Introduction to Mijenix WizManager
Introduction to WizManager

Welcome to WizManager !

WizManager is a powerful "add-on" which greatly extends Windows' File Manager capabilities. It appends many features missing in File Manager, and enhances your power to manage your disks and files.  WizManager is automatically loaded when File Manager starts and is removed from memory when the latter closes.  You do not have to intervene -- once installed, WizManager becomes entirely part of File Manager, just like standard features.

The WizManager additions are multi-faceted and can be categorized as belonging to four main sets of powerful tools:

 	Fast Access Buttonbar

 	Launchbar

 	Utilities

 	Command Line Box

WizManager is the result of listening to the wishes of many File Manager users and implementing those suggestions into a totally compatible software package.  Many of WizManager's features have repeatedly been asked for in the past and are now made available to you.  With WizManager, using File Manager becomes easier, more useful and much more enjoyable.

Quick Tips

Here are a few quick tips to get you started or to give you some indications on how to use WizManager more efficiently.

WizManager Buttonbar

The Buttonbar is a set of shortcuts to the File Manager menu commands and to the WizManager features. Clicking with the left mouse button on any button will immediately start the corresponding command. Files and directories can also be dragged and dropped onto the Buttonbar. The activated button on which the files and directories were dropped will automatically launch the corresponding File Manager or WizManager command.

Depending on your system video resolution, ten (VGA 640x480 pixels), nineteen (SuperVGA 800x600 pixels), twenty six (SuperVGA 1024x768 pixels) or thirty six (SuperVGA 1280x1024 pixels) icons can be simultaneously displayed in the Buttonbar. The higher the resolution, the more icons you have available without scrolling.

Scroll the Buttonbar?

What is this button?

Change the order of the buttons, remove buttons?

Specify the number of buttons displayed and the number of buttons scrolled?

WizManager Launchbar

The Launchbar is a powerful tool and is like a Program Manager built-into File Manager. It allows you to set buttons which will automatically launch DOS and Windows programs or open files. Files can also be dragged and dropped onto the Launchbar. The application corresponding to the button to which the files were dropped to will automatically open the files.

If the Launchbar is not displayed at the top of File Manager, select Launchbar from the Display/Hide menu in the WizManager menu.

Like for the Buttonbar, your video resolution limits the number of buttons displayed simultaneously in the Launchbar (i.e. there are more buttons available 'behind' the set displayed). To access the rest of the buttons, simply scroll the Launchbar.

Scroll the Launchbar?

What is this button?

Customize Launchbar, add buttons?

Specify the number of buttons displayed and the number of buttons scrolled?

Command Line Box

The Command Line Box is displayed at the left side of the Buttonbar. The caret of the Command Line Box edit field is blinking when the Command Line Box is active and ready to receive your commands.

Quickly switch to the Command Line Box?

What is displayed above the Command Line Box?

What commands?

Repeat commands?

Interrupt a command?

Work with the files displayed in File Manager directory window?

Access DOS internal commands?

Same name?

Utilities

With WizManager, you also get many utilities. Below you will find hints on what you can do with some of them:

Do you frequently use certain commands or applications?

Do you wish to quickly minimize all running applications or see which ones are running?

Do you need your system information or disk(s) information?

Do you wish to start multiple files or start a file which doesn't have an association?

Do you want to print the directory listing displayed in File manager?

Is your disk full, but you have to find some room for an additional program?

Do you have to leave your station but you don't want anyone to see or touch your data while you are gone, and you don't want to turn your computer down?

There are many more utilities like exiting or restarting Windows, rebooting your system, accessing the different Control Panel functions directly, etc. As you use WizManager, you will quickly familiarize yourself with most of them and enjoy the WizManager functionalities.

Introduction to WizManager


How to Use the Command Line Box
WizManager Command Line Box

The Command Line Box, located on the left of the Buttonbar, is much more than the simple Run command found in the File menu. Most DOS internal commands and many external commands have been implemented in WizManager itself and are available directly within File Manager.

Because the Command Line Box is part of File Manager, all WizManager DOS commands, like COPY, DEL, ATTRIB, etc., are executed in Windows, without shelling out to DOS. The result could be called DOS in Windows: it is fast, convenient and powerful. With WizManager Command Line Box, you get the best of  both worlds:  Windows and DOS.

The caret of the Command Line Box edit field is blinking when the Command Line Box is active and ready to receive your commands.

How to Use the Buttonbar
WizManager Buttonbar

WizManager's Buttonbar gives you a quick way to execute File Manager and WizManager commands. You don't need to browse through the different menus, all File Manager and WizManager functions are right under your finger. Click with the left mouse button on any button and the corresponding command will immediately start. You can also drag and drop files and directories to the Buttonbar.  The activated button on which the files and directories were dropped will automatically launch the corresponding File Manager or WizManager command.

If the Buttonbar is not displayed at the top of File Manager, select Buttonbar from the Display/Hide menu in the WizManager menu. This command allows you to display or hide the Buttonbar and the Command Line Box.

Your video resolution limits the number of buttons displayed simultaneously in the Buttonbar (i.e. there are more buttons available 'behind' the set displayed). To access the rest of the buttons, simply scroll the Buttonbar.

Launchbar Topic
Launchbar

The Launchbar is a powerful tool and is like a Program Manager built-into File Manager. It allows you to set buttons which will automatically launch DOS and Windows programs or open files. Files can also be dragged and dropped onto the Launchbar. The application corresponding to the button to which the files were dropped to will automatically open the files.

If the Launchbar is not displayed at the top of File Manager, select Launchbar from the Display/Hide menu in the WizManager menu.

Your video resolution limits the number of buttons displayed simultaneously in the Launchbar (i.e. there are more buttons available 'behind' the set displayed). To access the rest of the buttons, simply scroll the Launchbar.

Scroll the Launchbar?

Customize Launchbar, add buttons?

Customize Launchbar

Select Customize | Launchbar from the WizManager menu to access the Customize Launchbar dialog.

