──────────────────────────Installation Steps──────────────────────────
The program named, "EZINIT" is provided to assist you with the initial
setup of your system for the EzWare programs and files.  Below are    
the main installation steps that are explained in more detail by      
the program EZINIT.EXE                                                
                                                                      
 ■ Directory Structure                                                
   Subdirectories are useful in keeping programs and associated data  
   files separate.                                                    
 ■ Setting the Path                                                   
   If a path command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file includes the EzWare     
   directory, EzWare programs can be started outside this working     
   directory.  If you are not comfortable with making changes to      
   your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make sure that you move to the EzWare      
   working directory before starting an EzWare program.               
 ■ After placing all of the EzWare files into your desired working    
   directory, Enter:> EZWARE to begin learning how to take advantage  
   of the many features and programs.

────────────────────────────Setting the Path──────────────────────────
EzWare works best when the working directory is specified in the PATH 
statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  This is not a requirement but   
can facilitate the startup and operation of EzWare programs.  Below is
an extract to illustrate the proposed change to this file:

───────────────────────────Getting Started────────────────────────────
After completing the initial installation steps, you can begin EzWare 
by entering:> EZWARE                                                  
                                                                      
This is a good starting point for learning how to use EzWare programs.
The opening menu is loaded with descriptions and commands that may    
assist with your learning about how to take advantage of the many fea-
tures and programs.  EzWare's initial opening menu is organized to    
provide single keystroke access to program tutorials, documentation   
files, database programs with sample data files and utilities.        
                                                                      
To learn about the Desktop Utilities, select option <T> to start      
another menu maker program.  This will display a different menu that  
may further assist with getting started.                              
                                                                      
These initial opening menus are provided to assist with getting       
started.  Upon normal exit from EzWare or EzMenu these settings are   
saved to the respective default files of: EZWARE.EZB and EZMENU.EZB.  
                                                                      
─────────────────────────────EzWare Modules───────────────────────────
"EzWare" is written by SpeedSoft Development, Inc.  for IBM compatible
computer users wanting to manage information, files, and other pro-   
grams with increased speed and ease.  Each main program includes

──────────────────────────────Menu Makers─────────────────────────────
EzWare and EzMenu are menu maker programs with dozens of functions    
to assist with creating as many menus as you like (within the limits  
of your disk space).  There are three menu layout options that provide
different ways to view your menu descriptions, commands and titles.   
EZWARE.EXE differs from EZMENU.EXE only in the default menu settings  
and file names.

───────────────────────File Management Programs───────────────────────
EzFile includes dozens of file operations such as: view, copy, delete,
move, transfer, rename, print, execute, join, empty, attributes and   
several file modification options.  The copy, delete, move and join   
functions allow you to mark more than one file or even all files.

────────────────────────────Status Prompts────────────────────────────
Status prompts are displayed in the upper right hand corner of each   
screen.  When an arrow pointer is displayed in this area, you are     
in a menu or select mode.  Otherwise, status prompts provide infor-   
mation about the status of the Insert, Caps Lock, and Num Lock modes. 
                                                                      
Press the <Ins> key to toggle between insert and over write modes.    
 ■ "Ins" indicates the text insert mode is on.                        
 ■ "Ovr" indicates the overwrite mode is on.                          
                                                                      
Press the <Caps Lock> key to toggle the capital letter default mode.  
 ■ "Caps" indicates the default is capital letters.                   
 ■ "NCap" indicates caps lock is not on.                              
                                                                      
Press the <Num Lock> key to toggle the numeric keypad.                
 ■ "Num Off" indicates the numeric keypad may be used for direction   
   keys.                                                              
 ■ "Num On" indicates the numberic keypad may be used for numeric     
   input.                                                             
─────────────────────Titles and Confirmation Prompts──────────────────
Titles and confirmation prompts appear at the top center of each      
screen.  Titles, in uppercase letters, are a general description of   
the current bar menu selection options.  Confirmation prompts provide 
instant feedback about the status of your last operation.  An example 
of feedback in the form of a confirmation prompt occurs when you      
select the "Delete" option from EzFile's main menu.  When you select  
the file(s) to delete and proceed, the message, "Deletion completed"  
is displayed.  If there is a error that prevents deletion, "File      
error" is displayed.  If you select the "Delete" option and fail to   
specify a file to delete, "No selection made" is displayed.  This is  
just one of many examples where EzWare provides instant feedback.

