The DiskJockey - Readme 8/9/96

Thank you for purchasing the DiskJockey.  This file contains any
documentation information and changes that did not get into the owners
guide prior to printing.

*******************************************

Size & Colors - Menu item (under Preferences)

Size was added to this menu item to allow a user to resize the DJ to
the window size that the developer intended (for a particular screen
size).  This is especially important for users that change screen size
often (usually laptop machines).  Plenty of ti me was spent to
determine the "optimal" (in our opinion) window sizes.  We wanted to
allow a resize, rather than a set size with a scroll bar, because it
offers more versatility, but it sometimes makes the DJ look ugly.  Use
the Size->default to return to our initial setting.  We noticed during
"Merlin" testing that the default size reset did not take complete
alignment effect until the next run of the DJ.


NOTE:  The DJ "remembers" the size and location of its main window
when last exited.  This can cause the DJ window to appear OFF THE
DESKTOP SCREEN when you reboot to a smaller screen resolution.  For
example, going from 800x600 to 640x480 could cause the DJ to not
"appear" to have started.  But, it is in the Window List.  Go to the
window list; select the DiskJockey; press the right mouse button and
select Cascade.  This will reposition the DiskJockey onto the screen.

*******************************************

Date Display - Added for our European customers.  Give you the
preference of displaying the date in mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy form.

*******************************************

Installation is easy.

Place the diskette into the A:  (or B:)  drive.  Click on the A:
Drive Icon to open the A:  drive folder.  Double-click on the
Install.exe Icon.  Select a drive and directory.  An HPFS partition is
recommended (if present).  Fill in the registration information.
(Name is required to complete installation).  Exit the install
program.  Close the A:  drive (this is important so that OS/2 will
close out the drive and not mess-up the EAs on the diskette).  Remove
the diskette (be sure to close the drive folder first).

The DJ does not require rebooting to run.  The above install may be
performed from a command prompt.

*******************************************

Remember to explore the DJ with the RMB (right mouse button) - several
of the buttons have RMB actions, such as:

RMB the Unmark button to reverse marking selected files; RMB the Edit
button to bring up the Edit/Viewer customization dialog; RMB the
Filter button (after setting a filter) toggles the filter from *.* RMB
the Format button toggles between A:  and B:
 
Double Click on the time-of-day and it will change to Analog; then 24
hour format; then back to the default am-pm.

*******************************************

The DJ's Editor default was changed to the Enhanced Editor (EPM.EXE).
This change from the System Editor was made because the System Editor
insisted on opening behind the DJ's window.

*******************************************

Retaining HPFS longnames is an option that is initially set to Off.
This choice was for performance reasons - especially when copying
to/from diskette.  All of the DJ's options (Preferences) when
selected, are retained for the next run of the DJ.
