Thank you for your interest in Directory Toolkit!

Directory Toolkit for Windows 95/NT (shareware) - A multipurpose
directory comparison and file manager that provides features missing
from Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 or higher.  It displays single
directory lists or side-by-side directory comparisons using color
coding for alike, different, or missing files.  Comparisons can be
based on dates or a binary file analysis of file content.  You can
copy, move, & rename files while retaining long filenames and six
built-in synchronize functions simplify updating directories.
Built-in archive functions, with Explorer shell extensions, let you
create & manage archives from Explorer and use Directory Toolkit as
your primary archive manager for supported archives (ZIP, TAR, &
GZ).  File operations and directory comparison functions work
seamlessly on files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract
files first.  

Other features include statistics for file counts and path sizes;
Ignoring filename case during comparisons; Explorer compatible OLE
drag n Drop; Split/Concatenate files to/from diskettes;
Encode/Decode UENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), and XXENCODE
formats (Decode also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain
text); An integrated comparison viewer for a color coded display of
the actual differences in files; Safe physical sort of directories;
Touch files (change time/date & attributes stamps); Find duplicate
files on a drive; Open files and launch applications; Multiple
include/exclude file masks and the ability to include/exclude files
based on size and date; Command line switches to automate
comparisons & synchronize operations via batch files; Configurable
output file and print functions to create reports of single and
comparison directory lists; Detects & runs (optionally) setup
programs in archives; File numbering to number files sequentially
based on adjustable sort order and a user defined starting value.
Help file with examples included.  International versions are
available at http://www.funduc.com.

