SPOON ][
The ut(ens)il designed to handle the SAUCE
By Tasmaniac of ACiD Productions
┌──────────────────────────╖
│ What is SPOON? ║
└══════════════════════════╝
SPOON is a utility to add SAUCE to your files. If you don't know
what SAUCE is, you may want to check out SAUCE.TXT. In short, SAUCE
stands for "Standard Architecture for Universal Comment Extensions".
SAUCE adds a full description to ANSi, Graphics, sound and several
more types of files.
In case you don't like SAUCE. SPOON ][ will just as easily help
you to remove SAUCE.

│ What is SPOON ][ ? ║
└══════════════════════════╝
After a long time of 'managing' with SPOON, SPOON ][ was
developed. It provides an improved user interface over the original
SPOON, and has several handy features that simply HAD to be there...
Things like detecting the size of several of the most common image
types.
┌──────────────────────────╖
│ How does it work ? ║
└══════════════════════════╝
SPOON is a very straightforward utility.
After typing SPOON at the DOS prompt, SPOON will load the list
of files in the path and present them to you. You can use the
Up/Down cursor keys to select the file you want. You will notice
the right window stating either "NO SAUCE" indicating the selected
file has no SAUCE, or it will contain the full SAUCE details.
Pressing [Enter] will select the file, and will put SPOON in SAUCE
edit mode, where you can modify what you want. SPOON will do it's
best in autodetecting as much as possible. If a file already has
SAUCE, no autodetection occurs.
Pressing [Enter] on a directory will make that directory active.
Pressing [Del] on a SAUCEd file will delete the SAUCE information.
┌──────────────────────────╖
│ SAUCE Edit mode ║
└══════════════════════════╝
The edit mode works like most input screens. You can type the text
you want in the appropriate fields. Pressing [F2] will allow you to
Select the Datatype and Filetype.
[Esc] brings you back to the file selection without saving any
modifications. [F10] will save the SAUCE information and bring you back
to the file selection.
┌──────────────────────────╖
│ Customizing SPOON ║
└══════════════════════════╝
SPOON has very little SAUCE-related specifics hard-coded. Most of
the SAUCE specs are defined in SPOON.INI, which you can modify to
your liking. In addition to adding new filetypes and new
datatypes, you can modify the list of autodetected authors, and
the types of files you'll be using. Check out SPOON.INI for
further details. Everything for customizing SPOON is explained in
there.
