	      Multiple Associate is a utility designed to work in conjunc-
	tion with any file manager, permitting association of files of a 
	particular extension to an executable file. There are two versions 
	available a MS-DOS version (which has been tested with X-Tree-Gold 
	and MS-DOS Shell) and a Windows version (which has been tested with 
	Windows 3.X and X-Tree for Windows). By Associating Document files 
	to Multiple Assoc. instead of a single Executable file you can now 
	associate a single extension with up to 100 different Programs !  
	This has proven to be an invaluable aid for users, who prefer to 
	use different text editors for different purposes. It also affords 
	users of multiple graphics programs the ability to associate 
	extensions (BMP,PCX,DWG,etc) to all of the programs capable of 
	importing graphics of a given format. 

	      Multiple Assoc. even provides convenient access to your 
	printer by permitting you to associate text files with your DOS 
	print command (C:\DOS\Print.Exe).

	       Installation is simple, you just copy the supplied files 
	into a directory named " C:\MENUMARK " and you are ready to go. 
	Again the Directory MUST be named " C:\MENUMARK " !!
	       There is a batch program provided to perform this task
	for you if you desire [ INSTALL.BAT ]. 
	The Association of a given Extension is done in the customary 
	manner i.e. the Associate command in Windows or DOS-Shell or an 
	appropriately named Batch File in X-Tree for DOS users. You may 
	also specify a default Program to launch a particular document 
	into by leaving one <space> after the name of this program and 
	adding the name of the default program with Drive and Path. This 
	has proven to be an added convenience but is not necessary.

	      Windows users must associate files with the 
	      executable file  [ C:\MenuMark\MANEW.EXE ]

       Windows Example:
	  
	    A S S O C I A T E  
	  
	                          Ŀ                           
	     Files with Extension: TXT                ͻ  
	     Associate with:                        OK     
	    Ŀ   ͹  
	     C:\MenuMark\MANEW.EXE C:\DOS\Edit.Com     Cancel   
	      ͹  
	                                          ͵  Browse..  
	                                          Ĵ  ͹  
	                                               Help

	      Most DOS users must associate files with the 
	      Batch file  [ C:\MenuMark\MM.BAT ]

     DOS-Shell Example:
	   ͻ
	                      Associate Files                   
	   Ķ
	         '.TXT' files are associated with:              
	        Ŀ     
	         Call C:\MenuMark\MM.BAT C:\DOS\Edit.Com      
	             
	                                                        
	                                                        
	        Ŀ       Ŀ      Ŀ     
	           OK           Cancel         Help       
	                          
	   ͼ


   
   
   
   
   
   X-Tree-Gold (DOS) Example:
       Batch File Name: TXT.BAT
	 Would Contain:
		       Ŀ
		         C:                             
		         CD\MenuMark                    
		         Call MM.BAT C:\DOS\Edit.Com %1 
		         CD\                            
		       
	
	     
	     
	     
	     X-TREE-GOLD (DOS) Users will be pleased to find that 
	there is also an Auto-Associate command included in this 
	package. To Install this feature into X-Tree-Gold, At the
	DOS Prompt [ C:\> ] type CD\MenuMark
				 InstallX + Drive and Directory 
				 where X-Tree resides.
	
	Example: CD\MenuMark 
		 C:\MenuMark\InstallX C:\XTGold
	
	Your original Application Menu Data File XTG_Menu.Dat will 
	be saved as XTG_Menu.Bak and two commands will be added to
	your Application Menu:
			       
			 A U T O - A S S O C I A T E
		  (for associating the file your cursor is 
		   presently parked on to Multiple Assoc.)
      
			      Open Current File
	 (for openning the file your cursor is presently parked on)
