This program is for use on the 4040
drive or it's dual drive eqivalent. It
is public domain and was originally
wriiten for the PET by an unknown
person. Dual Log is Public Domain and
may not be sold. This program is
designed to keep track of what disks
contain a certain file,disk ID's in use
and the ability to "crunch" your disk
collection.

Please start by Headering a new disk
and then copy Dual Log to this disk
under any name you wish. This disk
should be dicated to Dual Log and not
have any other programs on it. Next
just insert the disk in drive 0 (that's
zero) and Load"DUAL LOG",8. For this
program to work properly all file names
should be in uppercase only and disks
with "funny" directories should be
avoided.

You will know see the first of two
menues. If you select (1) you should
insert the disk to be logged in drive 1
and follow the prompts. The index file
and master file will be written to
drive 0. If you select (3) you may step
through all the disks on file by
	 tering "*" at the Enter Disk Name
prompt. If you  select (4) and you are
looking for a program by the name of
"MR T'S SUPPORT" when you are prompted
for the file name to search for you
would enter: MR T'S SUPPORT* . This
rule applies whenever you search even
if you know the exact file name you
must add a "*" as the last character.

If you select (5) from the first menu
you will then see the second menu. If
you select (1) printing will start as
soon as you enter 1. Any key will halt
it and then any key wil	 resume it. If
you enter "Q" that will quit this mode.
This same group of rules applies to any
area of the program where you are
printing or have selected a screen
display in lieu of printing.

Here are some ideas you may wish to
use. I only log games that can be
transfered to a disk and the file names
are all visable and in UPPER CASE with
no graphic symbols. This program uses
"seq" files so searches can take some
time. Because of this I don't log all
my disks. Maybe just the 10 or 20 disk
that you normal	  use on a normal
basis. I found manny duplications so I
scratched a number of files. Manny
games and programs became obsolete in
this process. If this program is used
properly you should be able to locate
any file, avoid the use of the same ID
number on two different disks,print
your directories (sorted) and maxamize
disk space.
