Q: Does CDIR work under Windows NT?
A: While CDIR has not been tested specifically under Windows NT, it is
   likely that it will work. Any input on this subject from users would be
   appreciated, and can be sent to johnweekes@hotmail.com.

Q: What programming language was CDIR written in?
A: CDIR was written entirely in assembly language, and was compiled with
   TASM 2.01.

Q: What does (such and such error message) mean?
A: "Error messages and their meanings" is a section in CDIR.TXT which was
   designed to answer just this question.  It describes each error message
   in moderate detail.

Q: Will CDIR work as a drop-in replacement for the old PC-Magazine utility
   DDIR?
A: Yes.  CDIR provides all the options DDIR has, and more.  A good way to
   become acquainted with the many new options is to view the help screens
   and experiment.

Q: What advantages does CDIR have over other "colored directory" utilities?
A: Unlike most of today's bloated programs, CDIR is highly efficient and can
   be run under a great variety of DOS machines.  It is faster and smaller
   than many of these other programs, and is also freeware; additionally, it
   has a large feature list and significant customization potential.  Couple
   these reasons with excellent and continuing support and CDIR becomes the
   obvious choice for directory listing utility.

Q: All of my executable files are scattered throughout the listing.  How do
   I group them together so I can see them at a glance?
A: Use the "/s5" option to sort by extension.  Now all your .EXE files will
   be grouped together, and, separately, your .COM files will also be
   grouped.  If you wish CDIR to always be set up this way, use the "/X"
   option to save your customizations as the defaults.  Your command to do
   this would read "CDIR /s5 /x".

Q: Why would I want to use the reverse search order feature?
A: If, for example, you didn't want to read through an extended directory
   listing to find a file beginning with the letter "Z".  Instead, you could
   use the "/R" switch and all the "Z" listings would come up first.

Q: Is CDIR case sensitive?
A: No.
