- *** LATE BREAKING NEWS ***
-
-
- This is File Commander, a new product from Wilson WindowWare.
- The documentation for this product is still incomplete. We're
- whacking it into shape as fast as we can. Once you figure out
- what this product can do, I'm sure you will excuse us.
-
- PURPOSE
-
- File Commander is an extender for the Win 3.1 File Manager. It adds
- a menu item to the File Manager menu bar. From this single top-level
- menu item, File Commander allow you to make up to 99 menu items spread
- upto 5 levels deep.
-
- The menu items, when selected, execute our Windows Interface Language (WIL)
- code. What is the WIL language? Well, its the Windows batch file language
- developed by Wilson WindowWare, and found in the following products:
-
- Wilson WindowWare: Command Post - As the menu script language
- Wilson WindowWare: WinBatch - The Windows batch language
- Symantec: Norton Desktop - The Batch Runner/Builder language
- PubTech: BatchWorks - The Windows batch language
-
- >>> If you have used Command Post, you will find the menu scripts
- >>> *remarkably* similiar.
-
- The WIL language supports zillions (well maybe 200) different functions
- that allow you to do pritnear anything. Included with this ZIP file is
- most of the Command Post documentation (as FILECMDR.TXT) and a file
- highlighting new features recently added to Command Post, WinBatch and
- now File Commander (NEWSTUFF.TXT).
-
- The documentation does not yet exactly match the product, but an
- examination of the WWWFMEXT.FME menu script file and a look at the
- function reference should do wonders.
-
- Be sure to check out our new WIL.HLP Windows help file. It has a
- (pretty much - we're working on it) complete description of the WIL
- language (Thats the programming language found in our products). It
- should prove useful.
-
- HOW-2-ADD YOUR OWN MENU ITEMS
-
- Edit the WWWFMEXT.FME file. The file is COLUMN SENSITIVE, especially
- in the first four columns with define the menu item titles. Menu
- batch code should start in column 5 or later (I like col 8).
- In the NEWSTUFF.TXT file (page 88-89) (Search for "Multiple Menu Levels")
- is a discussion on how to code the menus for each level of drop-down
- menu. Basically it is just column-dependent. Good Luck.
-
- THE WIL.HLP file
-
- The WIL.HLP file is a Windows help file. To use it, run the
- WINHELP.EXE application and then open the WIL.HLP file.
-
- You may wish to make a Program Manager icon that will start it directly,
- and add the HLP to the extensions section of the WIN.INI file, as in
-
- [Extensions]
- HLP=WINHELP.EXE ^.HLP
-
- The WIL.HLP file was produced and designed by Jim Stiles. If you need
- or want professional consulting for custom help systems,
- ask for Jim at (206) 937-3141.
-
- Please see the README2.TXT file for more information

-
- PACKING LIST:
-
- With this version you have the following files: You will find that
- on your disk or ZIP file, many of the files end in a $. This is to be
- expected. Some files may have been compressed and will need to properly
- installed to be useful, while other files may be simply copied and renamed.
