ClickDOS II V1.00 - by Gary Scott Yates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright © 1989 Gary S. Yates
IMPORTANT! ClickDOS II is NOT public domain! See the distribution
notice in the file ClickDOS.doc.
ClickDOS was my entry into the ever growing number of "directory
utility" programs. I wrote the original ClickDOS primarily
because of my frustrations with other directory utility programs.
ClickDOS has been and continues to be a successful shareware
venture for me. I thank each and every person who has
contributed to the project. I hope you all have enjoyed using
ClickDOS.
This disk contains the second generation of the ClickDOS utility
- ClickDOS II version 1.00. ClickDOS II is a MAJOR upgrade of
the popular ClickDOS V2.06. Just about every suggestion I
received about ClickDOS has been incorporated into ClickDOS II.
I could not possibly list everything which has been changed or
enhanced. Therefore, I recommend to everyone, even experienced
users of the original ClickDOS, that you read the documentation
entirely to see what ClickDOS II can do for you.
If you are new to ClickDOS, I know that directory utilities are
a-dime-a-dozen, but take a moment to look (and play with)
ClickDOS II. I think you will like. Many others have found the
original program useful and I think this one is even better.
Here are some of the things which I think make ClickDOS II better
than other directory utilities:
- ClickDOS II is reasonably small (for what it does): 42K on
disk, 56K in memory while it is iconified, 75K while its window
is fully open.
- It uses a single window on the Workbench screen which can be
iconified so it doesn't gobble up your chip memory or waste
memory with bells and whistles.
- It does not rely on other programs for most of its functions.
Type and Show functions, for example, are built in. This makes
these function much faster to use.
- ClickDOS II's data structures are dynamically allocated and it
uses Fast memory for everything it can. Therefore, it's very
memory efficient.
- ClickDOS II's gadget and mouse controls are, in my opinion,
very logical and easy to use.
PRINTING THE ClickDOS_II.doc FILE
The ClickDOS_II.doc file is formated to print on any standard
eighty character wide sixty-six lines per page printer. To print
it:
1. Make sure you have the margins in Preferences set to zero for
the left and eighty for the right.
2. Position your printer to the very first line on the page and
set the top of form (TOF). You can make sure that the top of form
is set correctly by turning the printer off and on. Some printers
have a TOF button on the front panel.
3. Copy the file to the printer using the command:
COPY ClickDOS_II.doc PRT:
or use the ClickDOS II PRINT action.
