This is a text file describing EtCetera.
Overview:
---------
EtCetera is basically a batch language interpreter that adds a new
element to the Windows environment and allows the automation of
mundane, boring Windows 3.X applications. Similar in nature to the DOS
batch language editor, EtCetera lets you write "batch" programs within
the Windows environment. (A valuable feature which was omitted from
Windows)
EtCetera was developed out of necessity by software developer, John
Cullison, owner of Thetaware. As a technical consultant, John saw the
need for this program and decided to write EtCetera to help Windows
users accomplish tasks that could not be done within Windows itself.
Features:
---------
It's Small:
EtCetera is small. It takes up a very small amount of your system
resources in Windows, much smaller in fact than Norton Desktop for
Windows' Batch Runner or WinBatch.
Online Help:
The Help file for EtCetera is great for users who are new to batch
files. You don't have to be a professional programmer to start writing
effective, time saving EtCetera Batch Files. It's easy!
It's Inexpensive:
-----------------
EtCetera was designed for the type of user who does not believe in
using a sledge hammer to swat flies. In short why load an
expensive application or use a kludgy interface to automate simple
tasks. EtCetera can do practically anything the user can do and more.
It Offers Security:
-------------------
EtCetera can be used by system administrators to keep users from
ever seeing what is going on "behind the scene". Instructions can be
freshly typed and presented in such a way that the user thinks that
the author is typing the information in real time.
Applications can be loaded, run, clipboarded, saved, printed, faxed,
modemed and closed without any user intervention. The user only sees
what you want them to see, when you want them to see it.
It's For Developers:
--------------------
EtCetera is probably the easiest, most economical way to produce a
self-running Windows demo for your product. Include all the bells and
whistles you desire. EtCetera can handle it.
Low-Cost Site Licenses Available:
