  I've heard rumors of cataloging schemes, but I've never used
one myself.  I wrote a word called "summary" that I use to get
a snapshot of what I've got on a given diskette.

  I organize chunks of Forth code on 5-screen boundaries and have
about 100 screens on a diskette (yep, single sided, single density).
Printing out the first line of every fifth screen yields 20 lines
of text, which fits perfectly on my CRT screen.  So, "summary"
prints out the header line of every fifth screen on a diskette.

  Elegant? Well, no.  If I wanted elegance I wouldn't be using a one-lung
Z80 with one obsolete diskette drive.

Rick.
