Program Creator version 1.21 Documentation       August 14th 1996
        ------------------------------------------

1. ABOUT

Program Creator is a REXX-program which creates program objects on the
desktop from any program file giving it the program's name without the
path and extension.


2. WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.2?

   - Folder support (look below)!

   - Support for frequently used data files, such as INF, TXT, HTML...

   - Code improvements.

   NEW IN V 1.21:

   - Fixed support for long filenames (with blank spaces).

   - Added support for SYS files.


3. INSTALLATION

Unpack the file PRCR12.ZIP to a temporary directory using either PKUNZIP-
or UNZIP-program. Then start the installation program by typing Install at
the prompt or by double-clicking the Install.cmd object. After the
installation you should add Program Creators path to the SET PATH line of
CONFIG.SYS if you wish to use the program from command line.


4. USAGE

The easiest way to use the program is to drag and drop a supported file
on the Program Creator icon. You can also make a program object at the
command prompt by typing CrProg and as a parameter the name of the
program file. E.g. 'crprog c:\temp\t.exe'. If you start the program
without a parameter or by double clicking the icon, it will display the
correct usage.

Supported file types are:

     Extension     Program object created for
     ---------     --------------------------
	EXE			<---
	CMD			<---
	COM			<---
	BAT			<---
	INF			VIEW.EXE
	TXT			E.EXE
	ME 			E.EXE
	1ST			E.EXE
	NOW			E.EXE
	DOC			E.EXE
        SYS                     E.EXE (for easy editing of config.sys)
	HTM			EXPLORE.EXE
	HTML			EXPLORE.EXE

FOLDER SUPPORT:

Folders are also supported! If you drag a folder on Program Creator, it
will create a new folder on the desktop with the original's name. In the
new folder program objects for program files and important data files
(TXT, INF, 1ST, DOC) will be created. This is especially useful for
program collections like FM/2 utilities.


5. THANK YOU

I wish to thank Mike Prager for sending me his modifications to support
INF files. Thus giving me the idea to support also other file types than
just program files.

Thanks also to Duncan Sargeant for sending me the bug report about long
filenames.


6. LICENCE

Program Creator is FREEWARE so you can freely copy and distribute it as
long as you keep all the included files with it unmodified.
All comments, suggestions and donations for this program are welcome.
If you like Program Creator, send me a postcard!
