1. PURPOSE

SmartDir is a utility that can be used to produce customized file
listings, as well as other reports that help you manage your disk
space. Its operation is passive in nature (it will not modify or
delete any files). It is designed to merely read information from
your file directory entries and produce reports based on this data.
Directory Size Reports show the total space used by each
directory. Large Files Reports list all files over a given size.
Deletion Candidates Reports list other files you may be able to
safely delete. These reports can help you free up valuable disk
space that is occupied by unneeded or unused files. Generates plain
text documents that can be printed, saved, or copied and pasted into
other programs. An optional tab-delimited output format allows easy
exporting to spreadsheets or databases. Can handle large network
server volumes. Written as a standard Windows MFC program using
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0, it is fast and eliminates the need to
download and maintain additional runtime libraries.


2. INSTALLATION

The smdir20.exe file included in this archive is a self-extracting
install file. It will temporarily extract files to your "temp"
directory and launch the Setup program. The default install
location for SmartDir is C:\Program Files\Gavlock Consulting, but
this can be overridden during the installation. An uninstall program
that will completely remove SmartDir from your system is also
provided.


3. SHAREWARE

SmartDir is distributed as shareware. The shareware (unregistered)
version is a complete working version of the program but limits the
number of report items processed after the first 20 reports (to help
provide a full evaluation, there are no limits placed on the first 20
reports generated). If you wish to continue to use the program and
have these limits removed, a $20 registration fee is required.
Registered users also receive priority technical support, priority
enhancement consideration, and prompt notification of future product
updates.


4. DISTRIBUTION

The shareware version of SmartDir may be freely distributed for
evaluation purposes without charge.
