         The Lightwave Utilities distribution diskette may be 
         duplicated and distributed without compensation as long as 
         the diskette is an exact duplicate of the Lightwave Utilities 
         distribution diskette.  All other distribution is strictly 
         prohibited. 
         
         Lightwave suggests that you make a copy of the distribution 
         diskette before you get started.  
         
         You may use either the DOS COPY or DISKCOPY command to copy 
         the distribution diskette.  Lightwave Utilities is perfectly 
         at home in hard disk systems. 

         To check the accuracy of this diskette, enter the command 
         CHECK *.* at the DOS prompt.  The output from this command 
         must match the file CHECK.TXT.  
         
         The programs available on Release 1.0 are:
         
              WHERE    - a program that looks through all the 
                         directories in a drive for a named file.  
                         Filenames and wildcards are accepted. 

              LS       - a program that gives a sorted, columned list 
                         of files in a directory.  Wildcards and paths 
                         are accepted.
         
              DR       - also gives a sorted, columned list, but 
                         includes file sizes.  For drives A and B 
                         only.  Drive name is accepted.
         
         Several of the utilities are written in BASIC.  To access 
         these, enter:

              BASICA MENU
         
         You can select from the menu to do the following.  When
