Night Version 3.00
Documention
This program is designed to be totally user friendly, providing for
a novice to pop it up and use it without any prior computer experience.
Though it was tested under many different system configurations and
environments, it's recommended that if you have any problems
what-so-ever in getting it running the first time, start your system
from the normal DOS prompt without a lot of utilities and TSR's loaded.
The program was tested on the SONY CDROM system and a couple other
generic ones. It worked fine.
Getting started:
.......
Just type "NIGHT" at your DOS prompt ">". The first time it will
ask you some basic questions about your system, create a work area, and
a simple batch file to complete installation. After running it the
first time and typing "install" you shouldn't have any thing left but to
use it by noticing the commands on the screens.
.........
Commands Are:
The commands available from the first screen (The Directory
Catagories) are "#, S, U, E, D, and Q."
(#) is number for accepting the number of the directory area you
wish to list.
(S) is an option to do a search of all the directories for a
specific file or file description. You can also do a ALT
S to do a another search for another key word inside your
first search.
(U) is the a users list directory built for all the files you
searched for it will be there till you do another S from
the main menu.
(E) is if you want to change your config of the cdrom
(D) to drop to dos from our program to format floppy disk or
or do other dos commands
(Q) is to quit the program completly
(F1) is a built in help file to help you with the commands on
this cdrom and may be pressed anyway inside the NIGHT
.........
After entering a directory area you have other options.
Press CR to select the highlight file (or tagged files for handling
From the Area of CR (carrage return):
(X) Extract file(s) from the CDROM.
(Q) Quit back to the file dir
(V) View contents of packed (ZIP) files plus read docs
(D) Shell to DOS
(C) Copy files from the CDROM
(G) Go back to area were you have unziped programs.
(+) Key will tag all files
(-) Key will untag all files
(Spacebar) Tag one file at a time
The V will allow you to read doc for that file you are viewing if
there are doc files in the zip. The X will extact the file to the
work area were you may read docs execute the program and then delate
them so you are ready to work on another file.
......
Just like I said before, the program is user friendly and require
very little documention. Running the program at default should provide
you with most of what you will need.
