TCD is a File and Directory Manager in a friendly
Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is so easy and
fun to use that you can master it straight away.
TCD provides many DOS commands you use regularly
under your finger tips (or your mouse cursor).
TCD helps you manage your files and directories and
see the results of the changes you make instantly.
TCD offers you a Text Editor to create a new text
file or edit an existing file.
TCD combines some of the best features of PCTOOLS,
NORTON UTILITIES and XTREEPRO with attractive
graphics display to boost your productivity.
TCD has extensive printing options for Epson, IBM
and Hewlett-Packard compatible printers.

│ How to optimize TCD │
└─────────────────────┘
1) Enable the Expanded Memory Manager if you have one.
2) Install a mouse if possible.
┌────────────────┐
│ Tips and Hints │
└────────────────┘
1) Press F1 for help anytime in TCD.
2) Pressing Control-Break will terminate TCD instantly.
3) TCD can take an optional drive name. For example:
TCD C will show the directory tree of C drive.
The current drive is assumed if no drive is given.
4) You can adjust the blinking rate of the text cursor
in TCD by pressing the function key F3. The text
cursor is present whenever you are prompted to type
something or when you are using the text editor.
5) If a file has the SYSTEM and/or HIDDEN attributes on,
then it will resist to be operated by the File Manager.
You must first switch off the SYSTEM and/or HIDDEN
attributes with the File Manager.
6) TCD.EXE must not be tempered or renamed in order to
work properly.
┌───────────────┐
│ Disk Contents │
└───────────────┘
TCD comes with the following files on a 360K disk:-
TCD.EXE TCD Executable Program file
TCD.DOC TCD Document file ( This File! )
TCD.PAL TCD Palette file
*.BGI Video Support files
REGISTER.DOC TCD Registration Form
If you have a limited disk space, you may omit all the
BGI files but the one appropriate to your video graphics.
Moreover, the BGI files need not reside in the same
directory with TCD.EXE as long as that directory is
included in the PATH command within your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
I have made a decision not to link the BGI files into TCD.EXE
in order to keep its size small.
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Color Customization │
└─────────────────────┘
It is possible to customize the colors used in TCD with VICON,
another Shareware program written by me. Both TCD and VICON
employ the same slick graphical user interface (GUI).
Start up VICON, select Options from the horizontal menu and
Palette Editor from the pull-down menu. When you are fully
satisfied with the palette, save it under the name TCD.PAL
beside TCD.EXE or to any directory registered with the PATH
command.
TCD.EXE always searches for TCD.PAL on start-up and use the
palette contained in TCD.PAL for all its windows, menus,
buttons, graphics and text. If TCD.PAL is not found the
default EGA palette is used.
