------------------------------What is MaxLister?----------------------------------

MaxLister lists the entire contents of a drive or a
directory into a single file. This is especially
useful if you have a large collection of CD-ROMs
to keep track of. You can at a later time browse
the file (in Explorer-like interface), search for
specific filenames or folders. You can import
entries from another file if you happened to
store them separately. MaxLister can also save 
the drive image into a plain text file, if you
want to view the drive/dir with any text editor.

------------------------------About the methods-----------------------------------

You can choose from several text formatting methods
when you list your drive or directory.

-MXL Database File:	Use this as a database for storing and viewing
			files later. View the file in an Explorer-like
			interface. You can search a file for a specific
			filename or folder, batch search a multiple
			of files or import another .MXL file into it.

-Collapsed (text):	Plain text. Lists the files in a fully
			collapsed Explorer-like listview.

-Folders only (text):	Plain text. Simply writes down all the
			catalog names (and sizes) without filenames.

-Folders & Files (text):Plain Text. Lists the folders and filenames
			in a simple and easily read way.
