			    ExpPrint V1.5.0.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ExpPrint is a Windows extension program that lets you easily print a
listing of your files and folder contents directly from Explorer.

You can print:

 - The files and folders that you select
 - A branch of the directory
 - Entire disk contents
 - File Name
 - File Size
 - File Type
 - Modified, Last Accessed, and Created time stamps
 - File Attributes

ExpPrint has comprehensive sorting capabilities, and several options that
let you tailor the content of the printout. You can also generate a text
file that is suitable for importing into a spreadsheet to give you more
possibilities.

Note
----
You might like to print this file so that you can easily refer to it
during installation.

You can re-read this file after installation by clicking the Start ->
Programs -> JD Design -> ExpPrint -> Readme menu item.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------
			      Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run the ExpPrint program (ExpPrint.exe) directly from your web browser (if
you're accessing ExpPrint from our web site), or download it and run the
program from your hard disk, or the supplied floppy disk (if you've
ordered one with your registration).


Setup will copy files to your computer and then prompt you for your
registration information (which you can skip if you're evaluating it).

The last step of Setup informs you that ExpPrint is installed and briefly
tells you how to use it. If you're upgrading an existing version, setup
may need to restart Windows.

Installing under Windows 2000 or NT4 
------------------------------------

You need to run the installation from an account with Administrator 
privileges.

Currently, the Start Menu, Program sub-folder is created under the user 
account who installs the program. This means that if you have to logon as 
Administrator in order to install, the menu items are installed only under 
the Administrator's Start Menu. To make the menu items available under 
your normal user account, open Explorer and move the JD Design sub-folder 
from the Administrator Start Menu/Programs folder.

Administration Installation
---------------------------

The installer supports "quiet" installation, for example:

	expprint.exe /Q:A /C:expprint.inf


Files Installed by Setup
------------------------

Setup copies the following files to a folder named shellext beneath your
Windows system folder:


ExpPrint.dll	The ExpPrint Context Menu DLL
ExpPrint.hlp	Help for ExpPrint
ExpPrint.txt	This file
ExpPrint.inf	The Setup Information File

For Windows 9x, this is likely to be the Windows\System\ShellExt folder.
For Windows NT or 2000, this is likely to be WinNT\System32\ShellExt.


Setup will also add relevant registry entries and Start menu items.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------
			How Do You Use ExpPrint?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Select the directory branch, disk drive, or the set of files you want
to print in an Explorer window.

2. Right click on the selected items to display the context menu and
choose the "Print Directory Listing..." item to display the ExpPrint
dialog box.

The main ExpPrint dialog box lets you configure the settings. Note that an
unregistered version does not let you save or restore any settings, and
prints an evaluation banner on the page footer.

For more information see the ExpPrint help.

When you receive your registration information, enter your registered name
and number into the About dialog box. You can access this dialog from the
Start menu shortcut, or from the main ExpPrint dialog About button.

You must enter the information exactly as it appears. The case, spaces,
and punctuation of the name are significant, and the number is composed of
the characters 0-9, A-F and again, the case of the letters is significant.
If you register the set of utilities, be sure to use the correct
registration number for each product.

You can check that registration has worked by re-displaying the About box
from the main dialog. When the product is successfully registered your
registration name is displayed in the About dialog rather than the entry
fields.


Updates
-------
Any updates to the current version are free to registered users by
downloading the latest version from our web site. Your current
registration number will continue to work with updates.



Problems?
---------
Q. The "Full Path Name" check box doesn't do what I expect.

A. This facility is only really useful when printing the search results
from the Find Files window. For normal use, leave this unchecked.

---
Q. ExpPrint's printed file name doesn't match what I see with Explorer

A. Windows Explorer adjusts its displayed file names so that you don't
normally see all upper case file names. ExpPrint does not duplicate this
behaviour, hence you may see cosmetic differences in upper/lower case
naming. Also, when ExpPrint uses the "Print Full Path Name" setting, it
gets the displayed name by an alternative method, so you may see some
differences with this setting too. You can verify the correct name of a
file by using the DIR command from an MS-DOS prompt under Windows.
Internet Explorer 4 has a setting that disables Explorer's upper case file
hiding - see the View, Folder Options dialog, View tab, Allow all
uppercase names, check box.

Removal
-------

Note: Because the Windows INF de-installer cannot currently delete files
that are loaded in memory, we recommend that you first reboot your
machine. Then, remove the component without first using it. This will
ensure that the files are correctly deleted.

