- RemoveR Shareware- $5 / ú3
- **********************************************************************
-
- Imagine ...
-
- You've just got that Cd from the cover of a magazine, and you're trying
- all the demos out ... in the background files are getting added to your
- windows or windows/system directory ... they're growing ... the files
- aren't removed ... you run out of disk space ... you have to sell your
- house for a new hard drive ... homeless - all for the sake of $5/ú3 :-)
-
- Ok. Imagine this ...
-
- You run RemoveR. It makes a record of your entire Windows directory and
- all its subdirectorys (cunningly ignoring the temp directory & all
- hidden folders - such as 'Recent' in Win95).
-
- You run all your demo software ... files are added.
-
- You run RemoveR again. It tells you all the files that have been added
- or deleted since you last updated its records, and it allows you to
- delete any of the new files you don't want. Cool.
-
- Get the idea?
-
- Fair enough, programs should uninstall these days ... but there are
- soooooo many that don't - so think of RemoveR as your insurance !
-
- Its easy to use, try it and see.
-
- To scan click 'Update Scan Database'
- To check for differences from last saved sacn, click 'Find Changes'
-
- After displaying changes and deleting files, you may like to update
- the database (click 'Update Scan Database') to add any changes you wish
- to make permanent, and not be alerted to any more.
-
- Windows95/NT users, run RmvR32.exe
-
- (If you have both the 16 Bit and 32 Bit versions of RemoveR then stick
- to one version, they each store their database in a different
- format - using one to make it and one to read it is asking for trouble)
-

- RemoveR is Shareware. If you like it, please send $5/ú3 to help a young
- programmer out :-) ... if $5/ú3 is a lot of money to you, send
- something else.

-
- Technical :
-
- Its written in VB4/Win95. I know its not superfast, but you try writing
- a recursive directory search routine any faster ... if you can
- send it to me :-)

-
- Changes since v1.1
-
- * Included the runtime files. My mailbox was exploding with people
- wanting these !! This makes the distributable larger, so sorry to
- all those who had these files... this is for the benefit of those
- who haven't.
-
- * Now shipped as a separate 16 Bit and 32 Bit application. The 32-Bit
- version is Long Filename Aware, the 16 Bit version isn't.
-
- * Changed my email address & web address.
-
-
- Changes since v1.0
-
- * Added the ability to save the search result, to enable uninstalling
- at a future date. To do this just click 'Save Search' when you have
- performed a scan. This data is saved into a file, and the program
- can be uninstalled at a later date. To uninstall a saved file, just
- click the button on the main screen.
