File Plus Ver 1.52C
Copyright (C) 1993-1994 Carl W. Moore
All Rights Reserved
What's New?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ver 1.52C
Completetly re-wrote the Directory Print function.
Now allows you to print either the left or the right directory, the tree
window, and includes info such as: total bytes on volume and total bytes
in printed directory.
Added new function: Print Files.
Allows you to print one or more text files to your default printer.
File Plus will now ask you if you want to save your configuration on exit,
if you've modified it during your current session.
Ver 1.52B
Added a new .ZIP file viewer. This allows you to view the contents of .Zip
files without the little trip to DOS. See the manual for notes on how to use
this new feature (check the section on Viewing ZIP files).
Ver 1.52A
Every dialog box has been re-designed, this should cure the inconsistencies
over different display drivers. The new dialogs look better as well.
Added commas to all the file sizes and spacefree status bars.
File Plus now remembers where it was located last on your display if it is
not maximized.
Ver 1.52:
Corrected Several Multiple Application lockup bugs that have been
occuring at seemingly random times.
New user function added: SMART EXECUTE. See the Manual for explanation.
Ver 1.51:
Fixed many Tree Mode bugs and visual problems
(including a very nasty General Protection Exception).
Button painting now allows for definition of custom colors.
Improved setup program.
Custom font usage for Registered version.

Important Notes
for
File Plus
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This program provides the easiest user interface to date to manipulate
almost all aspects of day-to-day managment of files and directories.
As a result, it's also EXTREMELY easy to point-and-click thousands of
files and directories into oblivion if you don't pay attention to the built in
safeties.
As a general rule, all functions in File Plus that can cause files and
directories to be deleted or moved, will ask you for verification first. For
advanced users, these safeties can be turned off.
Shareware:
File Plus is shareware.
You are authorized to use this copy of File Plus for 30 days, if you like it,

The author of this software (Carl W. Moore) assumes no responsibility for any

(1) Before beginning the Setup program insure that all of the above files are
in the same directory.
(2) Use the RUN command from Windows Program Shell to start SETUP.EXE.
(3) Follow the instructions given in the SETUP program.
(4) After SETUP exits, create a new program group for File Plus,
(call it whatever you like).
(5) Create a new program item in the new program group, once again you can call
the new item anything you want (I recommend calling it File Plus).
The .EXE file for the item will be DISKUTIL.EXE. You should find it
in the directory you specified during the SETUP part of installation.
Insure that the startup directory in the Advanced section of the item
for File Plus is also the same directory as the one specified during SETUP.
(6) File Plus is now ready to run. Double-Click its icon.
Please read FILEPLUS.DOC for planned upgrades.
