INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS NAVIGATOR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I. WELCOME
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before embarking, we wish to welcome you to the Windows Navigator
("WinNAV"), and thank both our registered users and new users for
trying our Microsoft Windows application.
1.1. INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS NAVIGATOR
WinNAV is a Microsoft Windows application designed to allow users
to navigate and explore all of the files, directories and infor-
mation contained on their system drives and hard disks, and to
manage same with both Windows and standard DOS applications
without leaving the Windows environment.
It features many new and unusual features that can be customized
by each user to suit his or her own application programs and data
files; these features in some ways extend well beyond those of
Windows' Program Manager, File Manager and MS-DOS Executives, or
any other Windows application to date. WinNAV offers an intelli-
gent, customizable interface that allows users to optimize Micro-
soft Windows to fit their specific needs.
1.2. SOME OF ITS CAPABILITIES
While WinNAV does not take the "everything and the kitchen sink"
approach of similar DOS utilities such as Lotus Magellan,
PCTools/PCShell and XTree, and certainly lacks in many of their
features, it offers one important capability that they don't --
it does Windows! As a result it shines in comparison to their
dull interface, allows better mouse control, provides familiar
controls and direct access to Windows clipboard.
Finding those hidden files are quick and simple through the use
of WinNAV's local, branch and global explore features that allow
you to match multiple filespecs from any drive or directory on
your system and gather them into a single list window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WELCOME -- Page 2
THE CONCEPT OF "DEVELOPMENT-WARE"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then scroll through each data or executable file in the list
while viewing its contents in the quick view window, which offers
text, snoop, WordStar modes as well as ARC, ZIP and LZH directory
modes, or invoke an external viewer application of your own
selection through the optional View/User popup menu.
When you've located the file you want, WinNAV can instantly open,
launch or run every file on your system, both executable and data
files, via any Windows or DOS application with only a few key-
strokes or clicks of a mouse button. It also provides the abil-
ity to launch groups of multiple applications, and to control
their display on the screen.
An alternative approach to exploring for files or file groups is
available through WinNAV's unique implementation of "Alias Direc-
tories" which offers an escape from the archaic concept of direc-
tory trees and path name restrictions.
Its comprehensive "Pack" and "Unpack" features provides access to
popular file archive and compression utilities via launch dialog
panels. You'll quickly agree that WinNAV offers the most sophis-
ticated and complete support available in any Windows applica-
tion, for SEA's and PK's ARC, LHARC and PKZIP archive or
compression utilities. In addition, it fully supports automated
conversions of packed files to and from *.ARC, *.LZH, *.ZIP,
*.PAK, *.DWC, *.CPR, *.LBR, *.SQZ, *.LZS, *.MD and *.ZOO compres-
sion formats, and virus scanning, with Kenneth Starling's CVT and
McAfee Associates' virus SCAN shareware utility programs,
together with the applicable DOS archive or library applications.
So even without the "kitchen sink" WinNAV still provides some of
the basic and most useful features included in Lotus Magellan,
PCTools/PCShell and XTree, as well as a few features and capabil-
ities that even they don't offer.
1.3. THE CONCEPT OF "DEVELOPMENT-WARE"
As WinNAV is an evolving application under continued development,
being a prototype for a Lotus Magellan/XTree type executive for

THE CONCEPT OF "DEVELOPMENT-WARE"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Windows, and is distributed for evaluation purposes
through "shareware" channels, it should be considered
"Development-Ware" and not "shareware" per Se.
Generally, the term "shareware" refers to a relatively mature
copyrighted product which is being distributed for evaluation and
marketing purposes through non-retail channels.
Although "Development-Ware" is a copyrighted product distributed
and marketed as is shareware, it is far from a "mature" product,
but is submitted as an evolving application and development tool.
However, this should not imply that it is a "beta" version of an
application still undergoing testing -- "Development-Ware" is a
fully tested, finished product in the conventional sense. It is
rather a conceptual distinction, in a sense, a few utilities
extracted from a long wish list of what one might like to have in
the ultimate application program; not unlike a writers conception
of the "Great American Novel."
Furthermore, "Development-Ware" should not be confused with
"Cripple-Ware" or other types of demo programs which disable
functions in order to tease a user into purchasing a registered
copy. Any unimplemented functions in "Development-Ware," such as
WinNAV, should be considered just that -- unimplemented; they
have not yet been fully developed or included in either the reg-
istered or unregistered versions, but are only "ideas" of possi-
ble functions that might be implemented or abandoned in future
releases of the application.
"Development-Ware" is distributed under four basic premises:
(1) If the product has proceeded to a point in develop-
ment and testing, as to offer features that users
need or can make use of now -- then let them use it
now!
(2) Products often develop in a vacuum without "real"
user feedback, this can result in the final applica-
tion duplicating the functions of other applications
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------

WELCOME -- Page 4
THE CONCEPT OF "DEVELOPMENT-WARE"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
or having little or no value to the PC community, and
ultimately no market for the product --then don't
develop it if no one wants it!
(3) Quality software takes time and money to develop; and
for this reason, many needed applications and good
ideas never mature into final products simply because
small or part-time developers cannot compete with
commercial software developers and publishers and
therefore cannot afford to produce the final polished
product -- then solicit support for your application
and ideas at their inception, from other small devel-
opers and potential users!
(4) Worthwhile products will be supported, those that are
not should not be developed -- then only develop,
produce and enhance application when enough small
developers and "real" users express an interest in
and are willing to support it, through both registra-
tion and constructive feedback or through co-
development or contributions of useful code!
As indicated, distribution of "Development-Ware" of an applica-
tion can be of substantial benefit to both its developers and
ultimate users. It permits the user to benefit from many of the
features and functions of a final product, at little or no
expense; it provides "real" end-user input into the actual devel-
opment of a product, allowing the developer to consider those
features deemed important to the user and otherwise avoid
existing and foreseeable problems, whether real or cosmetic, that
might be incorporated into a final product and provides a means
of quickly remedying those problems as the application grows; it
allows the developer to associate other developers on a co-
operative basis, informally or contractual basis; it allows
single or multilevel versions of the product to be developed,
e.g., "shareware," "custom" and "retail" versions, and allows
spin-off products to be developed incorporating or standardizing
features; and it offsets development costs through registration
and licensing fees, through "shareware" and "custom" versions,
and remuneration and advances from commercial software publishers
and distributors. And, perhaps most importantly, it gives the

competition a peek and a shot a making their own products just a
little bit better; a chance to out program the competition rather
than litigate them into oblivion (users and the development com-
munity as a whole should not suffer by and simply don't benefit
from stagnated applications and interfaces from companies who try
to hold on to their market share without having to provide com-
petitive products).
Since its initial development in late 1988 and first public
release in May, 1989, WinNAV has undergone many changes and has
received tremendous response and support from both its registered
users, and welcome feedback and suggestions from registered and
non-registered users alike. Judging from this response, I can
safely say that both the "Development-Ware" concept and the
shareware system is alive and flourishing as a viable means of
making quality software available at reasonable cost.
In creating WinNAV, which I began as a simple learning exercise
and a development tool for a small file management and viewer
application, I set out to make a crude Windows application that
would allow one to view the first few lines of a file and then
copy and delete them as needed. However, my initial plans appar-
ently got sidetracked by some rather large gaps in the existing
shareware applications available to Windows users. In an attempt
to satisfy some of the basic needs of myself and as many other
Windows users as possible the plan for WinNAV was conceived -- to
develop a quick, simple and intelligent executive for Microsoft
Windows, which would provide means of seeing what was in a file
before copying, deleting or renaming it, a way of running and
loading every day applications without having to create complex
menu files, a way of using most popular archive utilities from
within Windows without abandoning the graphic environment for the
DOS command line prompt, and, most importantly, providing Windows
with file explore and group features similar to existing DOS
applications. Hopefully, each version of WinNAV moves a little
closer to these goals.
Along the way, many individuals have suggested features and
changes in the program that are not feasible in the current
design of WinNAV or are simply beyond my present technical exper-
tise -- please keep in mind that I am a full time attorney in
-----------------------------------------------------------------

