File List:

Version 1.0 includes:

   README.TXT     - this file
   ADDAPP.EXE     - executable program
   PROGHELP.DLL   - Program Manager Helper routines (from Win32 SDK)

This program was inspired by the amount of work required to add the WIN32
Sample applications to the Program Manager. This program will allow the
user to add applications, icons, bitmaps or any other file types (with or
without associations) to a group in the Program Manager in a very fast and
efficient way. It is also designed as a replacement to the Windows Setup 
command 'Set up Applications'.

Instructions:

Once ADDAPP has been executed, either edit the search path in the
'Directory' edit control or select drives to search in the 'Drives'
list. Change the 'File Mask' to search for files other than *.EXE.
Press the search button (or the <Enter> key) to begin searching for the 
files. 

When the search completes, select a Program Manager group or enter the
name of a new group in the 'Program Manager Groups' drop-down comobox.
This is the group where the selected applications will be placed.

Choose the files you would like added in the 'Applicaitons Found' 
multi-select listbox. Double-clicking will select/deselect all the files
found.

Press 'Add Files' to begin adding the files to the Program Manager'.

Release Notes:

- great for searching CD-ROMs. The Setup Applications command doesn't
  even allow searching on CD-ROMs!

- to create a group containing icon files, search for *.ICO and add them.
  If you have previously set an association for .ICO files in the File
  Manager, the icon files will not display the actual icons when they
  are inserted. If there is no association, the icons *will* display the
  actual icon. This is a strange behaviour of the Program Manager.
  Delete the association for ICO files in the File Manager to see the
  actual icons.

- the program has been tested under Windows 3.1 using WIN32s

- limit of 2000 files found, 256 Program Manager Groups

- 'View icon' is not implemented

Next Release:

- multipul file type spec. (ie *.exe;*.pif;*.bat )
