| All rights reserved |
|-------------------------------|
EDDY is ALL of these:
Full-screen directory editor
Disk and directory manager
Sector editor
File finder (by name, attributes
and/or timestamp)
File viewer/patcher/comparer
File backup utility
Data recovery utility
String finder/replacer

...and MUCH more!
EDDY requires MS-DOS 2.0 or newer, and uses about 180 KB memory.
See the file EDDY_WHY.DOC for some of the reasons you should use EDDY.
The complete EDDY package includes the following files:
1. EDDYREAD.ME - This file
2. EDDY.COM - The main program
3. EDDY.AUX - Contains overlays for LOOK, Update, HELP, and menus
4. EDDY.USE - Sample file to illustrate Point-and-Shoot commands
5. REGISTER.BAT - Batch file to print the registration form for EDDY
6. EDDY.DOC - Complete User's Manual
7. EDDY_HST.DOC - History of changes, by version
8. EDDY_REG.DOC - Registration form
9. EDDY_WHY.DOC - Reasons why you should use EDDY
10. VENDOR.DOC - Conditions for commercial distribution of EDDY
The EDDY files are packaged for distribution in two formats:
Package format 1 contains all files in ready-to-use form. About 450
KB disk space required, including documentation files.
Package format 2 has the documentation files (numbers 6 - 10 in the
list above) combined as a compressed, self-extracting file,
EDDY_DOC.EXE, which was created using LHA.EXE, Copyright Haruyasu
Yoshizaki. About 270 KB disk space required.
Package format 2 is used for distributing EDDY on 360 KB, 5-1/4" disks.
All other distributions use package format 1.
Installation
------------
1. Copy all files to the disk/directory you'll use to execute EDDY. If
one of the files you just copied was EDDY.DOC, the installation is
now complete.
2. If your set of files includes the file EDDY_DOC.EXE, you have the
EDDY distribution package format 2. To install EDDY on a system
with no hard drive from this package:
a. Copy EDDY_DOC.EXE to a separate, blank, formatted diskette. The
decompressed documentation files won't fit on a single 360K
floppy with the other EDDY files.
b. To access the documentation files, run EDDY_DOC.EXE from this
separate diskette. This will decompress the User's Manual and
other information files. These files will require about 250 KB
of disk space when decompressed.
Once EDDY is installed, the simplest way to get familiar with it is to
just type "EDDY" and [Enter]. There is no danger of damage to your disk
data, because no changes will be made to any of your directories or
files unless you explicitly tell EDDY to do so. A message telling you
what is about to occur is always displayed, and a confirmation keypress
is always required.
Conditions of Use
-----------------
EDDY is supplied as-is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed
or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchant-
ability and the warranties of fitness for any purpose. Copies of the
program may not be sold for more than the cost of the medium they are
copied on, plus reasonable handling charges. EDDY and its User's Manual
may be copied ad lib provided all files, including the author's
copyright notice and disclaimers of warranty are reproduced in full.
Although EDDY is distributed in this way, it is NOT free and is NOT in
the public domain. After a reasonable trial period, if you find EDDY to
be useful and satisfactory to you, and you continue to use EDDY, then
please send a usage and registration fee of $20.00 to:
John Scofield
22304 Gilmore St.
Canoga Park, CA 91303
USA
This low fee entitles you to technical support as described in EDDY.DOC,
to receive one free update, subsequent updates at cost of distribution,
and to the satisfaction of knowing you have done "the right thing".
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