New features in v2.4-2.65 include:
- A confirmation of File Operations to be executed with all files
  to be processed listed.
- Include/exclude masks for paths and/or files are supported and 
  a user interface is now available(... button next to mask field).
- Attributes can be set on multiple files/directories along with
  date/time stamps using the Touch feature.
- Total directory sizes and selected files statistics are now
  displayed.
- New Option for "Use case sensitive check for file names" was
  added.
- GZ and TAR archives are now supported.
- Directory or Compare Results can now be printed.
- File Operations supports more powerful masks and a file numbering 
  feature. 
- Sort indicators are displayed on sorted columns.
- Quoted-printable and plain text files are also decoded now.
- Split file feature allows starting with a specific disk, instead of 
  the first. 
- Foreign version DLLs can be used.  A German version will be 
  available in January.  Please contact us if you wish to help 
  translating to other languages. 
- Option for turning on/off display of files in only 1 dir. 
- Filters for processing files between dates, sizes.  See Options. 
- Show Subdirectories setting can now be used in One Directory View 
  also. 
- Output Options were split from Compare Options and expanded.  An 
  Output file can now be produced to display one directory tree with 
  subdirectories. Fields in the report can be selected and the 
  delimiter can be changed. 
- Data tips are displayed when data in a column of the main window is 
  partially displayed. 
- If an archive is first displayed and it contains a SETUP program, 
  Directory Toolkit prompts if all files should be temporarily 
  decompressed and the installation executed.  Upon completion, 
  closing DT will clean the temporary files. 
- Extract and Add to ZIP toolbar buttons and menus are available. 
- You can select several files and/or directories from the Explorer, 
  right-click and select Add to ZIP file.  Also, archives in the form 
  of self-extracting executables in PKZIP format can be right-clicked 
  and opened as archives. 
- You can now synchronize ZIP files to directories or to other ZIP 
  files as well as directories to directories.  ZIP files and 
  directories can be created (enter the name in the main dialog or 
  the File Operations dialog). 
- A Network button is available for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 users in 
  the Select Directory window. 
- Older files are displayed in blue (reversed icon for color-blind 
  users) in Comparison View, when not using Binary Compare Files. 
- A new Option for time stamp comparison precision (in seconds) was 
  added due to the DOS/Windows 95 storing of even second time stamp 
  whereas Windows NT contains the correct time stamp. 
- When dragging and dropping files between the Directory Toolkit's 
  lists, the directory structure is recreated. 
- Improved output file generation. 
- Ignore whitespace option for text files in Compare Files dialog. 
- BinHex and XXE encoding is now supported. 
- Clicking on the column headers will sort the output and 
  automatically change the appropriate Options.  Clicking again 
  reverses the sort order. 
- Once files are displayed, sorting is faster. 
- User's column sizing is saved across sessions and during window 
  resizing. 
- Progress meters are displayed for lengthy operations. 
- ESC key can stop compare operations. 
- User's date format (in Control Panel) is now used for directory 
  display. 
- A match different duplicate files allows you to find duplicate 
  files on a drive by checking the box (in Options) and using the 
  same path (ie. e:\ and e:\).  This option can also be used with 
  different drives and files will be matched regardless of the 
  complete path. 
- Command line parameters can now be used to start a synch or compare 
  directories operation.  See help for more specifics. 
- Compare Files will automatically detect if one of the files is 
  binary and display the report as a Hex Dump rather than a line-by-
  line comparison. 
- The Decode feature will allow decoding of files which do not 
  specify a file name in the MIME header. 
- Toolbar buttons were added for Options and Compare Files. 
- Compare Files dialog can display files one above the other or side 
  by side (see Options dialog). 
- Synchronize Directories now has a Remove Duplicate files from 
  Target option. 
- Windows NT 3.51 is now detected and supported for the Synchronize 
  and Sort/Concatenate features. 
- Allow display of identical files only, different files only or all 
  files (default). 
- Allow sorting of Compare Directories list by date/size/name/type 
  ascending or descending. 
- Expanding of the Options using a tabbed dialog. 
- Detailed side-by-side file comparison report.  Any two files can be 
  selected. 
- Compare Directories can generate a tab-delimited output file (see 
  Options). 
- Include Subdirectories switch is now available on the View menu. 
- Additional toolbar items were added for Refresh and Synch. 
  Directories. 
- Improved detection of encoded files and a variation of BinHex files 
  can now be decoded. 
- F7, F8, Del keys work as in File Manager (Move,Copy, Delete) and F2 
  Renames. 
- Encoding (UUENCODE and Base64) of files. 
- Additional options (Refresh, Update, Prune) for Synchronize 
  Directories feature. 
- Concatenate dialog allows decoding of target file when done. 
- Exclude masks can now be used.  For example: 
  *.*;~*.swp;~*.exe;~*.dll will process all but *.swp;*.exe;*.dll 
  files.  No limit on the number of files processed exists. 
- Two status messages are displayed (one for each directory). 
- Decoding now supports XXENCODED, user (table) formats as well as 
  multi-part and multiple attachments in one file. 
- Drag and Drop to and from any application that supports OLE file 
  dragging. 
- Binary compare of files regardless of date/time stamp (see Compare 
  Options). 

Planned enhancements:
- Option for time zone differences between the two paths.
- Option for overwriting newer files with older files (if edits need
  to be rolled back).
- Support for script files which will keep track of paths and 
  masks and allow quick synchronization. 
- Support for .Z, .ARJ, .LHA archives for read and extract (due to
  patent restrictions).
- Support for more foreign languages.

As part of the registration fee, you will also receive free updates 
and customer support for six months (by E-MAIL).  For ordering 
information, see the help file or the About Box.

