C H A P T E R - 1 Overview & Installation
What is WazTree Lite?
Welcome to WazTree Lite. WazTree Lite is a File Management Utility
for DOS. You can also run WazTree Lite from Windows. Its
intention is to ease management of directories and files on your
hard disk drive (IBM PC or compatible system). WazTree Lite is a
a program which consists of two files (WTL.EXE & WTL.OVL). WazTree
Lite is designed and intended to be used as a desktop accessory.
From WazTree Lite you can launch other programs and provide all
your directory maintenance and DOS uses. WazTree Lite commands are
via keyboard or mouse. It also provides an open ended product
which can continue to have features added. This may not be an
ideal guide for you. If you do not understand something please let
me know. Your comments are more than welcome. Your comments
should help improve both the guide and software.
Installation of WazTree Lite
WazTree Lite is provided with an INSTALL.EXE program to ease
installation. You can install WazTree Lite using INSTALL or just
copy the files into a directory where you would like to store
WazTree Lite. Use the INSTALL.EXE to load WazTree Lite and ensure
that you get all the files needed. INSTALL will automatically
create a directory of your choice where WazTree Lite is to be
installed. To use the install program:
1. Insert your WazTree Lite #1 disk into a floppy drive either A
or B.
2. Type INSTALL and press ENTER.
3. Specify the source drive and press ENTER. (INSTALL will
default to where INSTALL was run from.)
4. Specify the destination drive and directory then press ENTER.
(INSTALL will default to C:\WTLITE)
5. WazTree Lite will copy all the files and prompt you for other
diskette if WazTree Lite was distributed on more than one
disk.
6. If WazTree Lite is installed successfully, INSTALL will
automatically run WazTree Lite.
NOTE: If you do not wish to use the INSTALL program, copy all
the files except the Install.exe file to a directory. To
run WazTree Lite, go to the directory which has WazTree
Lite and type WTL and press ENTER.
Quick Start
Go to the directory where WazTree Lite is (ie. CD\WTLITE) if
WazTree Lite is not in your path and type WTL and press ENTER. It
starts up with a large WazTree Lite logo on the screen. Down in
the lower left hand corner of your screen, you will see a message
where WazTree Lite is reading all the directories and files on the
disk. Reading files is indicated by two small boxes changing in
size similar to the look of a disk drive light. Once all of the
files are read, two windows representing disk drive will appear in
a tree display (left) and directory window (right). The window
with complete border is the active window. The screen will have
disk and memory status displayed at the top of the screen. This
status is displayed and updated constantly while using WazTree
Lite. The status displays the present disk drive, volume label,
disk size in bytes, disk bytes available and free DOS ram with
WazTree Lite running. If you run a program from WazTree Lite the
available ram will go up because WazTree Lite will swap itself to
EMS or Disk to provide DOS memory for the program you wish to run.
The second status line is for checked (√) files in bytes, configure
ID (see reconfigure WazTree Lite) and directory size in bytes. In
the Tree Window, you can use cursor keys or the mouse (left button)
to select a directory. To go a directory select the directory and
press ENTER or double click mouse. Pressing the ESCAPE key or
right mouse button will exit WazTree Lite from the Tree Window.
Once you have selected a directory from the Tree Window, you will
be in the Directory window. Most WazTree Lite commands are
available in both Tree and Directory windows. The Tree window is
primarily only used for selecting directories. To toggle between
the Tree and Directory windows press TAB, ENTER or Center Mouse in
Tree Window and press TAB, ESCAPE or Center Mouse in Directory
Window. This will allow you to quickly change directories
visually. From the Directory Window you can change disk drives as
well. The available drives will be listed in the Directory pick
list. The quickest way to get familiar with WazTree Lite is to use
it. All the commands are available in the Help Text. Press F1 to
get help. All of the commands are indexed and explained so you
should be able to spend some time using WazTree Lite to get
familiar. Also if you press the spacebar a pull down menu is
available which should ease use and allow you to browse to learn
more.
