Description:
------------

Resplendent Associator for Windows 95/NT is a great tool for handling
associations between extensions and filetypes. With this program you can
decide yourself which applications to use for opening your documents.
Also it allows you to enhance the shell in various ways, for instance by
adding shell verbs that appear in a popup menu when you right-click on a file
using Explorer. It tracks all operations that are performed wit this program
and allows full undo and redo of these actions

Optionally it registers itself to open documents for which no
association yet exists so you will not get the annoying and confusing
Open with... dialog again in Windows when you try to open a document
that is not yet registered. Let the Extension Editor of Resplendent
Associatior do the work for you instead so that once and for all the
program of your choice will open your documents.

Windows internally keeps track of a list of file extensions and their
associated programs. Instead of associating these directly to an
executable file, they are linked to filetypes. A filetype contains
information about a program, its parameters and the menu options that
appear when you right-click on a file. By storing program information in
filetypes,  it is more easy to associate a set of extensions with one
single program without having to enter all settings for each file
extension individually.

With Resplendent Associator you can perform an association just by
picking up an extension and dropping it onto a filetype. After this,
each file with this very extension will be started by the program that
you chose.  Apart from performing simple file associations, it allows you
to edit each extension and filetype in the highest detail.


Installation:
-------------

Run the SETUP.EXE program and follow the instructions on screen. If you have
a previous version of Resplendent Associator installed it is recommended that
you uninstall this first. You can uninstall the program by opening the
Control Panel, Add Remove Programs and select Resplendent Associator.
