FileControl ----------- Thank you for deciding to take a look at FileControl. There are versions for both 1-2-3 and for Excel. Please read the documentation before attempting to use or install. Also, instead of printing out CTRL123.TXT or CTRLEXCL.TXT, which are ASCII files, run EXCELDOC.EXE or 123DOC.EXE, which will create CTRLEXCL.DOC and CTRL123.DOC, which is the documentation in Microsoft Word 2 for Windows. This documentation has better graphics and key need to know items are highlighted. Also, this documentation has an extensive table of contents to help you quickly find what you're interested. And, if you have Ami Pro or WordPerfect you can import these files and print them out. AND TO REINFORCE ONE OF THE COMMENTS IN THE DOCUMENTATION, TO MAXIMIZE THE BENEFIT OF FileControl, DO NOT REMOVE IT FROM MEMORY ONCE YOU LOAD THE SPREADSHEET INTO EXCEL OR 1-2-3. YOU'LL USE FileControl FAR MORE OFTEN THIS WAY AND GET FAR MORE BENEFIT FROM IT. The files that make up FileControl are listed below. The files are being distributed in compressed format. The naming convention of the ZIP file is: CTRL-Lxx.ZIP for the Lotus 1-2-3 version CTRL-Exx.ZIP for the Excel version where the x's are replaced with the version of FileControl for Lotus 1-2-3 and Excel respectively. Thus you can tell from the title if the version you are using is different from another that may be on your bulletin board.
