        SPOON is a utility to add SAUCE to your files.  If you don't know
   what SAUCE is, you may want to check out SAUCE.TXT.  In short, SAUCE
   stands for "Standard Architecture for Universal Comment Extensions".
   SAUCE adds a full description to ANSi, Graphics, sound and several
   more types of files.

        In case you don't like SAUCE.  SPOON ][ will just as easily help
   you to remove SAUCE.

        After a long time of 'managing' with SPOON, SPOON ][ was
   developed.  It provides an improved user interface over the original
   SPOON, and has several handy features that simply HAD to be there...
   Things like detecting the size of several of the most common image
   types.

³  How does it work ?      º
ÀÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ¼

   SPOON is a very straightforward utility.

        After typing SPOON at the DOS prompt, SPOON will load the list
   of files in the path and present them to you.  You can use the
   Up/Down cursor keys to select the file you want.  You will notice
   the right window stating either "NO SAUCE" indicating the selected
   file has no SAUCE, or it will contain the full SAUCE details.

   Pressing [Enter] will select the file, and will put SPOON in SAUCE
   edit mode, where you can modify what you want.  SPOON will do it's
   best in autodetecting as much as possible.  If a file already has
   SAUCE, no autodetection occurs.

   Pressing [Enter] on a directory will make that directory active.

   Pressing [Del] on a SAUCEd file will delete the SAUCE information.

   The edit mode works like most input screens.  You can type the text
   you want in the appropriate fields.  Pressing [F2] will allow you to
   Select the Datatype and Filetype.

   [Esc] brings you back to the file selection without saving any
   modifications.  [F10] will save the SAUCE information and bring you back
   to the file selection.

³  Customizing SPOON       º
ÀÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ¼

   SPOON has very little SAUCE-related specifics hard-coded.  Most of
   the SAUCE specs are defined in SPOON.INI, which you can modify to
   your liking.  In addition to adding new filetypes and new
   datatypes, you can modify the list of autodetected authors, and
   the types of files you'll be using.  Check out SPOON.INI for
   further details.  Everything for customizing SPOON is explained in
   there.
