It contains a normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the originators of VENDINFO: Rams' Island Software Voice: 303-841-2848 CompuServe: 76244,324 7644 E.

If so, read 4F-UPDAT.TXT. If you have difficulties be sure to check the section on compatibility below, and also press to check your configuration. If that doesn't help, call, fax or e-mail me for Tech Support. If you will be using 4FILES under OS/2 or MS-Windows, CTRL-ESC & ALT-ESC have their OS/2 or Windows rather than 4FILES functions; use plain ESC or SHIFT-ESC to quit 4FILES. The mouse will behave like a Windows mouse when 4FILES is in a window and like a 4FILES mouse when 4FILES is displayed full screen. Your mouse driver should be loaded before loading Windows. ALT-ENTER and ALT-HOME are used in Windows and OS/2 respectively to toggle between running 4FILES in a window of full screen. 2) TO NEW USERS OF 4FILES: =========================== Thanks for taking the time to give 4FILES a try! 4F.DOC has both general and detailed installation instructions; look for "Quick Start," "MS-Windows," and "OS/2" in the table of contents. The file 4F-INSTL.TXT gives more detailed installation instructions. One of the first things you should do is use to call up the configuration menu. This is where you setup 4FILES so it can find your utilities and set colors and options. If a utility is in your PATH you need give only its filename AND extension (required), but a full pathspec results in better performance. 4FILES comes with the key setup to view files by calling 4F-TV.COM (supplied with 4FILES). You may wish to reconfigure 4FILES to other browse utilities such as Vern Buerg's LIST or the 4DOS LIST command (configure this as LIST.ALS). 4DOS LIST requires shelling to DOS, which is slow; Buerg's LIST is a better choice. The Help file will not be shown unless the browser "port" is correctly configured. Also, use to set the keyboard type you use if you have a laptop computer or an old PC keyboard. Directory navigation is one of 4FILES' strong suits, and to make the most of it, you should read the Navigation section in 4F.DOC. Play around a lot with the navigation keys. Other important keys are to toggle between file management and file description modes, to toggle display of file attributes or file time, and for EGA/VGA Ctrl- to change the number of rows displayed. , where Char is any alphanumeric key, searches for files and subdirectories starting with the character. There are many other features and a great file note editor, all well integrated into the keyboard to put a lot of power at your finger-tips in an easy to learn and remember arrangement. Please lavish a little time on the manual (4F.DOC) and at least look at "Quick Start" therein for now. I have worked hard to incorporate a lot of features into 4FILES and to write a thorough manual. It would be a shame for you to miss the full benefits of that labor by trying to get-by by running the program by the seat of your pants (although it's easy enough that you can get pretty far that way). 3) COMPATIBILITY: ================= 4FILES is compatible with MSDOS 3.x and higher, DRDOS 5.x and higher, all versions of 4DOS and NDOS, OS/2, Windows & Desqview. COMPATIBILITY ISSUES: -------------------- A) PC-Magazine's LOG.COM is poorly behaved, and whenever a utility is called from 4FILES, LOG.COM causes an "incorrect configuration" message to be displayed, even though execution was good. Use the 4DOS LOG facility or another shareware LOG program instead. B) With NEWKEY.EXE, you should run NEWKEYSP.EXE and free-up for use by other programs via one of the menus. Otherwise, this key will be non-functional in 4FILES. C) A number of freeware key-swap utilities (e.g. SWITCH5.COM) ignore or do not properly update keyboard BIOS data. If you have keyboard trouble, try unloading such programs, and if necessary look for a better replacement. ===== Packing List ===================================== As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ: Filename Size Date Time CRC32 4F-XRAY.BAT 2377 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 7F427838 4F.COM 60496 12-Oct-1994 03:19a FD9E98E6 4F-TV.COM 1008 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 6CA6C8EC FILE_ID.DIZ 354 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 1F0457B5 4F.DOC 97849 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 0DF6E4AB 4F-TV.DOC 2798 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 16F7139A 4F.HLP 19263 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 6AE53D86 4F-I-OS2.ICO 888 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 05B42872 4F-I-WIN.ICO 766 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 639F87A0 4F-READ.ME 4276 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 08EB0759 4F.PIF 545 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 402E3959 4F-INSTL.TXT 4895 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 5DE45010 4F-REG.TXT 2578 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 49EDDBDF 4F-SITE.TXT 958 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 23D5350D 4F-UPDAT.TXT 12797 12-Oct-1994 03:19a 45BC4E69 ===== Installation ===================================== 1) Copy all files to a subdirectory that is in your PATH. 2) Be sure you have a TEMP subdirectory defined, such as by a "SET TEMP=C:\" line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. 