│ Waztree V2.00 has been distributed as a complete shareware product in a │
│ file named WT200.ZIP 420,588 bytes. This file WAZTRE20.ZIP has the same │
│ product less to two communication programs (WTMODEM & WTVOICE) and │
│ INSTALL.EXE. It has been provided for BBS distribution reasons to allow │
│ shorter download time and still get a functional product. The product │
│ will work the same except you won't have access to using the communica- │
│ tion programs which allow calling other computers and voice lines. They │
│ are accessed through the main menu a simply won't work. The install │
│ program was left out of this archive as well. To install WazTree just │
│ copy all files to a directory ie. C:\WAZTREE then go to that directory │
│ and type WT <enter> to run. Enjoy!
│ If you register, the latest complete version will be shipped to you. │

4. Tips on using WazTree
------------------------
* You can set up formatting diskettes using Application menu.
For example if you have a 1.2m floppy and want to format 360k
set up the following application than when you want to format
360k floppies just select it. Set up: Press F4 to get
Applications, press F2 with mark over blank application, enter
ie. C:\DOS\FORMAT.COM A:/F:360 <enter> then name the
application "format A: as 360k". You could set one up for
each of the type of floppies you have then formatting will be
a easier.
* If you don't want to use Waztree's editor then you can specify
your own by command ctrl z and after the ID entry you can
specify complete path and name of your editor.
* If you use your own editor and edit the same file often you
might want to enter the editor and document in an Application
selection. Example of Application command line:
C:\EDITOR\ED.EXE MYDOC.DOC

Please provide the following information:
- Registration number (if registered)
- Computer brand and model, and the brands and model numbers of
any additional hardware.

6. Using Mouse Drivers with EGA and VGA Graphics Cards
------------------------------------------------------
Early versions of mouse drivers don't support screen display modes
larger than 80 columns by 24 lines. As a result, your mouse driver
might not work correctly when you use WAZTREE enhanced display
modes EGA 80x43 or VGA 80x50. The following chart will assist you
in determining if your mouse driver will work correctly with the
enhanced display modes. You can usually get an updated driver via
BBS's.
Mouse Version that supports EGA 80x43 and VGA 80x50
----- ---------------------------------------------
Microsoft 6.0 or higher
Logitech 4.0 or higher
