This is DC SHOWIT v1.1
DC SHOWIT is FREEWARE, but remains copyrighted
DC SHOWIT is Copyright (c) 1989,1990

DC SHOWIT v1.1 (only v1.0 and v1.1) is distributed as FREEWARE. You may copy,
and distribute it as often as you like, just so long as this doc file is
distributed with the program.
DC SHOWIT is similar to one of the DC DESKTOP modules, except DC SHOWIT can
be run without having DC DESKTOP installed.
DC DESKTOP is an incredible enhancement for the GEM DESKTOP that supplements
and replaces certain GEM DESKTOP routines in super fast super small assembly
language.
DC SHOWIT is a _complete_ replacement for the GEM desktop 'SHOW' routine
which is used to 'type' files to the screen.
The unique feature about DC SHOWIT is that you never need to perform an
'Install Application' for DC SHOWIT to be called. In other words, DC SHOWIT
gets loaded once from the AUTO folder, and when you click on 'SHOW,' it is
called instead of the systems SHOW routine.
DC SHOWIT views regular ASCII files and NEO and _uncompressed_ DEGAS
pictures. Simply double click on the file/picture you wish to view and then
click on 'SHOW' from the system dialog box.
When viewing a picture, press either mouse button or any key to exit.
Press the HELP key when viewing a TEXT file for all available commands.
TO INSTALL DC SHOWIT, SIMPLY COPY IT TO YOUR AUTO FOLDER.

DC DESKTOP
"The GEM desktop just got better!"
DC DESKTOP, a new product from Double Click Software, enhances the GEM
desktop like no other program before it.
DC DESKTOP does not replace the GEM desktop like other programs, but adds
features the GEM desktop lacks. Maintaining 100% compatibility with all
software and not requiring you to learn a new interface.
These features include:
* Unique icons for all files and drives (You can import NeoDesk icons!)
* Install programs and files for execution directly from the desktop.
* Execute desktop icons (programs) with a keystroke.
* A unique 'CABINET' allows you to store all your programs in one
location so you don't have to wade through disks and folders. Acts
just like a disk drive. Also, load/save cabinets with a key press.
* A printer queue that acts like a RAMdisk, drag files to it,
show info... Also buffers screen dumps and regular printing!
* A trashcan that lets you 'undelete' files.
* Replace the GEM desktop with a picture or pattern.
* Keystroke equivalents for all GEM desktop menu commands.
* Change the desktop layout (load a DESKTOP.IN?) with the press of a key.
* Replaces the GEM desktop 'Show' text file routine. No need to 'Install
Application' any more, just click on 'Show.'
* View pictures from the desktop 'Show' routine.
* Extract and list ARC files from the desktop 'Show' routine.
* Modular design allows you to conserve precious system memory!
Don't need a feature? Don't install it and save memory!
* Completely configurable.
* Fast! Everything remains RAM resident for *FAST* execution!
* Much More.