The Customize Launchbar dialog allows you to reorganize the Launchbar's button order, add or remove buttons, set the number of buttons displayed, and specify the number of buttons scrolled per scroll increment.  You can also specify the respective position of the Launchbar in File Manager with respect to the Buttonbar, and specify if you wish to display the Launchbar with small buttons/icons.

To reorganize/customize your Launchbar:

To optimize your work with the Launchbar, move the most often used buttons to the beginning of the Launchbar and the least often used to the end.

To move a button, simply drag and drop it to its new location using the mouse.

To add a button in the Launchbar, select the New Button button.

To modify a button, click on it in the Launchbar. A Modify Launchbar Button dialog will be displayed which lets you customize the buttons description, action and icon.

To remove a button from the Launchbar, click on it and then select the 'Delete Button' button in the displayed dialog.

To modify the number of buttons displayed:

If you are not using File Manager in its full width, it is necessary to reduce the number of buttons displayed in the Launchbar in order to have access to all the buttons when the Launchbar is scrolled. Select the number of buttons which should be displayed in the Launchbar from the number of buttons displayed per button page list.

To modify the number of buttons scrolled:

When the Launchbar is scrolled, WizManager refreshes as many buttons as are displayed in the Launchbar (button page). However, it is possible to reduce the number of buttons scrolled each time by selecting the desired number from the scroll increment list.

To position the Launchbar :

With the Display Launchbar above the Buttonbar check box, you can specify whether the Launchbar or the Buttonbar should be the topmost bar displayed. Check the box if you wish to have the Launchbar as the first bar and uncheck it if you wish to have the Buttonbar as the first bar in File Manager.

To set the size of the button:

With the Use small buttons in Launchbar check box, you can specify whether the Launchbar should display its buttons in normal full size or if it should reduce the buttons and their icons/pictures. Check the box if you wish to have the Launchbar with small buttons.

Note:  The small button icons are obtained from the regular icons with a reduction process. This procedure is not instantaneous and if the Launchbar contains a lot of buttons, File Manager's startup time can be slightly increased when small buttons are used.

Quick Tips


Script File

A WizManager script file is a text file which contains a sequence of commands which can be executed by WizManager (similar to DOS batch files).

Script files are used to automate repetitive tasks or simplify the execution of multiple commands.

WizManager script files must be unformatted ASCII (text) files and must have the .WIZ extension to be recognized by WizManager.  To execute a script file, type its path, filename and extension in the Command Line Box, or in the Run dialog, or double click its filename in File Manager's directory window.  WizManager script files can only be executed if File Manager and WizManager are running.

Because Windows doesn't pass entered parameters along with filenames to associated applications, only parameters entered in the Command Line Box will be transferred for execution.

A script can include:

-	Any command which can be executed from the Command Line Box (WizManager commands, DOS commands, filenames, DOS programs, Windows programs, etc.).

-	Replaceable parameters (%1 through %9) which are placeholders for parameters typed at the command prompt (see DOS manual) or entered with the ENTERPARAM or ENTERNEWPARAM script commands.

-	Script Commands .


Script Commands

Script commands:

REM

Placed at the beginning of a line, it transforms the line into a comment. The line is ignored by WizManager.

ENTERPARAM [Text in dialog]

Displays a dialog box which allows the user to optionally enter new parameters which then become usable variables for the replaceable parameters %0 through %9.

If no parameter is entered after ENTERPARAM, 'Enter parameters:' is displayed in the dialog.

Because Windows doesn't pass parameters to associated applications, the ENTERPARAM command is particularly useful when a script is most often used from a File/Run command or is started by double clicking its name in the File Manager directory window. ENTERPARAM allows the user to still enter parameters in the latter cases. Parameters entered after a script filename are recognized if entered from the Command Line Box.

ENTERPARAM can be used multiple times in a script to prompt the user to enter new parameters for the following lines in the script. The previous parameters (if any) are displayed as default in the dialog.

ENTERNEWPARAM [Text in dialog]

Is equivalent to ENTERPARAM except that previous parameters are not displayed as default.

PAUSE [text to display]

Opens a dialog box which displays the text entered after PAUSE. If no text is entered then 'Continue?' is displayed as default. Ok and Cancel buttons are displayed. Selecting Ok (default button) continues the script, selecting Cancel aborts the script.

PAUSE![text to display]

Is equivalent to PAUSE except that an exclamation point icon is displayed.

PAUSE? [text to display]

Is equivalent to PAUSE except that a question mark icon is displayed.

ECHO <text to display>

Is similar to PAUSE except that only an Ok button is displayed. ECHO without a text to display parameter is ignored.

ECHO! <text to display>

Is equivalent to ECHO except that an exclamation point icon is displayed.

ECHO? <text to display>

Is equivalent to ECHO except that a question mark icon is displayed.

Customize Buttonbar

Select Customize | Buttonbar from the WizManager menu to access the Customize Buttonbar dialog.

The Customize Buttonbar dialog allows you to reorganize the Buttonbar's button order, add or remove buttons, set the number of buttons displayed, and specify the number of buttons scrolled per scroll increment.  You can also specify the respective position of the Buttonbar in File Manager with respect to the Launchbar.

The Customize Buttonbar dialog presents two buttonbars: The top bar is a replica of the actual Buttonbar and the bottom bar (Additional Buttons bar) is a set of additional buttons. This latter bar is used to add or remove buttons from the Buttonbar.

To reorganize your Buttonbar:

To optimize your work with the Buttonbar, move the most often used buttons to the beginning of the Buttonbar and the least often used to the end. To move a button, simply drag and drop it to its new location using the mouse. To add a button to the Buttonbar, drag it from the 'Additional Buttons' bar to the Buttonbar. To remove a button from the Buttonbar, drag it from the Buttonbar to the 'Additional Buttons' bar.

If you wish to reset the Buttonbar button order and contents back to its default, select the Reset button.

