---------------------------------------- - ABOUT DELTA 2.2 - ---------------------------------------- Delta allows you to save information about your disk and then compare the differences that may have occured over time. A typical application would involve Windows installation software, where you would save your disk's information before and after the installation, and then compare and check for differences. Delta also allows you to save information contained in text and Windows initialization files and then check for differences. Typical files would include: AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, etc. Other uses would include simply monitoring changes to your drive over time. This is especially useful in a work environment where multiple people may use the same system. This will allow you to unclutter that bogus stuff people leave on your disk and reset your configurations. ---------------------------------------- - INSTALLATION - ---------------------------------------- 1. Copy BWCC.DLL to your Windows system directory (ie: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BWCC.DLL) 2. Create a DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA) 3. Copy DELTA.INI to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.INI) 4. Copy DELTA.EXE to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.EXE) 5. Copy DELTA.HLP to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\DELTA.HLP) 6. Copy LZMAV.DLL to your DELTA directory (ie.: C:\DELTA\LZMAV.DLL) NOTE: DELTA.EXE and DELTA.HLP can be located anywhere on your drive. The only requirement is to have both of these files in the same directory. NOTE: You may elect to copy LZMAV.DLL to your Windows' System directory. (ie.: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LZMAV.DLL) NOTE: I recommend invoking DELTA.EXE and clicking on Help to view the section syntax for DELTA.INI before you actually use Delta. NOTE: BWCC.DLL is Copyrighted by Borland International Inc. ---------------------------------------- - VERSION HISTORY - ---------------------------------------- 2.2 03/04/92 Transformed into "modeless" dialog.
