This is File Commander, a new product from Wilson WindowWare. 
 The documentation for this product is still incomplete.  We're
 whacking it into shape as fast as we can.  Once you figure out
 what this product can do, I'm sure you will excuse us.


PURPOSE:

   File Commander is an extender for the Win 3.1 File Manager.  It adds
   a menu item to the File Manager menu bar.  From this single top-level
   menu item, File Commander allow you to make up to 99 menu items spread
   upto 5 levels deep.

   The menu items, when selected, execute our Windows Interface Language (WIL)
   code.  What is the WIL language?  Well, its the Windows batch file language
   developed by Wilson WindowWare, and found in the following products:

     Wilson WindowWare: Command Post     - As the menu script language
     Wilson WindowWare: WinBatch         - The Windows batch language
     Symantec:          Norton Desktop   - The Batch Runner/Builder language 
     PubTech:           BatchWorks       - The Windows batch language

     >>> If you have used Command Post, you will find the menu scripts
     >>> *remarkably* similiar. 

   The WIL language supports zillions (well maybe 200) different functions
   that allow you to do pritnear anything.  Included with this ZIP file is
   most of the Command Post documentation (as FILECMDR.TXT) and a file
   highlighting new features recently added to Command Post, WinBatch and
   now File Commander (NEWSTUFF.TXT).

   The documentation does not yet exactly match the product, but an
   examination of the WWWFMEXT.FME menu script file and a look at the
   function reference should do wonders.

   In the NEWSTUFF.TXT file (page 88-89) (Search for "Multiple Menu Levels")
   is a discussion on how to code the menus for each level of drop-down
   menu.  Basically it is just column-dependent.  Good Luck.

     

HOW TO INSTALL:

   File Commander consists of 2 DLL's and one menu script file.  To wit:

      WWWBATCH.DLL - Our Batch processor DLL
      WWWFMEXT.DLL - The interface with the File Manager

      WWWFMEXT.FME - The File Manager Extender script.  This is the menu
                     script file. It can be edited with any text editor.
                     Notepad, WinEdit, Brief, etc.

      Also included is
      BROWSER.EXE  - A text file browser.  Very handy


   To connect File Commander into your system, edit the WINFILE.INI file
   in your Windows directroy.  Add the following lines:

      [AddOns]
      WWW=WWWFMEXT.DLL

   and copy all 3 files to any directory in your path statement.
   Also copy BROWSER.EXE to the same place if you want Browser.

HOW-2-ADD YOUR OWN MENU ITEMS

   Edit the WWWFMEXT.FME file.  The file is COLUMN SENSITIVE, especially
   in the first four columns with define the menu item titles.  Menu
   batch code should start in column 5 or later (I like col 8).



FUTURE:

   File Commander is a shareware product selling (currently)
   for $49.95.  People who have licensed Command Post from us 
   in the past may license File Commander for $35.
