- EnLighten v3.01 is a front end menu for PKLITE(tm), DIET, LZEXE, and
- UNLZEXE. It is designed to make compressing and expanding files using
- these executable file compressors much easier. With an easy to use menu
- system, you no longer need to remember options or commandline parameters.
- It is STRONGLY recommended that you obtain the latest versions of PKLITE(tm)
- and DIET. As of this writing, PKLITE(tm) is at 1.15 and Diet is at 1.44.
-
- SySop's and Vendor's should read SYSOP.DOC and VENDOR.DOC respectively.
-
- * Note : PKLITE(tm), DIET, and LZEXE are executable file compressors
- designed to save disk space. The compressed executables
- can still be run like normal.

- WHAT TO DO!!!
-
- When started, the first thing EnLighten does is look for a file
- called ENLIGHTN.CFG. This is the configuration file created by running
- ENCONFIG.EXE. ENLIGHTN.EXE and ENLIGHTN.CFG must reside in the same
- directory. If EnLighten does not find the configuration file, you
- either have not created it yet or you renamed one of the previously
- mentioned files. Whichever the case may be, run ENCONFIG.EXE first
- to set up EnLighten the way you want it. Depending on your
- configuration, EnLighten may need a large amount of disk space, up to
- three times the size of the largest file you select to work on.
- Therefore, it is STRONGLY recommended that you place EnLighten onto
- your Hard Drive or onto a floppy by itself. Ok, now for the good stuff.
- The first thing you will see, if all is ok, will be a shareware
- reminder screen asking you to please register EnLighten (Hint Hint!).
- Press any key to go on. The next screen is the entire EnLighten system.
- In the upper left corner will be my title. Right below it will be the
- options menu, to the right a listing of files in the current directory,
- and along the bottom of the screen is the status line. Actions can be
- taken on any window at any time with either the mouse or the keyboard.
- The options menu will list six items, some of which may say :
- (not configured) next to it if you did not wish to use that option when
- you ran the configuration editor. The first three items are the file
- compressors PKLITE(tm), DIET, and LZEXE (Note: If you selected to uses
- UNLZEXE also it will not be displayed on the options menu; you will see
- why soon ->). It is only necessary to turn on one, two, or all three of
- the compressor names when you wish to compress a file(s). Selecting only
- one compressor will compress the file with that one. Selecting any two
- or even all three of the compressors will tell EnLighten you want the
- file(s) to be compressed with the compressor that will produce the best
- result! The next option is "Make Backup." If turned on, this will
- produce a copy of the file(s) selected with the extension .BAK . The
- next option is "Update Time/Date Stamp." Turning this on will cause
- the file(s) selected to work on to obtain the current date and time.
- The last option here is "Begin Work." This is what starts it all!
- The File window, on the right side of the screen, is where the file(s)
- you wish to work on is selected. You may use the cursor keys to travel
- up and down the listing, the home and end keys to move to the respective
- place of the listing, and the spacebar or enter key to turn a file on or
- off. Or, you may simply move the mouse cursor to the desired files and
- press the left mouse button to turn it on or off. On the left side of
- the file window you will see two arrows, one pointing up and the other
- down. This is for mouse users to scroll through the window. At the
- bottom of the file window you will also see a '+' and a '-' sign.
- Clicking on either of these, or pressing their keyboard equivilant,
- will cause ALL files to be turned on or off respectively. You may see
- some files with a description next to them saying they are PKLITE'd,
- DIET'd, or LZEXE'd. This means they are already compressed files with
- their respective compressors. To uncompress them, simply click on the
- file(s). No compressor name option is required to turn on. EnLighten
- will automatically detect what compressor was used and use the
- respective decompressor. One of the nice features about EnLighten is
- the ability to compress and expand files at the same time. If you turn
- on a file compressor and select files to be compressed and also select
- files that are already compressed, EnLighten will compress the
- uncompressed files and uncompress the compressed files at the same time!
- The status bar at the bottom of the screen consists of four or five
- options (depending on your system) and displays the current path.
- If your system is equipped with an EGA or VGA setup you will see an
- option to 'Change Text Mode.' Selecting this will switch between a
- 25 and 43/50 line screen. Pressing ESC will exit EnLighten, 'D' will
- drop you to a dos shell (type exit to return), '\' or '/' will allow
- you to change the current work path, and 'S' will toggle sound on/off.
- All the mentioned can also be accomplished by placing the mouse cursor
- over the appropriate area and pressing the left mouse button. For
- example, to toggle the sound option, place the cursor over the 'S' and
- press the left mouse button. The right mouse button acts as an 'ESC'
- key. Well, now the best I can tell you (I know, my docs aren't the
- greatest. I'ma programer, nota speler!) is to run EnLighten and play
- around. It's REALLY easy and friendly to use. BTW, don't forget to
- register your copy!
