AFExtractor User Documentation
                                Version 1.0

       Programmed and designed by Oondy of Q-Group for Amiga Format.

INTRODUCTION
Hello  fellow Amiga Format readers!  Those days of painfully extracting the
coverdisks off these CDs are over, with this super-great program written by
yours truly.

One simple program is used to easily extract each coverdisk to your liking.
The program can be configured to your tastes, and is so easy-to-use, even a
horse could use it.

STARTING THE PROGRAM
For  once  in  Amiga programming history, a program which works well on all
Amigas,   including   Workbench   1.3  or  below.   No  painful  hard  disk
installation is needed - you can run it straight from the CD!  Double-click
the appropriate icon for your machine to start.

USING THE PROGRAM
There  are  two  versions  of  the  same  program  - one for any version of
Workbench  1,  and  one for Workbench 2.0 or higher.  Although they operate
completely different, they are just as simple to use.

WORKBENCH 1.3 VERSION
Upon  starting  the  program, a small window will open with a brief message
saying  that you're missing out on bigger things :).  Press RETURN to begin
extraction.   A  simple  menu  will  appear  asking  you to make an option.
Simply  choose  disk  to  extract  by  typing  its corresponding number and
pressing RETURN, and follow the prompts.

If  you  chose  the  Subscribers  disk,  the  program  will ask you for the
password.

To exit the program, type Q at the menu and press RETURN.

WORKBENCH 2.x/3.x+ VERSION
This  version of the program is considerably better than the other version.
It  features  a  font-sensitive  user  interface  and many more options and
configurability to suit your extracting needs.

A  graphical  representation  of  the  window  is  shown  below (excuse the
artwork):

That  describes  the  basics.   In  the windows menus (hold the right mouse
button) are a few more features:

PROJECT MENU
About - describes a few useless things.

Quit - exits the program.

DISK MENU
Extract - starts the extraction process

Destination - allows you to change the destination drive

OPTIONS MENU
Quiet - toggle this on to suppress help windows which may appear

Check  Disk  -  toggle  this on to make the Extractor check the destination
disk.  This is a safeguard and should be on "just in case".

Exit  When Done - set this on to make the Extractor quit when an extraction
has been completed, regardless of any errors that might occur.

Save Settings - select this to save the settings to ENVARC:AFExtractor.cfg.

And  that's about it.  All gadgets have keyboard shortcuts - just press the
corresponding  letter on each gadget that is underlined.  Pressing ESC will
also quit.
