machines, you may have to raise one or
 more of the interleaves.

~p~bSet palette~n
 This dialog box allow you to customize the  colors  used  by
 the Commander. If your video card is in color mode, you  can
 edit the ~uBlack & White~n, ~uColor~n and ~uLaptop~n palettes.  When  in
 monochrome mode, you can only edit the ~uMonochrome~n palette.

 Choose the color you want to change with the ~ucursor~n keys and
 press ~uEnter~n or double-click on that item. A sample Commander
 screen appears. You can  change  the  color  by  moving  the
 cursor through the palette on the right, while watching  the
 changes on the left. Press ~uEnter~n or double-click to  confirm
 the new color, or press ~uEsc~n to leave without saving it.

   ~bNote:~n  You can load and save  the  palettes  and  set  the
          colors to their default values, as well.
~p~bSet default configuration~n
 This dialog box allows you to restore the  settings  of  the
 Commander to their default values.
~p~bCountry info~n
 This dialog box allows you to view your current settings for
 country-specific information. This includes  date  and  time
 format, as well as the format of numbers  and  the  national
 character collate table. The Commander will show  the  name,
 date, time and size of files according to this information.

 To change your country settings, insert the correct ~ucountry=~n
 statement into your ~uconfig.sys~n file. For example:

            country=001,437,c:\dos\country.sys
~p~bExit~n
 This item exits the menu of configuration screens and, after
 a confirmation box, saves and applies all changes  you  made
 in the settings of the Commander.

   ~bNote:~n  Inside the Commander, press ~uEsc~n to  exit  the  menu
          and apply all changes at once.
~p~bDrive setup...~n                                   ~uControl + F10~n
 You can maintain the settings of your  Commodore  drives  in
 this menu so that you can switch among them with only a  few
 keystrokes.

 If the list is not empty, there is always a "current drive":
 the drive whose settings  are  currently  being  used.  This
 drive is highlighted in the list when the menu pops up.  You
 can switch to another drive by by double-clicking  with  the
 mouse, moving the cursor to the drive and pressing ~uEnter~n, or
 pressing the hot key to the left of the name of  the  drive.
 This will also apply all the changes you've made. To  accept
 all changes but leave the current drive as it is,  use  ~uEsc~n.
 To have a confirmation box popped up, press ~uF10~n.

 When you switch to another drive or change the  settings  of
 the current drive, the global settings will also reflect the
 changes: the local settings of the current drive are  copied
 into them. Also, if you change the  drive  settings  in  the
 configuration screens called from the main setup  menu,  the
 changes will be  copied  into  the  local  settings  of  the
 current drive.

 The local settings of all drives defined here are saved into
 a separate file,  called  ~uscdrive.ini~n,  in  the  Commander's
 directory. This file is loaded and saved along with the main
 setup file.

 The following commands are available in the menu:

 ~uNew~n     Create a new drive. The first drive always  inherits
         the global settings and becomes the  current  drive.
         For subsequent drives, you can  decide  whether  the
         new drive should inherit the global settings or  get
         the default settings of the specified drive type.

 ~uXfer~n    Pop up the ~uTransfer options~n  screen  for  the  drive
         under the cursor.

 ~uDrive~n   Pop up the ~uDrive options~n screen for the drive  under
         the cursor.

 ~uDupe~n    Duplicate the drive under the cursor into  the  next
         slot.

 ~uRename~n  Change the name of the drive under the cursor.

 ~uSwap~n    Swap the drive under the cursor  with  that  in  the
         next slot.

 ~uDelete~n  Delete the drive under the cursor. If you delete the
         current drive, the first  drive  in  the  list  will
         become current.

 ~uReset~n   Reset the settings of the drive under the cursor.

   ~bNotes:~n
       For the supported drives and their capabilities,  see
        ~uCommodore drives~n.

       Even if you can define several drives in  this  menu,
        you can't use more than  one  Commodore  drive  at  a
        time.  To  start  using  another  drive,  switch  the
        previously used one off, switch the new  one  on  and
        select the entry of the new one from this menu.
~p~bExtension file edit...~n
 This command is used to maintain the extension  file  called
 ~usc.ext~n, which  is  stored  in  the  same  directory  as  the
 Commander and associates different commands  with  different
 file name patterns. This allows you to point-and-shoot (move
 the cursor to a file and press ~uEnter~n, or double-click) on  a
 file to load that file into the application that created it.