WHY REGISTER NOW?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Houston, Texas, and WinNAV is only a part-time project. However,
some of those user needs and suggestions have been merged into
the current design of WinNAV, or may, if support and interest
continues and I can figure out how to do it technically and
financially, be implemented in future versions.
But don't expect the impossible, it is doubtful that the tremen-
dous power and capability of a DOS application such as Lotus
Magellan or PCTools can ever be satisfactory implemented in the
Windows environment as it now exists. Therefore, the user should
not expect WinNAV to ever mature to the level Lotus Magellan, but
hopefully this author might be able to scratch the surface of
some of Magellan's more basic functions for the benefit of all
Windows users.
1.4. WHY REGISTER NOW?
Should you register WinNAV now, or wait until the next release?
That depends ...
Hopefully, WinNAV will never be a "mature" product per Se, but
will always be considered "Development-Ware" -- their are too
many enhancements that could be added and the wish list still
grows.
When the terms "not fully functional" are used in conjunction
with "Development-Ware," they are used from the developer's
standpoint and not that of the user; it simply means that the
developer hopes to continue to add many major enhancements to
future releases of the application, some of which may appear from
time-to-time in grayed menu items and non-functional dialog pan-
els. These unimplemented functions could just as well be omitted
from a particular release of an application, and it been called a
"finished" product -- sort of like dBase IV and the infamous 1.0
release. From a users' point of view, however, many of its exis-
ting functions could in their own rights be finished standalone
products with capabilities exceeding other Windows applications
being commercially marketed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Navigator [0.51 12/15/90] It's FlashPoint WindowWare!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WELCOME -- Page 7
WHY REGISTER NOW?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So the foregoing should not be the basis of any decision not to
register the current version now.
Other future releases of WinNAV may include some basic text
search and view file format filters as does Magellan, PCTools and
XTree, more elaborate launching of applications and files, and a
more graphical interface. However, this is only a "wish" list
and not a guarantee or warranty that such features will ever be
implemented -- the release of updated versions of WinNAV, as with
"shareware," will depend on the continued support of its regis-
tered users.
Please keep in mind that WinNAV will only continue to be enhanced
and released as "Development-Ware" through shareware channels, so
long as its users demonstrate continued interest and support for
the product.
Another good reason for registering the current release of WinNAV
is that the basic registration fee for new users, generally, has
increased with each major enhancement to or release of WinNAV,
whereas existing registered users continue to be able to upgrade
their versions for only a nominal fee.
At a minimum, registered users will generally be able to obtain
any version of WinNAV that is distributed through shareware chan-
nels, by downloading a copy from a local bulletin board or the
cost of postage, media and handling (the current charge is shown
in the "Registration" and "Order Form" sections of this User's
Guide).
In addition, registered users, contributing to the support and
development of future versions of WinNAV, will be given notice of
all major new releases, and provided with an authorization code
to disable the opening and closing prompts for registration of
their copy.
So we return to the question, "Should you register WinNAV now, or
wait for the next release?

USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF UNREGISTERED COPIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The answers are simple . . . register WinNAV when it is useful to
you, when you find you are using its features on a regular basis,
if you want to contribute to and encourage its continued develop-
ment, if you want to save a few bucks by avoiding the increase in
registration on the next major release, when you're starting to
feel guilty, or . . . .
Full information on registration and licensing are contained
elsewhere in this manual.
1.5. USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF UNREGISTERED COPIES
Unregistered copies of WinNAV are for evaluation purposes only,
and may be distributed through normal shareware channels. Please
distribute these evaluation copies to other bulletin boards and
users.
Each release of WinNAV will be first posted on Fox Micro's BBS,
in Houston, Texas, at (713) 859-9105 (Public Node) and (713)
859-9108 (Private Node). Those interested in Microsoft Windows
may find that the Windows and OS/2 conference and file area on
this board to be one of the best and most active in the Houston
area.
In addition copies are uploaded to various Compuserve forums'
software libraries, including the Microsoft Windows and third-
party Windows Developers forums (MSOFT, MSWIN, MSOPSYS, WINAPA,
WINAPB), the Samna forum (SAMNA), and other Windows and PC
related forums, GEnie's Microsoft Connection, PKWare's BBS (414)

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1.6. ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide is designed to help you explore and use WinNAV for
Microsoft Windows; however, it, like WinNAV, is in the develop-
ment stage, and is far from complete. Again, the point is to get
the application program to the user at the earliest possible date
in its development -- the manual, hopefully, will catch up later.
Besides, its always fun to investigate and discover undocumented
functions and uses for any application program.
Nevertheless, throughout this manual, every effort has been made
explain those functions applicable to this release of WinNAV, and
to point out those functions which have not been implemented;
hopefully, this will avoid needless confusion and frustration for
its users.

STARTING WINNAV
-----------------------------------------------------------------
II. LEARNING TO NAVIGATE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2.1. STARTING WINNAV
WinNAV may be activated as is any other Windows Application, and
may also be installed in the "load" or "run" sections of the
WIN.INI file or the "shell" section of your SYSTEM.INI file.
2.2. USING WINNAV
2.2.1. General Features and Commands
Function menus or dialog panels, as most features of WinNAV,
can be invoked through the menu bar, either through the use of
the keyboard or mouse. They may be canceled by pressing the
[ESC] key or a "Quit" ([Alt]+[Q]) button exit any dialog panel.
Their default commands and options can be selected by clicking
with the mouse, or by using the [Tab], space bar or cursor
keys, and invoked by pressing the [Enter] key or by the "OK"
([Alt]+[O]) button.
Other functions or selections are invoked by accelerator and
Alt-Key combinations. The Alt-Key combination may be used by
pressing the [Alt] key in combination with a character key
which matches a window or dialog control that has an underlined
character displayed. Accelerator keys can be located by invok-
ing the various "Help" menus or by pressing the [F1] function
key, other accelerator key combinations may be found in
applicable sections throughout this manual.
Message boxes are displayed on the screen automatically, and
can be canceled by pressing the "space bar" or an "OK"
([Alt]+[O]) button.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
LEARNING TO NAVIGATE -- Page 12
USING WINNAV
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Cursor keys" generally include the left, right, up and down
arrow keys, the [Home], [End], [Page Up] and [Page Down].
These may also be used in some instances in combination with
the [Shift] and [Ctrl] keys, for example, the [Ctrl]+[Right
Arrow] or [Left Arrow] keys can toggle between the list and
view windows, and the [Shift]+[Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] key
combinations are used to mark multiple file selections in the
list window.
Key and mouse controls may be different if the directory list-
ing or view windows have the current or active focus.
WinNAV's window size and location can be manipulated through
the use of the system menu (invoked by pressing the [Alt]+[-
SpaceBar] key combination or by clicking the mouse on the [-]
system menu symbol in the upper left corner of WinNAV's parent
window), maximized by pressing [Alt]+[F10] combination, mini-
mized by the [Alt]+[F9] keys, sized by the [Alt]+[F8] and cur-
sor keys, moved by the [Alt]+[F7] and cursor keys, or restored
by pressing the [Alt]+[F5] key combination. The mouse can also
be used to maximize, minimize or restore the applications win-
dow by clicking on the up and down arrow symbols in the upper
right of WinNAV's parent windows, double clicking the caption
bar or by dragging the window border..
2.2.2. The Directory List
Upon loading WinNAV, you are then presented with a listing of
the current directory from which you may select a file, drive
or directory, together with various child windows that provide
you with current information.
The default for the list of files is *.* which displays all
files in the current or designated directory, unless a file was
named in the command line used to invoke WinNAV..
The List menu commands allows the directory list to display
global and recursive file specifications from every disk or
drive on the user's system, which are selected through the use
of the Local, Branch and Global Explore dialog panels; these

-----------------------------------------------------------------
options allow the displayed list of file names to be limited or
expanded to particular groupings of files, and allow recursive
drive and directory searches.
In addition you may assign and select an Alias Directory or
Group listing from either the Local or Branch dialog panels and
search for multiple preassigned groups of files from the Global
Explore dialog panel.
Making Selections
Selections are made by moving the list box current selection
bar, up or down, to the desired file, directory or drive
item. This is accomplished through the use of the up and
down keyboard cursor control keys, e.g., the page up or
down, home or end or up and down arrow keys, or by clicking
or dragging a mouse.
Multiple file names may be selected by dragging the mouse
over the listed file names or through the use of the [Shift]
and [Ctrl] keys in conjunction with the arrow or cursor keys
or clicking the left mouse button.
The [Shift]+[F8] enables and disables the extended list box
"Add Mode," which is indicated by a flashing list-box cur-
sor. If the add mode is enabled, the [Spacebar] will toggle
the selection status of an item and drop the selection
anchor, without removing the selection from other items. It
also allows you to navigate the list box with the cursor
navigation keys ([Up/Down/Left/Right Arrow], [Home], [End]
and [Page Up/Down]) without selecting an item, removing the
selection from other items or moving the selection anchor.
The [Shift]+[Spacebar] and [Shift]+[Navigation Keys], does
not remove the selection from other items when the Add Mode
is enabled (except for those established by the most recent
anchor point), and toggles all items (to the same selection
state as the item at the selection anchor) from the selec-
tion anchor to the current position; they do not move the
selection anchor.

