DIRT (cheap) PAD, V1.0 Information 6/95
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This program is "almost, kinda, sorta" freeware. If you have registered any of
my other 3 shareware programs (RESDUET+, PLAIN OL' BUTTON BAR or YOUR
FILE CABINET) then you are already registered for this. All you need to do is
place a copy of the *.MDG file from one of the other programs into the same
directory as DIRTPAD.EXE (or place DIRTPAD.EXE in the other program's
directory).
If you like DIRT (cheap) PAD and want the "almost, kinda, sorta" free
registration,just register one of my other programs (as listed above). It's
like BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE. These other programs are all available on CompuServe
(several forums), America Online (Windows Magazine forum), the Internet, various
BBS's around the country and on many CD's AND the registrations are only $15(US)
for RESDUET+ and PLAIN OL' BUTTON BAR or $30(US) for YOUR FILE CABINET.
You can check out my World Wide Web site on the Internet (The Kamikaze
Connection) to download any of these programs (the info is near the bottom of
the www page). The URL is http://www.america.net/~mg72144/kamikaze.html and
looks best using the Netscape viewer. This is where you can learn about my
upcoming book, How To Become A Kamikaze Pilot: The Training Manual(c).
The files to look for are RESDUET+ (resdu2a.zip or resdua.zip), PLAIN OL' BUTTON
BAR (plainbar.zip or planbr.zip) and YOUR FILE CABINET (filecab.zip or filcab.zip).
There is no separate registration for only DIRT (cheap) PAD so if you want it,
you'll need to register one of the above programs. If you have already registered
any of the above programs and have no way to download DIRT (cheap) PAD (how would
you be reading this?), then send $5(US) for shipping and handling and I will send
you the floppy with this program...be sure to send the name, address and program
that you registered from me to:

DIRT (cheap) PAD "Undocumented Features":
1) Recent files list doesn't delete the menu item and re-order the
list after a file is deleted from the File*Delete File menu. The
file is deleted though.
B) Edit menu items aren't disabled when not applicable (big deal)
3) If you double-click a text file associated with DirtPad and
DirtPad is already open, it does not load the file in DirtPad.
These will be fixed in a later version (when time permits).
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
To run DIRT (cheap) PAD you will need the VBRUN300.DLL Visual Basic runtime
file (found on most BBS's) in your Windows or Windows/System directory
(as long as this is in your path statement). Then add a new program
item to one of your groups (File*New*OK, etc.) using the icon with
DIRT (cheap) PAD.
The files included with DIRT (cheap) PAD are:
1) dirtpad.exe
dirtpad.txt - this file
To be placed in any directory.
B) threed.vbx
cmdialog.vbx
commdlg.dll
csform.vbx
cscmd.vbx
emedit.vbx
mlist.vbx
qpro200.dll
ctl3d.dll
These files need to be placed in your Windows directory (or Windows\System
if in your path) if you don't already have them. (Please make sure this is
the most recent version).
3) dirtpad.ini
Will be created in the same directory as the main dirt.exe file.

That's about all for me.
