(About the author)
 
     Have you ever had the need to print out an extremely lengthy directory? There's a way to do it through MS-DOS, but why not have a way to do it through Windows? The code segment below will list the details of a directory and save the results in to a text file. Try it on a legthy directory like the C:\Windows or C:\Winnt\ directory. You can view the text file and even print it (of course). Excellent tool when archiving files or if you just want to view what's on your hard drive. Hope you enjoy it.
