- - ABOUT DELTA 2.2 -
- ----------------------------------------
- Delta allows you to save information about your disk and then compare the
- differences that may have occured over time. A typical application would
- involve Windows installation software, where you would save your disk's
- information before and after the installation, and then compare and check for
- differences. Delta also allows you to save information contained in text and
- Windows initialization files and then check for differences. Typical files
- would include: AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, etc. Other uses
- would include simply monitoring changes to your drive over time. This is
- especially useful in a work environment where multiple people may use the
- same system. This will allow you to unclutter that bogus stuff people leave
- on your disk and reset your configurations.
-
- ----------------------------------------
- - INSTALLATION -
- ----------------------------------------
- 1. Copy BWCC.DLL to your Windows system directory
- (ie: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BWCC.DLL)
- 2. Create a DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA)
- 3. Copy DELTA.INI to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.INI)
- 4. Copy DELTA.EXE to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.EXE)
- 5. Copy DELTA.HLP to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.HLP)
- 6. Copy LZMAV.DLL to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\LZMAV.DLL)
-
- NOTE: DELTA.EXE and DELTA.HLP can be located anywhere on
- your drive. The only requirement is to have both of
- these files in the same directory.
-
- NOTE: You may elect to copy LZMAV.DLL to your Windows' System directory.
- (ie.: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LZMAV.DLL)
-
- NOTE: I recommend invoking DELTA.EXE and clicking on Help
- to view the section syntax for DELTA.INI before you
- actually use Delta.
-
- NOTE: BWCC.DLL is Copyrighted by Borland International Inc.
