ExpPrint V1.4.1.2
-----------------
ExpPrint is a Windows 95/NT Explorer context menu extension that lets you
print a listing of the files and folder contents. You can print:

 - The files and folders that you select
 - A branch of the directory
 - Entire disk contents

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.

Installation
------------
ExpPrint is supplied as a self installing executable. You can execute the 
file directly from a web browser, or download it and run it locally.

The installation will expand the following files into your Windows system 
shellext folder and add relevant registry entries.

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

ExpPrint is now ready to use.

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. Display the context menu by clicking with the secondary mouse
button on the selected items, or use the File menu, and choose the
"Print Directory Listing..." menu 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.

Problems?
---------
Q. I've installed ExpPrint but I don't get a "Print Directory Listing"
context menu. What's wrong?

A. This mostly happened with ExpPrint V1.0. It required up to date
versions of the MFC & run-time support DLLs. Later versions of ExpPrint
removed this dependency.

---
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.

Registering
-----------
For information on registering your copy see our web pages.

When you receive your registration information, enter your registered name
and number into the application's About dialog box. You must enter the
information exactly as it appears. If you register the set of utilities,
be sure to use the correct registration number for each product.

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.

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. Select the ExpPrint item
(listed as "Explorer Print Context Menu (Remove Only)") and click the
Add/Remove button.

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

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.