To modify the number of buttons displayed:

If you are not using File Manager in its full width, it is necessary to reduce the number of buttons displayed in the Buttonbar in order to have access to all the buttons when the Buttonbar is scrolled. Select the number of buttons which should be displayed in the Buttonbar from the number of buttons displayed per button page list.

To modify the number of buttons scrolled:

When the Buttonbar is scrolled, WizManager refreshes as many buttons as are displayed in the Buttonbar (button page). However, it is possible to reduce the number of buttons scrolled each time by selecting the desired number from the scroll increment list.

To position the Buttonbar:

With the Display Buttonbar below Launchbar check box, you can specify whether the Buttonbar or the Launchbar should be the topmost bar displayed. Check the box if you wish to have the Launchbar as the first bar and uncheck it if you wish to have the Buttonbar as the first bar in File Manager.

Limited Warranty

LIMITED WARRANTY.  This program is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Shareware Concept

What is shareware?

Contrary to popular belief, shareware is not a type of software, but a method of marketing software. It is a marketing plan based entirely on trust between the owner of the shareware program and you, the user. Shareware is copyrighted software which you can try before buying. This is a great concept which allows you to use the program during a limited time, (21 days for Mijenix Corporation's WizManager), and evaluate its features on your terms. In many cases, shareware programs are as good, or even better, than software available only through normal retail channels. Because shareware is marketed at reduced cost, buying shareware programs allows you to save money and helps shareware authors to continue providing innovative, useful and affordable programs.

Registering shareware?

Shareware authors release programs with an element of trust, expecting payment if a program is used past the evaluation period. When users register shareware programs they find useful, they receive in return the right to use the program.

When you register and buy Mijenix Corporation's WizManager you receive the full-featured registered and enhanced version of WizManager (latest version). In addition, you receive additional utilities, an in-depth user's manual, new release information, special upgrade offers, and 90 days of free technical support.

Control Panel

Purpose:	Opens the Control Panel 386 Enhanced dialog which allows you to optimize Windows for 386 Enhanced Mode.

Syntax:	386  [/?]

Switch:	/?  Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	By using the 386 Enhanced option, you can specify how Windows controls simultaneous requests from applications for devices, such as printers and modems. You can also determine how Windows should allocate time slices and computer resources when both Windows applications and non-Windows applications are running at the same time. Settings for swap files, and the use of 32-bit disk access can also be specified.

NOTE: This option is available only on systems which can run Windows in 386 Enhanced Mode.


About Command
About

Internal

Purpose:	Displays WizManager About dialog.

Syntax:	ABOUT  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	WizManager About dialog displays information about WizManager  version number, Windows running mode, and memory usage. It also lists the different channels through which you can contact Mijenix (Tel, fax, CompuServe, EMail, etc.).


Associate Command
Associate

File Manager

Purpose:	Opens File Manager Associate dialog which allows you to associate a file with an application so that the application starts when you open the file (or any other file that has the same extension).

Syntax:	ASSOCIATE  [/?]

Switch:	/?  Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	When you associate a file with an application, you can open the file and start the application at the same time. If a file is associated with an application, there is a document-file icon (lined document icon) next to the filename in the File Manager directory window.

A file having an association can be launched from WizManager's Command Line Box without specifying the application. The file's extension is used to recognize its association to an application.


Attrib or AttribQ Command
Attrib,  AttribQ

Internal

Purpose:	Changes or displays file(s) or subdirectory attributes.

Syntax:	ATTRIB [+a|-a] [+s|-s] [+h|-h] [+r|-r] [drive:][path] filename [/P /N /?]

or

ATTRIBQ [+a|-a] [+s|-s] [+h|-h] [+r|-r] [drive:][path] filename [/N /?]

Parameters:	[drive:][path] filename	Specifies the location and name of the file or set of files whose attribute(s) will be changed or displayed.

Switches:	+a	Sets the archive file attribute.

-a	Clears the archive file attribute.

+s	Sets the file as a system file.

-s	Clears the system file attribute.

+h	Sets the file as a hidden file.

-h	Clears the hidden file attribute.

+r	Sets the read-only file attribute.

-r	Clears the read-only file attribute.

/P 	Prompts to confirm each file before its attributes are changed.

/N	No confirmation.

/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	The ATTRIB command lets you set [+] or clear [-] any attribute(s) for any file, group of files, or subdirectory. You can view file attributes by entering ATTRIB without specifying new attributes (i.e. without the switches part of the syntax). Wildcards (? and *) can be used with the filename parameter to display or change the attributes for a group of files.

Every file and subdirectory has 4 attributes that can be set or cleared: Archive, System, Hidden, and Read-Only. The Archive attribute is set every time a file is updated or changed. Backup utilities often use this attribute to find files that have changed since the last general backup.

By default, when wildcards are used, files with the System or Hidden attribute set are not included in the execution of the Copy, Move, Delete, Rename or Dir command. Nevertheless, these commands have specific switches to include the latter files. You can also customize the file inclusion in WizManager Preferences.

Unless you specify otherwise in the Preferences, WizManager will display a confirmation dialog if you try to delete or rename a file with either the System, Hidden or Read-Only attribute set.

You can press the ESC key (Escape key) at any time to interrupt ATTRIB.

The ATTRIBQ command has the same format as the ATTRIB command. ATTRIBQ automatically asks you to confirm the attribute change of each file before the command is actually executed. ATTRIBQ is most useful when used with the wildcards characters ? and * to change attributes of a group of files. ATTRIBQ is equivalent to ATTRIB with /P switch.

Examples:	To display the file attributes in the subdirectory DOCUMENT,

type:  attrib \document

To set the Archive attribute to all the files with the extension .DRW,

type:  attrib +a *.drw

To clear the Read-Only attribute of the file RESULTS.TXT,

type:  attrib -r results.txt


Cascade Command
Cascade

File Manager

Purpose:	Arranges File Manager directory windows so that they overlap.

