There are dozens of file managers on the shareware market alone, but File_Handle is the one you really should try. Its quality is outstan- ding, even compared to non-shareware programs like Norton Commander, Qdos, PC-tools and Xtree. Since File_Handle is a powerful program ─ it has many menus ─ don't let that hold you back; you'll just need some time to find out that File_Handle works easy and consistently, if you give it a chance. See the file REVIEW.TXT and the chapter Tutorial in MANUAL.TXT, these will help you on your way to a better computing future in just a few minutes. File_Handle has special support for removable media such as floppy disks, CD-ROM's, and the high-capacity Magnetic-Optic devices. Print the file FH_QUICK.TXT to get a quick reference list, or press HelpQ (Ctrl+F1) in the program. There are Regular, Lite (low-cost), and Site licenses available. See the file ORDER.TXT. Thank you for considering a shareware product.

You may have to extract the programs first with a de-archiver. Do this in a temporary directory or on a floppy. Then enter: sourcedrive:INSTALL sourcedrive: destdrive: fhdirname Example: A:INSTALL A: C: FH (There is *NO* '\' between 'C:' and 'FH'!) The directory 'FH' is created automatically if it does not exist. Un-Installing the Program ───────────────────────── Since File_Handle can be evaluated without any modifications to the system, it can easely be removed from it too. Just delete all files from the directory you installed it in, and remove the directory. You can also 'uninstall' by removing the directory with File_Handle's own RmDir command issued from a TREE window. Short Program Instructions ────────────────────────── - Tree-Depth ────────── If you use File_Handle on the file systems which allow longer path names than the old DOS standard of 64 plus drive letter, it is re- commended that you don't use File_Handle in the deeper directories. File_Handle is a DOS program, and cannot (yet) deal fully with the longer path names, which may result in loss of data! - Top-Menu (Alt) ──────── Hold down Alt, and enter a highlight from the Top-menu. - Bottom-Menu (Alt+Space, Mouse: ■4 ... ■8) ─────────── The Bottom-menu works with function keys F1-F10, together with any combination of Shift/Ctrl/Alt. For easier control of this interface, press Alt+Space to open a menu containing all combinations. Use Up- and Down-arrow keys to pick a menu, and press the appropriate function key for the column. - Pick lists or pop-up menus work with Alt+Letter and also Up- and Down-arrow or the highlighted character followed by Enter. - Use F3 to accept (most) commands, not Enter. Tab opens the window. Mouse ───── If you have a mouse, use it, it will make your life so much easier while exploring File_Handle. All options can be controlled without the keyboard (except entering names, dates and times). Ordering ──────── The programs have a built in ordering system. Press Shift+F1 from the main screen to purchase your copy, or see the file ORDER.TXT. PS: See REVIEW.TXT for a quick first impression. ----- Additional Vendor Information ------------- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This section describes: - Distribution - CD-ROM Publishers - Package Description - Additional Catalog Texts ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Distribution Our normal distribution sequence is: o New versions are offered to our registered users and are automati- cally shipped to new registrants. o Major revisions and new products are released through SDN/ADN and the ASP and JCSM CD's. Also the CIS:ASPCD and CIS:PCUTIL forums on CompuServe (use File Finders and search for FHD*.*), and the SiMTel sites on the Internet; Use the search engines: http://www.yahoo.com -or- http://vsl.cnet.com and look for FHD. You can also visit Hasoft on the web at: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hasoft. o All ASP distribution members are included in the regular ASPCD mail- ing. This saves us both money and effort; if you are not an ASP ven- dor or bulletin board member, please consider joining. o I send copies of major revisions of this software to distributors who have notified me of their interest. If you are a shareware catalog house, send me a copy of the catalog in which the program (will) appear(s), and ask for a copy of the la- test revision of File_Handle. If you run a bulletin board, contact me, and I will upload the most recent revision. If you are a CD-ROM publisher, please read the next section below. Since all program copies are serialized according to whom they were originally sent, we are able to track registrations by vendor. As long as we receive registrations containing your number, we will continue to provide you with updates for File_Handle. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ CD-ROM Publishers If you want to include File_Handle (tm) on a shareware CD-ROM, please order the latest release directly from me, and consider including a logfile in the root directory. This logfile *MUST* be constructed by File_Handle; it has a proprietary format, and cannot be built easily in any other way. File_Handle CANNOT run from read-only media, it must be able to write to the directory it starts from. Remark: Be sure to fill in a UNIQUE VOLUME LABEL on the pre-image, or else your CD-ROM will have no identifiable name for many pro- grams! File_Handle, among others, needs it to positively iden- tify one CD-ROM from another. Its also a quick way to detect a media change. Use File_Handle's Label command (Ctrl+Shift+F4) to see the volume label. (WARNING: This could be the label of the drive with the pre-image, see 'Z' below). File_Handle uses the volume label and the Volume Table Of Con- tents (VTOC) to positively identify one CD-ROM from another. Please make sure each CD-ROM is unique. File_Handle will use the same FH_#xxxx.LOG file for all disks with equal labels and VTOC's. This is true only if the CD-ROM does not have its own FH_@.LOG in its root. Constructing a logfile containing a directory tree basically consists of the following simple steps: A - Install File_Handle on harddisk in a directory *NOT* in the pre- image, by just unarchiving the packed distribution file (if no un- packed version is on it). Or run it from a floppy. B - Go to the directory where File_Handle is located, and run FH.EXE. C - Press "Drive" (is F4, but may need Escape to reset bottom menu). D - Choose the drive containing the CD-ROM pre-image. E - Press Tree (F7) to construct the logfile. If the logfile already exists, BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY AND REBUILD THE TREE BY PRESSING Build (Ctrl+F4) to log any LAST-MINUTE modifications. F - Go back to the drive and directory where you started File_Handle by pressing Drive (F4). Locate a file named "FH_d.LOG" ('d' is the drive the pre-image is on) or, if the pre-image is on a removable "FH_#xxxx.LOG" in this directory. Check if the time and date are current! G - After you are sure there is no other file with this format, rename it using Alt+R to FH_@.LOG, and copy or move (Alt+C or M) it to the ROOT directory of your CD-ROM pre-image. H - Now log other drives and look at their trees. Log the pre-image once again, and make absolutely sure the tree shows the correct CD-data. (WARNING: You will *NOT* see the FH_@.LOG from the pre- image here, unless the pre-image is on a removable drive! (remova- ble to you may not mean removable for DOS (and File_Handle))) Please Read This: If the pre-image you produced is NOT AN EXACT copy of the CD-ROM, ex- tra steps are needed. The goal here will be to let File_Handle con- struct a directory tree starting from the subdirectory where the pre- image starts. This can be accomplished by simply SUBSTITUTING this 'root' directory to an unused driveletter. This may include the following steps: X - To create extra empty driveletters, you may need to add the follo- wing line to your CONFIG.SYS. 'F' below can be any letter from 'A' - 'Z'. DOS' default is 'E'. You may need to use another letter if 'F' is already used. Reboot after this modification. lastdrive = F: Y - Type the following command to link the pre-image to the new drive letter. Again, you may need to use another letter if 'F' is used already. It is assumed here that your pre-image is called PREIMAGE and is on drive D:. subst F: D:\PREIMAGE Z - Follow the procedure from A to C above. The new drive "F:" will be the root of your-soon-to-be CD-ROM, and File_Handle will accept it as such. To create a valid volume label, you might temporarily have to rename the volume label of the drive containing the pre- image. Use FH's Ctrl+Shift+F4 to do so. If any problems arise, I'll be happy to help you with this. If e- nough interested parties contact me, I will construct an automated logfile builder. This will actively reduce many pitfalls. Warning: Do not use a copy of File_Handle from the pre-image for the construction of the log file or other tasks; this will result in putting a MODIFIED copy of File_Handle on the CD-ROM. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Package Description First Release : April first, 1995 (Version 0.99) Description : File_Handle. <ASP> - File & Program manager. There are Lite and Regular versions of File_Handle. The Lite versions lack network support, limit win- dows to 500 entries, have only 10 free ARF links, and no printed manual. File_Handle is a professional File and Program Mana- ger for IBM-PC compatibles running MS-DOS compatible operating systems, as long as the program paths are kept within DOS' standard length of 64 characters. File_Handle Regular supports most networks too. It is basically a side-by-side display File and Pro- gram Manager, designed to be the back-bone of a ver- satile utility, for everyone who has to do serious file management on small or large systems, including networks and various removable drives. (See the section below for a long description) File_Handle is different to other managers because: o It has its own wildcard system that allows for embedded wildcards. This will, for instance, loca- te files on a given substring either at the start, end, or in the middle of a filename. o Its built in Finder locates any file on any para- meter on any drive or set of drives in the system. o File_Handle's Finder can do a (SYSTEM-WIDE!) copy, move, rename, set or reset Attributes, erase, etc. etc. The finder can load or