1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------

Softinabox Batch Registry is a simple utility, yet very
useful, that will allow you to register multiple files (DLL,
ActiveX control, type library or applications) in the Windows
Registry in a single batch operation. This feature is
specially useful for application programmers needing to
register dependent controls. Furthermore, Batch Registry
manages all the interface with the Windows Registry,
performing all the necessary error handling for you.

Softinabox Batch Registry includes the following main features:

- Register/Unregister Multiple Files

Batch Registry allows you to easily register or unregister any
file, control or application in the Windows Registry.

- Batch Operations

Multiple files can be add to batch registry files and
registered or unregistered in a single batch operation. Simply
select "Register All" and Batch Registry will
register/unregister each file, on at a time, by the order you
want.

- Windows Registry Integration

Batch Registry is full integrated with the Windows Registry to
allow you to: open the registry and register/unregister one or
more files. All without you having the need to type a single
command line. Just one click and Batch Registry will do the
rest.

- Error Handling

All the errors returned by the Windows Registry are correctly
handled by Batch Registry. When performing batch operations,
you can configure Batch Registry to stop after the first error,
stop after a specific number of errors or ignore all the errors
and try to perform all the tasks.

- Clipboard Integration and Drag & Drop Interface

Batch Registry (BREG) also integrates with the Windows
Clipboard and the Windows Explorer. You can copy and paste file
names to add files to BREG batch files. Or you can also drag &
drop entire folders and multiples file from Windows Explorer to
the BREG main window to add them to BREG batch files.

- File Formats

BREG will eventually register or unregister any file in the
Windows Registry, as long as the file "can be accepted by the
Windows Registry". 

- Fast Register and Unregister

Drag & drop files in the Batch Registry status bar to easily
register/unregister them.

- Shell Extensions

Softinabox Batch Registry is fully integrated with the Windows
Shell to allow you to open batch files, register, and
unregister files easily from the Windows Explorer context
menus.
