This may well be the greatest collection of software ever compiled.
The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM is our premier collection of the entire
PC-SIG library. Every shareware program we have is on one disc; over
700 megabytes of software you can have immediate access to.
Easy to use, all you have to do is insert the disc and type 'GO' at the
DOS prompt. We've included all the tools you need for fast easy access
to the programs and their descriptions.
The WordCruncher text retrieval software allows you to quickly access
the description for any program you want. All the programs are indexed
by title, filename, PC-SIG disk number, and every word within the
program description. There couldn't be an easier way to find just the
right program.
The Narc utility, newly instituted with the tenth edition, allows you to
look directly at all the compressed program files on the CD without
having to download the program to your hard disk. So if you want to
look at the programmer's notes or on-line documentation before using
valuable hard disk space, you can.
The PC-SIG Encyclopedia of Shareware is included on the disk, and a
printed copy of the book is included so you can peruse the available
programs from the comfort of your favorite chair. All the programs are
logically divided into one-hundred twenty categories making it easier to
find just the right software.
Whether you're interested in Accounting or Windows, there's a shareware
program for you on the PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM.

FILE2947.TXT
Disk No: 2947
Disk Title: WinEZ
PC-SIG Version: S1.0
Program Title: WinEZ
Author Version: 2.0
Author Registration: $29.95
Special Requirements: Microsoft Windows 3.0.
The Program Manager in Windows is, well clumsy. It does not manage
system resources properly, has a poorly integrated task manager and the
"File, Run" command takes the user back to DOS 2.0.
WINEZ is one program that attempts to fix some of the defciencies of
Program and Task Manager. It installs itself as a couple of icons in
the Title bar of each Window. One icon is the new task manager and the
other can double up as an application menu or a direct path to Program
Manager.
The Task Manager icon does what it says - manages tasks and manages them
well. All loaded and running applications in Windows are available from
the menu of this icon and can be selected with a single mouse stroke.
This icon menu also includes a run command with full path selection and
a menu of previously issued commands.
The other icon can be configured as either a power menu or a path to the
Program Manager. It really shines when configured as the former. This
power menu lists all the groups in Program manager and any application
defined in those groups is accessible from here. This may not sound as
good as it really is. That is Program Manager has a bad habit of not
releasing all the system resources it uses when a group is opened in
Windows whereas WINEZ doesn't open a group so no system resources are
wasted in that. If system resources are a shortage, then WinEZ may
provide a very good solution. When configured as a path to the PM,
WINEZ simply pulls up the Program Manager on any application currently
on screen with one simple click.
WINEZ is a very powerful piece of Windows shareware that will work
wonders on any windows workstation. Installation is a snap and
documentation very comprehensive. A must have Windows utility.

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.
Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors. With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.
For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members. Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category. Our library of
shareware contains over 2700 titles divided into 120 logical categories.
Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect. As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.
PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.
Quality and support - guaranteed. All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free. We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.
Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.
Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.
If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.

distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.
Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement. The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.
Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.
Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.
Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.
And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.
Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore. In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
opportunities for discount purchases from PC-SIG.

