                      GrTool12.zip  -  Great-Tools

                              Version 1.2

                       written by Roland Ortloff



0) Again more tools?
====================

After a long time working on a computer, I created several little tools
that make my life easier. Since there are now quite a few, I thought
that other people may be happy as well if they could use it.


1) Overview
===========

Cdd     : Change Drive and Directory at once
Cycle   : Rename filenames cyclically
DirBut  : Shows any files but the selected ones
Fcdd    : Find & Change Drive & Directory
FileTest: Deletes a given file with a specific size
Incfind : For C-Programmers: Finds recursively every file that is #included
Logdiary: Keeps track on every turning on/ off of your computer
Lookfor : Search a file along your PATH-variable
Quick Change Directory: Easily changing directory by jumping around the tree
SavePath: Creates a batch to jump back to the current directory
Sorter  : Sortes and manipulates in many ways your text-files
Tape    : Calculates best fit to copy songs on a single side of a tape
Timex   : Shows time a program needs to run, eg. for testing own algorithms
WcNew   : Calculates sum lines/ words/ characters and sum of each character
WriText : Prints a colored text on a specified place on a screen,
          may be included in your own batch-files


2) System Requirements
======================

The programs were compiled on a 486/ 33, MS-Dos 6.22, however they
should work on a "lower" PC as well. However, for incfind, logdiary,
sorter and wcnew you may need a 386+. If it doesn't work and you're
interested, please let me know and I'll try to fit your demands.


3) License
==========

This version of GrTool is NOT public domain or free software,
but is being distributed as "shareware".

Non-registered users of this software are granted a limited
license to make an evaluation copy for trial use on a private,
non-commercial basis, for the express purpose of determining
whether Great-Tools are suitable for their needs. At the end
of this trial period, you should either register your copy or
discontinue using it.


4) Shareware Policies
=====================

The only difference to registered version is the
extra line on the help-screen showing that it is
an unregistered version, except qcd.exe, where
some features don't work in unregistered version.
I think, this will encourage the most to register
and help a poor student to survive :)


5) BBS Operators
================

Operators of electronic bulletin board systems (Sysops) are
encouraged to post Great-Tools for downloading by their users,
as long as the above conditions are met.


6) Disclaimer
=============

The software and accompanying written materials (including
instructions for use) are provided "AS IS" without warranty of
any kind. Further, I do not warrant, guarantee, or make any
representations regarding the use, or the results of the use,
of the software or written materials in terms of correctness,
accuracy, reliability, currentness, or otherwise. The entire risk
as to the result and performance of the software is assumed by you.
If the software or written materials are defective you, and not
the author assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing,
repair, or correction.

It's is not allowed to change, disassemble or manipulate any of
the tools in one way or another without the written permission
of its author.


7) Trademarks
=============

All trademarks and copyrights belong to ME!
Who else would they belong to anyway?
  

8) Why should I register?
=========================

Well, there's only one more beer left in the kitchen,
and I really need the money to get me some new bread :)

Furthermore, the registration of Great-Tools entitles you to use
the tools even after the trial period - and: you'll have a clear
conscience, because you prevented a poor student from starving!

In addition, you'll get a version without the annoying beeps and
messages. Also, you'll get the entire source code of the tools.


9) How can I register?
======================

Registration costs $5 for every single tool or - special offer
just for YOU - $35 for all the tools together.

Just send an e-mail to the address listed at the end of the file.

Don't forget to tell which ones you're interested in,
and I'll tell you where the money goes to.


Ok, that's it for today, thanx for using my tools.
In case you might find some bugs, please feel free to drop me a line.

Ciao Roland :)


P.S.: I apologize for my bad English,
      it's been a while since I had it at school.