 Lines in the extension file consist of the file name pattern
 and the commands to run on files with such names.  If  there
 is no dot in the file name pattern then it's assumed to be a
 file extension:

          File name pattern
                       Insert file name and extension
                      
      doc*.*: word /c !.!
              @ cls
              
                Commands

 and

        Extension
                    Insert file name and extension
                   
      doc: word /c !.!
           @ cls
           
             Commands

 tell the Commander to run  Microsoft  Word  when  you  press
 ~uEnter~n on a file that begins with doc  (such  as  "doc1.txt")
 or ends in .doc (such as "somename.doc"), and then to  clear
 the screen.

 You can specify the same commands for  a  sequence  of  file
 name patterns by listing the patterns in subsequent lines or
 by separating them with commas or semi-colons:

      doc*.*:
      doc: word /c !.!
           @cls

 and

      doc*.*;doc: word /c !.!
                  @cls

 both tell the Commander to execute the same commands for the
 file name pattern "doc*.*" and the extension ".doc".

 You can associate multiple command  sequences  to  the  same
 file name pattern:

      doc: word /c !.!
      doc: @echo This is a document!!

 and the Commander will present you a menu to  allow  you  to
 choose which sequence to execute.

 Comment lines must contain the ' symbol in the first column.

 You can type the @ symbol before any DOS command  to  cancel
 the output of the prompt and the command line.

 Here are all the ! arguments that you can  use  in  commands
 for the active panel. Note that symbols containing  a  tilde
 character are equivalent with the ones without a tilde,  but
 they use long file names instead of short ones:

   ~bArgument~n     ~bWhat~n                            ~bExample~n
           
   !:           Drive letter                    A:
   !\   !~~\     Path with backslash             \PATH\
   !/   !~~/     Path without backslash          \PATH
   !.!  !~~.!    File name with the extension    filename.ext
   !    !~~      File name without extension     filename
   !`   !~~`     File extension without dot      ext
   !@   !~~@     List of selected files          C:\SC\sc.lst
   !!           Insert the "!" character        !

 The % arguments are used for the inactive panel:

   ~bArgument~n     ~bWhat~n                            ~bExample~n
           
   %:           Drive letter                    A:
   %\   %~~\     Path with backslash             \PATH\
   %/   %~~/     Path without backslash          \PATH
   %.%  %~~.%    File name with the extension    filename.ext
   %    %~~      File name without extension     filename
   %`   %~~`     File extension without dot      ext
   %@   %~~@     List of selected files          C:\SC\sc2.lst
   %%           Insert the "%" character        %

 The ~uTEMP~n environment variable sets the path where  the  list
 files SC.LST and SC2.LST are created. If the  ~uTEMP~n  variable
 is not set, the list files are created in the directory from
 which the Commander was started.

   ~bNotes:~n
       You  can  use  ":"  to  match  any  file  without  an
        extension.

       You can use DOS wildcard characters. So, for example,
        "*:" will match any extension.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uPrefer long names~n:  check  to  have  the  meaning  of
        symbols with and without a tilde  toggled;  the  ones
        without tilde will be for long file names, while  the
        ones with tilde for short ones.
~p~bViewers...~n
 This command is used to maintain the viewer  extension  file
 called ~uscview.ext~n, which associates different  viewers  with
 different file name patterns.

 Lines in the extension file consist of the file name pattern
 and the commands to view  files  with  such  names  (usually
 these commands are viewers):

         File name pattern
                     Insert file name and extension
                    
      *.dbf: dbview !.!
             @ cls
             
              Commands

 tells the Commander to run Data Base viewer when  you  press
 ~uF3~n on a file that ends in .dbf (such as "somename.dbf"), and
 then to clear the screen.

 You can specify the same commands for  a  sequence  of  file
 name patterns by listing the patterns in subsequent lines or
 by separating them with commas or semi-colons:

      dbf*.*:
      dbf: dbview !.!
           @cls

 and

      dbf*.*;dbf: dbview !.!
                  @cls

 both tell the Commander to execute the same commands for the
 file name pattern "dbf*.*" and the extension ".dbf".

