SAY FOLKS... FELLOW HACKERS...AND WINDOWITES,

   Just too exciting for words, eh?  You know, the latest and greatest from
the MS folks.... yes, WINDOWS 3.0.  What?  You haven't got anything to run 
yet?  Well have no fear for Click! Filer ( Windows 3.0 ) version 1.0 is here 
to manage all those hundreds of files you'll be getting real soon for 
WINDOWS 3.0.  Brought to you by non other than The TrogloByte, hisself!

   Enough fanfare on to the documentation.

WHAT IS CLICK! FILER ?

   This program is essentially a file managing utility for those of you who
find Program Manager inadequate for power file management. Basically you are
presented with 2 main objects.  The Source and the Destination.  Each of 
these is represented as a File Listbox and a Directory Listbox.

   Single Clicking the directories moves you through the disk drives and the
directories.  Single clicking filenames selects them for action by
pushbuttons.  Source and Dest both have the ability to Delete, Rename, select
all and select none.  Also you may create directories and remove empty 
directories.

   In the center of the Click! Filer from top to bottom are the following
push buttons.  The top 3 are respectively  1. Src Directory copy to Dest,
2. Swap Source and Dest  and 3. Dest Directory copy to Src.  The next row
is Copy all selected Source files to the Destination directory and Move
all selected Source files to the Dest Directory.

   The Next 2 rows are only of value if you are a user of PKPAK, PKUNPAK,
PKZIP and PKUNZIP.  These are wonderful Shareware programs which I hope 
you use and support.  If you don't support them, please don't use Click 
to use them.  These programs are by PKWare and are copyrighted programs.

   The best visual response in Click using these compression utilities is
accomplished by having an appropriate .PIF file for each of them.  I have
supplied examples, please edit them to reflect the correct PATHS.

   You must enter an Archive name for any of the above to act on in the
Archive Edit Box in the center of the program.

   The bottom right text box reflects the combined sixe of the selected
source files.  The bottom left text box reflects the size of the dest
drive.  The 3 buttons by each are obvious in their actions.

   Empty buttons are for future expansion of features.... plenty are 
possible and in the works.  

   The Default button loads the default settings for Click Directories
 and extension masks, as well as the size formats.  The Edit defaults
button provides a Dialog Box to set new current defaults.  These can be
set into the CLICK.INI file to initialize the program on startup.  You 
can always retrieve these from this box as well.

   Settings for PAK,UNPAK,ZIP and UNZIP can also be set into the CLICK.INI
files or retrieved as well, in their Dialog Boxes.   These dialogs appear 
in response to button clicks.  

   The top of the Window to Click! Filer, provides an edit box, which in 
which you can enter search masks and new paths.  

   Click! Filer is hardly perfect, besides needing a real manual ( also 
int he works ) it could use refinement in it's response to the user.  How
this will evolve depends on you.  Send me messages via PEOPLELINK and GENIE.
I'll try to respond to concerns and suggestions.  Just be patient.

   Now for the required.... This program while possibly very handy isn't
guaranteed to do anything.  And I'm not responsible if you create any
catastrophic event while using this program.  Use at your own risk and 
hopefully it is an enjoyable experience. Also, if anyone out there has
a protected program with the name Click! Filer or very close, don't get
mad at me, just tell me via PEOPLELINK and GENIE and I'll change the
name and post a message of apology for any confusion.  We're all trying
to have fun here. Also please do not charge anyone for this program
other than cost of disk or transmission over the wires.  It is FreeWare and
will remain so for as long as I can keep it that way.  It you like it
so much you want to give me money, please write a check to a nice ecology
group or something similar and tell 'em it's by my recommendation.

   ONE LAST ITEM.....

   Click! Filer is dedicated to the ever vigilant ever toiling programmers
of the world.  For you , in the privacy of your own computer, please feel
free to link to Click! FIler for development purposes only.  You can
use the .DLL easily, please do not include it attached in this way in a 
commercial release.  

   The use is simple, just link with CLIK.LIB.  There is an include file
called CLIKEXP.H which has the prototypes for the importable functions.
Call ClickIn( ) once to initialize.  Then call DoClick().  When you are 
exiting your program call ClickOut() to shut down the Click! Filer DLL.

   The CLIKEXP.H file has explanations of the parameters you need to pass.


...... Late changes and editions.... You have an Edit Button , you can 
configure the editor of choice with the Edit Defs.  Click will pass the
highlighted files in the SRC directory.

...... A Run button has been added as well.... select one file in the 
source directory and click RUN.... you may enter args at the dialog 
which follows or just click OK....

..... There are 12 user programmable buttons on the bottom of the
screen.  User the User Defs button to configure them.  As you select each
button inthe configure dialog, you can edit and SET with the SET button.
If you don't set it, the changes are forgotten.  You can start a program
with 
   1. no arguments 
   2. fixed arguments ( entered in edit box and stored )
   3. dialog entry of arguments
   4. cmd plus the highlighted src files

   A better DOC will follow I just couldn't let this sit here.. have fun
