Application:	BCB Cleanup
Author:		Iain M Grant
Version:		1.1

Introduction
------------

This is V1.1 of a project cleanup program for Borland C++ Builder. It has been tested fairly thoroughly on a number of systems, with no problems. However, I will not be held responsible for any damage which this program may cause to your system.

Due to the nature of the program, (i.e. it deletes files, without going via the trashcan),
it is entirely up to you whether you use it or not. Again, I will not be held responsible in
the unlikely event that something goes wrong.

As an example, this program deleted about 4Mb worth of its own project files that were no longer
needed. These files include the *.il? files, (created and used by the linker), and the *.tds
files, which contain debug information.


Usage
-----

This program can be used by itself, or installed into BCB's 'Tools' menu. For details, see
'Installation', below.

The drive and directory you want to search is displayed on the left. Use the gadgets next to
it to select the file types to search for. All of these files can (usually) be safely deleted,
as they will be rebuilt the next time you compile the project. However, I would recommend
caution with the *.obj filetype. There may be an object file in the directory which you do
not have the source for, and without which your project will not compile. If in doubt, check
first.

If any relevant files are found, hit the delete button, and they will be deleted.

As an option, all subdirectories from the current directory can be examined as well. This
can be useful for cleaning out the entire tree from your main project folder.



Installation
------------

There are 2 options for installation:

 1) Have the cleanup program run as normal.
 2) Have the cleanup program clean the current project.

Installation is simple. Copy the file 'Cleanup.exe' to wherever you want. In BCB, select
'Tools->Configure Tools'. Select 'Add' and then 'Browse'. Locate the file in the directory
you copied it to, and choose 'Open'. Add a name in the 'Title' box, and click OK. All done. :)

To have the program clean the current project, add this into the 'Parameters' box in the tool
configuration dialog:

	$PATH($EDNAME)



Registration
------------

Registration is free. All I ask is that you send an EMail to:
	
	register@samurai-software.demon.co.uk

including your name company name, and the program ID code which is displayed when you select About->Register.

In return, I will send you a registration code, and you will be sent any future updates if
and when they appear. :)

If you don't register, you will be able to use all features of the program, but you will not
be able to delete any files. The registered version WILL allow file deletion.

Comments are also welcome. Whether you love, hate or loathe the thing, I want to know about
it. Suggestions would be appreciated.


Known Bugs
----------

There is only one bug currently known. The main display appears fine when Windows is using small fonts, but large fonts will cause some gadgets to overlap others. Although the display is slightly obscured, the program's functionality remains the same.