 You can associate multiple command  sequences  to  the  same
 file name pattern:

      dbf: dbfview !.!
      dbf: echo This is a DBase data file!!

 and the Commander will present you a menu to  allow  you  to
 choose which sequence to execute.

 Comment lines must contain the ' symbol in the first column.

 You can type the @ symbol before any DOS command  to  cancel
 the output of the prompt and the command line.

~p~bEditors...~n
 This command is used to maintain the editor  extension  file
 called ~uscedit.ext~n, which associates different  editors  with

        enclose it into quotation marks.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uPrefer long names~n:  check  to  have  the  meaning  of
        symbols with and without a tilde  toggled;  the  ones
        without tilde will be for long file names, while  the
        ones with tilde for short ones.
~p~bAuto menus~n
 When  this  option  is  checked,  the  user   menus   appear
 automatically when the  Commander  first  starts.  The  user
 menus will also reappear automatically after you run a  user
 menu command.
~p~bPath prompt~n
 This option controls whether the DOS command line shows just
 the drive letter, or the drive letter plus the current path.
 When checked, the DOS prompt will show the current path:

          ~uP~nath prompt          C:\PROGS\SC>_

           ~uP~nath prompt          C>_
~p~bKey bar~n                                            ~uControl + B~n
 This option controls whether or not the function key bar  at
 the bottom of the screen is visible:

        ~uK~ney bar          1~rHelp  ~n 2~rMenu  ~n 3~rView  ~n ...

         ~uK~ney bar     

   ~bNote:~n  With both the key bar and the  panels  turned  off,
          the Commander looks remarkably like DOS.
~p~bFull screen~n
 This option controls the size of the ~uLeft~n and ~uRight~n  panels.
 When checked, the panels will be  the  height  of  the  full
 screen:

          ~uF~null screen                 ~uF~null screen

         C:\ ͻ               C:\ ͻ
                                                
                                                
                                   Ķ
                                   ͼ
                     
        Ķ
        ͼ
        C>_                          C>_
~p~bMini status~n
 This option controls whether or not a  mini  status  box  is
 visible at the bottom of both panels. The dialog box  starts
 with the settings for the current panel, and on accepting it
 the mini status of both panels will be  affected.  The  mini
 status box shows the full directory information for the file
 under the cursor, and optionally the label and size of  free
 capacity of the image file, archive file or disk.

   ~bNote:~n  You can control the mini status of each panel  with
          the ~uMini status~n item in the ~uLeft~n and ~uRight~n menus.
~p~bClock~n
 This option, when checked, turns on a  clock  in  the  upper
 right corner  of  the  Commander's  screen  that  shows  the
 current time.

   ~bNote:~n  This clock will show the correct time only if DOS's
          time is correct.
~p~bSave setup~n                                          ~uShift + F9~n
 This option saves the current settings so the Commander will
 come back with the same settings the  next  time  you  start
 your computer. The current settings are stored in  the  same
 directory as the Commander, in a file called ~usc.ini~n.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uAuto save setup~n: check to save settings automatically
        whenever they are modified.
~p~bSC Environment variable~n
 Using the Commander with  a  RAM  disk  presents  a  special
 problem: if you save the setup, or if you  change  the  menu
 files or the extension files, these changes will be made  to
 the files on the RAM disk.  Which  means  you'll  lose  your
 changes as soon as you reboot or turn off your computer.

 The Commander provides a solution to this problem.  You  can
 put a line  into  your  ~uautoexec.bat~n  file  that  tells  the
 Commander where to find these files, as well as other  files
 it needs that you haven't copied to the RAM  disk.  Put  the
 following line into your ~uautoexec.bat~n file:

               set sc=c:\progs\sc
                      
                           
            The path on your hard disk where
            the Commander's files are stored.
~p~bDifferences from other Commanders~n
 Here is a brief list of the features in which the  Commander
 differs from ~bThe Norton Commander~n and  ~bThe Volkov Commander~n,
 both Version 4.0:

       You can't have more than 512 file entries per panel.

