WHAT ARE THE IT UTILITIES
It Utilities are not free or public domain software. Non-
registered user are permitted to use them for a 21 days trial
period. To continue using these utilities for more than 21 days
requires registration.
The It Utilities are extensions to the File manager of Window's
3.1. They use the drag and drop facility of the File manager to
enhance it. Instead of buying a replacement File manager you can
add functions to it, you won't have to learn a whole new tool.
These utilities are enhanced with icon animation and sound.
The first utility is Trash It and implements a trash can to delete
files. Trash It can keep files from your fixed disk when deleting
so you can undelete them if need be. The trash can is emptied when
Trash It is closed.
The second utility is View It, a file viewer that can show up to
four text files at a time. View It does not load files in memory,
it reads each page from the disk when needed. View It is thus
capable of showing text files of ANY size.
The third utility is Zip It, a shell for PKWare's PKZip and
PKUnzip. For this release you need a copy of PKZip and PKUnzip to
use Zip It.
Finally Load It is an extension menu to the File manager to
automatically or manually load/unload the It Utilities when you
start or close the File manager.
Apart from Load It, these utilities may also be used with other
File manager's that support drag and drop.
For more information on each utilities you should check out the
help provided. You can access the help of each utility from their
respective system menu. The Load It help is accessed from the Load
it menu command added to the File manager's main menu.
HOW TO INSTALL
Simply run the Install program provided. You should restart the
File Manager after installing to activate the It Utilities.
These utilities are minimized as icons and you must reduce the
size of the File manager to access them. The easiest way to do
this is:
1. Minimize all your running applications to icons except the
File Manager.
2. Double click on the desktop or press CTRL-ESCAPE to bring up
the Task Manager.
3. Click on the Tile button.
You will then have the largest File Manager window possible with
access to the It Utilities.
You should follow the uninstalling steps before re-installing the
It Utilities, after registering for example, or before installing
a new version of the It Utilities. (see HOW TO UNINSTALL)
If you install over a previous copy of the same version of the It
Utilities you should close the File manager and any It Utilities
before running the install. You can start the install from the
Program manager (File|Run). If you start the install from the File
manager, you must close it immediately after the first screen of
the install program appears. This will enable the install to
overwrite existing files, since Windows will not let an
application write over files that are in use. You will also get
duplicate icons in the Program manager, you should delete the
extra ones.
HOW TO UNINSTALL
If you decide not to purchase the It Utilities after the 21 days
trial period or you would like to delete the It Utilities for some
reason, please follow the following steps.
1. Edit the WINFILE.INI file located in your Windows directory and
remove the line from the [AddOns] section that refers to
LOADIT.DLL. It should look something like this:
[AddOns]
Load it=C:\ITUTIL\loadit.dll
2. Delete the files located in the directory in which you
installed the It Utilities. By default it is c:\itutil. Note
that you should close any It Utilities still running before
doing this. You MUST have done step one, closed and restarted
the File manager to erase the file LOADIT.DLL. If not, the File
manager will report it in use and refuse to delete it.
3. Delete the file ITUTIL.INI located in your Windows directory.
You may wish to keep this file if you intend to install It
Utilities again so that your settings are preserved.
4. Delete the file BWCC.DLL in your Windows system directory. But
ONLY if you are sure that no other software you have installed
uses it. This file is a sharable dynamic link library
containing the 3D look of the dialog boxes of the It Utilities.
It was developed by Borland and may be used also by some of
their products or products developed using their compilers. You
can easily tell by the look of the dialog boxes.
BENEFITS OF REGISTERING
If you decide to register you will get these benefits:
1. Sound support for 16 bits audio cards.
2. The "Unregistered" message under each utility will be replaced
by a file counter that tells you how many files are kept or
shown by each utility.
3. A manual.
4. Notifications of and special price for upgrades.
5. Support for lower resolution than VGA. You can run this
shareware version on EGA or less but it will not look it's
best.
6. As a bonus you will also receive replacement sound files for
the four standard sounds of Windows. They are similar but of
much better quality. They will also be in 8 and 16 bits
formats.

HISTORY
1.3 01/93 Fixed bug in Trash It and Zip It where they could
crash if the Show trashing or Show sending where
disabled.
Added the escape key to cancel both the Trashing and
the Sending dialogs.
Fixed problem with install that did not always copy
BWCC.DLL.
1.2 01/93 Changed the way files are selected in list boxes.
Now you can use shift with a click of the mouse to
select a range. Ctrl with a click of the mouse will
select/deselect an item. You can also select a range
by dragging the mouse with the left button down.
Fixed more problems with the keyboard handler of the
find dialog. Added hourglass cursor while searching.
1.1 12/92 Fixed problems with Find dialog in viewer. Now you
can't call up more than one Find dialog. Choosing
Find from the menu simply gives the focus to the
existing Find dialog. Also the keyboard handler of
the Find dialog would get disabled when switching
to another window and comming back. This is also
fixed.
Fixed problem in the viewer when a file was not
ended with a carriage return, the last line would
not always be visible when using the key 'End' to get
to the end of file.
Fixed problem in the viewer when the next command was
used and the next file was minimized it would not open.