save finder scripts. o It has powerful Compare/Select and Rename options. o It supports removable media like CD-ROM and MO drives. o It can break out of any ongoing activity, and can return to DOS from any position without closing any menus first. o It can remove Read-Only attributes from a complete directory or a complete branch of a tree. This is a valuable feature when copying programs from a CD-ROM to harddisk. o It has a Security-erase option for files and for free diskspace. o It shows all activity directly on screen; no sin- gle redraw after a long period of activity without feedback. o It has superb mouse control. Any option can be controlled by the mouse. o It has flexible logfile control, no rescanning of removable media necessary after exchanging media. o It features media exchange control. Inadvertently exchanged (or NOT exchanged, after such request) disks will be detected. o It sorts on any field. o It directly renames or sets attributes on a set of one or more files. (Also in the Finder). o It detects most types of media and free space on them. o It keeps track of copied/moved files so they can be erased or moved back when a wrong destination is chosen. o It handles external commands by way of an Associa- tive Response File. You can tell File_Handle which program(s) to use when you click on a certain file name or file type. Think editors/viewers/unarhi- vers, sound players, etc, etc. o All menu systems and inputfields remember their previous input. o The tree window shows directory totals. o It can shell from ANY menu or prompt. o Can still copy/move/erase/rename/... a single file without loosing an already made selection. o It adds, shows, edits and removes volume labels. o Menu doesn't close at every intermediate command. o The executer rescans the current directory, and flags any new files and subdirectories, after a program launch. o More, and much more to come... ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Additional Catalog Texts o It's,... File_Handle (tm), The Ultimate File & Program Manager o One of those utilities you'd miss if it wasn't there anymore. o Quickly find that file of a certain date, created between 11:00 am and.. o Where are those huge files, gobbling up diskspace? o Which directory contains so much data I can't run my applications anymore? o Where are the duplicates (if any) of this file.. o Which directory holds the most recent copies of these 1000 files? o Is this directory a duplicate of another? Which files are newer? o Didn't this misplaced data file have a 'D' in its name somewhere? At the first position?.. or at the end,.. or two from the end? Ever wondered about those programs that let you find one or more files and then don't offer much more than a view? Then íf and whén you find them (they offer only limited search options) you can't re- name, copy or move them. Don't even think about things like inspect- ing or changing attributes. Today, a typical computer system holds about 300-500 directories, and perhaps 5000-10000 files. Corporate servers typically can hold 5,000- 10,000 directories, and more than 100,000 files. The high numbers set the stage for total chaos if your disks are not properly maintained. It seems as if files wander over the disk(s), replicating themselves from one mutation to the next. This is the first of two reasons why people need bigger harddisks, the other is Windows (tm). At a certain point in time the user can no longer keep track of it all without assistance. There are numerous copies, forgotten temp-files, never removed files from achives which are rarely used, all taking up space, both for the unarchived files and the archive. There are .BAK files you never thought existed, also there are .OBJ, .MAP, .LST, .BAT files, etc. There is archived material you thought you'd thrown away, a directory with 500 fonts and you only use Courier and Times.... How easy is it to loose or misplace a file when there are so many scattered all over the place? How can anyone find something, e- specially when you're not sure EXACTLY what it is you're seeking? This is why File_Handle (tm) was (and still is) developed. It offers ways to get you out of the mess. The built in Finder will locate specific files for you, on any drive, on any set of drives. Even if you only know one or two letters of its name, no matter if those letters are at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. Even if you only know its size. Even if you only re- member which week you modified it last. The search and restriction parameters you supply will present a hit- list from which you can eliminate (hide) the unlikely ones until you end up with the one you where after (if it still exists). This list can be sorted in any way you like, file contents viewed or edited, obsolete files deleted, mutants copied, moved or renamed. All by merely clicking the mouse. Almost all the power from File_Handle's file manager is available to the Finder. You can divert your atten- tion to the problem you are solving, not how to work the program; reading documentation, scanning the index, etc. File_Handle's high level of consistency helps you do your job more quickly and efficiently. "Change the