       You can't change the panels to Tree  panels  and  you
        can't view text files or database files in Quick view
        panels. Furthermore, no directory  tree  function  is
        implemented.

       The Commander can't show the contents  of  compressed
        PC archives, except for LHA and ZIP archives.

       You can't change the panel sort  criteria  using  the
        hotkeys ~uControl + F3~n to ~uControl + F7~n.

       There's no ~uFind Files~n and ~uCompare directories~n command
        in the Commander.

 The following features of  ~bThe Volkov Commander~n, Version 4.0
 are implemented in the Commander:

       You can create  and  maintain  your  own  viewer  and
        editor  extension  files,  which  associate  external
        viewers and editors with different file extensions.

       Using ~uControl + F5~n, ~uControl + F6~n and ~uControl + F8~n you
        can copy, rename, move and delete a  single  file  or
        directory even if  some  files  or  directories  were
        marked.

       Pressing ~uEsc~n toggles  the  panels  on/off,  when  the
        command line is empty. You can also tap ~uAlt~n to pop up
        the menu bar.

       You can press ~uControl + [~n and ~uControl + ]~n  to  insert
        the paths of the panels into the command line.

       The ~uIns~n key also repeats, helping you with  selecting
        a large amount of files manually.

       You can also change the date stamp of DOS files  with
        the ~uFile attributes~n command.

       Source files can  be  appended  to  already  existing
        DOS files.

 Some features of the upcoming ~bThe Volkov Commander~n, Version
 5.0 are also implemented:

       Windows-style long file names are supported.

       You can use not only the ! arguments in the menu  and
        extension files for the active panel, but also the  %
        arguments for the  inactive  panel.  There  are  some
        additional symbols for long file names, too.

       ~u^[~n, ~u^]~n and ~u^Enter~n are  working  in  file  name  input
        lines, too. You can hold down  ~uShift~n  while  pressing
        these hotkeys to insert the long form  of  paths  and
        file names.

       You can use  ~uShift~n  along  with  ~uGray +~n,  ~uGray -~n  and
        ~uGray *~n  to  include  directories  in  the  selection,
        unselection or inversion. You can hold  down  ~uControl~n
        to select or unselect all files in a panel without  a
        dialog box appearing (again, you can hold down  ~uShift~n
        to include directories).

       When copying files from a CD/DVD-ROM,  the  read-only
        flag is cleared automatically.

       You can sort files in reverse order.
~p~bCommodore drives~n
 The known drive types and the  transfer  modes,  cables  and
 execution modes, you can use with them, are the following:

 ~u1541~n            The complete spectrum  of  cables,  transfer
                 modes and command execution modes.

 ~u1570~n            All cables, all transfer  modes  and  normal
                 command execution. Forces single-sided  disk
                 mode.

 ~u1571~n            All cables, all transfer  modes  and  normal
                 command execution. Autodetects the number of
                 sides on disks.

 ~u1581~n            Serial cables, normal and turbo transfer and
                 normal command execution. ~bNote:~n Not all disk
                 turbos are implemented for this  drive  type
                 yet.

 ~u157x->1541~n      The complete  spectrum  of  transfer  modes,
                 cables and  command  execution  modes.  This
                 drive type causes 1570 and  1571  drives  to
                 fall back to 1541 emulation mode. Note  that
                 if you want to use the  hybrid  or  parallel
                 transfer mode then you have to  connect  the
                 drives with the 1571 version of  the  hybrid
                 or parallel cables rather than  the  version
                 for 1541 drives.
~p~bImage files and archive files~n
 The emulators use several image formats to emulate the usual
 Commodore peripherals. The Commander supports the  following
 disk-based image formats:

 ~b1541 disk images:~n (C64S, CCS64, PC64 and VICE)
 Such files have the extension ".d64", and contain  the  data
 found on a normal 35- or 40-track 1541  disk,  sequentially.
 Optionally, an error info block can be attached at the  end,
 which holds read status codes,  one  byte  per  sector.  The
 Commander handles such files in the same manner as the  1541
 drive uses its disks (butterfly  writing  with  soft  sector
 interleave), which speeds up reading their contents  in  the
 emulator, as  well. GEOS-compatible  disk  images  and  GEOS
 VLIR files in disk images are also supported.

