C.8.1.3. PAGE - Page Mode Display
This option is some kind of a "negative option'', what means that normal-
ly,
page mode display is selected by default.
Paging,
however, can be
very disturbing if,
for example, you want to see two directories at the
same time.
For this purpose,
a short version has been introduced, too.
You
select
it by specifying the option "-PAGE",
which
leads
to
the
following display format:
DIR -PAGE
TESTl
.OAT
2K
TEST2
.OAT
26K
2 file(s), 28 KBytes used, 344 KBytes remaining. System files exist.
Additionally, the true space occupied by the files is indicated.
C.B.l.4. TIME - Display Time Stamps
Until now, we have been discussing informations on the size of files. As
you will certainly know, EOS is capable to protocol the instants of file
accesses and file alterations (see also => $INITDIR).
To get access
to
these
informations,
there is a "+TIME" option.
Let's do a look at
an
example:
DIR +ALL +TIME
Device A:TEST
.DSK

08/01/83 19:41
4 file (s) , 34 KBytes used, 334 KBytes remaining.
There are three additional columns now. Two of them are time stamps. For
example,
the most recent alteration of the file "SYSFILEl.COM" was July
31st,
1983,
at 14:22,
and the last time it has been read was the same
day,
at 20:33.
The final column lists the attributes of each file. You
can
immediately see that the first two files are "SYSTEM" files,
which
would normally be excluded from a directory display.
Instead
of
the "Last access" column,
a "Created" column can
as
well
appear, according to the directory definition (refer to=> $INITDIR}. In
this case, you are informed on the instant of the file creation.
