PROGRAM LONG DESCRIPTION:
Not only does FileWrangler ZIP and UNZIP
files, it can handle all of your other file
management tasks as well. It copies, moves,
renames, deletes, etc. FileWrangler lets
you view the contents of files while you
browse through the folders on your system.
It can view many image formats, play AVI's
and WAV's, view text or even hexadecimal.
On-board text editing is ideal for composing
notes, creating html, or editing system
configuration files.

FileWrangler's ZIP features make archiving
files as easy as dragging and dropping files
to and from file folders. Plus, you can also
view zip contents, span zipped files across
multiple disks, make self-extracting EXE zips,
require passwords to unzip, etc.

FileWrangler also gives you security
options to hide file types, folders and
drives from file manager users, as well as
to prevent access to various file management
functions. There are also options to Wipe
files on delete, encrypt/decrypt files, etc.

Other features include: a paint program for
creating or editing images, a backup function
to allow you to easily maintain copies of
important files, a file splitter which allows
you to break large files or groups of files
to fit onto multiple disks (may also be used
to create installation-type programs), a patch
file maker, an FTP client to allow you to
upload or download files to internet sites, and
many more enhancements.

FileWrangler allows you to open several file
lists at once, and you can view files in
either tree view or list view modes. The
interface may also be configured to sport
document file drawers, which allow you to
only view file types that you actually need
to see.

SUGGESTED CATEGORIES FOR PLACEMENT: file managers, utilities/file utilites, utilities/compression, desktop utilities, ftp clients, html editors

------------------------------
INSTALLING FileWrangler
------------------------------

Before you can begin using FileWrangler you must run its
Setup program from Windows. In most cases you cannot simply copy
the software onto your hard drive. The files on the CursorArts
distribution disks are stored in a special compressed form to
save space. The Setup program is the only way to insure that
FileWrangler is properly unpacked and installed. To install
FileWrangler, follow the steps below:

1.  Start Windows.

2.  If you received FileWrangler on diskette, place it into
    the floppy drive now. If you downloaded FileWrangler in
    archived format, use PKUNZIP to uncompress the files to a
    working directory on your hard disk.

3.  Activate the Windows Program Manager or Explorer.

4.  Select "Run..." from the "Start" menu.

5.  In the "Command Line" field enter one of the following:

      -  If you placed the FileWrangler diskette into drive
         A:, type: A:\SETUP

      -  If you placed the FileWrangler diskette into drive
         B:, type: B:\SETUP

      -  If you downloaded FileWrangler, type:
         C:\DIRNAME\SETUP (Remember to replace DIRNAME with the name
         of the directory where you uncompressed FileWrangler's files.)

6.  Follow the instructions on the screen.


----------------------------------------
UNINSTALLING / REMOVING FROM YOUR SYSTEM
----------------------------------------
If you decide that you no longer wish to use FileWrangler, or if you
decide not to use FileWrangler beyond the 30-day evaluation period,
you need only to use the UNINSTAL.EXE program placed in FileWrangler's
directory folder to remove its files from your system (or use the
Windows 95 ADD/REMOVE feature of its Control Panel).

To remove any shortcuts to FileWrangler which you may have placed on
your Windows desktop, simply delete these by highlighting the link
icon and pressing your Delete key. To remove shortcuts on the
Windows Start menu, use your file manager to delete the FILEWRANGLER
directory folder which is normally located inside the
\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS folder.
