Welcome to WinDirs v2.0!

Version 2.0 has many improvements to speed up your file
management jobs and has added a seperate copy and search
sub-program.

WinDirs is a complete file management utility.  It allows 
you to create directories, delete directories, copy and 
move files, search for files, view and execute files, 
rearrange your Windows items and groups, and it includes a 
built-in uncompression program which will extract ZIP, 
LZH or ARJ files and Expand Microsoft's compressed files.  
WinDirs also has a file labeling function which allows you 
to attach short descriptions to your files to describe what 
they are.  It has a built-in graphics viewer for BMP and 
GIF files and an icon viewer and editor.  In addition, 
WinDirs gives you access to many DOS functions such as 
file attributions and Check Disk. 

To load WinDirs onto your system, go to the File menu 
of your Windows Program Manager and choose Run.  Choose 
the WinDirs setup.exe file from the directory or disk 
and click on OK.  The setup program will load all the 
necessary files onto your system and create a Windows 
program group for WinDirs.

In order for the uncompression portion of the program to 
run properly, you will also need to have the the following 
archiving utilities fully extracted in a directory which is 
located in your path:

For the PKZip program,PKZ204G.EXE; 
For the ARJ program, ARJ239.EXE; 
For the LHA program, LHA212.EXE.
(the EXE filename may depend on the version of the program.). 

From PKZ204g.exe, Dos-It uses Pkzip.exe, Pkunzip.exe, Pkzipfix.exe, 
and Zip2exe.exe. 
From Arj239.exe all you will need is Arj.exe. 
From Lha212.exe lha.exe is all that is needed.  

Please ensure these files are in your path.  These files are not 
furnished as part of the WinDirs Program.  They can be obtained
from most online services or BBSs.

You also need to have the VBRUN300.DLL and THREED.VBX files in 
your Windows\System directory in order for WinDirs to run properly.

After unzipping the WinDirs.zip file, you should see the following
files:

files are added to your Windows\System directory.  The WinDirs .exe
and .hlp files and the readme.wri file goes into the WinDirs directory.

No changes are made to your autoexec.bat or any .ini files.