Syntax:	CASCADE  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	This command arranges the File Manager directory windows so that they overlap, like cards. The title bar of each window remains visible, making it easy for you to select any window.


CD or ChDir Command
CD or ChDir

Internal

Purpose:	Changes the current directory.

Syntax:	CHDIR [drive:][dirpath]  [/?]

or

CD [drive:][dirpath]  [/?]

Parameters:	[drive:]	Specifies the drive name.

[dirpath]	Specifies the directory path to change to.

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	The Change Directory command (CHDIR or its short form CD) lets you navigate (move) through the directory structure of your disk and change the current working directory. If you enter CD and a directory name, the named directory becomes the new current directory.

Examples:	To move from the root directory C:\ to the subdirectory C:\CLIENTS\SMITH,

type:  cd \clients\smith

To move from C:\ to the drive and subdirectory D:\PROJECT,

type:  cd d:\project

To move to the root directory,

type:  cd \

To move to the parent directory,

type:  cd ..

To move to the sibling directory JONES,

type:  cd ..\jones


CloseBar Command
CloseBar

Internal

Purpose:	Closes WizManager Buttonbar.

Syntax:	CLOSEBAR  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	The command CLOSEBAR is used to close the Buttonbar. When the Buttonbar is turned off, the screen space occupied by the Buttonbar is freed for File Manager directory windows. This may be useful when a maximum amount of information should be displayed within the File Manager window.

To have the Buttonbar displayed again, select the Buttonbar command from the WizManager menu.


Close Command
Close

Internal

Purpose:	Closes running applications.

Syntax:	CLOSE  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	The command CLOSE lets you close any application currently running in Windows. The command displays the name of each application and asks you to confirm the termination. This allows you to decide whether or not to close any application.

Note:  You have to quit any DOS application before you can close it.


Color Command
Color

Control Panel

Purpose:	Opens the Control Panel Color dialog which allows you to change the Windows screen colors.

Syntax:	COLOR  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays help information for the command.

Usage:	By using the Control Panel Color option, you can change the colors of most of the Windows desktop elements.


Copy or CopyQ Command
Copy,  CopyQ

Internal

Purpose:	Copies one or more files to another location. A file can be copied to a disk, directory, file, or  physical hardware device (such as a printer or serial port).

Syntax:	COPY source [destination] [/A /H /S /P /N /V /?]

or

COPYQ source [destination] [/A /H /S /N /V /?]

Parameters:	source	Specifies the path and name of a file or set of files or a directory or a device to copy from.

destination	Specifies the path and name of a file or a directory or a device to copy to.

Switches:	/A 	Includes system and hidden files.

/H 	Includes hidden files.

/S 	Includes system files.

/P 	Prompts to confirm each file before it is copied.

/N	No confirmation prompt.

/V 	Verifies that files are written correctly. Destination file content and source file content are compared to assess the accuracy of the copying process.

/?	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	The most common use of COPY is to make a copy of one or more files to another location either on the same disk or another disk. However, COPY can also be used to combine files together into one file, to view files, and to send files to a printer or communication port.

If the destination specification is omitted, a copy is created  in the current directory on the current drive, with the same name, creation date, and creation time as the original file. It is not possible to copy a file onto itself. Wildcards (? and *) can be used in the source and the destination file specifications.

A confirmation dialog is displayed if the destination file specification matches one already on the destination drive.

If the destination specification  is a drive, directory, or device name then the source files are copied individually to the new location.  If the destination specification is a file name, the first source file is copied to the destination, and any additional source files are then appended to the new destination file.

DOS file naming conventions have to be followed when renaming files during a copy.

You can press the ESC key (Escape key) at any time to interrupt COPY.

The COPYQ command has the same format as the COPY command. COPYQ automatically displays the name of the file to copy and asks you for confirmation before completing the copy. COPYQ is most useful when used with the wildcard characters ? and * to copy a group of files. COPYQ is equivalent to COPY with /P switch.

Examples: 	To copy (duplicate) the file REPORT.TXT in the same directory  and name the copy REPORT.BAK,

type :  copy report.txt report.bak

To copy all the files in the current directory of  the floppy drive a: to the current working directory,

type:  copy a:*.*

To copy all the files in the subdirectory \PROJECT to the subdirectory \ARCHIVE,

type:  copy \project \archive

To copy (append) all the files with the .DOC extension in the current directory into the single file REPORT.TXT,

type:  copy *.doc report.txt

To copy (display) the file SHOWME.TXT to the screen,

type:  copy showme.txt con


CustBar Command
CustBar

Internal

Purpose:	Opens WizManager Customize Buttonbar dialog which allows you to set the button order of the Buttonbar.

Syntax:	CUSTBAR  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

Usage:	The default order of the buttons in the Buttonbar may not fit your actual needs. If you experience frequent scrolling of the Buttonbar you should reorganize and customize your Buttonbar. The Buttonbar customization is simple: click (select) the button in the listbox whose position you wish to change. Thef use Move Up or Move Down to move the activated button further to the front or to the back of the Buttonbar. Once satisfied with the modifications, select OK to save your configuration and reconstruct the Buttonbar according to your preferences.

If you wish to reset the button order to the original default order, select the Reset button.


CustLnch Command
CustLnch

Internal

Purpose:	Opens WizManager Customize Launch Menus dialog which allows you to setup the launch menu.

Syntax:	CUSTLNCH  [/?]

Switch:	/? 	Displays this command help topic.

If the destination specification is omitted, the move is done to the current directory on the current drive, keeping the same file name, creation date, and creation time. It is not possible to move a file onto itself. Wildcards (? and *) can be used in the source and the destination file specifications.

A confirmation dialog is displayed if the destination file specification matches one already on the destination drive.

If the destination specification  is a drive or directory name, then the source files are move individually to the new location.