 ~b1571 disk images:~n (VICE)
 Such files have the extension ".d71", and contain  the  data
 found on a 1571 disk. What is written above about 1541  disk
 images, applies to these, as well.

 ~b1581 disk images:~n (VICE)
 Such files have the extension ".d81", and contain  the  data
 found on a 1581 disk. What is written above about 1541  disk
 images, applies to these, as well.

 ~bGCR-coded disk images:~n (CCS64 and VICE)
 Such files have the extension ".g64", and  contain  the  raw
 data found on a 1541 disk. This includes GCR-encoded  sector
 data, sector headers, sector gaps and  density  information,
 making this format the ultimate solution for duplicating all
 kinds of copy protected disks. ~bNote:~n Support for this format
 is not implemented yet.

 Disk-based archive formats, supported by the Commander,  are
 the following:

 ~bDiskpacked ZipCode archives:~n
 Such files have the name pattern "?!*.*", where  "?"  stands
 for the numbers "1" to "4". Each archive  file  stores  RLE-
 compressed sector data. This format  is  for  35-track  1541
 disks only and does  not  hold  any  error  information.  An
 extension is when a fifth archive, which contains  data  for
 tracks 36 to 40, is also present.

 ~bSixpacked ZipCode archives:~n
 Such files have the name pattern "?!!*.*", where "?"  stands
 for the numbers "1" to "6". Each archive  file  stores  GCR-
 encoded track data, along with sector headers.  This  format
 is for 40- track  1541  disks  only.  Error  information  is
 an inherent part of the encoded data.

 The following file-based image formats are supported:

 ~bTape images:~n (C64S, CCS64 and VICE)
 Such files have the extension ".t64", and contain a  header,
 a directory which can hold maximally 1 to  99  entries,  and
 then binary files with their  start  address  stripped  off.
 Although the  Commander  allows  you  to  write  non-program
 files into tape images, these files will also be handled  as
 programs by both the Commander and the emulator.

 ~bFile images:~n (CCS64, PC64 and VICE)
 Such files have the  extension  ".p##",  ".s##"  or  ".u##",
 where the first character resembles the type of  the  binary
 file inside, and the two other characters are digits for the
 discrimination of file images with the same name.  The  file
 contains a signature, the name of the original file and then
 the binary file itself.

 Additionally, there exists a number of archive formats  used
 to store multiple files in one package.  The  following  are
 supported by the Commander:

 ~bLynx archives:~n
 Such files have the extension ".lnx". They are runnable  and
 they display a message warning the  user  to  extract  their
 contents first. After the small BASIC  program  doing  this,
 there is a directory of the files inside and then  the files
 themselves, all aligned to a sector  boundary,  i.e.  to  an
 offset of a multiple of 254. Lynx archives  are  in  no  way
 compressed.

 ~bFilepacked ZipCode archives:~n
 Such files have the name pattern "?!*.*", where  "?"  stands
 for the letters "a" to "e" and "x". The  last  archive  file
 consists of the directory of the archived files and a  small
 program printing that. The other archive files  contain  the
 binary files, each storing a maximum of 166 original blocks.
 Filepacked ZipCode archives are compressed with a simple RLE
 algorithm.

 ~bLHA archives:~n
 Such files have the extension ".lzh" or ".lha". They contain
 a chain of multiple blocks, consisting of  a  header  and  a
 file compressed with LZW compression bundled with a  dynamic
 Huffman algorithm. Archives created  on  Commodore  machines
 only use the old LH1 method with a small string lookup table
 due to memory constraints. Files with the  extension  ".sfx"
 are self-extracting LHA archives, you can handle them  after
 changing their extension to a standard one.

 ~bArkive archives:~n
 Such files have the  extension  ".ark".  Similarly  to  Lynx
 archives, they have a directory and the binary files are all
 aligned to a sector boundary. However,  there  is  no  BASIC
 program in front of the directory and the  archive  contains
 the full last sector of the last file, too. Arkive  archives
 are not compressed either.

 ~bTAR archives:~n
 Such files have the extension ".tar" and are mainly used  in
 Unix-style operating systems. They are made up by a chain of
 multiple blocks, consisting of a header and an  uncompressed
 file. Using TAR archives, you can upload files to your  Unix
 account without losing long file names,  thus  circumventing
 the file name limitations of DOS.

