What is FILE CONTROL?
---------------------
File control deletes files and/or directories which the user does not want or
need. Files such as cache/temp and sub-directories are deleted. User can
choose to run File Control when wanted or it can be set up to automatically
delete on certain days and run only once per day or every boot-up.


Fixes/Updates
-------------

1.1
---
Updated Code    - Cleaned up code.
Updated Clock   - Fixed error when 12:00 in the morning. (Showed 0:00)
                - Added AM/PM.
Long File Names - Should now work unless the entire directory name is greater
		  than 50 characters. Should be fixed up in next version.
File Name       - Renamed SETUP.EXE to CONFIG.EXE.
More Choices	- When confirmation to delete is on, FILEC.EXE will ask if
		  user wants to go through certain entry or not
		- Choice to actually delete files or go through and just
		  see which files/directories would be deleted.


INSTALLATION
------------
Unzip the files into the directory of your choice, and then run CONFIG.EXE.

To have the deletion program run automatically in Win95/Win98 make a shortcut
pointing to FILEC.EXE so that it will load on startup. It will then actually
delete the appropriate files only on the days chosen.

To run it automatically using autoexec.bat put these three lines in it...

(Drive and directories used as examples)

C:\                             (DRIVE WHICH PROGRAM IS IN)
CD C:\PROGRA~1\FILEC            (DIRECTORY WHICH PROGRAM IS IN)
FILEC.EXE                       (PROGRAM NAME)


RUNNING
-------
Run FILEC.EXE to delete the files choosen in CONFIG.EXE.

When CONFIG.EXE is run it will load the program that adjusts the deletion
procedure to the users liking.

- In the bottom left corner you can choose whether when the program is run
  if it will perform the deletion of the chosen files/directories everyday or
  on certain days. Also the user can choose whether deletion occurs every
  time the program is loaded or just once per day.

- In the bottom right corner it will browse through the directories once the
  user chooses to input a directory name and enters a correct drive (entering
  C:\ into the correct entry box will display the directories in the C:\
  directory). Any other directories can be typed or selected from the browse
  box.

- If the confirm delete box is checked, all files must be confirmed by user
  before any action is taken (Recommended for first couple of times).

- If the "Delete For Real" is set to NO, program will not actually delete the
  files/directories. (Also recommended for first couple of times).

- Subdirectories can also be checked by selecting the appropriate box on the
  right side of the entries.

- When the directory and file entries are both green in color it means that
  the user correctly entered an existing directory and correct file name
  following the rules below.

- To run FILEC.EXE put it in your autoexec.bat including directory it is in :

	Example) C:\PROGRA~1\FILEC\FILEC.EXE
		 C:\FILEC\FILEC.EXE

- If long file names are not working properly in the browsing window put this
  in autoexec.bat :

	set LFN=n

- Running FILEC.EXE in dos/win31 may be slow if searching the entire disk
  drive. If so running in win9x should be much quicker.

- Try running with confirm delete set to YES the first couple of times
  to make sure everything that's deleted is wanted deleted.


FILE NAMES ACCEPTED

xxxxxxxx.*
*.xxx
xxxxxxxx.xxx

will not accept any files including these characters :
	 + = [ ] : ; " < > , ? / | \

basically will follow most DOS rules (? character is not implemented yet)


EXAMPLES

FILE    DIRECTORY   
----	---------
*.*     c:\temp     subdir = Yes     ==> erase all files in c:\temp and
                                         subdirectories
*.*     c:\temp     subdir = No      ==> erase all files in c:\temp
        c:\temp     subdir = Yes     ==> erase all files/subdirectories in
                                         c:\temp
        c:\temp     subdir = No      ==> erase all files/subdirectories in
                                         c:\temp and also erase the folder
					 c:\temp
*.tmp   c:\temp     subdir = Yes     ==> erases all files with file extension
                                         tmp in c:\temp and subdirectories
*.tmp   c:\temp     subdir = No      ==> erase all files with file extension
 					 tmp only in c:\temp