New Generation Software (NGS)
Presents...
W i n E Z 2.1
A Windows 3.0 utility that provides a fast and easy way to:
o Switch to any other active applications directly from the one
you are using.
o Switch directly to the Windows' Program Manager or any other
add-in shell you may be using.
o Start any Program Manager application from within the
application you are using.
o Start any application with WinEZ's enhanced version of the
Program Manager's Run facility.
OVERVIEW
--------
Have you ever found yourself opening up too many Windows applications,
only to find that you get lost searching for that one application you
need? Or have you ever found yourself wanting to quickly start an
application from within the application you are using? Well, New
Generation Software has the solution for you! WinEZ provides one of
the easiest ways to switch between and start applications under Windows.
Once WinEZ is installed and running, it places two new icons on the
title bar of the active application. The left icon or "Fast Path Icon"
allows you to quickly start any application in the Windows' Program
Manager, or be configured to jump directly to the Program Manager (or
any add-in Windows' shell you define). The right icon or "Task Switch
Icon" provides you with a list of all active applications. Similar to
the Windows' Task List, WinEZ goes one step better and provides task
switching without having to use the CTL-ESC or click on the background.
WinEZ also provides an enhanced Run facility that offers you an
easy way to navigate through directories and start applications. It
remembers your last 5 programs executed and the last directory path too.
VERSION 2 ENHANCEMENTS
----------------------
1. The Fast Path icon (left) can now be tied to:
(a) directly jump to Any add-in Windows Shell (not just Program Mgr)
(b) display a pull down "Power Menu" consisting of your Program
Manager groups. Each group then further expands into the
applications under it. This option is the new WinEZ default.
2. We have further enhanced the "Run dialog" program to include
remembering the last 5 commands entered and the last directory path.
3. We have made registration simple and easy. Order by phone using
a credit card and within minutes you will be up and going.
4. New "more polished looking" icons. Plus, the ability to position
the WinEZ icons anywhere on the title bar (version 2.1 enhancements).

FEATURES
--------
WinEZ provides you with one of fastest ways to switch between and
start applications under Windows.
The "Task Switch Icon" (right icon):
■ Switch to any active application directly from your current
window.
There is no need to hunt down that one particular window. From
your current application, WinEZ's Task Switch Icon will
display a menu of all your active applications.
If an application is minimized when you request to switch to it,
WinEZ will restore the application from an icon to a window.
Later, when you switch to another application, using WinEZ, it
will return the application back to the minimized state. WinEZ
may be configured to always minimize applications when switching
to others (See "Setting WinEZ's Options").
■ Start a new application from WinEZ's Run dialog.
WinEZ's enhanced Run facility allows you to start new
applications (DOS or Windows) without having to start the
Windows' File Manager. This dialog allows you to select a file
(program or batch file) to be executed in a manner similar to an
open file dialog. Filters are available to display only certain
types of file extensions (EXE, COM, BAT, PIF) for easy pickings.
You may even enter the name of the program directly.
Best of all, WinEZ's Run facility even remembers the programs
that you ran. Just drop down the list box (ComboBox) and select
the file from its list.
Page 2
The "Fast Path Icon" (left icon):
■ Start an application defined in Windows' Program Manager Groups
using WinEZ's Fast Path Icon.
With WinEZ's Power Menu, you can start any application that
you've defined in the groups of the Program Manager. WinEZ's
Fast Path Icon can be configured for either the Power Menu or
the ability to jump directly to an application when selected.
The Power Menu is a drop down menu with a list of all the group
items of the Program Manager. Each group item has a submenu
that contains all of the applications in that group. So instead
of leaving your current application to activate the Program
Manager, just bring up the Power Menu and "viola!", your group
applications are just a click away.
■ Switch directly to the Program Manager or any add-in Windows shell.
WinEZ's Fast Path Icon also can be configured to allow you to
jump directly to any active application that you define. By
default, WinEZ will jump directly to the Program Manager. When
you click on this icon, WinEZ will bring this application to the
top for you to use (See "Setting WinEZ's Options").
GETTING STARTED
---------------
INSTALLING AND STARTING
-----------------------
WinEZ is easy to install. First, you will need to unzip the
WINEZ.ZIP file into a subdirectory (i.e. C:\WINDOWS). You will
need an unzipping utility, like PKUNZIP, to do this.
Once unzipped, you have two choices to get WinEZ up and running.
1. To allow WinEZ to run automatically every time you start
Windows, you will need to modify the WIN.INI file found in the
Windows subdirectory. By editing the line containing the LOAD
keyword, append the program name WINEZ.EXE.
For example: LOAD=C:\WINDOWS\WINEZ.EXE
The next time you start Windows, WinEZ will be started for you
automatically.
2. If you wish to start WinEZ manually, it would be best to install
WinEZ into a group menu of the Program Manager. Choose 'New'
off the 'File' Menu of the Program Manager (Refer to the
Windows' documentation on how to install programs within a Group
of the Program Manager).