Resizing the List Window
The "List" window may be toggled from standard to Maximized
(Zoom) modes by (1) repeatedly pressing the [F8] function
key while the list box has the current focus, or (2) the
"Window" pop-up menu's "Max List" option. In addition, the
Max List mode can be invoked by pressing the [F11] function
key even when the "List" window does not have the current
focus. The list window can be subsequently restored to
standard split Column mode by pressing the [F9] function
key.
WinNAV's "List" and "Quick View" windows may be switched
from standard to split Row screen mode by (1) pressing the
[F10] function key, or (2) the "Window" pop-up menu's "Rows"
option. To restore the standard Column mode (1) press the
[F9] function key or (2) select the "Columns" option from
the "Window" pop-up menu.
Changing Drives and Directories
You may select a new directory or disk drive from the direc-
tory list, by one of the following options: and then switch
to it by either pressing the return key or by
double-clicking on it with the mouse.
(1) Selecting the drive or directory with the cursor
control keys and then pressing return, or
(2) Pointing to the drive or directory and then
double-clicking the left mouse button.
(3) Backing up the directory tree by pressing the
[Left Arrow] key while in the "List" mode. This
option will result in the list box switching to
the parent of the current subdirectory until the
root directory is reached; thereafter, pressing
the [Left Arrow] key will first collapse the

directory to display only subdirectories and
disk drives, and a second press will collapse
the list box to display system drives only.
The current path or directory may also be changed through
the List menu bar's "List" "Local" selection ([Alt]+[L],
then [L]) keyboard combination, which displays the "Path
Explore" panel. The Path panel provides a simple set path
to edit boxes where the full pathspec, including designated
filespec, may be manually typed.
More powerful and sophisticated Path panel features may be
provided through preassigned "Alias Directories." The Alias
Directories' listings may be added to, updated or deleted by
use of the "New," "Update" and "Remove" buttons immediately
below the Alias Directories list box.
There is also a multiple selection extension ("Ext") listing
which will automatically complete the files to be selected
edit box with one or more selected file extensions and wild-
cards.
The Path Explore panel also allows you to designate whether
to include Hidden, Read Only and System Files, Drives or
Directory names in the resulting list window by checking the
appropriate check boxes. Whereas the "Display" group of
grayed buttons indicate what file or directory information
will be displayed in either a Row or Maximized List window.
The Path panel also provides the ability to recurse all
subdirectories of the designated directory path, for inclu-
sion of matching files in the resulting list window, by
simply marking the appropriate check box. The Branch List
menu selection invokes an identical Path Explore dialog
panel, but with the recurse all subdirectories box already
checked.

2.2.3. "Quick View"
The "Quick View" window, located to the right of the List win-
dow in standard "Columns" mode or below the list in the split
"Rows" mode, will display the initial lines of the currently
selected file. This window will be updated automatically when
you select a new file and release the cursor control key or
left mouse button.
The View window attempts to automatically determine the appro-
priate view mode for the current selected file, directory or
drive in the List window, and display it in the following
modes:
Text Text Attempts to display files in a simple
ASCII/ANSI text mode.
Text Snoop Attempts to extract all printable text from
any
file, whether a data or executable file.
Text WordStar Attempts to display files in a text mode
(7 bit) after striping the high order bit (used by
various applications such as WordStar for
storing printer and control characters/com-
mands).
Dir ARC Dir Shows a directory of the contents of an
*.ARC archive/compressed file.
Dir LZH Dir Shows a directory of the contents of an
*.LZH, *.LSH or *.ICE archive/compressed
file.
Dir ZIP Dir Shows a directory of the contents of a
*.ZIP archive/compressed file.
Dir Tree Shows the directory of the selected drive
or pathname (or the parent of the current
directory if the [..] abbreviation is
selected.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
If a valid file name is selected from the directory list box,
the "Quick View" window will attempt to display a partial
contents of the file. Approximately the first 10,000 bytes of
the file are read into the internal view window; the percentage
indicator at the lower right of WinNAV's window indicates the
approximate percentage of the total file read into memory --
files less that 10k in length should display 100% read.
In the Text, Snoop and WordStar modes the initial lines of a
text or ASCII files will be displayed in the view window, but
may not retain their proper formatting.
Executable and binary files shows text extracted from the non-
text file, however, this text will not necessarily be from con-
tiguous portions of the file, and may contain a certain amount
of garbage, i.e., characters appearing in the file but which
are not really words. While this unformated view mode may seem
like nonsense at times, the Snoop mode is excellent for reading
font types from *.fon files, as well as allowing you to read
sufficient text in certain wordprocessing files such as Windows
Write, Word, Word for Windows, WordPerfect, Ami/Ami Pro and
Lotus Manuscript document files to identify the files contents
-- thereafter you can launch the appropriate application for a
formatted view or editing session.
Files compressed in the *.ARC, *.PAK, *.LZH, *.LZS, *.ICE or
*.ZIP formats will have their internal file directories dis-
played in the view window.
Using "Quick Views" Extended Features
When the list directory is the active window or has the
"focus," the "Quick View" window displays the file as indi-
cated above. To access its extended features, the view
window must be given the focus; this is done by (1) pressing
the [Ctrl]+[ -> ] (control and right arrow key) combina-
tions, (2) selecting the "To View" option from the List
mode's "Window" menu's "Toggle" option, or (3) by clicking a
mouse on the "Quick View" window area.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
LEARNING TO NAVIGATE -- Page 18
USING WINNAV
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When the view window gains the focus, the List mode menu bar
is replaced with the View mode menu bar, and the "List" mode
indicator on the upper right information bar changes to
"View." The user can now use the keyboard cursor keys or
mouse and scroll bars to move through the file being viewed,
and invoke various selections from the new menu bar.
The "Quick View" window may be toggled from standard to
Maximized (Zoom) modes by (1) repeatedly pressing the [F8]
function key while the view window has the current focus, or
(2) the "Window" pop-up menu's "Max View" option. In addi-
tion, the Max View (Zoom) mode can be invoked by pressing
the [F12] function key even when it does not have the
current focus, and subsequently restored to standard mode by
pressing the [F9] function key.
WinNAV's "List" and "Quick View" windows may be switched
from standard Column mode to a split Rows screen mode by (1)
pressing the [F10] function key, or (2) the "Window" pop-up
menu's "Rows" option. To restore the standard Column mode
(1) press the [F9] function key or (2) select the "Columns"
option from the "Window" pop-up menu.
Using the "Quick View" Window as a "Quick Editor"
WinNAV's "Quick View" window can also be used as a "Quick
Editor," while still protecting the file from any possibil-
ity of being modified. When viewing the file you are view-
ing a portion of the file read into memory and not the file
itself, and when you modify the file all modifications take
place in the view window only. Therefore, the user can
modify the view of the displayed file, and then use Windows
clipboard to perform various copy, move, paste and delete
functions; this allows text to be saved and retrieved
through the clipboard and to cut and pasted into any other
text processor (even a DOS wordprocessor) or application
such as a terminal program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

LEARNING TO NAVIGATE -- Page 19
USING WINNAV
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You can even use the "Edit" menu's "Delete All" feature to
completely erase the view windows contents, type in excess
of 20k of text, and then use the "Edit" menu's "Select All"
and "Cut" or "Copy options to move it to the clipboard for
use in another Windows or DOS application. Again, these
changes are performed exclusively in the memory allocated to
the viewer and will not modify the original disk file
itself.
Using External Viewers
The entire file may be viewed through any user configured
external viewer, list or browse utilities by (1) pressing
the [Ctrl]+[F6] or [Shift]+[F6] keys, or (2) by use of the
pop-up "File" menu's "Type" function, or the "View" menu's
"User Viewer 1" and User Viewer 2" options; another option
is through the use of the "File" menu's "Launch" and "Open"
selections.
The [Ctrl]+[F6] and [Shift]+[F6] function key combinations
will invoke the user designated Viewer 1 and Viewer 2,
respectively. For these functions to work properly and to
their full capabilities, the user is required to customize
the WINNAV.INI file as described in "Getting Started" sec-
tion of this manual.
2.2.4. Launching a File
You may "launch," i.e., load and run, the currently selected
file, a single application or groups of multiple applications,
through WinNAV's enhanced Launch, Open and Run facilities. Any
file, including Windows or MS-DOS applications or data files,
may be launched by one of the following options:
(1) Selecting the file with the cursor control keys and
then pressing return,
(2) Pointing to the file name and then double-clicking
the left mouse button,
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
LEARNING TO NAVIGATE -- Page 20
USING WINNAV
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Selecting the file with either the cursor control
keys or mouse, and then chosing the File/Launch
pull down menu, with the [Alt]+[F] then [L] keys or
the mouse, or
(4) Selecting the file with either the cursor control
keys or mouse, and then pressing the [F7] key.
With respect to executable files, i.e., those having an *.EXE,
*.COM, *.BAT or *.PIF file extension, options (1) and (2) will
immediately load and run the application; options (3) and (4)
invoke the Launch dialog panel, which allows the user to enter
any desired parameters, e.g., the name of a data file.
The "File Open" command will immediately launch the associated
application, if any, and load the selected file, without
prompting for additional user input. Only WinNAV's "File Open"
menu options will load and run a non-executable file automati-
cally, all other functions will invoke either the Launch or Run
dialog panels, which will allow the file's associated
application program to be verified or an alternative selected.
The "Launch Panel" may be invoked by double clicking on the
listed file's name. This allows the user to select any appli-
cation which has been pre-configured through use of the "New"
or "Update" list box setup buttons, and to launch it with the
appended file name and preset parameters.
When the "Launch Panel" is invoked the currently selected file
becomes the default file displayed in the dialog panel's "File"
edit box window. WinNAV will then check the file's extension
against those appearing in the user configurable [Launch Exten-
sions] section of the Windows' WINNAV.INI file or, if it can
find no match there, against those appearing in the
[extensions] section of the WIN.INI file; if WinNAV finds a
match, it will automatically select the appropriate application
and parameters, and set the "Primary Task" edit window box
accordingly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
If a non-executable file is selected, and if that files exten-
sion appears in either the [Launch Extensions] section of the
WINNAV.INI file or the [extensions] section of the WIN.INI,
then the default Launch "Primary Task" window will display the
filespec of the application extracted from the INI file that
has been previously associated with that extension.
The "File Run" command is designed or initially configured to
run applications and generally ignores the selected file.
2.2.5. The "File" Menu Functions
The "File" pull down menu displays the following options:
Open
Launch ...
Run ..
Copy ...
Delete ...
Rename ...
Edit
Associate ...
Virus Scan
Virus Scan/Remove
WinNAV
DOS Prompt
Exit
End Windows Session
Kill Windows Session
Although the "File" pull down menu appears when either the List
or View window is the active window, several functions are not
displayed on the View window's "File" menu popup.
Open
Purpose: This command will allow any selected file to be
"opened" -- the associated application program
together with the selected file will be ran and

