~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ClickDOS II V1.20 - 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 1.20. 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): 47K on disk, 62K in memory while it is iconified, 78K 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.