odds to your advantage by using File_Handle (tm) for your day-to-day work" ===== Warranty ========================================= ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This section describes: - Disclaimer - Agreement - Limited Warranty ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Disclaimer - Agreement Users of File_Handle must accept this disclaimer of warranty: FILE_HANDLE IS SUPPLIED AS IS. THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. THE AUTHOR ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF FILE_HANDLE. File_Handle is a "Shareware program", and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incen- tive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using and conti- nue to use File_Handle after a resonable trial period, you must make a registration payment to Hasoft, or stop using the program. You may not alter, reverse engineer, decompile, etc. the program or parts of the program in any way. Distributing, repackaging, or reselling of the software to third par- ties, other than under the rules of the Vendor/BBS license is not al- lowed. By ordering a license, you acknowledge that the file FH_NAME.CNF re- presents a trade secret and that you agree to protect it as such. You may not hand out, sell or lease this file. You acknowledge that full ownership rights to the Software will remain the exclusive property of the Author. All rights not expressly granted in this document, are reserved by the Author. Governing Law ───────────── Disputes under this agreement will be subject to binding arbitration by a Dutch Court of Law in the Arrondissement 's-Hertogenbosch. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Limited Warranty Hasoft warrants the diskette and documentation (registered versions), to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a PERIOD OF NI- NETY DAYS from the date of registration. Hasoft will replace the defective diskette and/or documentation and will fix serious bugs during this period. For problems involving a specific hardware or software environment, or feature, reported by the user within the warranted period, Hasoft re- serves the right to offer a full refund instead of modifying the pro- gram. ===== License for Use and Distribution ================= ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This section describes: - Ordering and Pricing - Definition of Shareware - What is an Unmodified Copy - General License Terms Time Limiting Limited Functionality Free Evaluation License Single-user and Group Licenses Site License Vendor or BBS License U.S. Government Information - Support Policy - Policy on Future Versions - The <ASP> Ombudsman Statement ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Ordering and Pricing If you entered this file from within the program's registration screen help, then you are already on your way to order and the prices will be computed while you complete all relevant fields. However, if you are reading this file by any other means, see the file ORDER.TXT, or start FH.EXE and press Shift+F1 to enter the built in ordering module. (It won't print any forms without your approval) ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Definition of Shareware Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details, some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with prin- ted manual. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific excep- tions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable qua- lity. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!). The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Sha- reware. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's com- mercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. The author places a trust on you, and expects you to be honest and pay if you are going to use it after the evaluation period. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee, if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ What is an Unmodified Copy An UNMODIFIED copy can be found on the diskette you'll receive after registering. Don't copy *YOUR* registration key file FH_NAME.CNF; in- side the archive is FH_PARMS.CNF, the shareware version of that file. It is sufficient to copy the large archived file starting with 'FHD', to have an UNMODIFIED working copy to hand out to your friend(s). An UNMODIFIED copy is also the archived file you download from a BBS, an information service; find at a software vendor or user group; on a CD-ROM; or (should) get from a friend. An UNMODIFIED copy can also be the complete disk with UNarchived files you get from some vendors or user groups. They put unarchived files on their disks to make the software more accessible to users who are uncomfortable with archives. In this case, You may give away copies of the whole shareware distribution diskette. A MODIFIED copy is a copy which has been started at least once. This starts the internal timekeeping. The receiver (your friend) shall un- willingly be violating the copyrights before his evaluation period has even started. If you want to upload File_Handle to a BBS, and you've got your copy from an information service like CompuServe; you have an archive with- out any reference to the version number. Please rename the UNMODIFIED archive to 'FHDnnn.