The commands in WazTree Lite have one configure change <F6> which
toggles Alt/Key. Most commands are alpha keys ie. A, C, D etc..
If in ALT mode the alpha command A would be entered Alt/A (press
Alt key and hold then press A). In the KEY mode just press A.
There are advantages to each mode. The advantage of using "ALT"
mode comes when your in the Directory window. Pressing an alpha
key will skip to first file that begins with that alpha key. The
advantage of using "KEY" mode is commands can be executed quicker
without having to press Alt and alpha key. You can toggle this and
WazTree Lite will remember your setting for each session. WazTree
Lite defaults to Alt mode new. The state of Alt/Key it displayed
in upper left corner.
Example ALT mode:
If you had a directory with many files in it and the file you
wanted began with "P" you could press "P" and it would take you to
the first choice beginning with "P" instead of scrolling through
the files. All WazTree Lite commands are issued via Alt/alpha key
combination. Alt/P would pop up printer menu.
KEY mode:
All WazTree Lite commands are issued via alpha key alone. If you
were to press "P" as in the ALT example in Key mode you would get
the Print menu.

spots for the mouse are in directory windows as follows:
Hot spot commands in Directory window
Function Hot spot commands
Check/un-check all files Click on √
View file Click on V
Applications menu Click on APPS
Runs selected file Click on X
The top of each Directory window frame will display the drive, the
present directory, and the file mask. WazTree Lites default file
mask is *.*. This enables all files to be displayed in the
directory. Also displayed in the Directory window are the
available drives. Care should be taken in selecting drives because
if a floppy disk is not installed in the drive you select, it will
give you an error and will go back to the original directory. To
select directories, in the Directory window, place cursor over
directory and press ENTER or you can use the left mouse button.
The Directory window has two scroll bars around it. This provides
easy access no matter what size or in what area of the Directory
window you are in. You can use the mouse to move around large
directories and files by clicking on the scroll bars. The location
of where your at is displayed in lower left hand corner too.
Special characters:
- In the lower right hand corner, the three dash mark "≡"
special character is for re-sizing the window. If you place
the mouse cursor over that mark, press the left mouse button
and hold and move the mouse so you can change the size of the
window. When you let go of the mouse button, the new size
will be maintained by WazTree Lite. This enables you to
change the size of the window to the size that suits your
needs.
- In the upper right hand corner, above the scroll bar arrow,
there is another arrow, clicking on this arrow will zoom and
un-zoom the window. This enables you to open the window to
its maximum allowable size, which is controlled by WazTree
Lite. It is restricted such that the top two and the bottom
two lines are reserved for status and control information.
When it is in the zoom position you will get a small up/down
arrow in that spot and when you click it again will return to
single up arrow. The zoom function can also be achieved by
pressing the F9 key. Another way of changing the size of the
tree/directory is via the main menu option. There is re-size
directory/tree and relocate directory/tree. Selecting these
will enable you to change the size and location without a
mouse. This is done using the cursor keys.
C H A P T E R - 2 File/Directory Maintenance Commands
Drive space available
Command: A, ALT A or via main menu
The drives available command will provide you with a disk drive
status and available space on each drive (A-Z) with total available
attached to system. This is an overview of all disks attached to
the system and can be useful to quickly determine what is out there
for you.
Copy file(s)
Command: C, ALT C or via main menu
To copy a file, using WazTree Lite, place the cursor over the file
that you wish to copy by using the cursor keys or the mouse. To
copy, press command. At the bottom left hand side of the screen,
there will be a message "Copy to ?". Type in the disk drive and
the path you wish to have that file copied to.
Note: WazTree Lite will remember destination path for future
use in each session.
If the directory that you are copying to does not exist, you will
get a message asking if you would like to make a new directory. If
you select "Yes" WazTree Lite will attempt to make that new
directory and copy your requested file to it. If you select "No"
or "Esc" it will abort the operation. If the file exists in the
directory of which you are copying to, you will get a message
asking if you want to overwrite the existing file. At the bottom
of the screen there will be a display with an asterisk next to it,
the file you are about to overwrite and just above it will be the
file written. You can copy multiple files by marking the files you
wish to copy. This is done with the keyboard using the / key.
