Once you understand what Extend-A-File is, and you use it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. This is a LIMITED ACCESS VERSION. To see the MANY features of the FULL ACCESS VERSION run the EAFDEMO program included with the LIMITED ACCESS VERSION. In a nutshell, Extend-A-File is a memory resident (8k max if you have EMS) that allows you to: 1) Give your documents or files using 60 charcter descriptions instead of the intolerable 8 character DOS limitation. 2) Place them in organized, categorized LIBRARIES. 3) Automatically (and invisibly) save and retrieve your documents using the Extend-A-File interface (without learning any new keystrokes). But that's not where Extend-A-File ends. There are other programs that allow you to maintain long file descriptions for files, such as Norton adn the old AX program, but these do not compare to the power, flexibility and automatic background work that Extend-A-File provides. YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO USE IT... TO SEE HOW FANTASTIC THIS SOFTWARE REALLY IS! That's why we have created this LIMITED ACCESS VERSION (TEST DRIVE) of Extend-A-File. Doctors, Lawyers, Computer Programmers/Analyst, Secretaries, Sysops, ALL COMPUTER USERS...You name the profession, if you use a computer, you should be using Extend-A-File. Extend-A-File is what is knwon as a full featured DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. With features that will make life easier on the computer. (*) means FULL VERSION ONLY! 1) A fully licensed PKZIP/PKUNZIP interface that allows you to archive and compress related documents or files. *2) A Time & Billing function that will automatically keep track of your work, for which client, how much time was spent on all files, documents or source code programming, and calculate your invoice totals based on the rates you set (by the hour, by the keystroke, by document type etc.) *3) Not only does Extend-A-File allow you to enter a 60 charcter description of your files, but you have the ability to categorize each document with four (customizable) fields that automatically orgranize and keep track of your files. Programmer/Consultants could use the following: Field 1 : Client Name (Pentagon) Field 2 : Project (Accounting) Field 3 : Programmer (James T. Kirk) Field 4 : Document Type (C Source Code) Description: Accounts Payable Module A Law Office could use the following: Field 1 : Client (Client name) Field 2 : Matter (Matter Number) Field 3 : Lawyer (Lawyer Name) Field 4 : Document Type (Court Brief) EXTEND-A-NAME PLUS / EXTEND-A-FILE COMPARISON TABLE Here is a slight comparison of EXTEND-A-NAME PLUS and EXTEND-A-FILE. All of the enhanced and added features are not listed, but here are just a few. ╔════════════════════════════╤═══════════════╤══════════════════╗ ║ FEATURE │ EXTEND∙A∙NAME │ EXTEND∙A∙FILE(tm)║ ║ │ PLUS(tm) │ ║ ╟────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼──────────────────╢ ║ PKZIP/UNZIP INTERFACE │ │ √ ║ ╟────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼──────────────────╢ ║ AUTOMATIC TIME & BILLING │ │ ║ ║ Works in the background │ │ ║ ║ counting keystrokes and │ │ ║ ║ time on a project.

This allows you to edit the description of a ZIP file. Suppressing the File Utilities ------------------------------ You can now turn off selected File Utilities (e.g. Copy, Delete, etc.). This only applies for network subdirectories. All file utilities are available for use with files in local subdirectories. Run MAINCNF and select General Options. The options in question are located under "File Security on Network". You may override these options on a user by user basis though USERCNF's General Options. Faster Posting of Statistics ---------------------------- Previously, posting the time/keystroke/page accounting information required Extend-A-File to scan each and every subdirectory looking for ones that had new information. Now, Extend-A-File dynamically tracks the subdirectories that are worked in, resulting in a much faster posting process. If you are upgrading from an earlier release of Extend-A-File, you will need to post the old way one more time in order to initialize the tracking file. Once the tracking file (EAFILE.PST) is initialized, Extend-A-File begins keeping track of where you save WordPerfect documents. The next time you run EAFUTL.COM and select "Post Statistics" you will be asked to enter the register and cut-off dates as before and then see the you will see following prompt: Automatically post file statistics? If you answer Yes, Extend-A-File skips the path tree and immediately begins posting the accumulated information. If you answer No, you will get the path tree so you can do single or branch posting as before. Printing the Field Code Tables ------------------------------ Run EAFUTL.COM and choose "2. Print Reports & Tables". In the next menu, choose "2. Field Code Tables". Choose a report format or add a new one. To configure the layout for the Field Code listing, press [B] (Line Format). At the Line Format menu, enter the numbers and or letters of the items you want in the listing. The sequence of the listing is determined by the first item in the line. You must begin the line with a code or description. If you include charge information, it will be based on the preceding code/description record. For example, if field 1 is "Client" and field 2 is "Matter" then a line format of "1H2H" will result in: Client $/Hour Matter $/Hour ABC $35.00+ 001 $15.00+ DEF $45.00= 001 $ 0.00+ DEF $45.00= 002 $ 0.00= The above rates per hour are the adjustments to the base rate per hour. A plus sign (+) indicates that the number will be added to the base cost. An equal sign (=) indicates that the number will Override the base cost. The third line shows that Client DEF is charged $0/hour for Matter 002. MAINCNF and USERCNF - General Options ------------------------------------- The General Options have been reorganized into related groups. This provides a better way to view and change your configuration. The categories are: File Security Renaming Files Save and Resave Library Options Display Features Document Indexing Cost Recovery Path Options Misc Options Path Selection by Field Codes ----------------------------- If you organize your files by Client/Matter subdirectories, you need to run MAINCNF and set General Option "Do path selection by Field ID Codes?" (under Path Options) to YES. This will provide a stream-lined method of changing your path by prompting you for the ID Codes that determine a document's subdirectory. You will continue to have the option of using the regular path tree when necessary. For this option to work, you must a) have a Base Save Path and b) one or more Field codes configured with Subdir Levels set to Yes (use EAFUTL.COM, Change Configuration). You can customize the messages that appear on this screen by editing a textfile called "EAFPATH.MSG". Specific messages can be presented for each Field code during either direct entry or table lookup. See "EAFPATH.MSG" for specific instructions. Be careful to resave it as a TEXTFILE! If you will be using WordPerfect, set the margins to their widest settings before using [Ctrl]+[F5] to retrieve "EAFPATH.MSG". Save it back using [Ctrl]+[F5]. Fast Path --------- You now have an additional way to choose a subdirectory: Fast Path. This feature allows you to create and maintain a personalized list of your most frequently accessed subdirectories. In addition, Fast Path keeps a history of the last 1 to 9 subdirectories you accessed. You can access Fast Path by pressing [F6] from most screens (note the function key list at the bottom of the screen for verification). Fast Path has three possible display windows: Menu, Historical, and Both. The Fast Path Menu contains a permanent list of subdirectories that are a combination of those entered by the sysop (EAFUTL, Change Configuration, Set Global Fast Paths) and ones the user adds for themselves. The Historical display shows that last 1 to 9 subdirectories that have been accessed. You may flip between Menu and Historical by pressing the [Tab] key. The final display option is a mixture of both Historical and Menu subdirectories. To set the desired Fast Menu display, press [F6] while in Fast Path. You can customize the heading information of Fast Path screens by editing a textfile called "EAFPATH.MSG". See "EAFPATH.MSG" for specific instructions. Be careful to resave it as a TEXTFILE! Fast Path can be configured to pop-up upon entering WordPerfect. See the following paragraph. Pop-up to Path Selection upon entering WordPerfect -------------------------------------------------- You can now have EXTEND-A-FILE automatically pop-up to the Path selection window when you first enter WordPerfect. This option is controlled via the MAINCNF General Option "Do path selection upon starting application?" (under Path Options). You also have the option of going directly to Fast Path by setting the General Option "Go directly to Fast Path?" to YES.Version Control --------------- The command to access a file's backups has been changed from a function key ("F6=Bk?") to the command bar ("Bk?") in the File Window. "Bk?" is located between View and Find. Network Mirror Saving --------------------- EXTEND-A-FILE now supports mirror file saving. Mirror saving is when a file saved to a network drive is also automatically and transparently saved to your local hard drive. This provides the user with the knowledge that if the network goes down, work can continue using local copies of the files. To configure this feature, run MAINCNF.COM and select Network Mirror Saving. There are three options: Do Mirror Saving? YES/NO (Turn the feature ON or OFF). Base Mirror Path: C:\ZMS (Define the subdirectory off which mirrored files are saved. Delete mirrored files after? (Set the max age of mirrored files). Files are mirrored to the local drive under a subdirectory made up of the "Base Mirror Path"\"Drive"\"Network Path". For example, if a file is saved to "F:\WP\DOCS\FILE.DOC", it would be mirrored to "C:\ZMS\F\WP\DOCS\FILE.DOC". The suggested Base Mirror Path of "C:\ZMS" is meant to put it at the end of your path tree. A special utility called EAFMSP.COM (Extend-A-File Mirror Save Purge) needs to be run periodically (preferably just after logging on to the network). This utility has two functions: deleting old mirror files and restoring newer mirror files back to the network. Mirror files are deleted when they are older than the designated age. A mirror file is restored when its date last saved is more recent than its counterpart found on the network. New files created in a mirror subdirectory while the network is down will automatically be copied to the network the next time EAFMSP is run . EAFMSP requires you to specify which processing options you want done. Your choices are: /A=xx Resets the delete age from 7 to xx days old (between 1 and 999). /C Copy