- Bloat V1.2 is a Windows 3 program which you can use to find out why your
- hard disk never seems to have any free space on it, and to help with
- clearing it of unwanted files.
-
- To install Bloat V1.2 simply copy the files BLOAT.EXE and BLOAT.HLP
- to a directory included in your PATH, such as your utilities or
- Windows directory. Use the New Item on the File menu of Program Manager
- to place it in a Program Manager group.
-
- If you wish to use Bloat to create compressed archives then you should
- also copy the BDB.EXE and BDB.PIF files to a directory on the PATH. These
- two files MUST be in the same directory to operate correctly.
-
- There is no documentation file with this version of Bloat. The on-line
- help should include all the information required to run the program.
-
- Bloat uses a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) called THREE_D.DLL to enable it to
- display its dialogs using a 3D sculpted effect. The program will, however,
- function without this library being available (it just doesn't look as
- good). If you obtained Bloat from a Bulletin Board then it is possible that
- the library will not have been included in the distribution. It may be
- available from the same source with the name 3D.ZIP. If you register Bloat
- then you will be sent a version which includes the DLL.
-
- Bloat is a shareware program. You may use it for 21 days to decide whether
- you wish to register it. If you continue to use it you are expected to
- register it (using the form included in the documentation). Registration
- costs ú15 or $25US (cheques only) and entitles you to free upgrades of
- version 1 of Bloat.
-
- You are free to distribute Bloat to friends and to upload it to Bulletin
- Boards provided the Help file, the documentation file, and this file are
- included and you do not charge for distributing it.
-
- However, shareware vendors should first contact Babbacombe Computers for
- permission before distributing Bloat, unless they are ASP or ASA-UK
- approved vendors. Disks containing Bloat distributed by shareware vendors
- should include THREE_D.DLL, if possible.

- If you like Bloat then you may wish to try out another program by the same
- author, called Dupe. This is another Windows 3 program which will quickly
- search one or more disks, or parts of disks, or a network, for duplicate
- files - duplicates being considered files with the same name or contents,
- as required. Having found these files it will then allow you to print a
- list of them, view them and delete them. Dupe registration is normally
- ú15 or $25US but is ú10 or $17US for registered users of Bloat. Both can
- be registered together for ú25 or $42US.