Pressing / will place a check mark √ next to the file or clicking
on file with mouse. WazTree Lite automatically increments to the
next file when this function is used. When using the mouse, click
on the file to get the check mark. If you wish to check all files
in the present directory, press the asterisk key * or click on the
check mark in the lower left hand corner of the Directory frame
with the mouse. Using any of the check commands will toggle the
present state.
Example: If all files were checked, using the all check function
(*, Click √) again will simply un-check all the files.
Checking a checked file will un-check it.
If you have multiple files selected and you select the copy
function, WazTree Lite will ask if you want to automatically
overwrite existing files without prompt to ask whether you want to
overwrite or not. Answering "Yes" will allow WazTree Lite to
automatically overwrite any existing files by the same name without
asking your permission. Use this only when you are very confident
and want to save time. Answering "No" will copy all files and
stopping at any file that exist by the same name in that directory
asking if you want to overwrite. The copy function will indicate
errors if there are problems reading or writing file(s). These
errors will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. You also
have a configuration option which can effect the speed of copying.
The option will allow WazTree Lite to skip over copying and file
that has the same name, size and date/time. This is turned on by
default. See reconfigure for more information on WazTree Lite
configuration. From the Tree window if you select Copy command
WazTree Lite will go to that directory and check off all files
preparing to copy entire directory.
Move file(s)
Command: M, ALT M or via main menu
You can move single and multiple files the same way you do with the
copy command. See Copy File(s).
Delete file(s) or directory
Command: D, ALT D, DEL or via main menu
FILE To delete a file, using WazTree Lite, place the cursor
over the file that you wish to delete by moving the
cursor keys or the mouse. To delete, press command.
DIRECTORY To delete an empty directory, using WazTree Lite, place
the cursor over the empty directory that you wish to
delete by moving the cursor keys or the mouse. To
delete, press command.
You can do multiple file deletes. Multiple files are selected with
check command /, * or with mouse click on file or √ in Directory
window (see check command). This is similar to using the copy and
move commands. Use caution with multiple deletes when using the
automatic delete versus prompting on each deletion and having user
confirm delete. You can not delete multiple directories.
Note: When directories are deleted, the tree window is not
automatically updated. If you wish to update the tree
window use Tree Drive command T. The new directory will
be displayed automatically in Directory window which is
constantly updated.
DEL acts only on one file at a time regardless how many are √
checked. It is provided so if multiple files are √ checked and you
want to delete just one DEL will delete one without going through
all √ checked files.
Make Directory
Command: \ or via main menu
To make a new directory press command and WazTree Lite will ask for
the disk and complete path name for directory.
Example: "C:\NEWDIR" will attempt to create a sub-directory
"NEWDIR" on the C: drive.
If WazTree Lite can not create the new directory it will display a
quick message to the bottom of the screen indicating the failure to
create the directory. Errors are typically illegal name or
directory already exists. WazTree Lite does not report specific
reasons for error.
Note: When new directories are created the tree window is
automatically updated if in tree window of drive this
will take some time. If you create a directory in the
directory window and toggle to tree window it will not be
updated until you issue T command.
Volume label change
Command: V, ALT V or main menu
You can change the volume label of the current directory drive by
pressing command and entering a new volume name. The current

different sorts: Name, Size, Date, DOS mode, and Extension.
Sorting by name will sort all the files by their names
alphabetically. Sorting by size will sort all files by size from
smallest to largest. Sorting by date will sort all files from
oldest to newest. Sorting by extension will sort all files in the
directory by their extension alphabetically. Sorting by DOS will
sort the same way DOS sorts files. WazTree Lite defaults to sort
by name.

you use.