USING WINEZ
-----------
WHAT YOU SEE...
---------------
Once WinEZ is up and running, you will notice two new icons that
have attached themselves next to the system menu icon on the title
bar of the active window. With WinEZ running, most windows that
become the active application will contain these icons.
The left icon represents the Fast Path Icon that can be configured
to bring up the Power Menu or to switch directly to the Program
Manager (or any Windows add-in shell application). By default, the
Fast Path Icon displays the Power Menu that allows you to quickly
start any application defined in the Windows' Program Manager. See
"Setting WinEZ's Options" for more details on configuring the Fast
Path Icon.
The right icon represents the Task Switch Icon which presents
you with a menu of all the active applications currently
running. This will allow you to jump directly to another
application without hunting for it, using the Task Manager, or
having to type any keyboard sequences.
USING THE FAST PATH ICON
------------------------
By default, the Fast Path Icon is configured for the Power Menu.
This icon can be used to start applications defined in the Windows'
Program Manager. To select an item, press and hold the mouse
button 1 over the icon until the menu appears. Drag the pointer
over the group item in the menu, a submenu will appear, displaying
the applications within that group. Drag the mouse pointer over
the application item then release it. The application will be
executed.
If the Fast Path Icon is configured to jump to an active
application (i.e. Program Manager), then just click on it with the
mouse and immediately the application defined will be activated.
(i.e. the Program Manager in this case). To change the Fast Path
application, you will need to select the Options... item from
within the Active Applications Icon. There you will be able to
specify the name of any application that is active. This icon should
be used only for applications that are running. If the application
is not running, clicking on this icon will sound a beep.
Page 5
USING THE TASK SWITCH ICON
--------------------------
As stated previously, the Task Switch icon allows you to quickly
switch between applications. When you're ready to switch to
another active application, position the pointer over the Task
Switch Icon (that's the right icon in the title bar). Click and
hold mouse button 1. You are presented with a menu of your active
applications (assuming you are running more than one application)
and WinEZ's other features. Drag the pointer over the application
that you want to activate and release the button. The application
you selected will now be the active one.
The Task Switch Icon also presents you with the other
facilities of WinEZ. Along with the active applications, other
items in the menu are:
Run... This item is the enhanced Run facility that brings up a
dialog box allowing you to enter an application to
execute or select an application from a list box.
Options... This item displays a dialog box that allows you to
configure WinEZ. This includes the action performed by
the Fast Path Icon and the behavior of the windows when
switching between applications (See "Setting WinEZ's
Options" section for more details).
About... This item brings up WinEZ's About Box dialog.
Exit This item will end WinEZ and remove it from memory.
Note: This item will be unavailable (grayed out) on non
standard windows (i.e. dialog boxes).
Page 6
The Run Dialog Utility
----------------------
When selected from the Active Applications Menu ("Run..."), a
dialog box will appear that will allow you to enter the name of
a program to be started. The full path name is required if the
file is not in the current directory displayed.
Included in this dialog is a listbox that contains files found
in the current directory. This dialog is similar to an Open
File dialog usually found in many Windows applications. You
change directories or drives by selecting the appropriate items
in the directories listbox.
A filter is available to allow certain filetypes to be included
in the listbox. Current filters include: EXE, COM, PIF, BAT,
and all files. These can be used to quickly locate the file
that needs to be executed.
An additional feature of the Run dialog is its ability to keep
a list of the last five programs that have been started through
this facility. To recall the name of a previous entry, push
the button to the right of the entry field to drop down the
listbox containing the last programs executed. Select the
program name you want and then select the Run button.
Page 7
SETTING WINEZ'S OPTIONS
-----------------------
WinEZ may be configured by selecting the Options... item from the
menu under the Active Applications Icon. This is where the
switching behavior can be set and the Fast Path Icon actions can be
configured.
Switching Behavior
------------------
When using WinEZ to switch between applications, WinEZ attempts
to return the application back to its minimized state, if it
was found that way before switching to it. WinEZ also can be
configured to always minimize applications when switching to
other applications. Choose the switching behavior by selecting
the appropriate radio button corresponding to the preferred
option.
■ Default Switching
WinEZ will minimize the application before switching to
another, only if it was minimized when WinEZ switched to
it.
■ Always Minimize on Switch
WinEZ will always minimize the application before
switching to another
Note: WinEZ will only minimize windows that support
being minimized.
Fast Path Icon Action
---------------------
The Fast Path Icon can be configured to perform one of two
functions. Using this icon can jump you directly to a
specified application that is running or bring up WinEZ's Power
Menu. The two options are available for your selection.
Choose the Fast Path function by selecting the appropriate
radio button corresponding to the preferred option.
■ Power Menu
If this option is chosen, then the Power Menu will be
displayed when you click on the Fast Path Icon (See
"Starting Other Applications" on how to use the Power
Menu).
■ Title of Window
If this option is chosen, then the application specified
in the entry field will be activated when the Fast Path
Icon is pressed. To specify the application you wish to
switch to, enter the text found in the title bar of that
application. The default is the Program Manager.
Page 8
WinEZ Icon Position
-------------------
The WinEZ icons can be positioned anywhere on the title bar.
■ Left
- will left justify the WinEZ icons
■ Right
- will right justify the WinEZ icons
■ Number of pels from left
- will place the WinEZ icons the specified amount of
pels from the left side of the title bar
GENERAL WINEZ NOTES
-------------------
■ Menus may not be created under low memory conditions.
■ WinEZ creates two files during execution. These files will be
placed in your Windows subdirectory.
WINEZ.INI File created by WinEZ to save its option
settings.
WINEZ.DAT File created by WinEZ that contains data from the
Program Manager for the Power Menu. This file
should not be edited.
■ To make the dragging of the mouse more responsive when using the
Power Menu, add the following lines to the WIN.INI file (under the
[Windows] heading) found in your Windows subdirectory:
MenuShowDelay=0
MenuHideDelay=0
■ WinEZ return codes from the Run dialog box or Power Menu:
RC MEANING
-- -------
0 Out of memory
2 File not found
3 Path not found
11 Invalid .EXE file
14 Unknown .EXE type
■ If you are having problems executing version 2. Delete the files
WINEZ.DAT and WINEZ.INI from your Windows subdirectory (remember to
first write down your registration number if you are a registered
user), then re-start WinEZ.