─────────────────────────────Screen Areas─────────────────────────────
EzWare's screen is divided into three sections.  These are a top line,
a center section, and two bottom lines.  The top line has three areas.
The upper left hand corner displays the current module name and a help
function key.  The middle area of the top line is used to display     
titles, error messages and information regarding status of the latest 
activity.  Refer to the specific help topics <F3,S> for an explanation
of each error message.  The upper right hand corner displays status   
prompts to inform you when to make a selection, wait for a current    
process to finish, or if the insert, num lock or caps lock modes are  
enabled or disabled.  The center part of the EzWare screen is for     
display of files, records, tables, or help screens.  The bottom two   
lines may display menu selections with a brief description of the     
highlighted menu item, or user input for activities other than record 
or text editing.  The bottom line may also display information helpful
to the current operation you are performing.  For example, if you are 
editing a document,  the commonly used direction keys will be display-
ed along with counters that display the current character and line you
are editing.                                                          
──────────────────────────────Bar Menu────────────────────────────────
EzWare products use a bar menu at the bottom of the screen to display 
selection options.  Menu options are arranged across the second to    
the last line of your screen.  The cursor and an arrow prompt point to
the current menu selection.  A brief description of the current option
is displayed at the bottom of your screen.                            
                                                                      
 ■  "Bar Menu Direction Keys" may be used to view each menu           
    description.  Press the Return key < <─┘ > to select the current  
    menu option.                                                      
 ■  EzWare bar menus are organized in a hierarchical fashion with the 
    most often used options starting at the left hand side of the     
    menu.                                                             
 ■  Any menu item may be selected immediately by pressing the letter  
    key corresponding to the first letter of the menu item.  This     
    letter is displayed on the Menu Bar as a capital letter but either
    the upper or lower case letter will immediately select the desired
    menu item.

───────────────────────Macro Utilities - EzMacs───────────────────────
A macro is a recorded sequence of keystrokes and/or commands.  Macros 
save time by inputting desired keystrokes for you when the desired    
Ctrl-Letter Key combination is pressed.  EzMacs is a utility for      
creating, changing and loading macros.  You can access EzMacs by      
pressing <F4> from the bar menu of any EzWare main program.

───────────────────────Examples of Using Macros───────────────────────
The macro table includes several macro sets to provide examples of    
how macros can be used.                                               
 ■ DOS COMMANDS                                                       
    The current macro set is displayed after pressing <F10> to access 
    the DOS gateway utility because many macros are often used for    
    executing commands to the processor.                              
 ■ SENDING PARAMETERS TO PROGRAMS                                     
    Refer to technical operation topics for information about passing 
    parameters                                                        
 ■ CREATING GRAPHICS IMAGES                                           
    Refer to the graphics character sets in the macro table file <F4> 
 ■ COMMON FORMATS                                                     
    Refer to the "Letter headings" set in the macro table file <F4>

─────────────────────────Macro Utility Menu───────────────────────────
After selecting your desired macro set, the macro set is displayed    
and the macro utility menu provides you with options to create or     
change the macro <D>, create or change the macro set's title <T>,     
erase all of the currently displayed macros <E> or activate <A> the   
currently displayed macro set.  Press the escape key <Esc> to save    
your macro set and return to EzMacs's main menu.  From EzMac's main   
menu, press <Esc> and return to the main program, or select "Exit"

────────────────────────────Runtime Status────────────────────────────
A runtime status log is displayed from a main program's help menu or  
by pressing <F5>.  Each main program updates the runtime status log   
each time you enter or exit a main program.  This log may serve as a  
reminder of what programs are active in memory so you can avoid run-  
ning out of memory by running too many programs at the same time.

A DOS gateway is available from any main EzWare program bar menu by

If you enter a DOS command at the user input line, this will be passed
to the command processor.  After your computer executes this command, 
you will automatically return to EzWare.  If you press return with no 
input, you will go to the DOS command line and be prompted to enter   
"EXIT" before returning to EzWare.

───────────────────────────Screen Snapshot────────────────────────────
All EzWare programs and utility modules give you a tool to capture    
any EzWare screen image.  This tool is called, "Screen Snapshot".     
When you want to capture a screen image, press <Shift-F7> and the     
image is written to the file named, "EZSNAP.HLP" that is located in   
the EzWare working directory.  Each screen image is added to this     
file.  EzWord may be used to edit the contents of this file.  The     
"Type" option from "EzFile" may be used to send this file to your     
printer, and the "Empty" option in EzFile will erase images in this   
file without deleting the file so it may be used again.               
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
───────────────────────────Files - EzWare─────────────────────────────
There are many different program files that make up EzWare.  For a    
complete listing of the files included with the main EzWare program,  
Press <F1,R,P,1>.  There are different types of files that are pro-   
vided as part of your package.  Some of these files change as you use 
EzWare.  Some changes are made automatically or there may be occasions
when you want to purposely change one of these files or create new    
ones to become part of your customized system.                        
All of the files that are required for the normal operation of EzWare 
are automatically maintained for you when you normally exit each

─────────────────────────────File Names───────────────────────────────
A file name is 1 to 8 characters in length.  The file name is follow- 
ed by a period, '.' and an extension.  The first eight characters of  
the file name may contain letters, numbers and some special charac-   
ters.  Do not use spaces in a file name.  Refer to your Operating     
System Manual for more details of allowable characters in naming a    
file.                                                                 
                                                                      
All EzWare programs have a consistent file name format to aid in      
recognition and use.