To change the Command Line Box current directory to the directory CLIENTS located beneath the active File Manager directory window, type:  cd ;\clients

To copy all the files from the active File Manager directory window to the A: drive, type:  copy ;\*.* a:

To create the directory PROJECT in the active File Manager directory window, type:  md ;\project

Note:	For all commands, entering the path shortcut symbol alone or followed by a BackSlash (\)  is equivalent, i.e. for example, typing cd ;\clients is equivalent to typing  cd ;clients.

DOS PIF File

When WizManager opens a DOS Prompt session, it executes the program named COMMAND.COM through a PIF configuration file specified in the DOS PIF File Preferences.

DOSPRMPT.PIF is the default configuration file which is installed in your Windows directory when Windows is installed. DOSPRMPT.PIF is also the default configuration file preset by WizManager. To enter the path and filename of a different configuration file, select the Preferences menu item in the WizManager menu, then select the DOS PIF File... button in the System Setup group.

The DOS PIF configuration file controls several facets of the way COMMAND.COM is launched from the DOS Prompt command. You can set or modify a PIF file using the Windows application PIFEDIT.EXE. Refer to the "PIF Editor" chapter of your Windows User's Guide for detailed information on how to customize a PIF file.

You can set a different path or a different PIF file than DOSPRMPT.PIF in the DOS PIF File Preferences dialog. Enter the PIF path and filename in the edit field or select Browse to browse through your drives and directories and find the appropriate PIF file.

Search Options

Before performing a search for files, you must verify that the search criteria are set according to your search needs. Be aware that every additional condition you specify will narrow the number of files found.  Important: It is not necessary to specify every condition to perform a search.

Here are the different search options and their meaning:

Option	Description

____________________________________________________________________________

Find Files	Enter the filename of the file you are looking for in this field (wildcards are allowed). If you don't know or remember the name of the file, leave the default [All Files] as it will ignore any condition on the name of the file.

With text	If you wish to retrieve a file or files which contain a specific string, enter the text in this field, or leave the box blank if you wish to ignore this condition.

Note:  A file search is significantly slowed down if a search string is specified as the search procedure has to scan every file's contents during the search.

Search	Specify either a search path or select one or more drives on which the search should be performed.

Attributes	This set of check boxes enables you to limit the search to files which must have at least one of the checked attributes. Many files do not have any attributes, so make sure that the Without Attributes check box is checked if you are making a global search.

Date	The date condition lets you specify a search condition based on the file(s) creation date. Select the condition from the Date combo drop and then enter a date or date range. The date format is mm/dd/yy  (month/day/year).

Time	The time condition lets you specify a search condition based on the file(s) creation time. Select the condition from the Time combo drop and then enter a time or time range. The time format is hh:mm  (hour/minutes). Valid hours must be between 0-23 and minutes between 0-59.

Size	The size condition lets you specify a search condition based on the file(s) size. Select the condition from the Size combo drop and then enter a size or size range. The size is in byes and must be a numerical value without punctuation (no comma (,), period (.) or other characters).

Duplicates Search Options

Before performing a search for duplicate files, you must verify that the search criteria are set according to your search needs. Be aware that every additional condition you specify will narrow the number of files found.  Important: It is not necessary to specify every condition to perform a search for duplicates.

Here are the different search options and their meaning:

Option	Description

____________________________________________________________________________

Find Files	Enter the filename of the file you are looking for in this field (wildcards are allowed). If you wish to scan all the files, leave the default [All Files] as it will ignore any condition on the name of the duplicate files to be found.

With text	If you wish to retrieve duplicate files which contain a specific string, enter the text in this field, or leave the box blank if you wish to ignore this condition.

Note:  A search for duplicates is significantly slowed down if a search string is specified as the search procedure has to scan every file's contents during the search.

Search	Specify either a search path or select one or more drives on which the search  for duplicates should be performed.

Match by	Specify how the duplicate files should match i.e. by file name, file size, file date, file time AND/OR file CRC (a CRC check verifies that the contents of the duplicate files are exactly the same).

Attributes	This set of check boxes enables you to limit the duplicates search to files which must have at least one of the checked attributes. Many files do not have any attributes, so make sure that the Without Attributes check box is checked if you are making a global search for duplicates.

Date	The date condition lets you specify a search condition based on the files creation date. Select the condition from the Date combo drop and then enter a date or date range. The date format is mm/dd/yy  (month/day/year).

Duplicates Search Results

If files matching the duplicates search criteria are found, Find Duplicates will display a Duplicates Found dialog listing all the matching files. Matching files are grouped together, each group being separated by a light gray line from the next group.

Each file is presented with the following information:

File Icon.

File Size.

File Date and Time.

File Attribute.

File Path and Name.

The size of the icon or the presence of icons in the file list can be customized in the Preferences dialog.

The file list in the Duplicates Found dialog can be sorted by file name, file extension, file size, file date, file time or file attributes.

The duplicates files are sorted by file name in the Duplicates Found file list. Duplicates sets are separated by a light gray line.

The word duplicates is used in a broader meaning than its real definition i.e. in Find Duplicates, duplicates are the multiple existence of files on the specified drive(s) or path (not limited to two instances of a file). A file may exist in more than two copies and Find Duplicates will display all the matches according to the constraints set in Find Duplicates.

You can select files in the Duplicates Found file list by clicking on them or by using the Tag and /or Select buttons.

Synchronize Directories (File Lists)
Synchronize Directories (Results Dialog)

The Synchronize Directories dialog displays the contents of the two specified paths in two file lists, the respective paths being displayed above each list.

Only one file list is active at any one time. The active list has the file information displayed in dark characters whereas the inactive file list has its information displayed with light characters. The Switch button in the Directory Comparison Toolbar also indicates which file list is currently active. Use this switch button to switch the activation to the other file list.

Each file in the lists is presented with the following information:

File Icon.

File Size.

File Date and Time.

File Attribute.

File Path and Name.

The size of the icon or the presence of icons in the file list can be customized in the Preferences dialog.

The file lists can be sorted by file name, file extension, file size, file date, file time or file attributes.

