***************************************************************************
      FASTD version 1.0 - fast directory listing utility for SX/GX
***************************************************************************
   The following utility rapidly lists the contents of the current
working directory.  Useful information such as variable name, variable
type, variable size, total variables in current directory and total
number of bytes used by the current directory are given in a tabular
format.  Long directory listings can be rapidly scrolled back and forth.
The speed of this application is accomplished through the use of
assembly language.

I.   INSTRUCTIONS
      1. Download FASTD to your hp48 using your favorite transfer method.
         If you use Kermit, make sure binary mode is set.  
         (Personally, I use PC-HP fast which is the best transfer program
          available IMHO.)
      2. Press FASTD.

II.  KEY DEFINITIONS
      Only three keys function when you are running FASTD.
       
        Up-Arrow   - scroll display down
        Down-Arrow - scroll display up
        [ON]       - exit FASTD

III. CREDITS
         I would like to thank John Call for teaching me the basics of
      Saturn assembly.  Without his help, I would not be writing
      programs like FASTD.  Valuable tips and information were obtained
      from IRC #hp48 from the following people: Mika Heiskanen (fin),
      Will Laughlin (sj), Richard Steventon (RichardS), and Dan Kirkland
      (krik).  Thanks to Mario Mikocevic (mozz) for letting me use his
      4x6 small font. The following have sacrificed their calculators for
      testing: Al Arduengo (exal), Alex Humffray (bunch), David Goggin
      Seth Arnold (Hideki), Andre Schoorl (mocha), and many others.
