DEEPLOOK : a full-featured database management system to catalog the
           files on floppy diskettes or the hard drive with the added
           feature that it will automatically catalog the CONTENTS of
           ZIP/LZH/ARC and other types of compressed files.

     DEEPLOOK solves the problem of finding that computer file or program
you know you have but it's buried inside a COMPRESSED file archived onto a
floppy disk to save room on your hard drive.  Compressed files usually have
a file name extension of .ZIP, .LZH, .ARC and sometimes even .EXE.

     DEEPLOOK can automatically read the contents of your compressed
files (including the self-extracting EXE files), and store the list of files
in an amazingly fast database so that you can later search it or generate
reports to your printer or to disk files. DEEPLOOK even has an "Auto Pilot"
feature that will automatically read each file on your floppy disk or hard
drive subdirectory. If it is a compressed file it can extract the names of
the files therein and add them to the database. If it is not a compressed
file, it will add the file name to the database but without the compressed
file storage information. You can use the Auto Pilot feature or you can use
the directory list that DEEPLOOK puts on the screen and individually select
which files go into the database.

      Toggle LOOKDEEP on/off to control reading the contents of compressed
files.

     There are three main programs that are used to run the DEEPLOOK
database system.  (Be sure to see the list of accompanying files later in
this documentation.)

         DEEPLOOK.EXE : this is the directory reader which creates
                        the database and adds the file names, etc. to the
                        database. You've got to run this program first in
                        order to create the DEEPLOOK database and put
                        something in it. DEEPREPT and DEEPEDIT won't
                        function properly unless there is some "data" in the
                        database.

                        Usage: DEEPLOOK d

                              -where d is the letter of the floppy disk
                               drive you wish to index. Run DEEPLOOK without
                               d to index the current hard drive
                               subdirectory.



         DEEPREPT.EXE : a full-featured report generator for use with the
                        DEEPLOOK database.  You can create reports with
                        any field, sorted by any field(s), filtered for
                        value(s) in any field.  You can print the report
                        to the screen, to the printer or to disk files, as
                        ASCII text files or comma-delimited files which
                        can later be imported into Lotus, Reflex, dBase,
                        Paradox, etc., etc.

         DEEPEDIT.EXE : this allows you to quickly search the DEEPLOOK
                        database, and edit any field for any database
                        entry.  Actually, you really should edit only the
                        comment field, but the other fields are there to be
                        seen and edited if you wish.  You can also
                        bulk-delete files, such as deleting references to
                        all the "READ.ME" files when it's not really
                        necessary to have them in your database.
