- WinDirUsage V1.5c - November 3, 1996
- Copyright (c) 1993-1996 by Kevin Routley. All rights reserved.
-
- Thank you for evaluating WinDirUsage V1.5c!
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- To install, copy the contents of the disk into a directory
- on your hard disk. WIND165.EXE is the 16-bit (Windows
- V3.1, V3.11) version of WinDirUsage V1.5a, and WIND325.EXE
- is the 32-bit (Windows 95, NT) version.
-
- WinDirUsage will NOT run unless WINDRU5.HLP and NTHELPR.EXE
- are in the same directory as the executable files. The
- other files are not needed after you've read them.
-
- The program may be executed using the File|Run... command
- from either Program Manager or File Manager. You may wish
- to create an icon in Program Manager for convenient execution,
- or a desktop shortcut if you are using Windows 95 or Windows
- NT V4.0. Note that you may specify a hard disk to read on
- the command line, so WinDirUsage will read the indicated
- disk instead of the disk it was executed from.
-
- Getting Started
- ===============
-
- WinDirUsage initially reads the drive it was executed on.
- So if you run WinDirUsage from a floppy disk or another
- drive which has no subdirectories, the pie chart will merely
- show a circle and 100% of the disk space used by the files
- in the root directory.
-
- Available only to registered users:
- Use the 'Read disk at startup' option in the Labelling...
- options dialog to control whether WinDirUsage performs this
- initial read of the disk.
-
- WinDirUsage allows you to select any drive on your system.
- Click on the down arrow next to the pulldown menu in the
- upper left corner to see available drives. When a drive has
- been selected, WinDirUsage will read the contents of the new
- drive.
-
- For a directory that has subdirectories, WinDirUsage will
- show a pie chart that has slices showing the size of each
- directory tree. The list box also shows each directory,
- sorted in order of size, largest listed first. The smallest
- directories will not be shown in the pie chart but are shown
- in the list box.
-
- You can select a new directory to view in more detail by
- either selecting the new directory in the list box, or by
- clicking on the corresponding section in the pie chart.
-
- WinDirUsage has many more features! See the online help
- file for more information.
-
- De-Installation
- ===============
-
- Should you choose not to keep WinDirUsage, it may be
- de-installed by deleting the files you restored from the
- distribution set. Also, delete any Program Manager groups
- and/or icons you may have created. Finally, delete
- WINDIRU.INI from your Windows directory. Thats it!
-
- Registration Benefits
- =====================
-
- Registered copies of WinDirUsage do not perform extra
- disk reads when moving between directories. Also, the
- banner box does not appear for registered users.
-
- As a registered owner of WinDirUsage, you are entitled to
- early notification of new versions of WinDirUsage and
- preferred technical support and new features.
-
- And by registering WinDirUsage you are encouraging the
- continued development and distribution of shareware by

- Shareware concept!
-
- Feedback
- ========
-
- New versions of WinDirUsage will be released over time,
- depending on demand and how quickly I can add new features.
