This is the Windows README file for PocketD Plus v4.4 - PocketWare
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PocketD Plus is an extremely powerful DOS-based file manager that
allows the user to perform file manipulations far beyond the
capacity of Windows Program Manager. PocketD Plus received "BEST
UTILITY" awards in 1992, 1994 and 1995 by PsL, WHAT PC and
Ziff-Davis (BBSCON-TWO).
PocketD Plus is a Shareware product, and requires a registration
payment after a 30-day trial period. PocketWare - ASP Member
Using PocketD inside Windows
----------------------------
The menu-driven interface "MenuD" for PocketD Plus is not a Windows
application, but can be easily used from within Windows. It will
support a Microsoft mouse, but only if a mouse driver has already
been installed (e.g. MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS). The mouse interface
is optimised for efficient use within MenuD rather than the more
common Windows-style usage.
PocketD Plus for Windows?
------------------------
This is a future project. Existing registered PocketD users will be
able to upgrade to PocketD for Windows for a heavily discounted
price, when it becomes available.
What is PocketD used for?
-------------------------
PocketD allows the user to look for, browse, examine, copy and
manipulate files with the flexibility of a programming language. It
is astonishingly powerful for performing operations for which there
is no other reasonable solution.
Documentation?
--------------
MenuD provides full access to the on-line guide and manual which
describes each of the 220 options in detail and provides worked
examples. The install disk also includes printable documentation
files giving quick examples, network management uses and a general
introduction.
The registered version comes with a comprehensive bound 110-page
pocket-sized manual which is packed with many example applications
from common day-to-day disk and network management to exotic
examples such as the automatic generation of C source code.