newer mirror files back to network subdirectory. /D Scan the mirror paths and Delete mirror files over age limit. /T Performs a test run without copying or deleting files. /WIPE Deletes all mirrored files regardless of age. You must use one or more of the above parameters. The recommended way to run this program is: EAFMSP /C /D More Field Codes ---------------- Extend-A-File offers four basic Field ID codes (i.e. Client, Matter, Lawyer, Doc Type). You may have up to three additional Field ID codes by running MAINCNF and setting General Option "Track time and keystrokes?" (under Cost Recovery) to NO. To configure Field ID codes, use EAFUTL and select "6. Change Configuration" and then "2. Field Parameters". If the additional three codes are available, the word "->More" will appear in the upper right corner. Use the right arrow key to scroll the configuration window over to the other three ID fields. These additional fields must be made Active (Yes) for them to be available. New Find File Window -------------------- The Find window for files has been changed to appear as follows: Extended Name: DOS Name: Date Last Saved: Owner Initials: Text in File: Field #1: etc... To move down a row press [TAB] or the down arrow. To select the Find Scan parameters (where to look), press [Enter]. You can specify as little or as much as you like. Multiple items can be entered on each line as long as you separate them with the desired operand of AND, OR, or NOT (or their single character equivalents, i.e. "&"=AND, "|"=OR, "%"=NOT). For example, to find all the files named with the words "Letter" or "Note" as well as "Personal" but not "to John", you would enter the following into the Find window: Extended Name: Letter or Note and Personal not to John - or- Extended Name: Letter | Note & Personal % to John. When you press [Enter] you will be prompted where to search for the files. That portion continues to work as explained in the manual.What was new in 4.01 ==================== Windows 3 and Carousel ---------------------- When using either Windows or Carousel you should load EXTEND-A- FILE (EAF) within each window or partition you need it. To support this capability you need to load the EAF Multi-Partition Controller (MPC) BEFORE starting Windows or Carousel. The command to start the MPC is: EAFILE /M The MPC takes 350 bytes of memory. It permits the loading of up to 20 simultaneous copies of EAF on your PC. It is important that before you close a window or partition that you unload EXTEND-A-FILE (EAFILE /U). Otherwise, the MPC will continue to track that a copy is loaded. The next time you boot, the MPC will reset the number of copies loaded to zero. Listing the Field Code Tables by Description -------------------------------------------- Previously, the tables were listed exclusively in Field Code order. When the table is on the screen you may now use the [F2] key to toggle between sorting by Code or Description. IMPORTANT NOTE TO 4.00 USERS: You must run the conversion program EAFIDX.COM to upgrade your table files to support the new sort feature. Get to a DOS prompt in the EXTEND-A-FILE subdirectory and type: EAFIDX [Enter]. There are four tables to be indexed. You must let it run to completion before you can run EAFILE version 4.02. Highlighted Field Entry ----------------------- The location and size of entry fields in EXTEND-A-FILE are now shown in reverse video. This option can be disabled via the MAINCNF General Option "Show current input area in reverse video?" found at the end of the list. Using an Environmental Variable other than "XNP=usercode" --------------------------------------------------------- If you are running EXTEND-A-FILE on a network, you are required to define the environmental variable "SET XNP=usercode" (where "usercode" is unique name, initials, or code each PC/user). This tells EAFILE which user profile to use when starting up. However, if you already have a user specific environmental variable defined as a result of another program's needs, you can now tell EAFILE to also recognize it, and therefore not need to have "XNP=usercode". You need to edit (using a text editor) the EAFILE general configuration file "XNPLUS.CNF" found in the EXTEND-A-FILE subdirectory. Near the end of this file you should find the following line (if not, just add it): XNP=XNP Change the second "XNP" to the name of the environmental variable you want EAFILE to recognize instead. For example, if already have something like "USER=%Login_Name", then change "XNP=XNP" to "XNP=USER". Subsequently, when EAFILE loads, it will look to "USER" to get the usercode. Renaming Multiple Files ----------------------- You can set the Field ID Codes, Allow-Archive option, and Read- Only setting of multiple files by using the Tag and Rename commands under File Utilities. Tag the files you want to affect and then select Rename. If you do not have the ability to alter the Read-Only flag (as set in the General Options), you will only be able to change the Field ID Codes or the Allow-Archive option. Renaming Prior Versions of a File --------------------------------- When you list a document's backup files (using [F6]), you now have a Rename option available. Only backup files created by EXTEND-A-FILE (extensions ".BKA" thru ".BKZ") can be renamed. Support for Lotus 2.2, 2.3 & 3.1 and Quattro 3 ---------------------------------------------- EXTEND-A-FILE now supports the WYSIWYG modes of these programs. See Appendix