- ORG (c) - The only Disk Organizer Utility to truly deserve the name
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This package contains the shareware copy of ORG version 2.50, a
- super-fast Disk Organizer Utility with many additional features
- including "on-the-fly" file sort and delete functions.
-
- ORG does not require any special installation procedure to run.
- Simply copy the files ORG.EXE and ORG.CFG to a directory on your
- hard disk and, at the DOS prompt type:
-
- ORG [d:] [/SIM] <Enter>
-
- where d: is any valid drive letter on your computer, except a RAM
- or Network drive. The /SIM option simulates the ORGanization
- process WITHOUT actually writing to the disk.
-
- Every effort has been made to ensure that the program will work
- as described with all MS-DOS machines and that it is free of errors.
- First time users are encouraged to use ORG's /SIMulation option to
- assure compatibility with other software (disk cache or other
- similar resident programs). Refer to chapter 2 (Getting Started)
- in the documentation for detailed instructions on how to use ORG.
-
- ORG is copyrighted software. You may however make as many copies as
- you like of this shareware version and distribute them to others,
- provided that you do not alter the contents of the package in any
- way. If you like ORG and use it regularly, you must register your
- copy. Instructions for registering ORG are contained in the file
- ORGREG.TXT which is included with this package.
-
- When you register, you will receive the latest release of ORG. Also,
- you will receive upgrades and enhancements free, for a period of one
- year from registration.
-
- The following files should be in this package:
-
- ORG.EXE The ORG program
- ORG.CFG A sample configuration file
- ORG25.DOC Documentaion file for ORG
- ORGREG.TXT ORG registration form
- README.1ST This file
- README.BIX Special offer for BIX users
- BRAND.EXE Branding utility: removes shareware messages
- and personalizes your copy.
- BRAND.DOC BRAND Documentation
-
- ORG Notes:
- ORG25.DOC and BRAND.DOC are a ASCII files formatted to be printed out
- on any "dumb" printer. The only control characters they contain are
- page breaks, making it easy to display on the screen with virtually
- any editor or word processor.
-
- The current version of ORG supports EMS LIM 4 Expanded memory
- and Microsoft XMS Extended memory. To use Extended memory with ORG,
- you must use an XMS driver such as HIMEM.SYS (supplied with Windows
- 3.0 and other Microsoft products), 386MAX, QEMM, or similar memory
- management software.
-
- At the request of numerous users, I have added the /SIM option which
- prevents ORG from actually writing to the drive. This mode can be
- very useful to check for conflicts when running ORG on an unknown
- system.
-
- ORG will now detect when it is run from a Windows or DesqView "DOS
- box" and refuse to run.
-
- ORG 2.50 includes the /T option, a new unique feature:
- /T causes ORG to sort all files on the drive in ascending order by
- date/time stamp. This effectively places the newest files LAST on
- the drive. Most of our daily work only involves a small number of
- files which we use over and over again. Thus, placing these files
- at the end of the unfragmented area of the drive not only makes
- subsequent defragmentation faster, it acts proactively to prevent
- fragmentation! To minimize ORGanization time, the /T option will
- not move a file that is already contiguous, even if its date and
- time have changed. To obtain the best results with the /T option,
- first re-order all your files on the drive specifying BOTH the /T
- and the /F option. Subsequent runs with the /T option alone will
- only defrag any files that have become unfragmented.
