I just looked that over......it seems pretty complicated. As an alternative,
you could open a DOS window and do a dir command and redirect it to a text
file which you could later print. Of course, due to the DOS filename limitation
any filenames over the 8.3 limit would be truncated with the ~1 However, if that's
not a problem, here's an example of how to redirect a dir command to a text
file:
dir /b > c:\dirlist.txt
This will show you the listing in "bare"
format (the /b switch - this shows filenames only) and redirects (the 'greater than'
symbol between the /b and 'dirlist.txt') it to a file called "dirlist.txt" on the
root of your C: drive. If you did this in a DOS window while running 98, you could
then exit the DOS window and open the file with notepad or wordpad and print it.

No. At the top of the article there's a small box listing all versions it relates
to. i.e. 95, 98, 2k & XP.

It is easy to print a directory list from the MSDOS prompt in Win95 or the Command
Promt in XP (the only ones I have worked with). Just click on the prompt and change
to the Dir you want to print - you can send to a text file as already indicated in
another reply or you can sent it directly to the printer by using the printer port
designation instead of a text file
i.e.
C:\> My Documents cd Articles
C:\>Articles dir>artdir.txt or optionally
C:\>Articles dir>lpt1 will send directly to printer
there are other ways without changing to the actual directory but I find that easier.
Maybe even a small batchfile could be used from the prompt I am not that
familiar with that sort of thing in Windows.

When you follow the link to download the utility, it stresses that this file is -only-
for Win95 (not 98, 2k or XP). Does it work with 98 anyway? The article says it's
for all versions, but the utility itself does not.