loaded. This feature, although much more
advanced, is similar to the features available
under the Windows File Manager and MS-DOS Execu-
tive applications, and provides the user with the
capability of immediately launching Windows and
DOS applications, utilities and even data files,
and a simple an intelligent way to invoke an all
but unlimited number of user specified applica-
tion programs.
In order to determine which application is asso-
ciated with the selected file, WinNAV first
examines the [Launch Extensions] section of the
WINNAV.INI file, and, if no matching extension is
found, then examines the [extensions] section of
the WIN.INI file. If no matching extension is
found in either INI file, WinNAV advises the
user, and then invokes the "Associate" dialog
function to allow the user to install the
required information in the selected files.
Note: This version of WinNAV requires that the user
manually edit the [Run Buttons] section of the
WINNAV.INI file, in order to customize the but-
tons and their associated applications; this may
be done with the Windows Notepad utility, or any
other ASCII/ANSI "text" editor.
See, the "Associate" function and installation
sections of this manual.
Launch ...
Purpose: This command will allow any selected file, appli-
cation or multiple applications to be "launched"
-- it replaces or combines the run, load,
associate and group options available under the
Windows Program Manager, File Manager and MS-DOS
Executive, with more advanced options. It can
provide the user with the capability of launching

Windows and DOS applications, utilities and even
data files, and a simple an intelligent way to
invoke an all but unlimited number of user speci-
fied application programs.
Prior to actually invoking the application, or a
data file and an application, the Launch dialog
panel will appear, prompting the user to accept
the proposed default application (provided one
has been previously "associated" with the current
file type), to select a group or task from the
list box menu, or to manually type the desired
information in the applicable edit window.
In addition, the Launch Panel provides an
Extended Command edit window which allows the
user to invoke multiple applications or command
line tokens at the same time. Each command line
token or application is required to be separated
by a comma "," in order to be properly processed
by WinNAV.
Format:
calc.exe, cardfile.exe, winword.exe
Both the Primary and Extended Commands allow the
user to select how the command group will be
displayed, i.e., in a window, iconic or full
screen, whether the selected file should be
appended to the primary application, whether Win-
NAV should be reduced to an icon upon completion
of the launch or whether the application windows
should be tiled.
The "Group/Task Menu" listbox can be configured
through the use of the "New," "Update" or "Re-
move" keys, and can support nested submenus up to
five levels deep. The current menu or level is
displayed immediately above the listbox. To move
down a level simply double-click the mouse or

press the [Enter] key on the desired listing; to
move back up a level, press the [Esc] key.
Double-clicking or pressing [Enter] on a non-menu
item will immediately launch that application
group. A menu or level listing is identified by
a "..." in the "Primary Task" edit window.
Note: In this release of WinNAV, only the first for
windowed applications will be tilled, if that
option is selected.
Also, refer to sections on associating and
launching files for additional information.
Shortcut: [F7]
Run ...
The "File" menu "Run" command allows the immediately start
an application program, generally without loading the
selected file. This command is similar to other "Run" func-
tions of various Windows application in that it allows the
user to manually type in any desired application program and
parameters. However, it also provides several advanced
functions, such as the drive or directory to log to prior to
invoking the application program, allowing selection as to
how the application should be displayed, i.e., in a window,
as an icon or full screen, whether WinNAV is to be minimized
or the window display tiled.
The Run dialog panel also provides twelve user definable
application push buttons, to speed invocation of commonly
used application programs. When the desired push button is
selected, the specified application is run; all other param-
eters or Run panel options are ignored, and WinNAV only
invokes the options that the user has defined in the [Run
Buttons] section of the WINNAV.INI file.
The "Run" dialog panel displays the following pre-defined or
default push buttons:

WinNAV
Purpose: This menu selection will load and run additional
copies of WinNAV.
DOS Prompt
Purpose: This menu selection will load and run the COM-
MAND.COM file; this allows the user to open a DOS
window for running standard (non-Window)
applications or commands from the DOS command
line prompt.
Shortcut: [Shift] + [F10]
Exit
Purpose: This command is used to close or quit WinNAV. In
addition, if you have installed WinNAV as your
Windows's shell and you are exiting the primary
WinNAV application, your Windows session will be
terminated after allowing each open application
to perform any required shutdown procedures.
Shortcut: [Alt] + [F4]
End Windows Session
Purpose: This command is used to end your entire Windows
session, after giving each open application an
opportunity to perform its required shutdown pro-
cedures. If the application normally prompts for
confirmation for saving of files or other similar
user requests, they will be displayed prior to
closing each application's respective window.

If a non-Windows DOS application is currently
open, this command will be terminated. To con-
tinue, you must first manually exit the DOS
application, and again invoke the "End Windows
Session" command
Kill Windows Session
Purpose: This command does just what it says, it kills
your Windows session, resulting in an immediate
exit to the DOS prompt. It does not give any
open applications an opportunity to perform their
normal shutdown procedures.
This command will abort your Windows session even
if you have open non-Windows DOS applications.
Warning: This command should be used with extreme care, as
data in any open files will be lost.
2.2.6. The "List" Menu Functions
The "List" pull down menu appears on the menu bar when the List
window has the active focus; it displays the following options:
Refresh
Local ...

Refresh
Purpose: This command is used to update the list window
directory for the current directory, and gener-
ally should be used after performing copy,
archive compression, expansion or conversion, or
other disk directory writes or deletions from

external applications; this release of WinNAV
does not automatically update the listing after
any of these external events.
Shortcut: [Shift] + [F9]
Local ...
Purpose: This command is used to change the current direc-
tory displayed in the List window.
In addition its advanced capabilities provides
"Alias Directories" and multiple extension selec-
tions from various list boxes, as well as the
means of including or excluding hidden, system,
read only files and directories from the list
window.
The "Alias DIrectory" feature provides the user
with a means of referencing any directory and
multiple filespecs within directories in a less
cryptic manner than typing their archaic DOS tree
names.
You can also change drives by backing up the
directory list tree with the [LEFT ARROW] key, or
by pressing the [END] key, which will move to the
to the directory and drive area of the List
Window, selecting the applicable drive (or direc-
tory) and pressing [ENTER].
Multiple file specifications can be given, each
which may include the wildcard "*" or "?" charac-
ters; each filespec should be separated by at
least on space. For example:
*.arc *.zip tmp*.lzh *.wp?

Branch ...
Purpose: This command invokes a dialog panel with features
identical to the "Local" menu selection (see
above), with the exception that the recursive
search of all subdirectories check box is auto-
matically marked.
Multiple file specifications can be given, each
which may include the wildcard "*" or "?" charac-
ters; each filespec should be separated by at
least on space. For example:
*.arc *.zip tmp*.lzh *.wp?
Shortcut: [Ctrl] + [F5]
Global ...
Purpose: This function will recursively search all or spe-
cified disk drives and directories, anywhere on
your system, for file groups matching user
defined patterns. The resulting file group will
be displayed in the list directory window, where
they may be manipulated, mass deleted, launched
or viewed just as is a normal DOS directory.
Multiple file specifications can be given, each
which may include the wildcard "*" or "?" charac-
ters; each filespec should be separated by at
least on space. For example:
*.arc *.zip tmp*.lzh *.wp?
Note: It is possible, in theory, to list all files on
all drives and all subdirectories, in a single
list window; however, in reality, the list will
be truncated after approximately the first
twelve-hundred (1200) files.

