- ABOUT DELTA 2.3 -
----------------------------------------
Delta allows you to save information about your disk and then compare the
differences that may have occured over time. A typical application would
involve Windows installation software, where you would save your disk's
information before and after the installation, and then compare and check for
differences. Delta also allows you to save information contained in text and
Windows initialization files and then check for differences. Typical files
would include: AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, etc. Other uses
would include simply monitoring changes to your drive over time. This is
especially useful in a work environment where multiple people may use the
same system. This will allow you to unclutter that bogus stuff people leave
on your disk and reset your configurations.
----------------------------------------
- INSTALLATION -
----------------------------------------
1. Copy BWCC.DLL to your Windows system directory if you do not
already have a copy or it is out of date
(ie: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BWCC.DLL)
2. Copy COMMDLG.DLL to your Windows system directory if you do
not already have a copy or it is out of date
(ie: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMMDLG.DLL)
3. Create a DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA)
4. Copy DELTA.INI to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.INI)
5. Copy DELTA.EXE to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.EXE)
6. Copy DELTA.HLP to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.HLP)
7. Copy LZMAV.DLL to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\LZMAV.DLL)
NOTE: DELTA.EXE and DELTA.HLP can be located anywhere on
your drive. The only requirement is to have both of
these files in the same directory.
NOTE: You may elect to copy LZMAV.DLL to your Windows' System directory.
(ie.: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LZMAV.DLL)
NOTE: I recommend invoking DELTA.EXE and clicking on Help
to view the section syntax for DELTA.INI before you
actually use Delta.
