WINEXPAND 1.0 INFO FILES





1.- What's WinExpand?

	WinExpand is a Windows interface for the Microsoft's
DOS Expand compressor.


2.- What does WinExpand do?

	WinExpand lets you work with Expand, a DOS program, trough
a Windows interface. This means, for example, that you can be
working with any other Windows program while WinExpand is expanding
some files for you in the background.


3.- Why WinExpand?

	Although it can seem out of date, I think that WinExpand
can still be useful for lots of people, those who have not updated
their computers to Windows 95 or, if so, will still keep working
with some Windows 3.1 and 3.11 programs.

	Sometimes, simply somes files of your programs are missing.
You may wonder why, but soon or late you will have to restore them
from your CDs or floppies. If you know that feeling, you will also
know how annoying it is !!

	You must run a DOS session, start up Expand, and remember
its syntax to expand the files, whose names and paths you must know
before and keep in your mind. 

	With WinExpand this will no longer happen.


4.- WinExpand Capabiblities.

-WinExpand can browse any drive unit and directory, even if they
 belong to a network, and let you choose any files they contain.

-WinExpand will write the full path of any choosen file, so that
 you don't have to type them down anymore. Just some clicks of your
 mouse will be necessary.

-WinExpand will bring you the opportunity of mixing files from
 different directories and drives and expand them all at a time.
 
-WinExpand will let you run Expand without using any DOS command
 to navigate through your directory tree nor doing any memory effort.

-WinExpand lets you work in really intersting things while files
 are expanding.


5.- How does Winexpand work?

	WinExpand is just an interface to a DOS program. More or less
it works this way:

	-You select tha target directory (Due to Expand limitations
	 only one target directory can be used at a time).

	-Then you select all the files you want to expand.

	-You press a button and all files are expanded.

	Well, it's not really this way. WinExpand is a very simple
program (you will see it soon) and some of its features are not as
polite as I would. But I'm satisfied with its behaviour and I hope
that you will be too !!


6.- One more thing... What about money?

	As I think you hope, WinExpand is FREEWARE. Yes, you readed it
well. Actually, it takes me only one working day, and I though I ought
to be logic.

	However, I will only hope one simple action from you: an E-Mail
to my address (see bottom) with your opinions, suggestions, complains
or whatever you want to send me.

	It will take you only two minutes, and I will be pleased.
