WHEN THE PROGRAM ASKS F"OR INPUT, YOU MAY INPUT UP TO 72 CHARACTERS PER LINE. THE INPUT SHOULD CONSIST OF" NUMBERS OR CHARACTER STRINGS SEPARATED BY COMMAS. ANY INPUT WHICH CONF"ORMS TO ONE OF" THE STANDARD NUMERIC F"ORMATS IS CONSIDERED TO BE NUMERIC.

FILE LISTING PROGRAM/INSTRUCTIONS FIllS
36272 This program is a file lister. The program IlFILlS II contains the instruc-tions for the program IIFILlSIIi (which can be run directly).
Most of the needed instructions are contained in the program IIFILlSII.
The only other information needed is a description of Aardvark and Company Writing Team format for printing strings:
Control letters are printed with an apostrophe (I) over them:
A~~O~F~~IJ~t~NO~~~~T~'WXfZ
Lower case letters are printed with a period (.) over them:
ABCDE~G~IJ~lM~O~QaSTUVW~YZ
Characters with parity are darkened:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Except space which is printed, when it has parity, as:
D
When you request the format option:
At the beginning of each record, the word IIFORMAT: II is printed followed by the format of that record in the form:
$ For a string
# For a number EOR For end-of-record EOF For end-of-fi1e
If a string is printed which has spaces at the end, the length of that string will be printed if the format option is requested.
The length appears in this form:
• Length (Length of string in characters)
A null string (a string containing 0 characters) will be printed as:
II Null Stri ng
The fil e IIASCII II must be open in the 1 i brary and prepared by the program IIASCIItli •
The Aardvark and Company Writing Team has designed programs to take up an absolute minimum of computer storage and perform a maximum purpose. The team encourages people to send good programs to Aardvark. As a slight encouragement, the team will give anyone who sends a program which is accepted a free II su bscriptionli to the program handbook, and include the contributor as a member of the writing team.

EACH TIME PRINT AN * YOU MAY INPUT AN OPTION LIST AND A FILE NAME.
AN OPTION LIST IS ANY COMBINATION OF THE LETTERS LISIEIRIFI AND I FOLLOWED BY A COMMA. HERE IS WHAT THOSE LETTERS MEAN:
L INDICATES THAT THIS IS THE LAST FILE TO BE LISTED.
S CAUSES THE LISTING TO CONTINUE TO THE NEXT FILE AFTER THE FIRST EOF IS ENCOUNTERED IN THIS FILE.
E CAUSES THE PROGRAM TO SKIP RECORDS WHICH CONTAIN ONLY AN EOF MARK.
R CAUSES THE PROGRAM TO SKIP RECORDS WHICH CONTAIN ONLY AN EOR MARK.
F CAUSES THE FORMAT OF THE FILE TO BE PRINTED.
I ALLOWS YOU TO INPUT WHICH RECORDS ARE TO BE LISTED. THE PROGRAM WILL PRINT *** RECORD AND ALLOW YOU TO INPUT A NUMBER.
IT WILL LIST THAT RECORD 1 IF PRESENT 1 AND ASK FOR A RECORD NUMBER AGAIN. IF YOU ARE FINISHED LISTING RECORDS IN THAT FILEI
INPUT THE RECORD NUMBER AS O.
A FILE NAME CONSISTS OF THE NAME OF THE FILEI THEN (OPTIONALLY> A COMMA AND THE MASK TO BE USED.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE INPUT WHICH WOULD BE USED TO LIST THE FILE 'MYFILE' USING THE MASK 'MYMASK' AND HAVING THE FORMAT PRINTED:
HERE IS THE SAME EXAMPLEI EXCEPT WITH NO MASK:
IF IT PRINTS AN * AND YOU HAVE NO MORE FILES TO BE LISTEDI PUSH RETURN.
*FIASCII