E in the manual for specific instructions. Reducing Memory Usage --------------------- You can now further reduce EXTEND-A-FILE's memory requirements by moving a portion of the "Additional Overhead" from memory to disk. The saving varies, depending on the number of Filenames and Libraries configured. At a DOS prompt, run the EAFILE configuration utility called MAINCNF. From the MAINCNF menu, select "Memory Allocation". The size of the "Additional Overhead" is based on the number of Filenames per subdirectory as configured. A portion of this overhead is dynamic and can be relocated to disk. Choose the "Overhead" option and your choices will be "Memory" or "Disk". The "Memory" option keeps all the overhead in memory. The "Disk" option saves memory, but will increase disk activity when popping-up EXTEND-A-FILE. Also note that the "Screen Buffer" can also be moved to disk for a tidy savings of 4,000 bytes. Use the "Screen" option within "Memory Allocation". If EXTEND-A-FILE is located on the network, you can redirect where the temporary files are created by having the following SET statement: SET EAFTEMP=C:\ If you place the above statement in a Novel login script, be sure to surround the C:\ (or other path) with double quotes (i.e. "C:\"). Tracking Pages Printed ---------------------- EXTEND-A-FILE can now track Pages Printed in addition to Time and Keystrokes. This feature is controlled via the MAINCNF "General Option" called "Keep track of Pages Printed?" (located at the end of the list). You must have "Keep track Time & Keystrokes?" (the prior option) set to YES in order for page tracking to operate. Tracking the number of Pages Printed is NOT automatic. In order to record the number pages printed, you must SAVE or RESAVE a document after you print. Within the EXTEND-A-FILE save window, below "Extended-Name:", you enter the number of pages you have just printed. The "Sub-total this session:" is the total number of pages printed since the document was loaded. You can adjust the page count downwards by entering negative numbers (e.g. "-1"). Path - Setting the Default to CHANGE or LOOK -------------------------------------------- Access MAINCNF and select "Drive Types" from the menu. After you choose a drive letter and then select Free or Network, you will be prompted to choose the default Select option. Finding Indexed Words --------------------- Appending an asterix (*) to the END of a word now has the same effect as a string of question marks (????...). This is useful if you want to search for all endings of a word. For example, entering "SAV*" would locate all occurrences of "SAVe", "SAVed", "SAVer", "SAVes", "SAVing", "SAVior", etc. Updating the Long Filename in WordPerfect 5.1 --------------------------------------------- When saving or resaving a document, EXTEND-A-FILE will automatically update the document summary area to include the Extended-name, Library, Owner, and Field ID codes. Therefore, if the document is copied or moved to another drive or subdirectory through DOS or any other utility (i.e. XTGOLD, PCTOOLS, NORTON, etc.), EXTEND-A-FILE will read the document summary to re-catalog the file in its new location. You must use the WP 5.1 program code (WP51) to activate this option. Use EAFWP51.BAT to load EXTEND-A-FILE with WordPerfect instead of EAFWP.BAT. Reading EXTEND-A-FILE Fields into a WordPerfect Document -------------------------------------------------------- Typing the following codes in WordPerfect will cause them to be replaced with the appropriate profile field of the current document. EAF:=X Extended-Name EAF:=L Library EAF:=O Owner Initials EAF:=P path\filename EAF:=F filename EAF:=1 Field Code 1 EAF:=2 Field Code 2 EAF:=3 Field Code 3 EAF:=4 Field Code 4 Other Misc Features not Found in the Manual =========================================== WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 ------------------- Macros If you have a macro that saves or retrieves a file, you need to add a {DISPLAY OFF} code in the macro in order to prevent EAFILE from popping-up while the macro executes. If you want EAFILE to pop-up after you do [ALT]+[F10], type a [?]. If you want EAFILE to pop-up after you do [CTRL]+[F10], type a [?]. Secondary Merge File If you want EAFILE to pop-up to select the secondary file, type a [?].ENABLE 2.15 thru 3.15 --------------------- ENABLE is now supported. The batch file to load EAFILE with ENABLE is called "EAFEN.BAT". You will need to edit this batch file in order to indicate the subdirectory where EAFILE needs to look for your files. See the batch file for instructions. SUBDIRECTORY DESCRIPTIONS ------------------------- If you use the "Dynamic Single Level Path Tree", you can attach a long description to each subdirectory name. To add descriptions, use the PATH command to access the tree, highlight a subdirectory and select the Xname command. After entering your descriptions, you can toggle between the descriptions and the mini-tree by pressing the [F4] key. COLOR CONTROL ------------- The color selection feature has been improved to give you more information about your options. Each color/shade has a number between 0 and 15. On the right side of the Color Window is a list of the foreground colors for the selected background color. First, use your up and down arrows to select the display category. Press [B] to cycle your background color. Press [H] to cycle your Hi intensity color. Press [L] to cycle your Lo intensity color.
