Rocket File Launcher v6.0
for Windows 3.0
Rocket is a combination File Manager and Application Launcher. Version 6 is
a complete re-write of previous versions. Please write or fax me your comments
and suggestions. Due to extended time on the road, please excuse delays in
responding to correspondence.
System Requirements
Windows 3.X running in standard or enhanced mode. VGA or higher recommended.
Mouse required. Hard drive recommended. VBRUN100.DLL required (Visual Basic).
Double Click File Management
There are two drive windows in Rocket, either may be the source or
destination. The key to performing file operations in Rocket is the
double-click. When Rocket is first initialized it is placed in
"No Action-Refresh" mode, meaning a dbl-click on a file will refresh the file
list box(s). To perform a copy or move, select either action from the Action
Menu, and dbl-click on the source file. The message bar (to the right of the
drive icons) will display the source and destination directories, and Rocket's
caption will indicate the action about to be performed. Because there are no
warnings, be sure to reset the Action to refresh when you are done, careless
dbl-clicking can spell disaster with Rocket.
The file mask works in conjunction with the All button. To move a group of
files, set the file box mask (*.* is default) and click the All button. All
files of the type specified have the selected action performed on them.
Launching Data Files
Rocket reads the [extensions] section of your WIN.INI file for application
associations to data files. Select the Utility Menu Extensions option to
display a window listing these associations. You may launch EXE, COM, BAT, PIF
or any of the file extensions listed in the extension window. Simply highlight
the file and select the window state to execute the program into from the
Launch Menu. Rocket can launch two files at the same time! Just highlight a
file in each drive window.
System Programs
The System Menu contains a list of all the programs that are included with
the Windows package. In addition, the Configure System menu item <Ctrl-S>
calls SYSEDIT to allow editing of the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, and
SYSTEM.INI files.
Utility Programs
The programs MEMORY 3.2 and CLOCK 2.1 are distributed with Rocket. Please
read all included text files for information on using these programs.
Registration Info
Hit <Ctrl-A> or select the Help Menu's About item to view the information
screen.