You can select files in the file list by clicking on them or by using the Tag and/or the Select buttons. Select by Mask lets you select files which match a specific filename and/or file extension mask (wildcards can be used). Hold the Shift key down when using the Tag or Select buttons if you wish to add the selection to the currently selected files.

The tagging follows the matching conditions specified in Match by. File CRC determines that the file contents must be exactly the same.

By default, the file list are Name-Aligned (the file lists are aligned by corresponding files/filenames). However, you can also chose to have the lists displayed in a more compact way by selecting the Compact option in the dialog.

If you wish to display only the files you selected in the file list, switch the radio button from Display All files to Display Selected files.

Several file management functions are available through the Directory Comparison Toolbar. Select first the files you wish to work on and then either click on a command button or drag and drop the selected files onto a Toolbar button.

You can also drag and drop the selected files onto the other file list to copy the selection from one list to the other.

It is possible to launch a file by simply double-clicking on it in the file list.

The file list allows you to drag and drop files to programs which are drag and drop clients (which accept dropped files), like Program Manager for example.

Zip, UnZip and Open Zip Files


UnZip/Extract

UnZip/Extract Files allows you to extract files from a Zip file. Several options are available to you to perform this task.

Option	Description

____________________________________________________________________________

File	Specify if you want only the selected files to be extracted, or all the files, or an entered file list. A file list is a sequence of filenames with extensions. Separate these file specifications with one space with no spaces at the beginning or at the end of the list. Each specification can include the standard DOS wildcards.

Action	The Action option allows you to specify how the UnZip/Extract files process should be performed. 'Extract' will extract and expand the selected file(s) without conditions.  'Freshen' will only extract the files in the Zip file which already exist in the target directory and which have been modified more recently than the version in the target directory. 'Update' is similar to freshen, but it will also extract files to the target directory which do not yet exist in the target directory.  'Test' will perform an extraction, but no files will be written in the target directory (used to verify that a Zip file extracts without errors).

Overwrite existing files	Check this option if you wish to overwrite without warnings the files with the same filename in the target directory.

Extract empty directories	Check this option if you wish to extract directories in the Zip file which do not contain files to the target directory (create empty directories structure in the target directory).

Decrypt, Password	Check the Decrypt check box if files to be extracted have been encrypted in the Zip file and need a password to be extracted. Enter the correct password in the corresponding edit filed.

Note that each file in a ZIP file can have a separate encryption code (password). Use a separate Extract operation (or Freshen or Update) for each file (or group of files) with a different password.

The decryption password can contain up to 65 characters and is case sensitive. Numbers and spaces can be part of a password.

IMPORTANT: The extraction of an encrypted file is only possible if the correct password is specified in the UnZip/Extract operation.

Create program group and

icons	Program items (icons) can be automatically created in a specified group during the extraction process in Program Manager (or compatible shell). Check this box if you wish to automatically create program items. Specify also a group name and the maximum number of icons which should be created.

Zip, UnZip and Open Zip Files


Zip/Add Files

Zip/Add Files allows you to add files to a Zip file. Several options are available to you to perform this task.

Option	Description

____________________________________________________________________________

Action	The Action option allows you to specify how the Zip/Add files process should be performed. 'Add' will add the selected file(s) without conditions. 'Move' will do the same and delete the original file after storing it in the Zip file. 'Freshen' will only add the files in the Zip file which already exist in the Zip file and which have been modified more recently than the version in the Zip file. 'Update' is similar to freshen, but it will also add files into the Zip file which do not yet exist in the Zip file.

Compression	This option allows you to set the rate of compression from Extra High compression to a simple storage of the files where no compression is performed. Note that increasing the compression factor will affect the speed at which the compression process is performed, the higher the compression rate, the slower the process becomes.

Multiple disk spanning	This option is only available if the Zip file is located on a removable disk.

Multiple disk spanning allows you to compress files onto diskettes and create a Zip file larger than what a single diskette can hold. Once the first disk is full, Zip/UnZip will prompt you with the second disk and so on. You can chose from the Multiple disk spanning combo drop to have Zip/UnZip wipe the diskettes' contents or format the diskettes before writing the Zip file to them, during the multiple disk spanning process.

Recurse Subdirectories	Check the Recurse Subdirectories check box if you wish Zip/Add to recursively traverse all subdirectories underneath the specified directory and store in the ZIP file all the files and directories found.  This provides an easy way to zip (and backup) all files in a branch of a directory tree.

Include directory

path(s) in ZIP	Check the Include directory path(s) in ZIP check box if you wish to store not only the names of the files added to the ZIP file, but also the directory information (path). If this option is checked, the full path of each file relative to the current path, minus the drive letter, will be stored in the ZIP file.

Ignore empty directories	Check the Ignore empty directories check box if you wish to ignore any directory that is found empty i.e. empty directories will not be stored in the ZIP file.

Include SYS/HIDDEN files	Check the Include SYS/HIDDEN files check box if you wish to add files which have the HIDDEN and/or SYSTEM attribute to the ZIP file

Include volume name	Check the Include volume name check box if you wish that the ZIP file also stores the volume label of the drive containing the selected files.

Store names in upper case	Check the Store names in upper case check box if you wish all file names to be stored in capital letters in the ZIP file.

Set ZIP file date to most

recent file in ZIP	Check the Set ZIP file date to most recent file in ZIP check box if you wish the ZIP file itself to be set to the date and time of the latest (most recent) file stored in the ZIP file.

Don't compress suffixes	Check the Don't compress suffixes check box to indicate that any file whose file extension matches one of the extensions entered in the edit field (next to the check box) will not be compressed, but will simply be stored in the ZIP file. This is useful as it can accelerate the compression process by ignoring files that may already be compressed.

The list of file extensions to which each file will be compared should contain a list of extensions each separated by a colon (:) or semicolon (;).  For example, if the list is  .TIF;.JPG;.WAV  , then any files ending with .TIF, .JPG, or .WAV will not be compressed before being added to the ZIP file.

