After starting PowerCD the main ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
screen is displayed. It contains of │┌──────────────────────────┐ ┌────────┐ │
the 4 main windows: ││ ├┐│ ├┐│
││ │││ │││
■ the file selector window: ││ │││ │││
This window is used to navigate ││ │││ │││
through the CD's directories and ││ │││ │││
to select one or multiple files to ││ file selecor window │││ menu │││
execute/view or to copy them to ││ │││ │││
the hard disk. ││ │││ │││
││ │││ │││
■ the directory information window: ││ │││ │││
If there is a "FILE_ID.DIZ" file ││ │││ │││
containing information about the │└┬─────────────────────────┘│└┬───────┘││
program in the current directory │ └──────────────────────────┘ └────────┘│
it will be displayed in this │┌──────────────────────────┐ ┌────────┐ │
window. ││ ├┐│ ├┐│
││ │││ │││
■ the menu window: ││ │││ │││
contains the main menu buttons for ││ directory information │││ status │││
viewing/playing/executing files, ││ │││ │││
copying files to hard disk, to go ││ │││ │││
to the options menu, view the help ││ │││ │││
text or to quit PowerCD. ││ │││ │││
│└┬─────────────────────────┘│└┬───────┘││
■ the status window: │ └──────────────────────────┘ └────────┘│
shows information about the drive └────────────────────────────────────────┘
space usage of the files as well
as program version and licensee.
To change between the file selector, the directory information window and the
menu buttons, press the <TAB> key or select it by clicking the mouse on it. The
window which is currently active is emphasized by a white double border.
When starting PowerCD or after activating a menu button the file selector
window is activated automatically.
Menu buttons are activated by changing to the respective button and confirming
by the <ENTER> key, by pressing the respective function key or by clicking with
the mouse on it.
THE FILE SELECTOR WINDOW:
─────────────────────────
The file selector is the ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
most important instrument of │┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐├┐
PowerCD. Within this window ││D:\POWERCD\ │││
you can browse through the │└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘││
CD's directories. The │ ││
handling is comparable to │ Name Size File type ││
that of the Norton Commander │┌────────────┐┌─────────┐┌─────────────────┐┌─┐││
or similar programs. ││.. ││>UP--DIR<││ ││▒│││
││SPEECH ││<SUB-DIR>││ ││▒│││
In the upper part of the ││testhelp txt││ 335││Text file ││▒│││
window the current path is ││testpic gif││ 62773││Graphic file ││▒│││
shown. Right under it there :: :: :: ::░:::
are the columns for the .. .. .. .. ...
name, the size and the type │└────────────┘└─────────┘└─────────────────┘└─┘││
of the single files. └┬──────────────────────────────────────────────┘│
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Now the files (and subdirectories) contained in the current directory are
displayed. In the name column the name and the extension of the files are
shown. Right beside it the size of the file is displayed in bytes. If there is
displayed "<SUB-DIR>" instead of a number, it is a subdirectory. ">UP--DIR<"
means that it is a superior directory. Right beside the file type is shown.
If there is no file type then this file cannot be executed/viewed.
The file selector can be moved within the directory by pressing the cursor-up
or the cursor down key. It can be moved one page up or down by pressing the
page-up or page-down key.
If there are more files within the directory than there can be displayed in
the window, the grey bar at the right side of the window shows the relative
position of the window within the directory list. Move the selector down over
the border of the window to scroll down the directory.
If a file type is shown beside the file name, there is a program connected to
it. Then you can execute/view/play the file by pressing <F3> or <ENTER>.
The window can also be operated by the mouse. A single click on a file moves
the selector to this file. A double click on a directory is used to change into
this directory. A click on the menu button "execute" executes/views/plays the
file the selector is currently marking.
Selecting files (for copying to the hard disk) is done by pressing the <Ins>
key. A selected file is coloured white. Un-selecting a file is also done by
pressing <Ins>.
To copy files press the <F5> key. If there are any files selected, these files
will be copied. Otherwise the currently selected file is copied. (see also
"the copy window")
THE DIRECTORY INFORMATION WINDOW
────────────────────────────────
If there's a "FILE_ID.DIZ" directory information file in the current directory,
it will be shown in this window. This file contains information about the
program stored in this directory.
If the file's text is larger than the window the grey bar at the right side
shows the relative position of the window within the text.
The window may be scrolled by the cursor-up/down or the page-up/down keys, it
must be active.
THE MENU WINDOW
───────────────
The menu window contains the buttons for the main menu functions. The buttons
may be selected by
- pressing the respective function key,
- changing to the button with the <Tab> key and confirming it with <Enter>
- clicking on it with the mouse
F3 - Execute: executes the current selected file or starts the program to
view/play this file type.
F5 - Copy: leads to the copy menu
F9 - Options: leads to the options menu
F1 - Help: shows (this) help text
F10 - Quit: quits PowerCD
THE STATUS WINDOW
─────────────────
This window contains following information:
- the number of files and directories within the current directory and the
drive space used by them,
- the number of selected files and the drive space used by them,
- the version and the copyright message of the program, and
- the license number for this CD
This window cannot be activated, as it only displays information.

In the options menu more or less important options for the work with PowerCD
can be selected. The option menu divides into the different option points on
the left and the function buttons on the right side.
The <Tab> key is used to change between the single option points and the
function buttons. To activate (or deactivate) option points press the <Space>
key. Function buttons are to be confirmed by the <Enter> key.
Alternatively the mouse may be used. Option points and function buttons are
activated by clicking with the mouse on it.
Additional information about the licensee can be found on the left bottom.

Please excuse the extreme bad english of mine. Though I understand this
language pretty well I have my problems to translate a quite complicated text.
But I think this program is quite easy to use, isn't it?
