There are 3 sections: UTILITIES, BONUS PROGRAMS and FINANCIAL PROGRAMS. 
Individual .DOC files are provided for each program containing
more details. In addition, each program has built-in help screens. 
This is a complete and current list of all programs available 
from this author. The dollar amounts mentioned in each description
are the suggested registration fees, not the cost to you. 
The Bonus programs have no registration fee: BUS, SETCOL, etc
See ORDER.FRM for sampler disk prices. 
None of the programs on the sampler disk have the "counted-use"
registration incentive.

All programs are compatible with Windows, DR-DOS and Novell networks,
and require DOS 3.0 or higher.                           


===================== UTILITIES =====================



RDIR: DISK USE PIE CHART

DOS's "DIR" does not show the size of subdirectories. RDIR shows the Relative 
Size of Subdirectories in an ordered list, a Pie chart and a Bar chart. 
Pinpoints where disk space is being used. CGA, EGA, or VGA. Navigate around 
your disk by selecting & examining directories from the list on the graphics 
screen using arrow keys. Or enter drive/directory name from the command line. 
Latest revision allows deletion of empty directories and the use of directory 
names with extensions. RFILE can now be run from RDIR to examine the relative 
size of files in the selected directory. Reviewed in PCM Magazine June 1991 
and in the May 1992 issue of COMPUTE. Ver 1.43  $10.00


RFILE: RELATIVE FILE SIZE
Shows Relative FILE size of all files in the selected directory
in a pie chart. Enter a directory name or extension such as *.TXT
on the command line. Or edit the directory name as displayed on
the graphics screen. An aid to finding where the disk space is
being used up. Latest version adds PageUp & Down, Home & End while
viewing list of files. Requires CGA, EGA or VGA. Ver 1.17 $7.00


SINCE: LIST MODIFIED FILES

Typical screen after running "SINCE":

    SINCE 1.29  Copyright (c) 1991,92 by RPMcCormick.

SINCE provides a printable list of all files modified SINCE 
the date [and optional time] you enter on the command line.
Or _only_ those files with the selected attributes A H S R.
Type "SINCE" at the top level, followed by the date, and it will list
all the files worked on by you or others since that date.
Lets you know when to backup your hard disk drive.
Type "SINCE a" at the top level of your disk to see how many
files have been modified since the last backup. Reviewed in Jan 1993

STF: SHOW TWO FILES                                            

STF Shows and compares Two ASCII text Files side-by-side. 
Select filenames from a directory list. Use PageUp & Down, Home,
End & Arrow Keys to move around each file independently or together.
Differences are "Highlighted" by dimming unequal lines in one file.
Optionally ignores spaces in comparison. A single file may be viewed
full width. Searches for and highlights found text. Sliding Centerline
varies the relative viewing width of each file. Optional VGA graphics
mode. STF was chosen to be included in "DOS 6.0 Power Tools" by Bantam
Books. Latest version saves and restores numlock status. Ver 1.45 $10.00


WDN: WIPE DIRECTORY NAMES
You may have dozens of empty directories on your hard drive, taking up
valuable disk space. Typically an empty directory uses 2048 or 4096
bytes on a hard drive.
WDN will seek out and remove hidden and unused subdirectories with one
command. If DOS allowed RD *.*/s, you would not need WDN, but RD requires
that you type in every name. WDN saves you time. Ver 1.20  $5.00

ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS:
These programs were written by me to meet a need which was not met by either 
DOS commands nor by commercially available software. If Norton Utilities or 
XTREE could do the job, I would use their version before spending the time 
writing code. These programs are intended to improve productivity and save 
time. The first utility I wrote was RDIR. The DOS "DIR" command shows the size 
of Files, but only the name of the Sub-Directories. I wanted to know how big 
they were to help me decide what was taking up so much disk space.

Several programs have been revised recently in response to customer 
suggestions. Any program which previously changed the state of the NumLock 
switch on your keyboard now reads whether NumLock is on or off at the start 
and restores to the original state on exit. The programs can now deal with 
directory names which use extensions. The idea of calling RFILE from within 
RDIR also came from a customer. SETCOL no longer requires that the target 
program be registered in order for the colors to take effect. 


ABOUT SHAREWARE:
Shareware is a term to describe software that is distributed on a "Try Before 
You Buy" basis. It is not "Freeware" nor is it "Public Domain". The price 
listed on the order form covers only the cost of the time and materials 
involved in copying the programs. If you find the programs useful, you are 
expected to register them. If you don't, you are violating the Copyright laws. 
Registration provides the author with an incentive to write more useful 
programs to increase your productivity. Support is provided to registered 
users either online using The Internet or DELPHI networks or via U.S. Mail.
You are encouraged to make copies and give them to your friends, or upload 
the programs to bulletin boards. They must not have been modified, and all 
documentation must be included. The files which must be included are
listed in each program's help screen or in the README, if supplied.
For additional information about registration, see "REGINFO.TXT" 
at the DOS prompt.

UPGRADE POLICY: 
Any program for which you have registered an earlier version
will be supplied on the disk as a registered program. If you were 
registered for the now discontinued programs ATTR or SFT, your 
registration has been automatically transferred to SINCE and STF
respectively, as they incorporate the functions of the older programs.
To obtain the most recent version of a single program, use the "Single  
Title:" line on the Order Form.                 

PRICING: 
I have tried to make the pricing as flexible as possible. It would be simpler 
to charge a flat $20.00 for registration, and include a disk with the latest 
version of the software. But, when you register, typically for $10.00, I send 
a letter to let you know if it is really worthwhile to upgrade to the latest 
version. I also include a copy of the latest catalog. If you decide that you 
need the latest version of the program you registered, you can get it for 
$3.00 plus the $5.00 S&H. So even if you find you need the latest revision, it 
only adds up to $18.00.