*', where 'nnn' is the version number without the decimal point. i.e. FHD.ZIP becomes FHD110.ZIP for version 1.10. On the other hand, if you want to upload your FHDnnn.ZIP to an infor- mation service like Compuserve, please rename the archive first so the filename does *not* contain the version number. i.e. FHD110.ZIP beco- mes FHD.ZIP. Remember that Hasoft will upload new updates to the big- ger services also, so check first if the archive is already available. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ General License Terms The attached VENDINFO data record is hereby incorporated by reference. Any distribution satisfying all the distribution requirements expres- sed in that data record is hereby authorized. Vendors and sysops can use the Vendprcs program to extract the specifics from VENDINFO.DIZ. Individuals are hereby granted permission to make *EVALUATION* copies of the original *UNREGISTERED* program File_Handle to give to anyone. You are *PROHIBITED* to pass on MODIFIED copies of File_Handle; copies of the registration key file FH_NAME.CNF; and the other extra files that are distributed only with the registration package.

All rights not expressly granted in this document, are reserved by the Author. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Time Limiting An unregistered version of File_Handle uses small delays, to make sure you see certain messages. It also uses reminder screens that keep the user aware that File_Handle is NOT a free program. After the evalua- tion period has expired, File_Handle will remain *fully* functional, but it will limit the intake of keyboard/mouse operations to about 3-4 per second, and will put in a delay for each overrun for an amount of time proportional to the number of uses and total time in-use. Regis- tration of File_Handle will provide means to remove *all* limiting. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Limited Functionality The unregistered Regular versions of File_Handle restrict the number of files and directories to 500 per window and free ARF-links to 10. The Lite versions, registered or not, restrict the number of files and directories to 500 per window, have no support for networks, and have no printed manual (the online help should suffice here). Lite versions are economic or low-cost hobby versions. After ordering, you'll receive a copy with the appropriate limitations removed. Fill out the order form in the program; just press Shift+F1 from the main screen. If you are just reading this info from outside the program, see the file ORDER.TXT for more information. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Free Evaluation License See Disclaimer - Agreement section, it applies to this license too. You are automatically granted a free license to evaluate this product for THIRTY DAYS. After that period you either stop using this program, or register it. See the registration screen (Shift+F1 in main screen) and the files REGISTER.TXT, ORDER.TXT, and also below for details. You are encouraged to pass a free copy of File_Handle along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. Quality shareware cannot be produ- ced without support from many users. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Single-user and Group Licenses See Disclaimer - Agreement section, it applies to this license too. The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An ex- ample is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is NO POSSIBILITY of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. All registering users will receive a copy of the latest version of the program and a printed manual. The registered version has YOUR NAME on the main screen, shows no re- minder screens, and doesn't have the small delays. Also you have one full year of free technical support. The license is for internal use only, you may not hand out, lease or sell copies of the program with your name on it, and you may not sell or lease copies of the shareware version. You may, however, GIVE away *UNMODIFIED* copies (from the distribution diskette) of the program, *WITHOUT* the file FH_NAME.CNF. See Policy on Future Versions below. See Support Policy below. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Site or Server License See Disclaimer - Agreement section, it applies to this license too. The registration fee will license you (your company) to use as many copies of the software at that single site - or, in case of a server, the number of workstations on that single server - as you (your com- pany) registered for. If you (your company) has more sites or servers, you need a license for each separate site or server. The license is for internal use only, you (your company) may not hand out, lease or sell copies with your company name on it, and you may not sell or lease copies of the shareware version. You (your company) however, may GIVE away UNMODIFIED copies (from the distribution diskette) of the program, WITHOUT the file FH_NAME.CNF. Choose 'Site' license in the registration screen (Shift+F1 in the main screen), and pick the appropriate number of