- DJSLEEVE, A DISKETTE SLEEVE PRINTER FOR DESKJET PRINTERS
- ============================================================
-
- Tired of writing all the names of the files on your diskettes on those
- tiny labels that are supplied with them? If you're like me, you have
- quite a few floppies full of archived files to store each week.
-
- DJSLEEVE (Version 2.0) will print out sleeves for your 3-1/2" and
- 5-1/4" diskettes which will contain:
-
- o An optional Title (up to 59 characters)
- o Number of files and directories on the disk
- o Amount of storage space remaining (in bytes) on the disk
- o Name, Extension, Date, and Size of all* the files
- in the root directory and all subdirectories on
- the diskette
-
- * Up to 172 files on a 3 1/2" diskette, 196 files on a
- 5 1/4" diskette.
-
- All you will have to do is cut each sleeve out, fold as indicated and
- tape or glue the side flaps, and you will have a nice storage sleeve
- for all your diskettes. Cutting and taping takes too much time?
- What about all the time you spend getting writer's cramp trying to
- get all those tiny little file names on your labels!
-
- Be creative. Use colored paper for disks containing the same types of
- files, e.g. clip art, PageMaker or Ventura files, spreadsheets, etc.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- o IBM PC XT, AT, or compatible
- o One floppy disk drive
- o DOS 3.0 or higher
- o DeskJet, DeskJet+ or DeskJet 500(C) printer connected to
- LPT1:, LPT2: or LPT3:
-
- To use the program from a hard disk:
-
- Copy the file DJSLEEVE.EXE to your hard disk. Placing it in a
- subdirectory which is part of your PATH statement will allow you
- to run the program from any subdirectory by typing DJSLEEVE at the
- DOS command line, otherwise you will have to log on to the
- subdirectory containing the DJSLEEVE.EXE file before typing
- DJSLEEVE on the command line.
-
- To use the program from a floppy disk drive:
-
- Place the floppy disk containing the DJSLEEVE.EXE file in Drive A
- or Drive B. Log on to that drive by typing A: or B:, whichever is
- appropriate. Load the program by typing DJSLEEVE on the command
- line. When the program has been loaded into memory, you may
- remove the program disk from the disk drive if you need to use
- that disk drive to place a disk for making a sleeve.
-
- To install DJSLEEVE as a DOS application running under Windows 3.x:
-
- Copy the files DJSLEEVE.EXE, DJSLEEVE.ICO and DJSLEEVE.PIF into
- the subdirectory on your hard disk containing your Windows files.
-
- Load Windows as you normally do. From the Program Manager, click
- on your Main group (or whatever group you wish to install DJSLEEVE
- in) and then pull down the File/New/Program Item menu. Type
- "DJSleeve" on the first line, then DJSLEEVE.PIF on the second
- line. Click on "Change icon," then type "DJSLEEVE.ICO" in the
- first box, click on View Next, then click on OK, then OK again.
- The DJSLEEVE icon should appear in your program group.
-
- To run this program in Windows, double click on the DJSLEEVE icon.
-
- To use the program from the DOS prompt, turn your printer on (it must
- be connected to LPT1:, LPT2:, or LPT3:), then type DJSLEEVE on the
- command line. The program will prompt you to place a disk in drive A
- or B, then to enter the title you want to put on the sleeve (optional,
- just press ENTER to skip the title), the disk drive your disk is in (A
- or B), and the size of the disk, 3 1/2" or 5 1/4". You will then be
- prompted for the parallel port your DeskJet is connected to: LPT1:,
- LPT2: or LPT3:. Type the appropriate number, then press ENTER.
-
- The program will read the disk (a message "WORKING, PLEASE WAIT A
- MOMENT" will be displayed), then print the sleeve. This process will
- take a few seconds, more if your particular floppy disk drive is on the
- slow side, or there are many files and/or subdirectories on the floppy
- disk. After the sleeve is printed, you will be prompted to print
- additional sleeves if you like (type Y or y), or exit (type N or n).
-
- Cut out each sleeve along the solid lines, fold back on the dotted
- lines, then glue or tape the flaps to the back. If your 3 1/2" sleeve
- contains more than 132 files, an additional 44 files will print outside
- the margin of the sleeve itself. You can cut this section out
- separately, and slip into the sleeve along with your diskette.
-
- I welcome your comments about this program. If you have suggestions
- for further enhancements, please feel free to contact me on CompuServe
- (75160,2530) or by mail.

-
- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
- If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
- register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
- while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the
- software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
- below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
- authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
- good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
- the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example,
- some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
- copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
- software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
- Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
- can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
- Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of DJSLEEVE must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "DJSLEEVE is
- supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied,
- including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of
- fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct
- or consequential, which may result from the use of DJSLEEVE."
-
- DJSLEEVE is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user
- for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not
- give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-
- supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality
- software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
- continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find
- that you are using DJSLEEVE and continue to use DJSLEEVE after a reasonable
- trial period, you must make a registration payment of $14.95 to Jerry M.
- Johnson. The $14.95 registration fee will license one copy for use on any
- one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book.
- An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and
- may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
- there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being
- used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons
- at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of DJSLEEVE must register and pay for their copies of
- DJSLEEVE within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-
- License arrangements may be made by contacting Jerry M. Johnson.
-
- Anyone distributing DJSLEEVE for any kind of remuneration must first contact
- Jerry M. Johnson at the address below for authorization. This authorization
- will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the Association
- of Shareware Professionals as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
- distributors, and such distributors may begin offering DJSLEEVE immediately
- (However Jerry M. Johnson must still be advised so that the distributor
- can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of DJSLEEVE.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of DJSLEEVE along to your friends for
- evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that
- they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest
- version of DJSLEEVE, and will be notified of future enhancements.
-
- Jerry M. Johnson is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals
- (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you.
- If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member
- by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman
- can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not
- provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
- Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
- message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
