- 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 (hex and/or ASCII)
- RAM editor
- DOS shell
-
- ...and MUCH more!
-
- EDDY requires MS-DOS 2.0 or newer, and uses about 180 KB memory.
-
- The complete EDDY package includes the following files:
-
- 1. EDDYREAD.ME - This file
- 2. EDDY.COM - The main program
- 3. EDDY.AUX - Overlays for LOOK, Update, HELP, and menus
- 4. EDDY.USE - Sample file to illustrate Point-and-Shoot commands
- 5. EDDY.DOC - User's Manual
- 6. EDDY_HST.DOC - History of changes, by version
- 7. EDDY_REG.DOC - Registration form
- 8. REGISTER.BAT - Batch file to print the registration form for EDDY
- 9. VENDOR.DOC - Conditions for commercial distribution of EDDY
- 10. FILE_ID.DIZ - Text description for posting on BBSs
-
- The EDDY files are packaged for distribution in two formats:
-
- Package format 1 contains all files in ready-to-use form. About 480
- KB disk space required, including documentation files.
-
- Package format 2 has the the User's Manual, "EDDY.DOC", stored as a
- compressed, self-extracting file, EDDY_DOC.EXE, created using the
- compression utility LHA, Copyright Haruyasu Yoshizaki. EDDY.DOC
- will occupy about 250 KB of disk space when decompressed.
-
- 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 EDDY.DOC file won't fit on a single 360K floppy
- that also contains the other EDDY files.
-
- b. To access the EDDY.DOC file, run EDDY_DOC.EXE from this
- separate diskette. This will decompress the User's Manual,
- requiring about 250 KB of additional disk space.
-
- Once EDDY is installed, the simplest way to get familiar with it is to
- just type "EDDY" and [Enter]. Menus and context-sensitive HELP are
- available as needed.
-
-
- Conditions of Use
- -----------------
-
- Near the beginning of the file "EDDY.DOC", you will find a complete
- disclaimer of responsibility for anything that EDDY may or may not do.
- Please read that information carefully.