Encrypt, Password	Check the Encrypt check box if you wish to protect the access and encrypt the contents of the files being stored in the ZIP file. If this option is checked, each file will be encrypted using the provided password before being added to the ZIP file.

This file encryption feature can be very useful if you wish to ensure the confidentiality of the contents of the files in a ZIP file or to limit the access to a file or group of files (within a ZIP file) to only a selected group of users who know the encryption password.

Note that each file in a ZIP file can have a separate encryption code (password). Use a separate Add (or Freshen or Update) operation for each file (or group of files) that you want encrypted with a particular code.

The encryption password can contain up to 65 characters and is case sensitive. Numbers and spaces can be part of a password.

IMPORTANT: The extraction of an encrypted file is only possible if the correct password is specified in the UnZip/Extract operation. Therefore, make sure that you take all the necessary precautions so that the encryption password or passwords are not "lost".

The Fix Zip file feature allows you to repair a damaged Zip file.

There are two possible steps in the reconstruction of a damaged Zip file:

Repair the internal file header will attempt to reconstruct/repair the internal Zip header of the Zip file if it finds some of the files missing.

Rebuild the Zip file structure will attempt to fix a damaged Zip file by trying to redetermine the compressed size of each file in the Zip file.

WARNING: Repair a Zip file only if it cannot extract its files properly. Try to repair the internal Zip header first and if not successful, select to rebuild the Zip file structure.  Success depends on the kind of damage existing in the Zip file and cannot be guaranteed.

vrbtd.386

The vrbtd.386 virtual device is used while a system has been locked with the WizManager Lock feature to prevent a system reboot with the Alt+Ctrl+Del key combination.

vrbtd.386 is copied to your WizManager directory during the installation process of WizManager. However, the device is not automatically declared in the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI.

To have the Lock option "Disable Alt+Ctrl+Del' work properly, you have to declare vrbtd.386 in your SYSTEM.INI file.  If the WizManager directory is C:\WIZMGR\  then the declaration in SYSTEM.INI under the [386Enh] section should be:

[386Enh]

Device=c:\wizmgr\vrbtd.386

Save the modification and restart Windows for the changes to take place.


Zip, UnZip, Open Zipe File
Zip, UnZip, Open Zip File

WizManager's Zip/UnZip utility is a powerful tool which lets you compress or expand files. With Zip/UnZip you have the ability to read, test, fix, create, modify and write ZIP files, without having to "shell" to a DOS session. WizManager's Zip/UnZip is fully compatible with the latest version (2.04G) of PKZIP from PKWare, Inc., and even recognizes and decompresses earlier versions (1.x) and self-extracting ZIP files (EXE). Because WizManager's Zip/UnZip has its own built-in ZIP encoding and decoding logic, PKZIP and PKUNZIP are not used, and need not even be present on the system.

To Zip (compress) files:

1.	Select the files you wish to compress in File Manager.

2.	Select Zip Files from the WizManager menu.

3.	Enter a new Zip filename or chose an existing one in the displayed dialog and select Ok. A dialog presenting compression options will be presented. Select the desired options and hit Ok. Your files will automatically be compressed into the Zip file. The contents of the Zip file will be displayed in a list in the Zip/UnZip dialog.

To UnZip (expand) a file:

1.	Select the .ZIP file you wish to extract the files from in File Manager.

2.	Select UnZip File from the WizManager menu.

3.	Select a directory to which the files will be extracted, chose the options you wish UnZip to perform, then select Ok and the files will automatically be expanding in the target directory.

To Open a .ZIP or self-extracting .EXE file:

1.	Select the .ZIP or self-extracting .EXE file in File Manager.

2.	Select Open Zip File from the WizManager menu.

3.	The contents of the file will be displayed in the Zip/UnZip dialog. Use the Zip/UnZip Toolbar to perform any task on the file.

Scroll the Buttonbar?

There are two ways to scroll the Buttonbar or the Launchbar (the 'bar'):

Use the left and right scroll buttons located at the left side of the 'bar'.

Or click with the right mouse button on any button of the 'bar'. The 'bar' will scroll the buttons by page until it reaches the last button and then scroll back.

During the scrolling process, the 'bar' scrolls and displays as many new buttons as your video resolution permits (button page) until the 'bar' reaches the last set of buttons.  If you wish to change the number of buttons scrolled, select the Customize | Buttonbar or Customize | Launchbar command from the WizManager menu and specify your preferences.


What is this button?
To quickly understand each button's command, a small button information window is displayed underneath each button when the mouse cursor is positioned over a buttons. As long as you stay with the mouse cursor over the buttons limit, the button information window will continue to be updated and displayed. You can scroll the Buttonbar or the Launchbar with the right mouse button to display the next page(s) of buttons. The automatic display of the info window can be disabled in the Preferences dialog.

If the Display Info Window is disabled you can still show the info window by holding down the SHIFT key while you click with the left mouse button on any button. The same small window showing the command's name will be displayed under the button. You can then release the SHIFT key and the mouse button and move the mouse over the next buttons to get the information.

When the button you were looking for is found, simply select it with the left mouse button without worrying about the little help window. It will automatically disappear when the command is executed.


Change the order of the buttons?

To customize the Buttonbar, select the Customize | Buttonbar command from the WizManager menu. A duplicate of the Buttonbar will be displayed. Select a button in the Buttonbar whose relative position in the Buttonbar you wish to change and drag it to its new location. Repeat with other Buttonbar buttons until you are satisfied. If you wish to reset the entire Buttonbar to its default setting, select the Reset button.

You can also add buttons to the Buttonbar by dragging new buttons from the "additional Buttons" bar. In the same way, you can remove buttons from the Buttonbar by dragging them from the Buttonbar to the "Additional Buttons" bar.

The number of buttons displayed and the increment per scroll (number of buttons scrolled each time) can also be set in the Customize Buttonbar dialog.


Quickly switch to the Command Line Box?

To activate the Command Line Box either:

Click with the left mouse button in the edit field,

Or press Alt+BackSpace.

