- You Probably Didn't Pay For This Software, But It Really Isn't Free.
-
-
- DIRECTOR is being marketed as Shareware. A Shareware program
- can be downloaded from numerous bulletin boards around the
- country. It may also come on a disk with other Shareware
- programs, the disk usually being sold for under $5.00. The
- philosophy behind Shareware is simple. Good quality software can
- be obtained for free, or practically so, for you to try out. You
- are free to copy the programs and pass them on to friends. They
- also can use the program and see if it meets their needs. If
- only after trying out the product any of you decide you like the
- program and find yourselves using it regularly, you are required
- to register with the author and pay the usually low registration
- fee.
-
- Because Shareware authors don't have to pay the high costs of
- advertising and distribution, they can provide you with high
- quality software at very reasonable prices. However, Shareware
- will only exist if you register for the programs you are using.
- Major software companies are constantly announcing release dates
- of new products and then later pushing forward those release
- dates by many months. The reason for these delays is that good
- software takes a long time to develop and debug. The same is
- true for good Shareware. The DIRECTOR programs, DL.EXE, DB.EXE
- and DM.EXE, took a long time to develop and I am constantly trying
- to make them run faster and add new features. It is only through
- your support that I'll be able to continue to do this. The
- registration price for DL and DB are 30.00. When you register,
- you will be sent the latest versions and a complete manual on
- disk. For $ 5.00 more you can also get a printed copy of the
- manual. I am also available by phone or on Compuserve, where my
- ID # is 71320,1277, to answer any questions or receive any
- suggestions for future releases.
-
- DIRECTOR is constantly being improved. I am currently working on
- a version where you can add command line arguments at run time when
- running programs. If you register, you will get these additions
- plus other improvements, plus unlimited support by phone, letter
- or CompuServe. The registered version will also not have a trailer
- on it telling you to register.
-
-
- You have 30 days to evaluate DIRECTOR and and see if you like
- it. If, after that you continue to use it, you are required to
- register.

- USING DIRECTOR
-
-
- In order to run a text editor, and modify DIRECTOR to your
- liking, you must first run the installation program DCONFIG.
-
-
- DM.EXE
-
- To facilitate running programs from Director, the pop menu program
- DM.EXE has been added. You can pop up DM over the directory view
- of DL and file view of DL and DB by pressing the slash "/" key.
- Mouse users can pop up DM in the directory view of DL by clicking
- on "UTIL" and then clicking on " / Menu". They can pop up DM in
- the file view of DL and DB by clicking on " / MENU" on the lower
- right of the screen.
-
-
- You can also run programs from Director without popping up DM.
- Merely press the ALT key and the hot key of the program that you
- want to run and it will be run without DM ever popping up.
-
- You can also use DM as a stand alone hard disk menu. Just type
- "DM" at the DOS prompt and press Enter.
