INFORMATION FOR SYSOPS Describe It for Windows Version 3.0 This distribution disk has the following structure: Root Directory..... All DESCRIBE IT files uncompressed. You can install DESCRIBE IT directly from this directory using install.exe. See read1st.txt for installation instructions. \SYSOPS ........... info.txt..... A sample paragraph discription of DESCRIBE IT to provide to your patrons. sysop.txt.... This file. \ZIP ........... dscribit.zip. All files in the root directory above zipped using PKZIP version 1.1. Includes only necessary files for distribution. DESCRIBE IT is a new type of program based on a very simple idea, that keywords can be associated with a file name and be useful not only to find a file but also for putting files in an hierarchical organization. With four (32byte) keywords and a (256byte) description associated with any file, you can distinguish single files and groups of files(having the same keyword) from the thousands of other files on your hard drives. When it is time to discard old files from a hard drive, after having used the keyword "April93" on all uploads to your BBS arriving that month, DESCRIBE IT will find every one of these files. Any notes about a file that you want saved can be placed in the files description. Once found, the file can be viewed by launching any one of up to nine user provided Windows programs while inside Describe It. Sysops who register DESCRIBE IT get a $10 discount from the regular $25 registration fee. Just write the name and phone number of your BBS on the order form.
