D&Do v. 1.0 Prev Next Top
When you unzip the package file (ddo1.zip) into a specified directory (the installation directory), it creates a sub-directory under it; it is named DDo. All the files from the package go under that sub-directory; that latter directory is called the home directory. Under its home directory, D&Do expects to have the following files (typewriter style if the item is named exactly) and directories structure:
- dragdo.ini
the user configuration file
- dragdo.jar
the D&Do application
- dragdo.bat
the shell/BAT file used to start D&Do through a metascript file association
- License_xx.txt
the registration key file name; this is where you put your registration key file that you have bought; it should have exactly this above name. xx is the language code; it is either "en" for English or/and "fr" for French.
- LicenseAgreement.txt
and/or LicenceContrat.txt
the license agreement description (in English and/or in French)
- Readme.txt
and/or LisezMoi.txt
the release notices and last-minute information (in English and/or in French)
- Remove.bat
A simple Windows batch utility for removing most files that are located under the home directory, without removing the license files nor the eventual user-created files. If you delete the DDo sub-directory, you risk deleting your license file(s).
- setup.exe
A utility for installing the desktop and menu icons on a Windows system. It also creates an association between files, that have the ".ms" extension, with D&Do.
- WinOnTop.zip
A freeware (authored by Detlev Schaefer) that enables any desktop form (including D&Do) to stay on top.
- ddo1.xml
A program description file that might be used by distributors.

Notes
D&Do expect to find metascripts in subdirectories of D&Do (ideally, under the "script" subdirectory). To find where the related front page documentation should be found, see the sub-section: Help Viewer.
At the end of D&Do sessions, you may erase any file found under the tmp subdirectory.
