WASTE for Windows
by Joseph T. Glosz Jr (CompuServe 72633,1646)
Waste for Windows looks best on resolutions of 800x600
or better using Windows' "small fonts." At 640x480
you'll need to scroll to see the full display. And if
you are using "large fonts" then it may look strange.
I'm sorry for that, but I'm not exactly getting paid
for this program and I don't have the time to make it
work well at all resolutions and both font settings.
To install, unzip the zipped file to some temp
directory (or a floppy). Then, double-click on
SETUP.EXE (or select it from the Program Manager's
File|Run menu).
The Windows version runs under Windows 3.1 and Windows 95
because these share the same FAT-based file system.
Waste for Windows may not run under Win NT, but see online
help for more details.
There is nothing unusual in the setup for Waste for Windows.
It DOES NOT modify any of your system files. It doesn't
touch any of your INI files, or your AUTOEXEC.BAT, or
your CONFIG.SYS file. All the setup program does is copy
a few of files to the directory you specify to hold
WASTE, and a few to your \windows\system directory, if they
aren't already there.
Then a program manager group is created.
Specifically (and if you wish to do it manually):
This file is copied to:
--------------- ---------------------------
WASTEW.EXE directory you chose (main pgm file)
WASTE.HLP directory you chose (help file)
WASTE.DIZ directory you chose (blurb)
WASTEWIN.TXT directory you chose (this file)
WASTEDOS.ZIP directory you chose (DOS version)
CTL3D.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM (most already have this)
ZBASWFTE.* \WINDOWS\SYSTEM (True Type Font)
WINGDING.* \WINDOWS\SYSTEM (True Type Font)
Waste for Windows is shareware but the information it provides
could recover HUNDREDS of megabytes of space for you. This is
worth quite a bit of money, and I humbly request only $5. If
you find it as useful as have many others, please send $5 to

And if there is such a thing as karma, it will be returned to
you tenfold! In any case, enjoy this utility!