C H A P T E R - 3 Miscellaneous Desktop Tools
Applications Menu
Command: F4 or click on "APPS" in Directory window frames
The APPS Menu is the list of your commonly run programs which you
have configured WazTree Lite to use. WazTree Lite has twenty user
programs for this menu which you set up yourself using the F2
(edit) or F7 (browse) commands from Application menu. Do not run
TSR (memory resident) programs from WazTree Lite via this menu, F5
or the X command. Always load TSR's before using WazTree Lite.
The application menu provides twenty programs with a twenty
character description field for each which will be displayed in
menu. The application menu has a local Copy command which allows
you to copy one of the twenty Apps and place it in another
location. This may be useful if you have some similar application
that you want to set up quickly. Even though WazTree Lite provides
forty applications it is not limited to only forty! Using the
local Save and Retrieve commands allows you to swap in and out
different sets of twenty applications.
Print text files & adjust printer
Command: P, ALT P, F3 or via main menu
To print an ASCII text file from WazTree Lite, place the cursor
over the file you wish to print and press command. When you select
print, you will get a print menu which has seven functions.
Four of them are for controlling the printer:
1. Fonts Selection (20 to choose from for dot matrix printers)
2. Line Feed (forward paper one line)
3. Form Feed (forward paper one page)
4. Reset (Which is a hard reset to the printer, power on default)
If you select the font selection, it will provide another
window of which there are multiple fonts selections (05, 10,
12, 17, and 20 pitch) in either draft, bold, italic, or bold
italic modes. This provides the dot matrix user with easy way
to change fonts on their printer remotely. Using the cursor
key or the mouse, select the font you wish.
5. Header
Selecting the Header enables you to type in custom Header that
will be printed on each page of the text file you print from
"Go Print" choice. This header will be used if you select the
option to print the Header. Once you have typed in the
Header, WazTree Lite will remember this header.
6. Go Print
Once the printer is set, select "go print". First WazTree
Lite will ask if you want to include the Header at the top of
each page. It will display the current Header at the bottom
of the screen. It will next ask if you want to include page
numbers at the bottom of each page. Then it will ask if you
want five space left margin added. Upon completion of this,
WazTree Lite will go and print the selected file provided the
printer is on line.
7. Print Raw
Once the printer is set, select "Print Raw". First WazTree
Lite will ask how many lines per page (0 for no form feeds).
Upon completion of this, WazTree Lite will go and print the
selected file provided the printer is on line.
Go to DOS
Command: F5 or via main menu
WazTree Lite will try to make as much memory available to use in
this mode by swapping WazTree Lite to EMS or to disk and run
COMMAND.COM and put you at a DOS prompt. To return to WazTree Lite
from DOS, you must type "Exit" at the DOS prompt. The "X" command
will act the same as this if a executable file is selected.
Note: Some applications you run may require you to increase the
FILES statement in your config.sys file because WazTree
Lite will have opened files used when you are in DOS. If
an application will not run try increasing your number of
files, reboot system and try again. Do not run TSR
(memory resident) software. Always load TSR's before
using WazTree Lite.
C H A P T E R - 4 Miscellaneous commands
Run a program (.COM, .EXE, .BAT)
Command: X, ALT X, click X or via main menu
To execute another program from WazTree Lite select a .BAT, .COM or
.EXE file and press command. If WazTree Lite can run this program,
it will write WazTree Lite itself to expanded memory or disk if not
enough memory available. If there is not enough space on disk it
will simply abort the operation. You will get a message on the
screen while this happening showing that WazTree Lite is being
swapped out to memory. When you exit the program, it will return
to WazTree Lite in the same directory that you had left. If you
select a non-executable file, WazTree Lite will run Command.Com
(see Chapter 3 "Go to DOS").
Note: Use this command to determine what programs will run
properly under WazTree Lite before adding them to your
App Menu. Do not run TSR (memory resident) software.
Always load TSR's before using WazTree Lite.
File mask change
Command: F, ALT F or via main menu
WazTree Lite defaults to *.* file mask so all files are displayed.
