Pakker Version 0.9 - Shareware Version
--------------------------------------

This file describes the features you can expect to find in the full version of
Pakker, as well as the limitations of the shareware version.


Firstly, there is the nag screen. That annoying screen that appears at the start
of the program. It appears EVERY time you run the shareware version. It DOES NOT
appear in the full version.

The Comparison
--------------
New File
    Both versions will allow you to create a new PAK file. Simply select the
    File|New option (or press the "New" toolbar button). A new file will be
    automatically created.

Save File
    You can (of course) save the PAK file when you make changes. If you exit
    without saving your changes, you will be prompted to ask if you want to
    save the changes.

Save File As
    The full version includes the ability to save a PAK file under a different
    name. A minor thing I know, but it saves time having to go to the Windows
    shell, and copy the file yourself. This is NOT available in the shareware
    version.

Undo Changes
    The full version allows you to the changes you make to a file since the
    last save. There are unlimited undo levels, though you can restrict the
    number of undos, or turn them off completely, if you are running short of
    memory. This is NOT available in the shareware version.

Multiple File Select
    The full version allows you to select multiple files from the Pak file to
    perform actions on. The shareware version only allows you to select one at
    a time.

Adding Files
    The full version allows you to add multiple files and/or directories from
    different directories. The shareware version will only allow you to add one
    file or one directory at a time. The full version will also allow you to
    recurse sub-directories, the shareware will only load files from the specified
    directory.

Extracting Files
    The full version allows you to extract multiple files from the Pak file,
    while the shareware version will only allow one at a time.

Deleting Files
    The full version allows you to delete multiple files from the Pak file. The
    shareware version will allow you to delete one file at a time.

Renaming Files
    The full version allows you to rename a file in the PAK. Simply click on the
    file name until the inplace edit appears, then type in the new name. Once
    again, this feature is NOT available in the shareware version.

Moving Files
    The full version allows you to move files from one directory to another within
    the Pak file. The shareware version does NOT allow file moving at all.

Sorting
    The full version allows you to sort the directory list by name, type (extension),
    size, position in Pak file, and directory. The shareware version does not.

Protecting the ID1 Pak Files
    There is an option to protect the Pak files in the ID1 directory. This is, by
    default enabled each time you run Pakker. In the full version, you can turn this
    option OFF - thereby allowing you to edit the ID1 Pak files, but in the shareware
    version you can't turn it off, so you can't edit the ID1 Pak files.

Help Files
    The full version of Pakker has a complete set of help files. The shareware version
    does not.
