Dragon Stamper Version 1.0: _______ ____|__ | (R) --| | |------------------- | ____|__ | Association of | | |_| Shareware |__| o | Professionals -----| | |--------------------- |___|___| MEMBER Introduction: Dragon Stamper is a utility for Microsoft Windows 3.1 and later. Its purpose is to change the time and date settings on files. Dragon Stamper is normally distributed as a compressed file that was created using WinZip 5.6 by Nico Mak Computing, Inc. The instructions below assume that the files have been decompressed. The following files should be present in the install directory or disk: FILE_ID.DIZ BBS description file. SDN.ID BBS description file (Shareware distribution network). LICENSE.TXT Conditions for use of Dragon Stamper. VENDOR.TXT Notes for software vendors. DRAGON.EXE The Dragon Stamper application. INSTALL.EXE Dragon Stamper installer. README.TXT This file. DRAGDLL.DLL File Manager extension. To launch Dragon Stamper from within File Manager. (Registered version only.) Instructions: To install Dragon Stamper, simply run the file INSTALL.EXE from inside Windows. The most convenient way to do this is by double clicking on the INSTALL.EXE file in File Manager. You will then be presented with several self-explanatory options. Please note that the File Manager options presented by the Install program are only available in the Registered version. To use Dragon Stamper, simply run it from inside Windows by double-clicking on its' Icon in Program Manager or by entering the path in "Run" menu. The registered version of Dragon Stamper can also be launched from a pull-down menu in File Manager. If you have the Windows 3.11 File Manager, then a toolbar button may also be used. The pull-down menu and toolbar buttons are both added by the Install program for the Registered version. When the program starts, simply enter up to three desired date and time combinations. Click on one of the 'Use' buttons to select which time and date will be active. Or, use the 'Now' buttons to automatically change the displayed time and date to the setting of your PC's internal clock. Start File Manager (if it is not already displayed). Then, just drag and drop your files into the Dragon Stamper window to change their file dates. You may select entire groups of files to drag into Dragon Stamper at the same time. If you minimize Dragon Stamper it will continue to function as normal, just drag and drop the files onto the Icon. The dates you choose will be saved when you shut down Dragon Stamper. Uninstalling Dragon Stamper: Simply clicking on the Uninstall Dragon Stamper icon should be sufficient in most cases. However, the variety of different PC configurations means that manual intervention is sometimes needed (especially if you are using a non-standard Windows shell program). If the Uninstall procedure fails to remove all of the Dragon Stamper files, then the remaining files along with the DRAGON directory, should be manually deleted using File Manager. If the Program Manager group is not deleted then this can be accomplished manually by just selecting each item individually and pressing the Delete key. When all items are removed a further press of the Delete key will remove the Program Manager group. Registering Dragon Stamper: Dragon Stamper is not free software. It is a Shareware program.
