                                 LIST of FILES

                                 TXTREAD2.EXE
                                  README.TXT

    The program is DOS based but will work via Windows, and is entirely
    mouse controlled. Every time you install more software on your hard
    disk, it is likely another .TXT instruction file will be added. Many of
    the .TXT files contain useful information, but you may not be even
    aware of their existence, or know where they are all located.

    This little program lists, and displays all the .TXT files on any
    drive you select, in directory or alphabetical order. You can then
    select up to 50 to read, by left clicking on the relevant line. One
    problem in identifying Directories and Files created by Windows, is due
    to its ability to handle long Directory or File names, which are not
    recognised while working under DOS. Each time you select a file to
    read, the selection number is shown, and then the long Directory name
    over printed by the short names to enable DOS to locate the file. Once
    all your selections have been made, you right click anywhere to
    commence reading the files. If you right click without selecting any
    files, the program restarts, with the option of selecting another Drive
    with a left click, or aborting the program by a right click.

    Due to the variety of long filenames in use it is possible there will
    be an odd file the program cannot locate, but at least you will see its
    location. This version is better at locating the great majority of
    files, compared with the earlier version TXTREAD.

    As you read a file a page at a time, you have the options of aborting
    the file, or all files selected, or printing the page displayed or all
    of the File. The program needs to create a temporary file of the
    results of its search for .TXT files, named ZZZZ.$$$ which it deletes
    as soon as the data is stored in RAM. You will therefore get a write
    error if attempting to search a floppy disk, that has been write
    protected.

                   Comments and suggestions always welcome.
