New with this version is the button pad that drops down from the right mouse
click on the time panel now has a command-line with a directory browse button.
This button pad will automatically popup a button tip with the path of the button
the mouse cursor is above or a name that you choose when you initially setup the
buttons. This popup button tip can be disabled under the menu item Configure...
The name that you choose (if you do not want the file's path) should be changed
in the Add Buttons window at the Button Title text box (or the default will be the
button's path). You can now Register by Credit Card (see above).
You can now select and delete multiple files in The File Machine.
This version has upgraded file utilities (copy, move, rename) that are
easier to use and the text box above the middle buttons can now be used
as a command line (type in the path and press ENTER key). Also, a new
Help file is easier to access in various areas by pressing the F1 key.
I have added sounds to many commands. The sound files must be
downloaded separately and are only useful if you have a sound card.
The sound file name is RESDU2B.ZIP (or RESDUB in Compuserve). If you
have downloaded the RESDUET2.ZIP file before (version 2.01) you should
already have these files. These wav files should be placed in the same
directory as resduet.exe. RESDU2A.ZIP has all of the main ResDuet+ files.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
To run RESDUET+ 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
RESDUET+. I don't know if this will run in Windows 3.0 but it should.
The files included with RESDUET+ are:
1. resduet.exe
resduet2.hlp
To be placed in any directory (you may want this in your start-up group also).
2. resduet.txt - this file
3. threed.vbx
dfinfo1.vbx
cmdialog.vbx
commdlg.dll
apiguide.dll
csform.vbx
csinvis.vbx
cstext.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).
4. resduet2.ini
filmach.dat - will be created in the same directory as the main resduet.exe file.
Once you have added your programs to the middle buttons, the icons/pictures will
be saved to pic#.bmp files in the directory where resduet.exe is placed (# being a
number from 1 to 20) to coincide with the button selected. If you move these
picture files, you must make the necessary path changes in the filmach.dat file
which will be located in the same directory as the main resduet.exe file. Creating
these pic#.bmp files (rather than extracting the icon from the file each time it is
loaded) will speed up the loading of the files slightly and lower the memory usage.
RESDU2B.ZIP (RESDUB.ZIP)- this contains all the sound files and must be downloaded
separately (if you do NOT have ResDuet+ version 2.01). You must have a sound card for
this feature to work. If you choose to use sound, you will need to unzip the wav files
into the same directory as resduet.exe. You can enable sound with a male or female
voice (or disable sound) with the Configure\Sounds menu item.
=========================================================================================
RESTART/RESOURCE PANEL:
I won't get into very many instructions here because they are included
in the program but the important ones are;
* To re-position the restart/resource panel, click and drag the "resources" (right)
panel with your left mouse button to move ResDuet+.
* To read the restart/resource panel instructions, click on the
"resources" panel with the right mouse button and select Instructions or click on
the Help menu item.
* To open The File Machine, click on the "time" panel (left) with the left
mouse button. To open only the middle buttons from The File Machine, click
on the time panel with your right mouse button.
* To check your available memory space and available disk space, click
on the "resource" panel with your left mouse button then click on the About menu item.
##########################################################################################
THE FILE MACHINE:
Most of this is self-explanatory and also includes instructions. The
"buttons" in the center of The File Machine open whatever files/programs
you add using the "Buttons" button on the bottom left. PLEASE NOTE, WHEN
ADDING YOUR PROGRAMS/APPLICATIONS TO THE BUTTONS, YOUR VIDEO COLORS SHOULD
BE NO HIGHER THAN 256. ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS, YOU MAY CHANGE TO A
HIGHER COLOR (32K, 64K ETC.).
The status bar at the bottom of The File Machine will show what the various
buttons are that the mouse cursor is above. When it is above one of the
middle buttons, it will show the path of the file that is added to that
button.
For instructions on the various buttons or areas, click your right mouse
button over those areas or the left mouse button on the "?" button.

That's about all for me.
Thanks, have fun and please register this program, it's only $15.00.