3) Run 4FILES by typing 4F. 4) Type to configure 4FILES. You may define utility or application programs that are called by certain 4FILES keys. If you use a laptop computer or have an old-style PC keyboard, be sure to select your keyboard type from menu item "2. Options." There are many other configuration items that add great flexibility to the program, change colors, or brand the program as registered. 5) 4FILES provides fast directory navigation as-is, but its capabilities are greatly enhanced when teamed-up with change-directory utilities such as LCD, ACD or Norton's NCD. Configure 4FILES to use one of these utilities, if available. 6) Read "Quick-Start" in 4F.DOC or the printed manual for additional details. 7) For more detailed or basic instructions, see 4F-INSTL.TXT. -= 30 =- A site license is required if installation or distribution of 4FILES within your company, institution, organization, government agency, etc. can result in more than one simultaneous use of 4FILES. To apply for a Site License, please submit a registration form (see the file 4F_REG.TXT) along with the appropriate fee, with discounts on the single copy price of $30 as shown: Total # of Terminals Discount --------- -------- 2 - 4 15% 5 - 9 25% 10 - 24 33% 25 - 49 47% 50 - 99 53% 100 - 249 64% 250 - 499 72% 500+ 76% 501+ 60% ===== Warranty ========================================= Any use of 4FILES constitutes your agreement that it is provided "as-is" with no express or implied warranty (other than free technical support), that you assume full responsibility for assuring that it performs acceptably on your system, and that in no event shall Hand-Crafted Software, Larry Edwards, or their successors be held liable damages arising from use of the program. ===== License for Use and Distribution ================= AGREEMENT FOR USE AND DISTRIBUTION ================================== 4FILES and its documentation are copyrighted intellectual property which are distributed as shareware, and may be used or distributed only in compliance with the following terms and conditions. 4FILES is neither free nor in the public domain. All rights are reserved worldwide by the author. Any use of 4FILES constitutes your agreement to all provisions herein. USE & REGISTRATION FOR A SINGLE COMPUTER ======================================== Use of 4FILES is free during your evaluation period. This period ends when you begin to use 4FILES for any useful work which is not incidental to exploring its capabilities, and may not exceed 30-days beyond your acquisition date. When you use 4FILES for the primary purpose of accomplishing useful work (as contrasted to a genuine evaluation) you are obligated to do your "share" of the shareware arrangement by registering your copy promptly. MULTIPLE USE & SITE LICENSING ============================= A site license is required if 4FILES can potentially be used simultaneously on more than one computer, terminal or workstation in a business, institution, organization, government agency, home, etc. To apply for a license, please fill out the registration form in 4F_REG.TXT. A sample site license and rates are contained in the file 4F-SITE.TXT DISTRIBUTION OF 4FILES ====================== Distribution by any means is encouraged, provided: 1) ... that the distribution includes all original files (see Packing List, below) in their unaltered forms and with unaltered filenames, and does not include the .CFG file. If the package is incomplete its distribution is prohibited; please contact me for a complete package. A BBS may add a tag file listing it as the source, and disk vendors may add introductory or installation batch files. 2) ... that, unless a higher figure has been approved in writing, the distribution fee does not exceed $8 if 4FILES is distributed alone or $12 if it is packed on-disk with other programs. Commercial vendors who are not members of ASP must have written permission to distribute. Please inquire as necessary. 3) ... that in any vendor catalog or other publication, it is clearly stated that this is shareware and that $30 must be paid to Hand-Crafted Software if the program is useful (in addition to the distributors fee, if any). 4) ... that 4FILES may not be included or bundled with other goods or services without express written permission of the author. Inquiries are welcome, and a non-shareware version can be produced for such purposes. ===== Compressed Data Record Follows =================== PK MM`v H& VENDDATA.vJ :N  (F &'F7*.  4>~ n > ~ > ~  N ^ >~ n / ,'  ^7s2r3Ax}g0%QwWZ}Bp)b-ggtY0x~g[m>mq~nrwɠ 7}?yJ#ַo=֭o|]b%su;4E+t!MPc{S.ݴ?w$xUx8|ӣwcg ? ~tt-A})F_Gc",+/ϵ<1/@%2HۚcnrP\R_gɕwm4{[OŃNI Z%+%J833夎+Pgs_4oǒ(ƕ_k-lg!|;7i~2mٯlWnm=zNyg39Q[Ow\ΊƑ{~jT>i_d}~k`P+ʹ!\ !|kx٠ <"ƌ!b!Ă؄AƆ0_02hƊacR/M,\_sa?_rߕ\.P) ѐgb?W1hLc\>Mk[^۶* {(1CJզƹ)996|߇mӢēd\&G>[Uvק|\im enʥmsQw)c(aqS Ӷȣ2 I>"eQoK|A R,_"5OZIYmaGG*[XV5 k8BhtZ*.-Hg.xveqo?m KlEox"(s@_gc