 ~bZIP archives:~n
 Such files have the extension ".zip". Unlike other archives,
 ZIP archives not only contain a chain  of  multiple  blocks,
 consisting of a header and compressed file data,  they  also
 have a so-called central directory, repeating file  headers,
 at the end of the archive.

 ~bConvert files:~n
 A special file format is the one used by Convert that allows
 the transfer of GEOS files, both sequential and  VLIR.  Such
 archives usually have the extension ".cvt". They start  with
 a header containing  the  original  directory  entry  and  a
 signature, then comes the info block, the VLIR  link  block,
 and finally the records of the original  file  concatenated.
 Each part of the file is aligned to a sector boundary.

   ~bNotes:~n
       To display the contents of an image file  or  archive
        file press ~uEnter~n or double-click on the file.

       You can edit the error info of  disk  images  in  the
        disk editor.

       GCR-coded disk images,  diskpacked  ZipCode  archives
        and sixpacked ZipCode archives are  opened  for  read
        only. You can view their directory, copy files out of
        them, convert them to other disk-based  file  formats
        but you can't modify them.

       The Commander requires that the LHA archiver for  DOS
        be in your DOS path, in order to handle LHA archives.
        Make sure that you have LHA 2.14 or newer,  otherwise
        extracted files will get corrupted.

       To let the Commander handle ZIP archives,  Info-ZIP's
        zip 2.20 and unzip 5.40 or newer should  be  in  your
        DOS path. Note that PKZIP will not work. ZIP archives
        with multiple volumes are not supported.

       Disk images encrypted by C64S 1.0 are not supported.

       TAR archives with multiple volumes, linked files  and
        sparsed files are not supported.

       Because input and output files are generally  handled
        as sequential streams,  no  format-specific  features
        are taken into account. The following  data  is  lost
        or filled with zeros when files  are  copied  between
        archives and disk images: the extended attributes  in
        Arkive archives; the unused space of the  last  block
        of files  in  Lynx,  filepacked  ZipCode  and  Arkive
        archives; the unused space of the last block of  VLIR
        records in Convert files.
~p~bDisk errors~n
 When encountering  read  or  write  problems  on  the  disk,
 Commodore drives return various status codes  and  messages.
 The following list explains the reasons for  different  disk
 errors. The highlighted  text  is  the  error  message;  the
 status code, a hexadecimal digit, is in parentheses.

 These errors apply to Commodore 1541, 1570 and  1571  drives
 but not 1581 drives or the MFM mode of 1570 and 1571 drives.

 ~b00,OK~n (1)
 This is not an actual  error  message.  It  means  that  the
 sector is completely error-free. The disk editor marks  such
 sectors with "" rather than a number.

 ~b20,READ ERROR~n (2)
 The sector header could not be found. The data  may  or  may
 not be there; if the disk copier can find it, the data  will
 be copied. The disk copier also generates this error when it
 can't find a sector in a diskpacked ZipCode archive.

 ~b21,READ ERROR~n (3)
 There are no SYNC marks on the current track.  The  complete
 track is empty because there are no sectors on it. When  the
 disk copier detects this error, it copies an empty track  to
 the destination disk.

 ~b22,READ ERROR~n (4)
 The signature byte of the data block has  the  wrong  value.
 The data is still there and the disk copier will copy it.

 ~b23,READ ERROR~n (5)
 The checksum stored inside the data  block  does  not  match
 the computed checksum. The data is still there and the  disk
 copier will copy it.

 ~b24,READ ERROR~n (6)
 This is a very interesting error. In early Commodore drives,
 data was converted between its GCR-encoded and  normal  form
 by hardware. If an invalid GCR-code was present in  the  raw
 data, the GCR-decoder hardware returned this error. In 1541,
 1570 and 1571 drives, raw data is decoded by software, which
 does not generate this error anymore. In the Commander,  the
 ~uInvalid GCR error~n option lets  you  select  whether  invalid
 GCR-codes should be marked with  this  error,  the  previous
 one, or not marked at all.