THE DISTRIBUTION DISKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
III. GETTING STARTED
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3.1. THE DISTRIBUTION DISKS
The unregistered version of WinNAV is originally distributed in
the form of a self extracting archive file (although it may have
been converted by others to an ARC, ZIP, PAK or LZH compressed
file format). The distribution file should contain the following
files:
WINNAV.EXE The Windows Navigator (WinNAV) application
program.
WINNAV.INI A sample Windows Navigator (WinNAV) informa-
tion and configuration data file. You should
always review this file as it may contain
configuration information that has changed
since the last update of the users' guide.
TYPEDOCS.BAT This batch file will use the DOS copy command
to output WinNAV's *.TXT files, including the
User's Guide (WINNAV.TXT), to your printer.
REGISTER.TXT This file contains important information on
registering or licensing this release of Win-
NAV (this document is also contained in an
appendix to the users guide).
ORDERFRM.TXT This file contains the required
order forms for registering WinNAV
or ordering disks (this document is
also contained in an appendix to
the users guide).
WINNAV.TXT WinNAV's User's Guide (this guide may be in
multiple files identified as WINNAV##.TXT).

GETTING STARTED -- Page 52
WHAT YOU NEED
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The disk sets which may be purchased from the author consist of
the "Program," which contains each of the aforementioned files
and any supplemental information files which may be added from
time-to-time, and "Utilities," which contains an assortment of
unregistered copies of various shareware applications that are
supported by or that may be used in conjunction with WinNAV.
The "Utility" applications contained on the disk are either pub-
lic domain or shareware, and may be distributed by you in accor-
dance with the terms and conditions specified by their respective
authors; please keep in mind that if you continue to use
shareware applications, you must register or license it directly
with its author (by registering WinNAV, you have not acquired a
license to any of the shareware applications contained on the
"Utility Disk"). Generally, these same utilities may be down-
loaded by modem from most local BBS systems, Compuserve and
GEnie, or are distributed on disks by various public software
library services.
Please do not distribute any "Program" files contained on the
disk as they are only for your personal use; the only exception
to this is the unregistered archived copy of WinNAV, which may be
provided on the disk as space is available. Any distribution
contrary to the foregoing limitations is prohibited by the
respective authors and may be actionable under various local and
federal laws.
3.2. WHAT YOU NEED
To use WinNAV, you need the following:
Microsoft Windows (version 3.0 or later)
MS-DOS/PC-DOS (version 3.0 or a later version required by
your version of Microsoft Windows)
A pointing device, e.g., mouse, is recommended
A Microsoft Windows supported graphics adapter card (EGA or
VGA is highly recommended)

DEFAULT INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In addition you will need the application and utility programs
specified in "Appendix D" as well as the standard DOS and Windows
applications you normally use.
3.3. DEFAULT INSTALLATION
A default version of WinNAV is easily installed, by copying the
files WINNAV.EXE and WINNAV.INI to your Windows directory; how-
ever, many of its features will not be fully functional, until
you reconfigure it for your own system and to fully support all
of your Windows and DOS applications.
The instructions in this section are primarily provided for user
customization.
Generally, WinNAV will attempt to use internal defaults for those
settings which do not appear in the either the sample WINNAV.INI
file or your current WIN.INI file; however, these defaults may
rely on certain PIF files and your systems DOS environment set-
tings, and may not function properly if certain settings have
been omitted. For example, all external applications or their
respective PIF files must be located in a directory accessible by
through the DOS "path=" setting.
3.4. INSTALLING WINNAV AS YOUR WINDOWS' SHELL
To install WinNAV as your Windows' shell, in place of the Program
or File Managers distributed with retail Microsoft Windows, all
you need do is edit the "shell=" keyword parameter that appears
in your SYSTEM.INI file (you may use Windows' NOTEPAD.EXE or
SYSEDIT.EXE to edit this file).
Open the SYSTEM.INI file and edit the "shell=" line as follows:
shell=winnav.exe
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Navigator [0.51 12/15/90] It's FlashPoint WindowWare!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED -- Page 54
CUSTOMIZING THE "WINNAV.INI" FILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
and then save the modified SYSTEM.INI file to disk. Install
WINNAV.EXE in your Windows directory where the SYSTEM.INI file is
located, and reload Windows; WinNAV will now be the Windows'
shell..
3.5. CUSTOMIZING THE "WINNAV.INI" FILE
The WINNAV.INI is a configuration file that is used by both Win-
NAV. It contains a series of sections, keywords and settings,
similar to those in the WIN.INI file, that generally appear in
the following format:
[section1 name]
keyword1=setting1, setting2, setting3 ...
keyword2=setting1, setting2, setting3 ...
[section2 name]
keyword1=setting1, setting2, setting3 ...
keyword2=setting1, setting2, setting3 ...
The section name appears in brackets, and each keyword begins on
a new line and is followed by an equal (=) sign and the appli-
cable setting. Multiple settings are often used, and are gener-
ally (but not always) separated by a comma and a space.
3.5.1. Editing the "WINNAV.INI" File
Although most available user configurable features can be added
or updated from within WinNAV, you may wish to make changes
directly to your WINNAV.INI file; this can be done with any
ASCII text file editor, e.g., Windows' Notepad.
To change WINNAV.INI settings directly, follow these steps:
1. Open WINNAV.INI from your text editor in an ASCII or
non-document mode.
2. Locate the section name, keyword or settings you want
to change.

3. Edit the section name, keyword or settings.
4. Save your changes to the WINNAV.INI file.
5. Quit (generally you do not need to reload Windows but
may need to reload WinNAV).
Remember that changes you make to WINNAV.INI generally, but not
always, take effect when the appropriate WinNAV feature is
invoked; however some features may require you to follow the
better practice of reloading WinNAV after you've made changes
to the INI files.
For more information on editing and using INI files, please
refer to your Microsoft Window's User Guide.
3.5.2. Sections, Keywords and Settings
WinNAV currently makes use of the following WINNAV.INI sections
and keywords (in addition it uses the WIN.INI [extensions] sec-
tion for supplemental information). In addition, you should
check the sample WINNAV.INI file which may include some changes
since the last revision of this manual.

3.5.3. The [WinNAV] Section
The [WinNAV] section of the WINNAV.INI file is used to install
many of the custom user features available under WinNAV. The
keywords "userviewer1", "userviewer2" and "utlarc" are the only
keywords whose options must be manually installed by a user
using a text editor; all other keywords are either installed
automatically by or from within the WinNAV application.
Keyword: userviewer1
Purpose: The "userviewer1=" keyword allows the user to
designate the external application program that
is to be invoked by the "View" menu "User Viewer
1" option, for viewing the current selection.
Syntax: userviewer1={application}
Where "{application}" is the full DOS drive,
path, file name and extension for the application
to be invoked.
Example: userviewer1=c:\win386\browser.exe
Default: None.
Keyword: userviewer2
Purpose: The "userviewer2=" keyword allows the user to
designate the external application program that
is to be invoked by the "View" menu "User Viewer
2" option, for viewing the current selection.
Syntax: userviewer1={application}

CUSTOMIZING THE "WINNAV.INI" FILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Where "{application}" is the full DOS drive,
path, file name and extension for the application
to be invoked.
Example: userviewer1=c:\file\list.com
Default: None.
Keyword: utlarc
Purpose: The "utlarc=" keyword allows the user to desig-
nate an alternate external application program
that is to be invoked for unpacking files which
have a "ARC" extension. For example, the user
may prefer to use PKXARC.COM rather than ARC.EXE.
Syntax: utlarc={application}
Where "{application}" is the full DOS drive,
path, file name and extension for the application
to be invoked.
Examples: utlarc=c:\win386\pif\pkxarc.pif
Default: If WinNAV cannot find the "utlarc=" keyword in
your WINNAV.INI file, it will search for and
launch the default "ARC.EXE" application.
Warning/ WinNAV presently assumes the alternate applica-
Tip: tion will be either ARC or PKXARC, and looks for
the letters "pk" in the application specified in
the "utilarc=" setting to determine the appli-
cable Unpack dialog panel to invoke. Therefore,
other alternate applications must conform to the
command and options syntax of either SEA's ARC or
PKXARC to work with the applicable dialog panel,
and, if the PKXARC dialog panel is to be used,
the alternate application must contain the let-
ters "pk" in its file name. For example, NoGate
Consulting's PAK.EXE, could be configured to

-----------------------------------------------------------------
emulate PKXARC's command and options syntax, and
be invoked by using an alias PIF file named
"PKXARC.PIF."
Keywords: User and License [Internal]
Purpose: These Keywords and their respective settings are
created and updated by WinNAV, as a result of a
user providing the appropriate registration
information for his or her copy of WinNAV at the
applicable prompts.
If a copy of WinNAV has been duly registered,
each time it is reloaded, it will immediately run
the application without the startup and closing
prompts that appear in unregistered evaluation
copies.
Warning: Users of unregistered evaluation copies of WinNAV
should not attempt to manually edit this informa-
tion or provide false information at the regis-
tration dialog panel from within WinNAV.
Keywords: Winx, Winy, Winw and Winh [Internal]
Purpose: These Keywords and their respective settings are
automatically created and updated by WinNAV, and
need not be modified by the user. They represent
the coordinates of WinNAV's parent window; they
are read when WinNAV is first invoked, and are
updated or saved upon exiting WinNAV and respond-
ing "Yes" to the save current display query.
Each time WinNAV is reloaded, it will size its
parent window to the coordinates last used when
it was previously run.

