-
- Copyright (c) Keith Baines, March 1993 - August 1995
- _________________________________________________________________
-
- There are many changes for version 2. Highlights are:
- * Much faster file copying.
- * New full and incremental backup option.
- * New file viewing mode.
- * Uses file modified/archive status and file dates:
- - modified files shown with a distinctive icon;
- - new sort-by-date option;
- - file copying options dialogue.
- * Save up to 20 Psion paths for quick recall with function keys.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
- There are two files in this distribution of S3-ST:
-
- S3-ST200.DOC .................... This file.
-
- S3-ST200.PRG .................... A self-extracting archive
- program containing all the
- other S3-ST files.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
- The S3-ST program, its support programs and text and data files
- are copyrighted. You may use S3-ST free of charge on condition
- that your use is at your own risk. You may give away copies of
- S3-ST provided that you include both S3-ST200.DOC & S3-ST200.PRG
- and that you do not alter them in any way.
-
- S3-ST may not be sold either alone or as part of a larger
- package. Clubs and software libraries may include S3-ST in
- their catalogues and may make a small charge (not more than four
- pounds sterling) to cover distribution and administration costs.
-
- S3-ST may not be included in any commercial product or on any
- magazine cover disk except by prior agreement with, and written
- permission from, the author.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
- Please register S3-ST if you use it regularly. This is entirely
- optional and free - the only cost to you will be the postage.
- The advantage is that I get your feedback on how you want to see
- the program enhanced, and if you send a reply-paid envelope (or
- international reply coupons from outside the UK) I will let you
- know when a new version is available.
-
- Please also send any bug reports. If you don't report it, it
- won't get fixed. If you do report it, it might get fixed some
- time! Obviously, I can't promise the same level of support as
- you should expect for a commercial or shareware program, but
- I do use the program regularly myself, and so I prefer it to
- work properly.

- Running S3-ST200.PRG
- ====================
-
- Check that your master disk is write-protected (tab open).
-
- S3-ST can be installed on a double-sided floppy disk or on a
- hard disk partition. It requires approximately 450 Kbytes of
- disk space. Installation on a floppy disk is probably best;
- many of the files will only be needed once; you can copy the
- main program files onto a hard disk later if you wish.
-
- Double-click on S3-ST200.PRG on the master disk. The program
- will display a GEM dialogue. Type in the letter of the drive on
- which S3-ST should be installed. (On single drive systems, you
- can change disks at this point.) Then click on "OK" or press the
- Return key. The program will display names of files as they are
- created.

- Print the manual by running MANUAL\MANUAL.PRG. This will print in
- either single or double-sided format, and adds page numbers. The
- manual is in three parts and the program lets you choose which to
- print. As a minimum, you should read the Introduction, README.TXT.
- You can also print or view the manual files from the GEM desktop.