Use the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs item and choose the ExpPrint
item (listed as "JD Design ExpPrint (Remove Only)").

Revision History
----------------

V1.5.0.0  13 May 2001
--------------------
Added facility to indicate shared folders by appending "<*>" to the
folder name.
Added facility to prefix folders with a '\'. This makes it easier to
identify folder items in the printout.
Re-enable the display of the menu option for shortcuts - it was useful
because it allows you to print a folder through a shortcut.

V1.4.2.0  1 Feb 2001
--------------------
Correction to support numerical output of file sizes in locales that use Indic
grouping of numbers 12,34,45,789.
Prevent the ExpPrint menu option appearing on the Start button context menu.

V1.4.1.8  28 Nov 1999
---------------------
Cosmetic adjustment to properly align the size header with the column data.
Changes to improve installation/registration and documentation.


V1.4.1.7  18 Sept 1999
----------------------
Modified the About dialog. Changed the registration number field to make
it a little easier to enter the number. Updated the home page URL and
added a mail link.


V1.4.1.6  27 June 1999
----------------------
Introduced a minimum space between the name and size columns. This
prevents the file name running into the size figures.

Fixed a typo on the main dialog.

V1.4.1.5  8 June 1999
---------------------
Added support for new attributes introduced with Windows NT 2000.  Added
the "Skip Unlisted" check box to exclude folders that don't get expanded
when the "Max sub-dir depth" limit is reached. With this check box off,
sub-directories that aren't fully listed are printed with a *. With this
check box on, those entries aren't listed at all.

V1.4.1.4   30 January 1999
---------------------------
Minor change to allow international registration names.

V1.4.1.3 January 1998
---------------------

Minor - no change in functionality.

V1.4.1.2 December 1998
----------------------

Rebuilt and updated documentation to reflect the self extracting installer.

V1.4.1.0 November 1998
----------------------

Added the "None" formats to the date & time combo boxes to provide a
proper method of inhibiting the time or date fields.  Added a space
character to the size column format so that the right aligned size column
doesn't run into the left aligned column that follows it.

V1.4.0.1 August 1998
--------------------

Bug fix. Prior to this version, if you printed the contents of a
removable disk, and removed the disk, it could give rise to Explorer not
being able to launch any programs from its Start menu. This version fixes
this problem, which is easily avoided in earlier versions by leaving the
removable disk in the drive.

V1.4 August 1998
----------------

Added support for colour selection of the fonts - you can now print the
header/footer, body, and folder texts in their own colours.

Modified the footer printout slightly. The tab separator between the page
number and time combined with the right alignment gave rise to truncation
in some situations. The separator is now 4 spaces.

V1.3.1 July 1998
----------------

Fixes a minor problem where printing to a text file continues when you
have an empty (or invalid) file name.

V1.3 March 1998
---------------

Enhanced indenting to give more flexibility. You can now indent as before
(Directories only), indent files, or you can double indent by setting both
Directories & files. See the help topic for a more graphical explanation.

ExpPrint now uses the standard system date & time formats in the date &
time combo boxes, rather than using its own preset defaults.

V1.2 January 1998
-----------------

Added the reverse sorting facility.

Changed the simple "Process sub-directories" setting to a "Sub-directory
depth" entry. This gives you control over how many sub-directories are
processed, so that you can choose to only list the top 'N' directories.
Note that directories that aren't listed in full will print with a "*"
marker after their name to indicate that their contents are not printed.

Extra font settings for headers & footers.

Better optimisation in the use of the right aligned space left by the
size column.

Indenting now applies to text file as well as the printed output.

Heading output to text file.

Changed logo & added the cosmetic bitmap display to the context menu
for easier indication of the ExpPrint menu item.

Fixed a few minor cosmetic problems.

V1.1 October 1997
-----------------

New registration system.

Full path name option for use with Explorer's Find Files facility.

The page footer now prints the page number, and date & time at the right
hand side of the page, rather than centered, so that long paths aren't as
easily overwritten.

Specific indication of system time & date setting facility in the time &
date drop down combo boxes.

Fixed a quirk with user entered time & date formats - non default entries
were lost when ExpPrint was restarted.

Fixed potential quirk in keyboard handling when controls are disabled.

This version is larger than prior versions because it no longer uses the
MFC DLLs that V1.0 used.
