HABFiles may not be included in any commercial package or in any Cover disk without the authors explicit permission. Otherwise, you may copy HABFiles and distribute HABFiles freely provided:
- that the distribution package is copied complete.
(that is all files are included and no changes are made to any files that form part of the package)- that no charge be made for the media containing HABFiles that is more than the reasonable retail cost of the blank media.

You should make a copy of any important data and use HABFiles on the copy.
Readme.txt - this file
Install.exe - an installation utility
Install.dat - data for install.exe
_files.zip - a compressed file in PKZip/Winzip format containing:habfiles.exe (the program file)
habfiles.hlp (the Help file)
and quotcom.txt a sample file to practice with.
The Install.exe utility in this package makes installation very easy. All you have to do is to run Install and either accept the suggested folder or enter a different folder name. The files will be copied to the correct locations.
If you have received this package as a "ZIP" file, you will probably already have "unzipped" the installation files or be reading this file in "Winzip" or a similar utility. If you are using Winzip, simply click on the Winzip Install button and the installation utility will start.
If you have received the package on disk or have already unzipped the files, locate the folder (directory) which holds the files and run Install.
You can run Install as follows
- Click on the Start button, select "Run" and enter the command-line [your folder name]"\install" eg "C:\temp\install" or "A:\install" and click on [OK].
- The install utility will prompt you for the name of a folder to hold the HABFiles files.
Use the path suggested unless you have a good reason not to (eg. you are already using a folder named C:\habfiles))
You will have the option of installing Start-Menu shortcuts for the files.
When you click on the [OK] button, the files will be installed to the folder you have chosen.
- Create a folder for your HABFiles files. (C:\habfiles is suggested)
- Find the folder containing the extracted files and copy _files.zip and Readme.txt to your HABFiles folder.
- Change folders to your HABFiles folder and use an unzip utility to extract the files.
eg. if you are using the pkunzip utility, you would use the command "pkunzip _files.zip".- Create Start-Menu or Desktop shortcuts in the normal manner.
- Delete the HABFiles folder and all its contents
- If you installed shortcuts:-
Delete any HABFilesshortcuts in the Start-Menu or on the Desktop.
