- This distribution contains the following files:
-
- WFTPD.HLP - the help file that goes with this program.
- README.TXT - that should be this file.
- WFTPD241.TXT - A file briefly describing the features of WFTPD.
- FILE_ID.DIZ - Short text note of WFTPD's purpose for BBS, etc
- WFTPDPRO.TXT - Announcement of WFTPD Pro, for Windows NT.
- WSFAQ.TXT - Frequently Asked Questions on the alt.winsock newsgroup.
- CRYPT.EXE - A program for creating WFTPD style passwords.
-
- In the Win32 files, for NT and Windows 95 users:
- WFTPD.EXE - the executable program itself.
-
- In the Win16 files, for Windows 3.1x users:
- CTL3DV2.DLL - Microsoft's 3D control library - only needed for Win3.1x
- WFTPD.EXE - the executable program itself.
-
- IMPORTANT!!! CTL3DV2.DLL (if you use it) must only go in your
- \WINDOWS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories - anywhere else will
- result in a warning message every time you start WFTPD. That
- means you should move it to that directory, and delete it from
- your main WFTPD directory. If you have a more recent version in
- one of these directories, you may simply delete this one.
- CTL3DV2.DLL is ONLY required for Windows 3.1x - Windows 9x, 2000
- and NT do NOT need this file, and you may delete it.
-
- Brief installation instructions:
- 1. Decide where to install WFTPD.
- 2. Select the appropriate components to install:
- WFTPD.HLP - the help file
- WFTPD.EXE - the executable file.
- CTL3DV2.DLL - provides the 3D look for Windows 3.1 (if needed)
- 3. Copy the first two files (WFTPD.*) to your installation directory
- 4. (on Windows 3.1 only) move CTL3DV2.DLL to your Windows directory.
- 5. The other files are ancillary text files. Read them and decide
- whether you want to keep them with your WFTPD installation. They
- are not required for WFTPD, but may provide useful information.
-
- The registration/ordering instructions and order form are included in
- the WFTPD.HLP file. Please also read the file WFTPDPRO.TXT for
- information on WFTPD Pro, the "next generation" of FTP servers for
- Windows NT (and soon, for Windows 95) from Texas Imperial Software.
- Registration of WFTPD lifts the restrictions placed on editing the
- greeting and farewell messages, as well as the limit on the number of
- transfers per session. Registered users with current email addresses
- are placed in a mailing list, and kept apprised of new work on WFTPD
- and WFTPD Pro. In a less tangible benefit, each new user is further
- encouragement to us to continue work on WFTPD, WFTPD Pro and other
- programs. And, of course, we are more likely to implement requests for
- features from our registered users.
-
- The WFTPD.HLP file is also where all the documentation resides. To
- run it without running WFTPD, use the standard Windows Help, and
- use File|Open to open this help file. On most installations, you
- may simply use File|Run from Program Manager, or Start|Run in Windows
- 95 / NT 4.0, and enter the path of the help file. Please read the
- help file before running, and for the answers to most of the questions
- that have already been asked.
-
- If you have any problems with this program, please direct your comments
- to the author, Alun Jones, at "alun@texis.com", or at 1602 Harvest Moon
- Place, Cedar Park, TX 78613-1419, USA. Faxes and phone calls are also
- accepted at (512) 378 3246. If you have any complaints, bug-reports,
- etc, please address them to me privately, and wait for a response,
- before complaining publicly. We obviously choose this policy to
- protect ourselves, but also to protect our users - there is nothing so
- embarrassing, surely, as complaining publicly about a problem, and then
- seeing just as public a response from us saying "It's in the
- instructions," or "You're running an old version," etc. The success of
- future shareware depends on your encouragement.
-
- Thank you for caring,
-
- Alun.