You can change the default file mask by entering command and typing
new file mask. Drive #0 and Drive #1 have their own file masks
which are stored by WazTree Lite from session to another.
Examples:
*.EXE <- will display only the .exe files in all of your
directories.
B???????.* <- will display only files that begin with B.
Screen clear and hold
Command: H, ALT H or via main menu
This is a screen saver for WazTree Lite when not in use. It will
clear the screen and put date and running time at bottom of screen
until key or mouse is pressed.
Tree drive
Command: T, ALT T or via main menu
This command is provided to re-scan or log current disk drive. It
is only useful when you want to update the tree window. When you
rename, delete or add directories in directory window the tree
window is not updated, using this command will update the tree
window. The other use is if you log onto another drive from your
Directory window and want to change the tree window to that drive.
Note: If you select a new drive in directory window then press
escape key WazTree Lite will log new drive tree in tree
window.
File display
Command: Z, ALT Z or via main menu
File display is only a toggle so that the Directory window will
display either file name and extension only or file name,
extension, size, attribute, date, time, and day. When you select
the full display mode, you might want to zoom (see adjusting window
size) the window so you can see the entire contents. In the Tree
window it toggles a drawn tree and complete path display.
Screen mode
Command: F10 or via main menu
If you have an EGA or VGA display, you can toggle between two Video
Modes, 25 line or 43(EGA) or 50(VGA line screens). WazTree Lite
defaults to the 25 line mode on start up. To change modes press
command. This command will do nothing on non Ega/Vga displays.
Adjust window sizes and location
Command: F9, via main menu Re-size, Relocate or via hot spots
You can adjust the size of the windows in WazTree Lite easily via
mouse click and drag. Both the Tree and Directory Windows can have
their size and location changed.
ZOOM Press F9 or click on the upper right hand corner (small
up arrow), it will toggle from maximum to last adjusted
size. When zoomed the top right hand corner will display
a small up/down arrow.
RESIZE Click on ≡ (lower right corner) and drag mouse or select
re-size via main menu will allow you to adjust size of
window in small increments.
RELOCATE Click on top of window frame and drag or select relocate
via main menu will allow you to move window around the
screen. It is easier to make these adjustments using a
mouse, the keyboard method is provided for those without
a mouse.
Set hot KEY or ALT key
Command: F6, via main menu
WazTree Lite defaults to the ALT mode which means all alpha key
commands are executed via ALT/ALPHA KEY instead of just the ALPHA
KEY. This provides all the alpha keys for quickly moving around a
directory. In the default ALT mode you can press an alpha key to
bring you to the first file that begins with that letter. An
example is if you had a directory with many files in it and the
file you wanted began with "P" you could press P instead of
scrolling through the files. Using the ALT mode requires all
commands be entered as ALT/ALPHA if you select KEY mode then just
pressing the alpha key by itself will execute command. The state
of this mode is displayed in upper left hand corner at all times.
Help
Command: F1, via main menu
Help is available from Tree window, Directory window, App menu,
Main menu, Editor and File Viewer. It will pop on top of where you
are and provide and index so you can quickly go to the help you
want. There are highlighted words in some help screens that will
take you right to another screen without returning to index. It is
mouse supported and should answer most of your questions about
WazTree Lite while using it. Its frame can also be moved and
re-sized.
Check √ command
Single Command: /, click file Multiple: *, click √
This is the command to use when using multiple file commands such
as Copy, Delete, Move, View and change Attr/date. When you use
this command it will place a √ check mark next to the file. The
checks are removed when executing a multi file command, when you
select another directory or by executing the command which will un-
check each file as it progresses.
C H A P T E R - 5 Re-configuring WazTree Lite

reconfigure them if you had any typo's. When you select App menu,
the forty user programs will appear in a menu with a hot key. The
first letter in your name is the hot key. Then using the cursor
keys or the mouse, you can select one of the programs or click on
it with mouse.
