- 1. Brief description
- --------------------
- DiskBase is disk cataloging program. Enables to store names of files
- and folders from a disk (floppy, CD-ROM, ZIP etc.) to a database with
- powerful search capabilities. Names in archives like ZIP, RAR, ARJ can
- be extracted and stored too. A description can be attached to any folder
- or file in the database. The description can be made either manually,
- or constructed automatically from the file contents.
-
- Unlike other disk cataloging programs that show disk contents as one
- long flat list of files, DiskBase offers common user interface with
- a tree and a list of files in the current folder displayed. There is
- also no need to install any database engine in order to run the
- program.
-
- Exists in 16-bit version for Windows 3.1x and 32-bit version for
- Windows 95 and Windows NT 4. Long file names are supported in the
- 32-bit version.
-
- Please note that this program is distributed as a shareware and you
- may use it for a one-month evaluation period only. If you find it
- useful and want to continue using it after that period, you must
- purchase it.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. Installation
- ---------------
- The program is distributed in two files: SETUPxx.EXE and
- DSKBASxx.ZIP, where xx is 16 or 32 (indicates 16-bit or 32-bit
- version). Do not unzip the DSKBASxx.ZIP file manually; the
- SETUPxx.EXE program unpacks the contents of the DSKBASxx.ZIP
- file into a specified folder and creates icons in Program
- Manager or items in the Startup Menu.
-
- Note for Windows 3.1x:
- The program requires the "ctl3dv2.dll" file to be present in
- the \windows\system folder. This file is not a standard part
- of Windows, but it is added to Windows by most of the recent
- Windows programs, so it is highly probable that you already have it
- installed. If not, the installation program SETUPxx.EXE will not run
- and will announce that this file is missing. Then you must manually
- copy the file into the System folder of Windows. You will find this
- file in the "ctl3dv2.zip" file.
- This applies only for Windows 3.1x, not for 95s and NTs.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. Uninstallation
- -----------------
- The installation does not require anything else than the above
- stated: normally it does not put any files into the Windows system
- directory, it does not modify any system profile file like WIN.INI
- nor the Registration Database. So it is very easy to remove the
- program from your PC, if you do not like it. You just delete the
- icons (or menu items) and then the folder with the program.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- 4. Price
- --------
-
- The price for 1 license is $ 39. There are significant discounts for
- multiple licenses. See program Help for details and ordering
- information.
