CHANGE EXTENSION 2.0b

====================================================
Windows 95 has made a lot of things easier, but should
you ever have a file with the wrong extension, it can
be extremely tedious trying to get Windows 95 to let
you change its file type. Changext makes this simple.
To install Change Extension, simply copy "Change
Extension.EXE" into a directory of your choice.
Then create a shortcut to Change Extension.EXE in your
\Windows\SendTo folder.
You also need the Visual Basic 4.0 runtime libraries
in your system folder. If you don't have them, get
the file http://www.inpros.com/Hollander/vb4run.zip and
unzip it into your System folder.
(get it - you'll need it for other apps too, and not
just mine!)
To change the extension of a file, simply right-click
on the file, and choose Change Extension) from the
SendTo submenu.
Note the extension does NOT need to be three characters,
you can give a file a .HTML or .JPEG or whatever and
new Win95 apps should recognise them fine.
Version 2.0a fixes a problem with 2.0 in renaming files
which have no extension to start with.
Version 2.0b fixes a problem in renaming hidden and
system files, and directories.
If you like CHANGEXT, send me some e-mail at
tholland@pcug.org.au or h3023355@toscanini.anu.edu.au.
There are lots more free and shareware apps on my
home page at http://www.pcug.org.au/~tholland
Also mail me if you have need any custom-developed
Windows 3.x / 95 software!
