- 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.
