Purpose:
The pupose of these programs are to help DOS uses to manage
files and directories.  Also to help view text files (of any size),
and lastly to help search for files (wildcard, by size, date, or
by attribute) or for words in files.
These programs were written to use a mouse as previous file
manager programs that I had did not have mouse support
built in.

Installation:
These programs should be unzipped into a directory of your choosing.
They will hopefully run from that directory immediately.

Status of the program:
My software is Freeware.  Source code is included.  Use my code for
your own use or modify at will.  Use the programs freely, just don't
charge for it.

Distribution Status:
Freely distributable.

v.bas-----------source code for the viewer program
s.bas-----------source code for the search program
sy.bas----------source code for the parameters program
Readme.txt------this file

I am still working on these programs.  Next hope to figure out how to show the
long files names that Windows uses.  If you know how to do this, let me know!

released 9-30-1998

To use:
Make sure all these files above are in the same directory.  Suggest that
you place them in a PATH directory.  Under Windows (3.1 or 95-98), place
them in the Windows directory, otherwise, c:\ can be used (as long as
your PATH statement has c:\).
To start the directory program type "dr.exe" and hit ENTER.
To start any other program just type "f.exe" or "v.exe" or "s.exe" or
"sy.exe" and hit ENTER.
