1. Introduction
---------------

1.1  Copyright and Disclaimer
-----------------------------
All files in the FASTD package are copyrighted(c) by Arnold Moy
unless otherwise noted.

The software contained in this package is provided as free of charge
and therefore contains no warranty of any kind.  Should the Software 
prove defective, you and not the author assume the entire cost of any 
service and repair.  This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an 
essential part of the agreement. 


1.2 The FASTD Library
----------------------
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.


2. Installing and Removing the FASTD Library
---------------------------------------------
The FASTD library requires at least 2k to install and an auxilliary
library called the Universal Font Library (UFL) must be present.

2.1 Installing
--------------
a) send the library to the HP48
b) put a copy of the library on the stack
c) enter the port number to store the library (0-33 GX, 0-2 SX)
d) at this point, press [STO]
e) preform a warmstart with [ON][C] or turn on and off the HP48
f) erase the variable containing the library.   eg. 'FASTD.LIB' PURGE
g) read the next section for the Universal Font Library (UFL)
   requirements

2.2 Universal Font Library (UFL)
--------------------------------
The FASTD library requires the UFL to be present.  Read the UFL
documentation from the UFL package for more information (see section
6).  I have included two libraries from the UFL package that contains
the necessary font. Either will work, ufl1.lib will conserve some space,
if you are not using other applications that require FNT2 (ie. Java).


If you have not installed one of the UFL libraries, install it now:

a) send the library(ufl1.lib or ufl3.lib) to the HP48
b) put a copy of the library on the stack
c) enter the port number to store the library (0-33 GX, 0-2 SX)
d) at this point, press [STO]
e) preform a warmstart with [ON][C] or turn on and off the HP48
f) erase the variable containing the library.   
g) The FASTD library is ready for use.

2.3 Removing the Library
-------------------------
a) :0: 1037 DETACH
b) :0: 1037 PURGE



3. Usage
--------