CUSTOMIZING THE "WINNAV.INI" FILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tip: When WinNAV is invoked for the first time, size
its parent window, with either the system menu
"Size" command or a mouse, and then exit the
application; this will save the current coordi-
nates of the parent window. Then each time the
application is invoked it will automatically size
itself to these coordinates.
Keyword: Split, Zoom and ShowWin [Internal]
Purpose: These Keywords and their settings are automati-
cally created and updated by WinNAV, and need not
be modified by the user. The setting stores
information as to whether WinNAV's parent window
was in the Column, Row, Maximize List or Maximize
View modes or if WinNAV was displayed as an icon,
in a window or full screen when it was last
exited; the setting is read when WinNAV is first
invoked, and are updated or saved upon exiting
WinNAV and responding "Yes" to the save current
display query.
Each time WinNAV is reloaded, it will automati-
cally select the display and modes based on those
in effect when it was last used or previously
run.
Tip: Before exiting WinNAV, select the desired display
and mode for the parent and child windows; then
respond "Yes" to the save display on exit query,
this will save the current display position,
style and mode of both the parent and child
windows. Then each time the application is
invoked it will use the saved mode as its
default.
Shortcut: [F10] invokes the split Row screen mode.
[F 9] restores the standard Column screen mode.

3.5.4. The [Pack] Section
The [Pack] section of the WINNAV.INI file is used to install
many of the Pack and Unpack features available under WinNAV.
Keyword: unpackto
Purpose: The "unpackto=" keyword allows the user to desig-
nate the drive and directory where archived files
are to be unpacked. This setting will be
displayed as the default when any of the unpack
dialog panels are first displayed.
Syntax: unpackto={d:}{\path\}
Where "{d:}" is a valid system drive, and
"{\path\}" is the full qualified directory name.
The path name must end with a backslash ("\").
Examples: unpackto=c:\unpack\
Default: None.
Keyword: packto
Purpose: The "packto=" keyword allows the user to desig-
nate the drive and directory where archived files
are to be stored upon packing.
Syntax: packto={d:}{\path\}
Where "{d:}" is a valid system drive, and
"{\path\}" is the full qualified directory name.
The path name must end with a backslash ("\").
Examples: packto=c:\archive\
Default: None.

3.5.5. The [Run Buttons] Section
There are twelve user configurable "Run" buttons which appear
in two rows on the "Run" dailog panel. On the top row from the
left the button keywords are LB1, LB2, LB3, LB4, LB5 and LB6;
the bottom row of button keywords are LB7, LB8, LB9, LB10, LB11
and LB12, again from left to right.
Each button's settings allow the user to designate a brief
title for the application to be displayed within the button,
the full path and file name for the application to be invoked,
and a decimal value which tells WinNAV to include or ignore the
parameter line when launching the application (a "0" to ignore
the displayed parameter line or a "1" to include it).
The buttons, if not configured by the user, will contain a
selection of default Microsoft Windows applications. Those
applications, such as NOTEPAD.EXE and PBRUSH.EXE, which accept
a commandline parameter, have been configured to ignore the
selected file, i.e., to run the application without an appended
file name; those that do not, such as CLOCK.EXE and CALC.EXE,
also will ignore any parameter lines.
The following explains how to configure the keyword options of
the [Run Buttons] section of the WINNAV.INI file. Additional
or updated configuration information is contained in the sample
WINNAV.INI file and Appendix C, of this manual.
Keyword: LB# (LB1 through LB12)
Purpose: The "LB#=" keyword allows the user to customize
an application push button on the Run dialog
panel, so that it will invoke an application
other than the default.
Syntax: LB1={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB2={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB3={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB4={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB5={&appname}, {application}, {value}

LB6={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB7={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB8={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB9={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB10={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB11={&appname}, {application}, {value}
LB12={&appname}, {application}, {value}
Where "{&appname}" is the text that should appear
in the push button, and may include an "&" before
any character to designate an Alt-Key combination
to be as a shortcut. Note that certain Alt-Key
combinations are used by the Run dialog panel and
should not be duplicated by the control buttons.
The "{application}" is the full DOS drive, path,
file name and extension for the application to be
invoked.
The "{value}" is a decimal number "0" or "1"
which tells the Run panel whether or not the
dialog's parameter line is to be appended to the
launched application's commandline. If the
parameter is to be appended the value is "1,"
otherwise, it should be set to "0." Generally,
you may set the value to "1" if an application
can accept and load file name's specified in the
commandline; however, this may duplicate the
functions provided in the Launch panel.
Example: LB1=E&xcel, c:\excel\excel.exe, 1
This will run Microsoft Excel, and load the
worksheet file, if any, specified in the Run
panel parameters window.
LB1 If WinNAV cannot find the "LB1=" keyword in your
Default: WINNAV.INI file, the first push button will
default to "1 Calculator." When this button is
used, WinNAV will search the current directory,

Windows directories and the DOS environment
"path=" for the "SOL.EXE" application. Any text
string in the parameters window will be ignored.
3.5.6. The [Launch Main Menu] and User SubMenu Sections
The settings in the [Launch Main Menu] section of the WIN-
NAV.INI file contain information that is required to launch a
Windows or DOS application from the "Group/Task Menu" listbox
of the "Launch" dialog panel. Due to the complex nature of
these settings, you should add, modify or delete all list menus
and items only from within the Launch panel, using the "New,"
"Update" and "Remove" push buttons which invoke the Launch
setup panel.
Note that submenus in this version of WinNAV may be nested to
only the fifth level.
Default: None.
Shortcut: You may use the "New," "Update" and "Remove" push
buttons, in conjunction with the invoked Setup
panel, to add, modify or delete the entries appear-
ing in the "Group/Task Menu" listbox.
The "Group/Task Menu" list will be updated immedi-
ately as a result of any addition, update or dele-
tion; you do not have to exit the Launch panel or
reload Windows in order for WinNAV to detect these
changes in the WINNAV.INI file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED -- Page 67
CUSTOMIZING THE "WINNAV.INI" FILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tips: When a character key is pressed and the "Group/Task
Menu" window has the current focus, the current
selection bar of the list box will scroll to the
next task title that begins with the character of
the key pressed. Therefore, task titles should use
different first letters whenever possible. In order
to group all submenus in one location, you may
precede their title with a common character such as
a period "." or a right bracket ">", etc.
3.5.7. The [Launch Extensions] Section
WinNAV's [Launch Extensions] section of the WINNAV.INI file is
more complex than the Window's [extensions] section, and gener-
ally should not be manually edited; generally, all additions,
modifications or deletions should be made through the "File"
menu "Associate" option panel. This section is used by the
"File Open" and "File Launch" selections to determine the
default application or groups of applications to associate with
a specific file type or extension.
When any file is selected and then the "File Open" or "File
Launch" functions are invoked, WinNAV compares its file exten-
sion with those appearing as keywords in the [Launch Exten-
sions] section of the WINNAV.INI file (or if no match is found,
then the WIN.INI [extensions] section); if it locates a match
it will display the WINNAV.INI application setting for that
file extension as the default application of the "Launch Panel"
or will immediately invoke the associated application and load
the selected file if the "File Open" option was selected.
If the user invoked the "File Launch" panel, he or she is then
given the opportunity to load the file into either the default
application or to select another application for the task.
This offers another significant advantage over the File Manager
or MS-DOS Executive associate functions and similar functions
in other file managers, in that it does not require the user to
elect to include in the [extension] section of the WINNAV.INI
file either an application program, e.g., an editor such as
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Navigator [0.51 12/15/90] It's FlashPoint WindowWare!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED -- Page 68
CUSTOMIZING THE "WINNAV.INI" FILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Notepad, or a viewer application. Now the [extensions] section
can be used exclusively for applications that manipulate data
files, and the [View Extensions] section for launching external
view only applications (which generally load significantly
faster than databases, wordprocessors, etc.).
Furthermore, designating associated extensions will not limit
the user to a single application program, e.g., selecting a
file with the *.TXT extension might display a default viewer or
editor application, but the user is given the opportunity to
change this default automatically via the Launch panel's
"Group/Task Menu" or manually through the primary task edit
window. Thus, common file extensions may be used by more than
one application.
As the [Launch Extensions] settings was originally patterned
after the Windows' [extensions] section, and as the [exten-
sions] setting of the WIN.INI file may also be used by the
"File" menu's "Open" and "Launch" selections, it may be helpful
to also refer to the Microsoft Window's User Guide for more
information on configuring settings in this section of the WIN-
NAV.INI file. Also review the sample WINNAV.INI and the appen-
dix of this users' guide for more configuration information and
examples.
3.5.8. The Windows' [extensions] Section
WinNAV also makes use of the settings in the Windows' [exten-
sions] section of the WIN.INI file, if it does not find a match
in the WINNAV.INI files [Launch Extensions] section.
When a non-executable, e.g., data file, is selected to be
launched, WinNAV may also compare its file extension with those
appearing as keywords in the [extensions] section of the
WIN.INI file; if it locates a match it will display the WIN.INI
application setting for that file extension as the default pri-
mary task in the Launch Panel. The user is then given the
opportunity to load the file into either the default
application or to select another application for the task.