────────────────────────────File Formats──────────────────────────────
All files you create with EzData are text files without any special   
characters embedded in them.  This facilitates the transfer of these  
files into other vendors' software.  Menus created by EzMenu and      
global files used by EzWare are not text files.  These are binary and 
are only intended for use with EzWare programs.  All binary files     
provided with EzWare programs use ".EZB" as the file extension.       
These files are automatically maintained for you by EzWare when you   
normally exit each EzWare program.  All of the EzWare files that end  
with the file extension ".HLP" are text files.  This provides you the 
option of changing these files.  Refer to "Editing EzWare Documenta-  
tion" for more information on the formats of EzWares' documentation   
files.                                                                
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
                                                                      
─────────────────────File Viewing Utility - EzRead────────────────────
EzRead is a useful utility for viewing files.  EzRead is a very fast  
reading utility that saves time finding information in text files.    
When EzRead is called from the command line, parameters may be used.  
The first parameter is a file or path to open and inititalize for     
reading.  A second parameter may be used to specify a search string.  
A third parameter of "1" will change the default search logic from    
case insensitive to case sensitive.  If no parameters are used, EzRead
will start and then prompt you to enter the file name or path of a    
file to open for reading.  In order to maximize the speed of display- 
ing any page in the read file, when this file is first opened for     
reading, an array of pointers is established.  During this process,   
the message, "File Being Initialized" is displayed.  The time required
for initialization depends primarily on speed of reading the disk     
where the file is stored.  Files stored on a hard disk require much   
less time to initialize than the those stored on a floppy disk.  This 
time is also effected by the size of the read file.  Once the initial-
ization is complete, you may browse though the text file and let your 
computer search for a selected page or string at lightning speed.

────────────────────────Searching For a String────────────────────────
EzRead can search for any desired string of characters.  A search     
string is a series of characters, numbers, symbols, phrases or words  
that you want to locate within the read file.  The default search     
logic is case insensitive meaning the occurence of your input string  
is highlighted irregardless of upper or lower case letters.  This     
logic may be changed via the EzRead utility menu to distinguish       
between upper and lower case letters.

──────────────────────────Default Settings────────────────────────────
Default settings are values that EzWare programs load upon initial    
program startup.  All EzWare default files have an ".EZB" file        
extension.  Any changes are automatically saved when you exit from    
the EzWare module so you need not redefine them at the start of each  
session.  All EzWare programs load EZVIEW.EZB to display screen images
and colors.

──────────────────────────Parameter Passing───────────────────────────
Passing information into a program is done with parameters.           
Parameters may be passed into EzWare programs from the command line.  
When no parameters are used, global values in EZ____.EZB will set     
defaults upon program startup.  Each parameter is separated by a      
single space.  The sequence of parameters is important.  Parameter    
syntax is defined in the next topic.                                  
                                                                      
An example of passing a parameter into a program is listed below.     
This illustrates reading the file named, "AUTOEXEC.BAT" which is      
located in the root directory of drive C.

────────────────────────Documentation Notes───────────────────────────
EzRead is a utility that may be used to view any text file and is a   
useful supplement to the standard display features of EzHelp if you   
want to browse the help file or search for a term.                    
                                                                      
For example, if the desired file is kept in the C:\EZ41 subdirectory, 
enter:> EZREAD C:\EZ41\FILENAME.                                      
This command illustrates parameter passing.  Refer to the technical   
operation notes topics for more information about parameters and

You can change any EzWare documentation file using EzNote, <U,T,E>    
from any EzData module.  The format of these documentation files needs
to be maintained such that EzHelp will properly display their con-

If changes are made, use the following guidelines:                    
 ■  The first 76 lines are topics.                                    
 ■  All lines are 70 characters in length.  EzNote insures each line  
    saved to disk is 70 characters long.                              
 ■  Lines 77 to 95 correspond to the first topic on line 1.           
 ■  Lines 96 to 114 correspond to the second topic on line 2.         
 ■  All topics have the same amount of space allocated for them in    
    the file (18 lines of 70 characters in length).
