I use Harvard Graphics v2.1 while running on a clone running
MS-DOS v3.3. What I am looking for is a way to edit Harvard's
HG.DIR file so that I can have descriptions of more of my
files. Harvard's file handling capabilities are not all that
good and it seems like you have to resave a file if you want to
change its description.
The HG.DIR file seems to be in ascii format. The whole file
seems to be on one line. In between each file name is what
appears to be a group of graphics characters (characters above
ascii 127).
Does anyone know the format of the file that they could send
me a description (enough of one that I could write a utility to
let me edit it)? Does anyone know of any utilities available
that do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Pete
