This is File Commander, a new product from Wilson WindowWare.
The documentation for this product is still incomplete. We're
whacking it into shape as fast as we can. Once you figure out
what this product can do, I'm sure you will excuse us.
PURPOSE:
File Commander is an extender for the Win 3.1 File Manager. It adds
a menu item to the File Manager menu bar. From this single top-level
menu item, File Commander allow you to make up to 99 menu items spread
upto 5 levels deep.
The menu items, when selected, execute our Windows Interface Language (WIL)
code. What is the WIL language? Well, its the Windows batch file language
developed by Wilson WindowWare, and found in the following products:
Wilson WindowWare: Command Post - As the menu script language
Wilson WindowWare: WinBatch - The Windows batch language
Symantec: Norton Desktop - The Batch Runner/Builder language
PubTech: BatchWorks - The Windows batch language
>>> If you have used Command Post, you will find the menu scripts
>>> *remarkably* similiar.
The WIL language supports zillions (well maybe 200) different functions
that allow you to do pritnear anything. Documentation for this version
of File Commander does not yet exist. The best bet is to install our
WinBatch product (on this same set of disks) and study the WINBATCH.TXT
and the NEWSTUFF.TXT files.
An examination of the WWWFMEXT.FME menu script file and a look at the
WinBatch function reference should do wonders.
In the NEWSTUFF.TXT file (page 88-89) (Search for "Multiple Menu Levels")
is a discussion on how to code the menus for each level of drop-down
menu. Basically it is just column-dependent. Good Luck.
HOW TO INSTALL:
File Commander consists of 2 DLL's and one menu script file. To wit:
WWWBATCH.DLL - Our Batch processor DLL
WWWFMEXT.DLL - The interface with the File Manager
WWWFMEXT.FME - The File Manager Extender script. This is the menu
script file. It can be edited with any text editor.
Notepad, WinEdit, Brief, etc.
Also included is
BROWSER.EXE - A text file browser. Very handy
To connect File Commander into your system, edit the WINFILE.INI file
in your Windows directroy. Add the following lines:
[AddOns]
WWW=WWWFMEXT.DLL
and copy all 3 files to any directory in your path statement.
Also copy BROWSER.EXE to the same place if you want Browser.
HOW-2-ADD YOUR OWN MENU ITEMS
Edit the WWWFMEXT.FME file. The file is COLUMN SENSITIVE, especially
in the first four columns with define the menu item titles. Menu
batch code should start in column 5 or later (I like col 8).
FUTURE:
File Commander is a shareware product selling (currently)
for $49.95. People who have licensed Command Post from us
in the past may license File Commander for $35.