CREATING PIF FILES FOR DOS APPLICATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please refer to your Microsoft Window's User Guide for more
information on configuring settings in this section of the
WIN.INI file.
3.6. CREATING PIF FILES FOR DOS APPLICATIONS
WinNAV can be used with both Windows and DOS applications; in
fact this is the main basis for developing this application -- to
integrate the DOS operating system and applications with the Win-
dows environment.
The internally defined standard DOS applications (see, Appendix
D) used by WinNAV are invoked by launching a PIF file. It
should be noted that WinNAV looks for *.EXE or *.COM extension,
WIndows first checks for a *.PIF file.
When installing your own DOS application, be sure that, if it
requires more than nominal memory and is not located within your
DOS environment path, a PIF file for the application is created.
Refer to this PIF file when invoking the application and not to
the executable *.COM or *.EXE file itself.
Suggested or required PIF file names for many of the internally
defined functions such as Pack and Unpack options are set forth
in Appendix D, of this manual.
Also refer to the Microsoft Windows User's Guide, for information
on using the PIF Editor and properly configuring your PIF file.
3.7. DOS ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS
In Windows, just as in DOS, your DOS environment settings are
important. If an application is not found in the default or
Windows directories, Windows will search the "Path=" setting of
your environment setting to determine additional directories and
drives to search.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED -- Page 70
DOS ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, many DOS applications such as PKZIP.EXE, PKUN-
ZIP.EXE, LHARC.EXE and ARC.EXE rely on the DOS environment set-
tings when run from Windows, just as they do when run from DOS.
Therefore, the applicable users' manuals should be referred to,
in order to properly setup the DOS environment variables for each
application. Generally, if the application has been properly set
up to run outside of Windows, it will run properly within Windows
and from WinNAV's dialog panels -- that is if the PIF files have
also been properly configured.

and avoid possible corruption of the files. A listing of what
files you should have and the purpose of each is listed later
in this manual.
WinNAV documentation may not be modified, nor may be distrib-
uted separate from the application program. In addition, the
distribution documentation may not be printed, copied or
otherwise reproduced, by any means, without the written permis-
sion of the author and copyright holders.
4.1.2. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercial vendors and distrib-
utors of "public domain" or user-supported software libraries
must obtain written permission to distribute copies of WinNAV.
No one may use WinNAV as a promotion for any commercial venture
or as an enticement for the user to pay for any program, prod-
uct, or service unless they have received the express written
permission of the program's author.
In order to distribute WinNAV, a dealer or disk vendor must
comply with the following conditions:
(1) You must obtain written permission from Richard S.
Patterson to distribute WinNAV. If you receive no
reply, write again; my silence does not constitute
permission, and you may not distribute "pending"
receipt of permission.
(2) A maximum disk fee as set by Richard S. Patterson
in the vendor contract must not be exceeded. Win-
NAV may not be included on any disk sold for more
than this maximum, including CD-ROM or optical
disks, without express written permission from
Richard S. Patterson.

PERMISSIBLE DISTRIBUTION OF EVALUATION COPIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Although not required, it is strongly recommended
that each dealer or disk vendor, purchase a master
disk copy direct from Richard S. Patterson, rather
than distribute copies obtained by electronic
means. This insures that your purchasers will
obtain the full, uncorrupted distribution package,
and the most current release and utilities. These
disks may be ordered by use of the registration
form distributed with this package; please indicate
thereon that you are requesting a master disk for
redistribution purposes. All vendors who have
ordered disk copies of the next release, should
receive them within ten (10) days of the public
release date.
(4) Vendors may not modify or delete any files in the
archive file, and should distribute full copies of
any master disk. Vendors may add a "GO" program,
and/or a reasonable number of small text files
designed to assist or provide a service to the
user, but these added files must be easily identi-
fiable and end-users must be allowed to delete the
added files.
(5) Vendors must make a reasonable effort to distribute
only the most recent versions of WinNAV. All ven-
dors who have requested and received written per-
mission to distribute WinNAV will be notified of
each major update as they are released.
(6) All disk vendors must comply with any and all
vendor guidelines or vendor requirements set forth
by the Association of Shareware Professionals
(ASP); for more information about ASP, contact its
chairman, Jim Button, at Buttonware in Seattle, or
ASP, located at 325 118th Ave. S. E., Suite 200,
Belleview, WA 98005. Violation of any ASP guide-
line or requirement automatically revokes permis-
sion to distribute WinNAV.

LIMITED EVALUATION LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4.2. LIMITED EVALUATION LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS
The unregistered evaluation copy of WinNAV is, for purposes of
distribution, a shareware product. It may be freely copied and
distributed for evaluation pursuant to the following rules:
(1) The program and this documentation may not be modi-
fied in any way.
(2) A copy of this documentation is provided with the
program.
(3) No charge, other than a media and handling charge not
to exceed $10.00, excluding actual postage, is made.
(4) Users of the program must purchase a Registered
User's License should they decide to use this product
beyond the evaluation period.
One license per usable copy of WinNAV is required, and the pro-
gram may not be used beyond a thirty (30) evaluation period
without registration. A single archive or backup copy is not
considered a "usable copy" for evaluation or registration pur-
poses.
Please note that if you purchased a disk containing this software
from a public domain/shareware software distributor you have paid
the media and handling charges as permitted above. This is not a
registered copy, and you have not purchased a Registered User's
License. Purchasing a license is required for continued use.
No other person, other than the author Richard S. Patterson, may
accept payment or royalties for this product.
Furthermore, note that this license does not include the right to
distribute for profit or otherwise sell WinNAV.

Licensing materials will generally be sent to you upon
clearance of funds, e.g., check or money order, or receipt of
cash. Media sets are often forwarded separately, depending on
whether the disk order is for the current or next release.
4.5.2. Credit Card, Phone, FAX and Modem Orders
By special arrangement, you can now register WinNAV and pur-
chase disk sets by telephone, modem or FAX, by credit card
(Visa and MasterCard), through the Public Software Library
("PsL"). For further information contact:

ing the product, and that their "800" and FAX numbers are
reserved for credit card orders only.
4.6. PURCHASE ORDERS AND BILLING
Purchase orders are subject to acceptance, and may require an
advance deposit on large orders. Generally, purchase orders are
rejected for orders of less than nine (9) registrations -- even
if they are from a major national corporation or governmental
agency; we are sorry, but we cannot justify spending hours
reading the often cryptic language of multipage purchase orders
for relatively small order or single registrations.
Furthermore, purchase orders will not be accepted if they purport
to obligate us to your company's terms and conditions which are
contrary to those of our licensing agreements or disclaimer of
warranties.
As stated herein, there are no warranties whatsoever associated
with the Windows Navigator (WinNAV) software product, and we are
not responsible for its performance. You are the sole judge of
the product's effectiveness and suitability for your particular
purposes, and are given an opportunity to pre-evaluate same via
shareware distribution.
To order WinNAV, enclose the following items in an envelope:
(1) A fully completed copy of the order form, appearing
at the end of this manual,
(2) Purchase order, stating, in clear and obvious type,
items and number of copies to be registered or pur-
chased, together with your shipping and billing
address, and
(3) Name, address and phone number of a knowledgeable
individual whom we may contact should any question
about this order arise,

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

addressed to:
Richard S. Patterson
P. O. Box 270492
Houston, Texas 77277
4.7. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
We recognizes the difficulties our international customers face
in presenting payment for our products. These difficulties
include excessive fees charged for international money orders,
postal delays and currency conversion problems of various types.
However, we can only accept drafts, checks, international money
orders or travelers checks payable in U. S. Dollars; drafts drawn
on non-U.S. banks require an additional handling charge (Canada
$15.00, other International $25.00). You must perform any neces-
sary currency conversions on your end of the transaction, and
take any necessary steps to eliminate the possibility of the loss
of the funds by the postal services.
Registration and disk orders can also be paid by credit card,
Visa or Master Card, through the Public software Library ("PsL").
See, the "Credit Card, Phone, FAX and Modem Orders" section of
this manual for further information.
It is strongly recommended that international orders be paid by
Postal Money Orders, as these appear to be honored by most U.S.
post offices, or by drafts drawn on U.S. banks with preprinted
U.S. bank routing numbers.
An additional charge to cover postal fees and handling is
required on all international orders, and is included in the
scheduled charges section of this manual. All materials will be
mailed via airmail, whenever possible, thus avoiding many unnec-
essary delays.

sive remedy shall be, at Licensor's option, either (a) return of
the price paid or (b) repair or replacement of the software or

or media has resulted from accident, abuse or misapplication.
Any replacement software or media will be warranted only for the

profits, business interruption, loss of business information,
loss of data, or other pecuniary loss), arising out of the use of

advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for conse-
quential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not

OTHER MATTERS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VII. APPENDIX A -- GENERAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
7.1. OTHER MATTERS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Again, WinNAV is "Development-Ware" and is still evolving. Gen-
erally, no hidden features are implemented by registration that
are unimplemented in a current unregistered release, although
upon registration you may disable the display of the opening or
exit screens (which, obviously, is a plea to support this appli-
cation by registration should you decide to use it, but hopefully
aren't as demanding or obtrusive as some other popular Windows
applications which even contain third-party advertisements).
Many features are, however, currently under development, and many
more are finding its way on to an ever growing "wish list" for
enhancements.
Other future releases, it is hoped, will gradually reduce Win-
NAV's reliance on external DOS applications and utilities such as
XCopy, and certainly file and directory move and other file
management features will be added.
Other features, which have not yet been suggested or even thought
of, will certainly find their way into the Windows environment
and WinNAV itself, provided the interest and support of each of
WinNAV's users continues.
7.2. BUG REPORTS AND COMMENTS
Comments, bug reports and suggestions for future versions of
FlashPoint Development applications are always welcome, from both
registered and non-registered users.

VIII. APPENDIX B -- ORDER FORMS
8.1. PREPAID (NON-CREDIT CARD) ORDER FORM
Please use the following multipage form for all prepaid (non-
credit card) registrations and orders for disks.
All information must be completed fully and the form signed, or
we will not process your order.
Note that you can locate the version or release number of your
evaluation copy of WinNAV on both the sign-on display, and on the
"About" dialog display that can be accessed from the "Help" pull
down menu bar. If you fail to include the version number of your
copy, we must assume that it is the same as the number and date
appearing in the footer at the bottom of each page of this User's
Guide -- this may not always be the same as the application pro-
gram you are presently using.
The following registration fees and forms supersede previous fees
and charges, and are effective as of the date of this release.
Registered user's will be provided with an authorization code,
that will allow them to disable the opening and closing prompts
that appear when The Navigator is run, as well as being provided
with announcements of future updates and releases. These autho-
rization codes are personal and unique, and may not be disclosed
or used by third-parties or on multiple copies of the
application. Hopefully, this will avoid the need in future
release, to purchase updated disk sets.
YOU MUST REGISTER EACH COPY OF AN APPLICATION THAT IS USED BY AN
INDIVIDUAL (ONE COPY MAY NOT BE IN USE ON MULTIPLE MACHINES OR
TERMINALS).
Please make checks or money orders payable to "Richard S. Patter-
son." Prepaid Order (Non-Credit Card) must be mailed to:

10.1. UTILITY PROGRAMS REQUIRED OR SUPPORTED
10.1.1. Extended File Copy Function
WinNAV uses the following external MS-DOS/PC-DOS utility pro-
gram for its extended copy and backup functions.
These standard DOS applications are invoked by WinNAV launch of
the indicated PIF file. It should be noted that WinNAV looks
for the *.EXE or *.COM file extension when it attempts to load
any internally defined standard DOS applications; however, Win-
dows will first attempt to load the appropriate *.PIF file.

XCOPY.EXE 3.21 XCOPY.PIF
10.1.2. Pack/Unpack File Compression Utilities
WinNAV supports the following external file compression utili-
ties through its Pack/Unpack menu and dialog options.
Each of these are standard DOS applications that are invoked by
WinNAV's launch of their respective PIF files. It should be
noted that WinNAV looks for the *.EXE or *.COM file extension
rather than the *.PIF extension when it attempts to load any
internally defined standard DOS applications; however, Windows
will first attempt to load the appropriate *.PIF file.

10.1.3. Convert File Utilities (optional)
In addition to the foregoing, the convert (CVT.COM) utility
options also will require the following utilities to fully sup-
port all listed file compression formats; however, these addi-
tional utilities are only used by the CVT.COM and CVT!.COM
application programs, and may be omitted if conversion of the
indicated formats are not required by the user.
Each of these are standard DOS applications that are invoked by
WinNAV's launch of their respective PIF files. It should be

10.2. ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS AND UTILITIES
Although the following applications are not required nor inter-
nally defined by WinNAV, they can be used to fully exploit its
Launch and View Panels' capabilities. They are comprised of many
of the most popular and widely distributed public domain and
shareware DOS and Windows applications that are available today.
These applications are just a sampling of the utilities that can
be invoked by WinNAV, and should not be considered to be a recom-
mendation or endorsement, nor should it be considered as an all
inclusive list of available public domain and shareware
applications suitable for use by any particular user.
Each of the standard DOS applications, indicated by an asterisk
("*") next to its name, should be loaded by WinNAV's Launch or
View functions invocation of their respective PIF files; gener-
ally, the file name of the PIF file should be the same as that of
the executable program. The Windows applications do not require
PIF files, and may be invoked by directly calling the applica-
tion's file name and *.EXE extension.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS AND UTILITIES

Application Versions Principal Function of
Programs Tested Application or Utility
---------- --------- -----------------------
LIST.COM * 7.1a This is perhaps the oldest and
most used of any the PC file view
utilities; it lists any file in
text or binary format, and pro-
vides extensive options, filters,
search and other facilities too
numerous to describe.
DBB.EXE * 1.2 DataBase Browser an excellent and
relatively new list utility that
displays formatted fields and
records
stored in the dBase *.DBF file
format.
WP5LOOK.EXE * 1.0 Another excellent list utility
that displays WordPerfect for-
matted document files, and pro-
vides its own internal search
capabilities.
BROWSER.EXE 3.0 and 3.2 A Windows list utility that pro-
vides fine search, filter, format
and other capabilities -- its only
draw back is that it cannot load
large files as the entire file is
held in memory.
GCP.EXE 4.20SW An excellent Windows graphic
(f/k/a (also 4.10) viewer, manipulation and file con-
EASEL.EXE) version utility, which supports
Windows Paint (Old and New MSP),
Bitmap, Cursor and Icon, MacPaint
and Mac Startup Screens, GIF, PC
Paintbrush (PCX) and HP Laser
(PCL) file formats.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
WINPRINT.EXE 1.32 An excellent Windows print format-
ter that allows text files to be
printed with headers, selected
fonts, margins and other user spe-
cified settings.
10.3. HOW TO OBTAIN APPLICATIONS AND UTILITIES
Many of the foregoing are shareware as well as public domain
applications. These applications, like Windows Navigator, may be
obtained from such sources as local bulletin board systems
(BBS's), friends, clubs and user groups, and even mail order pub-
lic domain distributions -- one such software library is men-
tioned earlier in this manual.
In addition, most of these are distributed (at least for a lim-
ited time), to registered users who purchase a disk copy of Win-
NAV; they are included free of charge on a separate Utility Disk,
together with any original on-disk documentation and other
information, distributed with WinNAV's registered user disk.
Note, however, that shareware authors expect or at least hope to
get paid for their investment of time and labor in the develop-
ment of a particular application; "payment" generally means
direct payment to the author, and not to any third party or
distributor.
When you register WinNAV, you have not paid for or obtained any
license to use any of the applications which might be contained
on the Utility Disk; these utilities change from time to time,
and are merely provided as a convenient way for you to sample
additional applications that are made available through their
respective authors.
Should any of these utilities be of use to you and wish to con-
tinue to use them, then you must comply with the license terms
and conditions and the registration instructions that are
included with each individual application. Furthermore, these
utilities are distributed "AS IS" and without any warranty what-
soever. Also note that while it is hoped that the utilities on

-----------------------------------------------------------------
the whole represent the most current versions presently being
distributed by the author, more current versions may be available
through other sources.
Hopefully, from time to time, other shareware authors and regis-
tered users of WinNAV, will pass on copies of WinNAV's demo pro-
gram (not the registered copy please) to others, or will forward
new versions of their own utilities, viewers or other shareware
and public domain applications to us for review. If they are
found to be compatible with or otherwise complement the use of
WinNAV, we in turn, will attempt to make them available to our
own registered users for their review.