Our shareware and freeware products include:

Search and Replace for Windows 95/NT 3x (shareware) - Search and
Replace looks through multiple files for a string and can also
replace it with another string.  It can search subdirectories and
ZIP files and do case sensitive or insensitive searches.  Extensive
support for regular expression (egrep) search & replacement includes
operations that span more than one line, insertion of the path &
filename during replacements, and incrementing number replacements.
Binary search & replace mode can be combined with regular
expressions.  Precise control over replacements is available through
multiple confirmation options and a built-in context viewer that
allows you to view replacements in-context, before they are made.  A
built-in script editor makes frequent &/or complex multi-step
search/replace operations easy to prepare.  Advanced script
operations include a boolean expression evaluator that provides
additional control over which files are processed by the script.
Advanced scripts also allow you to specify the program options in
effect and insert comments in scripts. Multiple file masks and file
date & size filters can be used to include &/or exclude files during
regular and scripted operations.  The internal context viewer
includes a build-in editor for editing text files.  The full
complement of command line switches (including script launching) is
ideal for network managers & advanced users. Other functions
include: "Touch" files (change time/date stamp & file attributes);
Preservation of original file date during replacements; Replacements
on backup path files instead of the originals; Output reports to
monitor operations; Shell extensions to launch Search & Replace from
Explorer and the Find Menu; and more.  Separate executables for
Win3x and Win95/NT and a detailed help file with examples are
included. German and Japanese versions and a French program
interface are available from http://www.funduc.com.  Cost: $25

Shortcut Doctor for Windows 95/NT (shareware) - Shortcut Doctor
allows you to check all your links/shortcuts and see which contain
targets which can no longer be found.  You can then delete the
shortcuts, resolve them or replace all shortcuts pointing to a
certain drive or directory with another (after validation of new
path is made). Individual shortcuts can be edited and all shortcuts
on a drive can be displayed, regardless of whether they are valid or
not.  CD-ROM drives or network drives can be ignored during
processing. Cost: $10.

Funduc Explorer Extensions (shareware) - Explorer Extensions allow
you to perform additional tasks using a familiar interface: the
Windows 95/NT Explorer.  You can split and concatenate files to/from
diskettes; Encode/Decode UUENCODE, Base64(Mime), BinHex(Mac), and
XXENCODE formats (Decode also includes printable, 7 bit unencoded, &
plain text), Touch files (change time/date stamp as well as
attributes). Cost: $15.

HexView for Windows 95/NT (freeware) -  HexView allows you to view,
print, print preview of any file as a Hex Dump.  HexView is
intended as a free companion program to our utility, Search and
Replace. However, it is a standalone application and you are free
to use it as you see fit.  The source code (C++ using MFC 4.x or
higher) can be downloaded for free from http://www.funduc.com. 

INI to Registry for Windows 95/NT (freeware) - This program works 
well with any program that relies on .ini files.  It can read the 
contents of any INI file and load them into the Windows 95/NT 
registry.  That way programs which previously used INI files can 
read the old data from the registry.  The program is free.  The 
source code is available for 25.  Please E-MAIL info@funduc.com for 
information on purchasing the source code. 

Decode Windows 95 Shell Extension (freeware) - This Explorer 
extension provides a subset of the decoding features available in 
Directory Toolkit.  It allows you to decode a UUENCODED, XXENCODED, 
BinHex or Base64(MIME) file by simply right-clicking on it in the 
Explorer and selecting Decode from the menu.  It supports multiple 
attachments, multi-part files (already concatenated), XXENCODED and 
User (table) encoded files in addition to UUENCODED, Base64(MIME) 
and BinHex (Mac format) files.

Count Characters (freeware) - This little app was written to: a)
Allow users to dump the contents of combo, edit and list boxes as
well as static and button fields to the clipboard.  This can come in
handy for browser lists, as well as items displayed by other
applications to which you otherwise have no access.  b) To help
users understand how applications are built (what types of controls
are used).  Other tools are available for this of course but they
are usually known only to programmers.  c) To allow users to know at
any time how many characters they have typed in an edit box.  This
might be useful, for example, if a site asks you to only enter a
certain amount of data in their fields but don't tell you that you
went over until it's too late.  Depending on the editor, html
authors might also find this handy for double checking the length of
meta tags.  Separate Win3x & Win 95/98/NT versions included.

Custom programming and consulting services are also available.
