WinDirs v4.4!
WinDirs is a complete file management utility. It allows
you to create directories, delete directories, copy and
move files, search for files, view and execute files,
rearrange your Windows items and groups, and it includes a
built-in uncompression program which will extract ZIP,
LZH or ARJ files and Expand Microsoft's compressed files.
WinDirs also has a file labeling function which allows you
to attach short descriptions to your files to describe what
they are. It has a built-in graphics viewer for BMP and
GIF files and an icon viewer and editor. Recently added
features include a Direcory Comparison Function, a
Directory Report Function and a find modem feature
located in the WinDirs menu.
This version of WinDirs is Windows 95 compatible.
For Windows 95 users the option to run Scan Disk will be
enabled as a menu item.
You will need to have the VBRUN300.DLL file installed in your
Windows\System directory in order for WinDirs to run and before you
can run the WinDirs setup program. You will also need to
have the the following archiving utilities fully extracted in a
directory which is located in your path:
For the PKZip program,PKZ204G.EXE;
For the ARJ program, ARJ239a.EXE or ARJ250.EXE (recent versions);
For the LHA program, LHA212.EXE.
(the EXE filename may depend on the version of the program.).
From PKZ204g.exe, WinDirs uses Pkzip.exe, Pkunzip.exe, Pkzipfix.exe,
and Zip2exe.exe.
From Arj239a.exe all you will need is Arj.exe.
From Lha212.exe lha.exe is all that is needed.
Please ensure these files are in your path. These files are not
furnished as part of the WinDirs Program. They can be obtained
from most online services or BBSs.
After extracting the windiv43.exe file, you should see the following
files:
_windirs.pi_
blist.vb_
cmdialog.vb_
ddeml.dl_
dosit.dl_
expand.ex_
fmodem.dl_
frespace.dll
gifbox.vb_

readme.txt (this file)
setup.exe
shell.dl_
threed.vb_
vbctl3d.vb_
ver.dl_
wincomp.pi_
windirs.dl_
windirs.ex_
windirs.hl_

To load WinDirs onto your system, go to the File menu of your
Windows Program Manager and choose Run. Choose the WinDirs
setup.exe file from the directory or disk and click on OK.
The setup program will load all the necessary files onto your
system and create a Windows program group called KnowWare. If
you are using Windows 95 go to the Start button and choose Run.
When WinDirs is installed onto your system, the .pif files are
added to your Windows directory. All of the .dll and .vbx
files are added to your Windows\System directory. The WinDirs
.exe and .hlp files and the windirs.wri file go into the knowware
directory. To uninstall WinDirs, simply delete all of the files
in the list. No changes are made to your autoexec.bat or any
.ini files.
After installation of WinDirs is complete please view the WinDirs
Readme by double clicking its icon. There is also a "Getting
Started" menu item located in the program's Help menu.
WinDirs may be distributed freely, as long as no fee is charged
for the distribution and all of the files listed above are included
with the program. It may in no way be bundled with or included
into another program without obtaining prior written permission
from the author.
WinDirs is a shareware program produced by KnowWare in
Waldport, Oregon.
