===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Thanks for looking at 4FILES!
4FILES is described here in modest detail. Please view the file
4F-READ.ME before trying this version. You may also find 4F-HIST.TXT,
giving the history of recent upgrades, to be of interest.
WHAT IS 4FILES?
===============
4FILES is a multi-purpose file manager that also includes an
editor for 4DOS & NDOS "file descriptions" and the ability to act
as a "front-end" for your favorite utilities and application programs.
4FILES is a DOS program, but it knows when it is operating under
OS/2, Windows, DesqView, or DesqView/X. In these cases it tailors its
operation to take best advantage of the special operating system or
operating environment. OS/2 and Windows icons are provided.
Command keystrokes are simple, to the point, and easy to remember. A
very efficient method of directory navigation is provided. A built-in
configuration routine makes on-the-fly changes of 4FILES' settings a
simple matter, including changes to the "utility ports" (which are used
to call your utilities and other programs), colors, and many custom setup
choices. International keyboards and character code pages are fully
supported. 4FILES runs under DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Desqview, and was
recommended by PC-Computing magazine in its 9/94 issue.
The 4FILES screen lists contents of the current directory with
subdirectories at the top followed by files, each taking a full line.
The list may be sorted any way you like, either on-the-fly or via command
line switches. Except for sorts by file name (the default), the key field
for the current sort is highlighted on-screen.
File and subdirectory names are displayed on the left half of the
screen, one per line, with full statistics. The right half is space for
descriptive file notes. If you are using 4DOS or NDOS (superior
COMMAND.COM substitutes), a file note will remain associated with its
file during copy, move and rename operations. 4FILES works fine with
COMMAND.COM too, except that your notes will be lost during the above
file operations.
Full file management facilities are provided via mnemonic single-key
commands for use on single files and marked groups of files. These
include file copy, move, rename, and delete; and directory create,
remove, and rename. There is also support for ZIP, ARJ, LHA and other
types of file archives.
Any program file or batch file may be executed directly from the
4FILES screen, and any file or directory name can be quickly dropped into
an editable DOS command line. Also, "executable extensions" are
supported, allowing you to load a data file into its associated
application (such as Word Perfect or dBase) based on its file extension.
You can also "shell" back to DOS while leaving 4FILES loaded; your place
in 4FILES is saved.
There is an internal routine for branding this copy of 4FILES (or
later copies you might obtain from bulletin boards or your vendor) with
the serial number you will be given when you pay for your copy. When you
brand the program, the payment reminder screen will no longer appear.
4FILES is $30 (USD). A "Pro" version is also available for $5 more, and
has two specialized features.

===== Installation =====================================
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR "4FILES"
══════════════════════════════════════
1) Copy all files to a subdirectory that is in your PATH.
2) Be sure you have a TEMP subdirectory defined, such as by a
"SET TEMP=C:\" line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
3) Run 4FILES by typing 4F.
4) Type <Alt><F10> to configure 4FILES. You may define utility or
application programs that are called by certain 4FILES keys. If you
use a laptop computer or have an old-style PC keyboard, be sure to
select your keyboard type from menu item "2. Options." There are
many other configuration items that add great flexibility to the
program, change colors, or brand the program as registered.
5) 4FILES provides fast directory navigation as-is, but its capabilities
are greatly enhanced when teamed-up with change-directory utilities
such as LCD, ACD or Norton's NCD. Configure 4FILES to use one of
these utilities, if available.
6) Read "Quick-Start" in 4F.DOC or the printed manual for additional
details. For more detailed or basic instructions, see 4F-INSTL.TXT.
7) For installation under OS/2, Windows, or DesqView, see the manual
(file 4F.TXT).
-= 30 =-
A site license is required if installation or distribution of 4FILES
within your company, institution, organization, government agency, etc.
can result in more than one simultaneous use of 4FILES. To apply for a
Site License, please submit a registration form (see the file 4F_REG.TXT)
along with the appropriate fee, with discounts on the single copy price
of $30 as shown:

===== Warranty =========================================
Any use of 4FILES constitutes your agreement that it is provided "as-is"
with no express or implied warranty (other than free technical support),
that you assume full responsibility for assuring that it performs
acceptably on your system, and that in no event shall Hand-Crafted
Software, Larry Edwards, or their successors be held liable damages
arising from use of the program.
===== License for Use and Distribution =================
AGREEMENT FOR USE AND DISTRIBUTION
================================== 4FILES and its documentation are
copyrighted intellectual property which are distributed as shareware, and
may be used or distributed only in compliance with the following terms
and conditions. 4FILES is neither free nor in the public domain. All
rights are reserved worldwide by the author. Any use of 4FILES
constitutes your agreement to all provisions herein.
USE & REGISTRATION FOR A SINGLE COMPUTER
======================================== Use of 4FILES is free during
your evaluation period. This period ends when you begin to use 4FILES
for any useful work which is not incidental to exploring its
capabilities, and may not exceed 30-days beyond your acquisition date.
When you use 4FILES for the primary purpose of accomplishing useful work
(as contrasted to a genuine evaluation) you are obligated to do your
"share" of the shareware arrangement by registering your copy promptly.
MULTIPLE USE & SITE LICENSING
============================= A site license is required if 4FILES can
potentially be used simultaneously on more than one computer, terminal or
workstation in a business, institution, organization, government agency,
home, etc. To apply for a license, please fill out the registration
form in 4F_REG.TXT. A sample site license and rates are contained in the
file 4F-SITE.TXT
DISTRIBUTION OF 4FILES
======================
Distribution by any means is encouraged, provided:
1) ... that the distribution includes all original files (see Packing
List, below) in their unaltered forms and with unaltered filenames, and
does not include the .CFG file. If the package is incomplete its
distribution is prohibited; please contact me for a complete package. A
BBS may add a tag file listing it as the source, and disk vendors may add
introductory or installation batch files.
2) ... that, unless a higher figure has been approved in writing, the
distribution fee does not exceed $8 if 4FILES is distributed alone or $12
if it is packed on-disk with other programs. Commercial vendors who are
not members of ASP must have written permission to distribute. Please
inquire as necessary.
3) ... that in any vendor catalog or other publication, it is clearly
stated that this is shareware and that $30 must be paid to Hand-Crafted
Software if the program is useful (in addition to the distributors fee,
if any).
4) ... that 4FILES may not be included or bundled with other goods or
services without express written permission of the author. Inquiries are
welcome, and a non-shareware version can be produced for such purposes.
===== About VENDINFO Files =============================
Each VENDINFO.DIZ file contains extensive information about a product.
This "human-readable" section is followed by a compressed data record
useable by automated tools. The data record allows BBSes and other
distributors to automate package handling, and provides users with a
wealth of product information. VENDINFO tools (free viewer for users,
free or inexpensive processors for distributors, editors for authors)
are available from many BBSes, disk vendors, and other sources.
