--------------------------------------------
1 - Warning	
--------------------------------------------
This program is made to delete files.  If you use it,
then you acknowledge that the author has NO
responsibility for damage done to your disk drive
(and any repercussions from that damage) either 
through misuse or malfunction of the program.

--------------------------------------------
2 - Purpose of the Program
--------------------------------------------
The Borland C++ (Windows, OS/2) and MicroSoft
Visual C++ compilers create a large number of
temporary files when they compile projects.
Most of these files do not need to be stored in
backups or revision control and are not needed
in the final product.  Furthermore since many
people compile their programs from the 
Integrated Development Environments offered
by these products the temporary files are 
usually left to the user to delete.

Since both of the above compilers generate
approximately 14 different file extensions, 
manually deleting them can be quite a pain.
This program makes it quick, visible and 
easy!

--------------------------------------------
3 - Use of the Program
--------------------------------------------
The main window of this program has a group
of checkboxes.  Each checkbox represents an
extension.  To delete files, specify a directory
in the combo box at the bottom of the main
window (the combo box can also be filled from
a Browsing dialog) and press the Delete key.
The program will check the specified directory
for files which end in the extension of any
combo box which is checked.
A dialog comes up with a list of files that will
be deleted.  By pressing OK, you may delete
those files.

A log file (DELETER.LOG) is created in the
executables directory if the LOGFILE- Use Logfile
menu item is checked.  You may also delete
this log file using LOGFILE- Purge Logfile.

--------------------------------------------
5 - The DELETER.INI file
--------------------------------------------
Please keep this file in the same directory as
your executable.  It contains important information
which allows your deleter dialog to pop-up in 
the same place and containing the same information
as when you last left it.

--------------------------------------------
6 - The .DLT files
--------------------------------------------
Every .DLT file contains a list of extensions and
information which specifies whether or not they
are currently checked.

Deleter comes with three .DLT files
BORLAND.DLT	Extensions created by Borland C++
VISUALC.DLT	Extensions created by MicroSoft C++
DEFAULT.DLT	Extensions usually associated with
		temporary files.

FILE-EDIT EXTENSIONS allows you can edit these
the current group of extensions.

FILE-SAVE EXTENSIONS allows you to save your
changes under a new .DLT file.

FILE-LOAD EXTENSIONS allows you to switch to
a new .DLT file

Every time you quit Deleter, it will ask you if you
want to save the currently loaded .DLT file if you
have changed any extensions, checked or unchecked
any Checkboxes.
