       IMPORTANT!  ClickDOS II is NOT public domain!  See the distribution
       notice in the file ClickDOS.doc.

       ClickDOS was my entry into the ever growing  number of "directory
       utility"  programs.    I  wrote  the  original ClickDOS primarily
       because of my frustrations with other directory utility programs.
       ClickDOS  has  been  and  continues  to be a successful shareware
       venture  for  me.    I  thank  each  and  every  person  who  has
       contributed to  the project.   I  hope you all have enjoyed using
       ClickDOS.

       This disk contains the second generation of the  ClickDOS utility
       - ClickDOS II  version 1.00.   ClickDOS  II is a MAJOR upgrade of
       the popular  ClickDOS  V2.06.    Just  about  every  suggestion I
       received about  ClickDOS has  been incorporated into ClickDOS II.
       I could not possibly  list everything  which has  been changed or
       enhanced.   Therefore, I  recommend to everyone, even experienced
       users of the original ClickDOS, that  you read  the documentation
       entirely to see what ClickDOS II can do for you. 

       If you  are new  to ClickDOS, I know that directory utilities are
       a-dime-a-dozen,  but  take  a  moment  to  look  (and  play with)
       ClickDOS II.   I think you will like.  Many others have found the
       original program useful and I  think  this  one  is  even better.
       Here are some of the things which I think make ClickDOS II better
       than other directory utilities:

       - ClickDOS II is reasonably small  (for  what  it  does):  42K on
       disk, 56K  in memory  while it is iconified, 75K while its window
       is fully open.

       - It uses a single window on  the Workbench  screen which  can be
       iconified  so  it  doesn't  gobble  up  your chip memory or waste
       memory with bells and whistles.

       - It does not rely on other programs for  most of  its functions.
       Type and  Show functions,  for example, are built in.  This makes
       these function much faster to use.

       - ClickDOS II's data structures are dynamically  allocated and it
       uses Fast  memory for  everything it  can.   Therefore, it's very
       memory efficient.

       - ClickDOS II's gadget and mouse  controls  are,  in  my opinion,
       very logical and easy to use.

        
       PRINTING THE ClickDOS_II.doc FILE

            The ClickDOS_II.doc file is formated to print on any standard
       eighty character wide sixty-six lines per  page printer.  To print
       it:

       1.  Make sure you  have the margins in Preferences set to zero for
       the left and eighty for the right.

       2.  Position  your printer to the very  first line on the page and
       set the top of form (TOF).  You can make sure that the top of form
       is set correctly by turning the printer off and on.  Some printers
       have a TOF button on the front panel.

       3.  Copy the file to the printer using the command:

       COPY ClickDOS_II.doc PRT:

       or use the ClickDOS II PRINT action.
