- This file provides information for disk vendors on the disribution of
- XDIR.
-
- Shareware distributors and Users Groups may charge a nominal
- fee, not to exceed $6.00, for copying and distributing this
- program. Documentation must clearly explain the shareware
- concept, the need for users to register products they use, and
- the fact that the price of your disks is a copying fee only and
- does not constitute payment for XDIR. The material must also diff-
- erentiate between shareware and public domain software.
-
- Any distribution of XDIR must include without alteration
- only the files contained on this disk.
-
- We encourage you to consider becoming an Approved Vendor of the
- Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). The ASP vendor program
- reduces the workload for both authors and vendors, and helps give
- customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in the
- distribution of shareware products.
-
- For more information on the ASP vendor program, contact the ASP at:

- I. Short Description
-
- Attach descriptive comments up to 65 characters to your
- letters, spreadsheets, etc. and see them in the DIR display. These
- comments stay with the files when you copy, move or rename them.
-
-
- II. Medium Length Description
-
- XDIR replaces the DOS DIR command. With XDIR you can attach a
- descriptive comment of up to 65 characters to each file. The
- comment will appear in the directory display. Unlike other
- programs, XDIR makes sure that comments will stay with your files
- when you COPY, RENAME or MOVE them. Select spreadsheet,
- wordprocessing, database, etc., documents from the XDIR list to
- RUN. XDIR knows the right application to call. Many additional
- features.
-
- Bonus utilities for XDIR are sent to registered users.
-
-
- III. Long Description
-
- XDIR is a commented directory utility that replaces the DOS
- DIR command. With XDIR you can attach a descriptive comment of up
- to 65 characters to each file. The comment will appear in the
- directory display. Unlike other programs, XDIR makes sure that
- comments will stay with your files when you COPY, RENAME or MOVE
- them. Version 3.0 can RUN programs from the directory list and
- supports executable extensions. The run feature (e.g., XDIR /r
- *.exe) permits the user to select one or more entries from the
- directory list, and run them. The program prompts for program
- parameters. Also, XDIR will run other programs on files selected
- from the directory list. For example, XDIR /rlist *.doc would list
- all of the .doc files, allow the user to select from them, and then
- list each of the selected files. Finally, XDIR supports executable
- extensions. With proper setup, it will recognize the appropriate
- application to call for a given file extension.
-
- A group of additional utilities is supplied to registered
- users. These include XDZIP and XDUNZIP, which automate inclusion of
- XDIR comments in PkWare ZIP files and restores them on unzipping.
- XDCount and XDUpdate keep track of the number of times your files
- have been accessed, as well as the date of last use. This inform-
- ation is presented on the directory display.
