-
- WinBag is a toolbag of utilities for Windows that lets you do some of
- the things you do at DOS, without going to the dreaded File Manager
- and without leaving the Windows environment. The initial release of
- WinBag had three tools, a disk formater, and two handy Dir's for
- floppy drives A and B. Version 2 added a mini file manager, WBFileMan.
-
- WinBag is distributed as Shareware. The registration fee is $10.
- Registered users will receive free upgrades and new tools as they are
- developed. Registered users will also receive Windows style Help files
- for on-line Help.
-
- WBFormat:
- WBFormat is used to format diskettes in foreground or background. When
- first run, defaults will be set up for drives, format, and DOS
- version. Go to Setup and change the defaults to match your system. Be
- sure that the Setup DOS agrees with your DOS version. Now you can
- format disks without going to DOS and without having to remember what
- switch does what. Also, WBFormat gives you the ability to format disks
- according to the format most frequently used. For example, if drive a:
- is a high density drive, but low density disks are used most often,
- set the default for for drive a: to low density. Now low density disks
- can be formatted without changing settings and without the need to
- remember any switches. Just be sure that the DOS format command is in
- a directory that is in the path. WinBag takes care of the rest by
- supplying a .pif file that runs format in a window and in background
- if desired. WBFormat supports MS-DOS versions 3, 4, and 5.
-
-
- WBFileMan:
- WinBags File Manager gives you a tool for day-to-day file management.
- Also, WBFileMan gives you a powerful View/Edit command as well as easy
- Zip/UNZip capability.

- directory, then click OK. Or, click the Source or Destination box,
- make desired changes, then click OK or press Enter.
-
- Copy - Files may be copied to the destination directory or to a different
- name. When copying a file to a different name in the same directory, be
- sure the Source and Destination are the same.
-
- Move - When moveing files on the same drive, the data is not moved,
- only the directory entries are changed. When moveing files to a
- different drive, a safe move is done by checking to see if the file
- arrived on the destination drive before it is deleted from the source.
-

- rename, then click the Rename option. Enter the new name and click
- OK.

- Viewer/Editor. Example, all files with the extension of .XLS will be
- input to Excel with the following entry;
-
- .XLS,c:\excel\excel.exe
-
- Files that do not match the list of extensions will be input to the
- default editor. (Notepad is used as the default initialy).
-
- Note: The drive and path for Notepad.exe is C:\WINDOWS\. If this is not
- correct for your system, go to Setup and enter the correct path.
-
- To add a new entry to the extension list, either type the editor name
- with extension (eg. write.exe), drive and path, and extension, or click
- Browse. This will bring up a Drive/Directory box. Double clicking a
- directory will display all .exe and .pif files. Click the desired PIF
- or executable, fill in the corresponding extension (with or without the
- period) then click OK.
-
- To make changes to an existing entry, click the entry to change, make

- default editor will be envoked. View/Edit can also be used to view icons.

- zip file will reside in the source directory.
-

- If the destination directory is the same as the source, the files will
- be unzipped into the source. If the destination is another directory,
- the files will be unzipped into the destination.
-
- Note: PKZIP.EXE and PKUNZIP.EXE must be in a directory that is in the
- path in order for the ZIP and Unzip functions to work.
-
-
- DirA:/DirB:
- The two Dir utilities are tools that do the simple task of a dir on
