The first time you run the program you should pick Options from the File menu to specify the location of your offline file listing. You can make a listing of your offline files (files not on your hard drive, on CD, floppies etc.) with the list maker utility available at www.novatone.net in the software pages.

If you don't have any offline files that you want to include in your searches you don't have to enter any information in the Options screen.

The Update Archive Name & Update Server are used to specify the location and name of a web site that you can check for updated versions of the offline listing file. (If you are using somebody else's file listing as your offline listing.

If you are creating the offline list file yourself with List Maker leave these fields blank.

The Nickname and First Run Date are for future use and can be ignored for now.

You can include one or more folders of files on your hard drive as locations that should be indexed and included in the searches.

Use Add/Edit locations on the File menu to specify the locations of the files on your hard drive that you want to include in your searches.