To return to File Manager directory window either:

Click on a directory or file in the directory tree or directory window,

Or press Alt+Enter.

You can have the Command Line Box active and ready at File Manager's startup by selecting this option in the Preferences dialog selected from WizManager's menu.


What is displayed above the Command Line Box?
The current Command Line Box drive and directory is displayed above the edit field. This current directory is independent of File Manager's directory windows. The startup drive and directory can be defined in WizManager Preferences.

Quick outputs from certain commands like PATH, DISKFREE, etc., are displayed next to the Command Line Box current directory.

Error messages are also displayed next to the current directory information, in square brackets [...].  The beep on error feature can be turned on or off in WizManager Preferences.


What commands?
There are over 100 commands available within WizManager, like COPY, DEL, RENAME, ATTRIB, MEM, etc. Most of the WizManager commands accept the same parameters as their DOS equivalent commands and display similar information or confirmation dialogs as their equivalent commands in File manager.

You can also launch any application by typing its path (if necessary) and filename.

You can open a file by entering its name. The associated application (if set) will be started and your file displayed.


Repeat commands?

You can call any command previously entered in the Command Line Box (command history) by:

Selecting the command from the drop down list,

or using the UP and DOWN keys.

The last 15 commands entered in the Command Line Box are automatically saved and are available in the command history the next time File Manager and WizManager are started.


Interrupt a command?

You can press the ESC key (Escape key) at any time to interrupt a WizManager command.


Work with the files displayed in File Manager directory window?

By default, The ' ; ' (semi-colon) character symbol (without the quotes) represents in WizManager commands the path of the File Manager active directory window.

This shortcut is very useful, for it allows you to easily work on the displayed files without specifying the path to the File Manager directory window.

For example, if you want to copy all the files with the DOC extension from the File Manager directory window into the current WizManager directory, type:

copy ;*.doc      (or  copy ;\*.doc  if you feel more comfortable keeping a backslash (\) between the ; and the filename).

The ; can also be used as a target directory as in the command:

move report.txt ;   (or  move report.txt \;).

Fst Acces Buttonbar
Fast Access Buttonbar

The Fast Access Buttonbar is a long awaited feature for File Manager users. A buttonbar is to the mouse what key-combination shortcuts are to the keyboard: it accelerates the application and facilitates the access to the functionalities. Instead of browsing through the menus, you can quickly activate a command by simply clicking the appropriate button.

WizManager Buttonbar makes your work with File Manager easier. Tile horizontally or vertically, sort the displayed files, exit File Manager, etc., with just the click of a button.

Windows for Workgroups introduced a buttonbar named the Toolbar, however WizManager Buttonbar outperforms it in nearly every aspect.  Give WizManager a try and you be the judge.  WizManager scrollable Buttonbar displays colorful buttons and lets you access all the File Manager functionalities. Its customization is simple and allows you to display the buttons you want and in your preferred order.

Files and directories can also be dragged and dropped onto the Buttonbar. The activated button on which the files and directories were dropped will automatically launch the corresponding File Manager or WizManager command.


Command Line Box

Added to the Buttonbar is another feature users have been waiting for: a Command Line Box. This Command Line Box is not the simple Run command found in the File menu. Most DOS internal commands and many external commands have been implemented in WizManager itself and are available directly within File Manager.

'Old habits die hard...' this is especially true for many File Manager users who wish sometimes to quickly type DOS commands like DEL or COPY, start a program or open a file by simply typing its name instead of using a mouse and menus. All this is now possible with WizManager Command Line Box. Because the Command Line Box is part of File Manager, all WizManager DOS commands are executed in Windows, without shelling out to DOS. The result could be called DOS in Windows: it is fast, convenient and powerful. With WizManager Command Line Box, the File Manager user gets the best of  both worlds:  Windows and DOS.


Utilities

WizManager goes the extra yard.  WizManager adds many utilities which increase File Manager capabilities:

Frequently used functions or applications can be placed in a user customizable Launch pull-down menu for fast and easy access.

Pressing the right mouse button anywhere on File Manager displays a popup menu, listing all the currently active applications in Windows and enabling you to quickly switch to any of them. The popup menu also displays your customized Launch menus and file commands such as Copy, Move, Delete, etc.

System information and disk information are made available.

The system can be completely locked and restored after typing a user defined password. This feature permits you to leave your station, keeping information confidential or secure until you come back and enter your personal password.

A 'smart' association is integrated: with WizManager's Open Files you can open ALL (more than one at a time) the files selected in File Manager. In the displayed dialog box you can either view the file, open the files according to their associations (extensions), according to a specified association (for example, program associated with the TXT extension), or a specified program name (Browse to find application path, or enter it directly). All the files can also be sent to the same application.

With the Print Directory utility you can print the displayed File Manager directory listing to a printer or to a file. Print Directory lets you either print File Manager selected files list or entire directory listings. WizManager also prints Search Result lists. A Print Tree utility is available as well.

Many other functionalities are available such as exiting or restarting Windows, rebooting the system, accessing the different Control Panel functions directly, Script files, File Viewer access, etc.


Launchbar

The Launchbar is a powerful tool and is like a Program Manager built-into File Manager. It allows you to set buttons which will automatically launch DOS and Windows programs or open files.

Files can also be dragged and dropped onto the Launchbar. The application corresponding to the button to which the files were dropped to will automatically open the files.

To customize the Launchbar, select the Customize | Launchbar command from the WizManager menu. A duplicate of the Launchbar will be displayed. Select a button in the Launchbar whose relative position in the Launchbar you wish to change and drag it to its new location. Repeat with other Launchbar buttons until you are satisfied.

To modify an existing button, click on it. A modify Launchbar Button dialog will be displayed which lets you customize the description, action and icon of the button. You can also add buttons to the Launchbar by selecting the 'New Button' button.

The number of buttons displayed and the increment per scroll (number of buttons scrolled each time) can also be set in the Customize Launchbar dialog.