 ~b25,WRITE ERROR~n (7)
 The data, read back from the previously written sector, does
 not match the data written.

 ~b26,WRITE PROTECT ON~n (8)
 The write-protect tab does not  allow  the  drive  to  write
 onto the disk.

 ~b27,READ ERROR~n (9)
 The checksum stored inside the sector header does not  match
 the computed checksum. The data is still there and the  disk
 copier will copy it.

 ~b28,WRITE ERROR~n (A)
 The reason for this error is unknown.  Although  defined  in
 the operating system of  1541,  1570  and  1571  drives,  it
 actually never occurs.

 ~b29,DISK ID MISMATCH~n (B)
 The ID in the sector header does not match the sector header
 ID of the BAM sector. The data is still there and  the  disk
 copier will copy it.

 ~b74,DISK NOT READY~n (F)
 There is no disk in the drive.

   ~bNotes:~n
       The disk copier can't read/write raw data  (GCR-coded
        data, sector headers, damaged  sector  data)  from/to
        Commodore disks unless you  switch  ~uTransfer mode~n  to
        ~uWarp~n.

       The error info editor of the disk editor displays the
        status codes above for each sector. If  you  want  to
        put an error onto a sector, enter  the  corresponding
        status code.
~p~bCharacter set and file name conversion~n
 The Commander can be run with the C64 character set, if  you
 have an EGA/VGA video card. However, if you don't  use  this
 feature then, due to the differences between the PETSCII and
 standard ASCII character set, the Commander will convert all
 Commodore file names before it displays them on  the  screen
 and will convert them back after your input.  The  Commander
 also takes the 8.3 format of DOS file names into account:

       The Commander displays all  PETSCII  characters  with
        their equivalents or similar characters in the  ASCII
        character set, code page 437; ~uShift-space~n is  changed
        to "_". When you copy files from a CBM panel to a DOS
        panel, the Commodore file name  is  converted  (~uSpace~n
        is replaced with "_"), truncated at 8 characters, and
        the appropriate extension is added, depending on  the
        file type.

       You have to enter Commodore file names like on a  C64
        in  the  lowercase/uppercase  character  set.   ASCII
        characters that can't be displayed  on  the  C64  are
        replaced with the ~uSpace~n character, "_" is changed  to
        ~uShift-space~n. When you copy files from a DOS panel  to
        a CBM panel, the DOS file name is converted  ("_"  is
        replaced with ~uSpace~n), and the appropriate  file  type
        is added, depending on the file extension. To specify
        the file type enter a comma and the  first  character
        of the file tpye after the file  name  (for  example,
        type "filename,s" for a sequential  file);  otherwise
        the file is assumed to be a program file.

   ~bNotes:~n
       In most input lines, that accept Commodore file names
        or other text, you can enter "%xy" to insert  unusual
        characters,  "xy"  being  their  hexadecimal  PETSCII
        code.

       Because GEOS uses ASCII, file names on GEOS disks and
        in GEOS disk images are left  unconverted  and,  when
        you rename a file, your input  is  not  converted  to
        PETSCII either. Also, if you copy DOS files or  files
        in LHA, TAR or ZIP archives from or  into  GEOS  disk
        images then file  names  are  not  converted  between
        ASCII and PETSCII.

   ~bRelated options:~n
       ~uConvert chars~n: set  to  convert  PETSCII  characters,
        that have no exact ASCII equivalent,  to  hexadecimal
        codes and vice versa, while copying files between DOS
        and CBM panels.
       ~uGEOS support~n: check to display GEOS  disks  and  disk
        images correctly.
       ~uLong file names~n: check to display Windows-style  long
        file names in panels.
~p~bMemory allocation~n
 There are two ways you can use the Commander:

       If you start ~uSC~n,  the  Commander  deallocates  memory
        before the execution  of  softwares  and  then  loads
        itself back. It leaves  only  a  ~usmall~n  part  of  the
        software in the memory. This is useful, when you need
        a big amount of conventional memory.

       If you start  ~uSCMAIN~n,  the  Commander  will  work  in
        ~ufull resident~n mode,  so  you  can  execute  softwares
        without the reloading of the Commander. This mode  is
        only recommended, if you're using the Commander on  a
        very slow machine.
