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:HABPad.exe
HABPad.hlp
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
- In Windows 9x or Windows XP, 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 HABPad files.
Use the path suggested unless you have a good reason not to (eg. you are already using a folder named C:\HABPad)
You will have the option of installing icons/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 HABPad files. (C:\HABPad is suggested)
- Find the folder containing the extracted files and copy _files.zip and Readme.txt to your HABPad folder.
- Change folders to your HABPad 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 Desktop or Start Menu shortcuts in the normal manner.
- Delete the files HABPad.exe and HABPad.hlp. If you created a folder for HABPad and it no longer contains files then delete it also.
- If you installed shortcuts:-
Delete any HABPad shortcuts on the desktop and in the Start Menu.
NB HABPad is a version of the HABEdit file viewer/editor. After the Hex-edit feature was added to HABEdit at the end of Febuary 2000, I decided to produce a version for situations where a Hex-editor would be too dangerous a tool.
HABPad contains all the features of HABEdit excepting for the HEX-editing.
