Epson Equity 386SX PLUS, User Manual

Page: 120 / 284

A directory listing includes the following information about
each file in the directory:
Name and extension
Size of the file in bytes
Date and time the file was created or last modified
(whichever is later).
The directory listing also shows any subdirectories in the
directory; they are identified by the letters <DIR>. At the top
of the listing, MS-DOS reports any name (Volume label) you
have given to the hard disk partition or diskette you are using,
the volume serial number (an identifying code assigned by the
MS-DOS FORMAT command), and the drive and name of
the directory you are viewing. At the bottom of the listing,
MS-DOS indicates the the total number of files (including
subdirectories) in the directory and the number of bytes on the
disk that are still available for use.
If the directory listing is too long to fit on one screen, add the /P
switch to the command, like this:
DIR /P
This switch causes MS-DOS to pause after displaying each
screenful of information. To see the next screenful, press any
key.
You can also use the /W switch to view a long directory listing:
DIR /W
4-24