systems. The registered version has YOUR COMPANY NAME on the main screen, shows no reminder screens, and doesn't have the small delays. Also you have one full year of free technical support. You will receive a single copy of the latest version of the program and a number of printed manuals. You (your company) takes care of ma- king copies for the requested number of systems, or place it on a ser- ver connected with the requested number of workstations. Individual users of your company are NOT to place support calls to Ha- soft. You (your company) appoints a supervisor, who will resolve any internal problems. ALL SUPPORT calls to Hasoft has to go through this 'Contact'. So include the name and telephone number of this person. See Policy on Future Versions below. See Support Policy below. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Vendor or BBS License Anyone distributing File_Handle for any kind of remuneration must first contact the Author for authorization. Use the Vendprcs program to extract the specifics from VENDINFO.DIZ. This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors re- cognized by the <ASP> as adhering to its guidelines for shareware dis- tributors and to BBS's, and such distributors may begin offering File_Handle immediately (However Hasoft must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of the program, and a unique vendor code can be assigned to the distributor). You may not ask any compensation for the software itself, only for the distribution service you provide. As an authorized shareware distributor, you have permission to distri- bute our shareware in its original electronic form. Directly following 'Installation' is the VENDOR section. It has a few paragraphs about Vendors, BBS's and CD-ROM publishers. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── U.S. Government Information Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government of the computer software and documentation in this package shall be subject to the re- stricted rights applicable to commercial computer software as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at 252.227-7013 (DFARS 52.227-7013). ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Support Policy One full year of free technical support comes with registering. What ever you do, don't pick up the phone to make a support call befo- re at least taking some effort to solve the problem yourself by first reading the manual and the files MANUAL.TXT, FH_QUICK.TXT and, if it's there, the file FH_NEWS.TXT. It's not Hasoft's responsibility to learn you how to work with DOS or WINDOWS, format and partition a harddisk, create backups or subdirec- tories. Visit or join a local computer club for such problems, they're always happy to help fellow computerists. It's not even Hasoft's responsibility to learn you File_Handle's keys and mouse controls, how to copy a file, rename a directory. You can find all those features described in the accompanying support files mentioned above. FH_QUICK.TXT contains all relevant keyboard and mouse codes; print this file to get a quick-reference list. File MANUAL.TXT describes installation and setup procedures for special modes of operation, should you need them; look up chapters Installing and Configuring File_Handle. Hasoft will of course offer support for File_Handle-related PROBLEMS. On the other hand, if you really don't understand something in the program or the documentation, it could be a program or documentation bug. I sure would like to know about it, in that case.

By telephone: During European business hours, at +31 (0)416 351 469 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Policy on Future Versions Your lifetime registration license applies to the MAJOR version you receive after you register. You need to register again when you want to use a next major X.xx release, for which registered users are offe- red a substantial discount. (Hasoft sometimes offers free MAJOR upgra- ding) All versions with a higher MINOR version number (.xx, bug fixes, etc.) can be freely shared and/or up/downloaded to/from any BBS. The key file FH_NAME.CNF you receive after registering will be valid within the MAJOR version, up to and including X.99. This FH_NAME.CNF file and the goodies are for registerants only, and may *NOT* be free- ly distributed! Hasoft cannot be obligated to distribute future releases for free to registered users. Users can get a free upgrade from CompuServe forums PCUTIL LIB 5 and ASPCD LIB 19; your local BBS; from the SimTel site on the Internet. Look for the filename FHD*.*. Your registration key file FH_NAME.CNF converts the (minor) upgrade into a registered version. ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The ASP Ombudsman ┌─────────┐ ┌─────┴───┐ │ (R) ──│ │O │────────────────── │ ┌─────┴╨──┐ │ Association of │ │ ├─┘ Shareware └───┤ O │ Professionals ──────│ ║ │──────────────────── └────╨────┘ Member This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).

Hasoft might have moved, the phone numbers changed, etc. ===== 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. ===== Compressed Data Record Follows =================== PK &C èRnα £# VENDDATA.ï * - ' &7 F % .
