Define directory

A division on a disk which has a name and generally contains a number of files that which belongs together. Directories are placed hierarchically in tree form (with branches and sub-branches) and can be presented in this form on a certain program level like that found in Corpus Presenter when you are selecting a file to load. In Windows the word ‘folder’ is time and again used for ‘directory’. There is a separate level for directory lists in the programs of the Corpus Presenter suite.
