DIRT (cheap) PAD ©, V1.0  Information 6/95
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This program is "almost, kinda, sorta" freeware. If you have registered any of 
my other 3 shareware programs (RESDUET+, PLAIN OL' BUTTON BAR or YOUR
FILE CABINET) then you are already registered for this. All you need to do is
place a copy of the *.MDG file from one of the other programs into the same
directory as DIRTPAD.EXE (or place DIRTPAD.EXE in the other program's
directory).       

If you like DIRT (cheap) PAD and want the "almost, kinda, sorta" free 
registration,just register one of my other programs (as listed above). It's 
like BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE. These other programs are all available on CompuServe
(several forums), America Online (Windows Magazine forum), the Internet, various 
BBS's around the country and on many CD's AND the registrations are only $15(US) 
for RESDUET+ © and PLAIN OL' BUTTON BAR© or $30(US) for YOUR FILE CABINET©. 

You can check out my World Wide Web site on the Internet (The Kamikaze 
Connection) to download any of these programs (the info is near the bottom of 
the www page). The URL is http://www.america.net/~mg72144/kamikaze.html and 
looks best using the Netscape viewer. This is where you can learn about my 
upcoming book, How To Become A Kamikaze Pilot: The Training Manual©.

The files to look for are RESDUET+ (resdu2a.zip or resdua.zip), PLAIN OL' BUTTON 
BAR (plainbar.zip or planbr.zip) and YOUR FILE CABINET (filecab.zip or filcab.zip).

There is no separate registration for only DIRT (cheap) PAD so if you want it, 
you'll need to register one of the above programs. If you have already registered 
any of the above programs and have no way to download DIRT (cheap) PAD (how would 
you be reading this?), then send $5(US) for shipping and handling and I will send 
you the floppy with this program...be sure to send the name, address and program 
that you registered from me to:

DIRT (cheap) PAD "Undocumented Features":

	1)  Recent files list doesn't delete the menu item and re-order the 
	    list after a file is deleted from the File*Delete File menu. The
	    file is deleted though. 
	B)  Edit menu items aren't disabled when not applicable (big deal)
	3)  If you double-click a text file associated with DirtPad and 
            DirtPad is already open, it does not load the file in DirtPad. 

	These will be fixed in a later version (when time permits).

To run DIRT (cheap) PAD you will need the VBRUN300.DLL Visual Basic runtime
file (found on most BBS's) in your Windows or Windows/System directory
(as long as this is in your path statement). Then add a new program
item to one of your groups (File*New*OK, etc.) using the icon with
DIRT (cheap) PAD.

The files included with DIRT (cheap) PAD are:

 1) dirtpad.exe
    dirtpad.txt - this file
    To be placed in any directory.
     
 B) threed.vbx
    cmdialog.vbx
    commdlg.dll
    csform.vbx
    cscmd.vbx
    emedit.vbx
    mlist.vbx
    qpro200.dll
    ctl3d.dll
    These files need to be placed in your Windows directory (or Windows\System
    if in your path) if you don't already have them. (Please make sure this is
    the most recent version).

 3) dirtpad.ini
    Will be created in the same directory as the main dirt.exe file.