and received written permission to distribute WinEZ will receive
new MAJOR releases as they are issued.
5. All disk vendors must comply with any and all vendor guidelines
vendor requirements set forth by the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP); for more information about ASP, contact
its chairman, Jim Button, at Buttonware in Seattle. Violation
of any ASP guideline or requirement automatically revokes
permission to distribute WinEZ.
Until formal requirements are adopted by the ASP, you must comply
with the following guidelines: Vendors must make an attempt to
educate users on the nature of Shareware. Catalogs,
advertisements, order forms, and all disks sold should contain
ASP-approved or recommended wording describing the nature of
shareware, and should explicitly state that no part of disk sale
revenues are paid to the programs' authors. When vendor catalogs
or advertisements carry both Shareware and PD programs, the
Shareware programs must be differentiated from the public domain
programs in some way (in the description, with an asterisk, by
listing the registration fee, etc.).

NOTE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE DEALERS:
In order that We can verify that you are a legitimate shareware vendor,
We request that you include a copy of your product catalog with this
application, along with a blank diskette and mailer. Once you have
been approved, you will receive written permission from NGS to
include WinEZ in your library for distribution. Additionally, you
will receive your diskette back containing the latest WinEZ release.
We are also requesting that you send us revisions of your catalog as they
are published. The main reason behind this is that a mailing list of
active vendors will be maintained. Our continued receipt of your
catalog will both enable us to verify that you have the most recent
WinEZ release (within reason), as well as know that your business is
still active.
When major revisions are made to the program, We will send you the
latest upgrade such that your library is kept up to date.
