Notice

WordCab is a file cabinet or file management front end for Microsoft Word 
for Windows. WordCab was written by Frank Ramos. Please send problem reports 
and other comments to 72202.2574@compuserve.com.

                             Installation

Put WORDCAB.EXE and WORDCAB.HLP together in any directory (typically the 
same directory where you put WINWORD.EXE). Run WORDCAB.EXE and use the 
Change Directory option of the File menu to change to the directory where 
you normally store your WinWord document files. That's it!

The first time WordCab is run, files WORDCAB.INI and WORDCAB.DAT will be 
created in the directory where WORDCAB.EXE was put. These files will be 
updated each time WordCab is run thereafter. WordCab makes no other 
modifications to your system besides creating these 2 work files. 

To uninstall WordCab, just delete WORDCAB.EXE, .HLP, .INI and .DAT.

                Special Instructions for Non-English users

If you are using a non-English version of WinWord, then you may need to do 
the following to make WordCab work correctly. Run WordCab and immediately 
exit. This will cause the .INI file to be created (or updated if you had 
been using a previous version of WordCab). Then change the FileOpen and 
FileNew parameters in the .INI file to match the WordBasic syntax for your 
version of WinWord. For example, users of the German version of WinWord 
should make these parameters look like the following (the "O" in "Offnen" 
needs an umlaut):
   FileNew=[DateiNeuStandard]
   FileOpen=[DateiOffnen .Name = %s] 
The leading and trailing square brackets and the %s are not part of the 
standard WordBasic syntax, but are required by WordCab. You should be able 
to find the appropriate WordBasic syntax in the online WinWord help. 

                        What's New in Version 2.1

Add count of files to window caption. Fix bug where title not shown 
correctly for WinWord 6.0 password protected files. No longer require file

a trailing slash, even if root directory.

                        What's New in Version 2.0
