Function Summary:

NameRunner is a quick and easy way to rename files to similar but unique
file names.

Description:

NameRunner is designed to make it easy to rename files to similar but unique
filenames.  You can specify text to include before and after the unique numeric
values in the filename and an alternate extension to use, if desired.  You set
the options, then drag & drop files you wish to rename onto the program window.

NameRunner creates a filename that includes an ordinal value (necessary because the
program works faster than the Windows system clock) and optionally date, time and
user specified variables.  You can get an estimate of what a sample filename will
look like by examining the "sample filename" field in the options block.

By including all of the date/time options in the filename, you ensure that each
file has a unique name that will not be duplicated in future sessions.  This is
a useful feature if you are storing unique files in multiple archives that later
may need to be restored to a single place.

Personally I use it to catalog my own original images so that I can be sure I 
won't re-use a particular filename and later overwrite it when I compile them
into larger collections.  I included the option to reduce the size of the names
by eliminating the extra variables for one-time uses that don't need the additional
insurance.

Registering users will receive an updated version of the program reflecting their
status as a registered user (deliverable via E-mail only)  Please include a valid
email address to forward the software to or include a self-addressed stamped mailer
with a blank 3.5" diskette for a hard copy.  Sorry I have to do it this way, but at
$5 a program I can't afford to give everyone mailers, disks and S&H.

This program has NO nag features, and registering the software only gets you the 
latest version customized with your name, but it's the right thing to do.  If you find
this software useful and wish to keep using it you should register it.  I offer the
software without nag features in order to let you properly evaluate it for usefulness, 
I hope you will return the favor by registering.
