1. About Ex

Ex is a very simple program that opens a hierarchical Windows Explorer window
that is expanded to XWIN-NMR's current data directory.

2. Notes

-> Ex is freely available for academic use.

-> There is no warranty for damages caused by using this application.

-> Without permission from the author (Niko Loening), you may
   not distribute the program.

-> For requests, questions, or bug reports, contact the author by e-mail
   at "Niko_Loening@alumni.hmc.edu".

-> You may find the latest version of Ex at the following site:
              http://www-keeler.ch.cam.ac.uk/downloads

-> If you are using Windows 2000, the program will not automatically show
   up as the topmost window when started.  To change this behavior, use the
   Windows registry editor (regedit.exe) to change the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
   Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout registry key from a decimal
   value of 200000 to 0.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Requirements

This program was created for XWIN-NMR 2.5 and 2.6 running under Windows NT 4.0.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Installation

1) Download ex.exe and place it in the XWIN-NMR\prog\au\bin directory.

2) That's it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Usage

1) On the XWIN-NMR commandline (where you type commands such as "ft" and
   "ased") type "ex".  XWIN-NMR is case sensitive, so make sure you use
   lower case letters.

2) A Windows Explorer window should open for the current data set.

3) If you run into problems, please first make sure that you have version 6
   of the Microsoft C libraries installed on your system.  These are
   automatically added to your system when you install Microsoft Visual C++
   Version 6.0.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Known problems

For some reason, the Explorer window will sometimes be brought into focus when
you press certain keys (usually the shift key).  I don't have an explanation
for this; I believe it is caused by a bug with Windows rather than a problem
with XWIN-NMR or Ex.
