About SOCKShell
---------------

The Windows Explorer's File menu and context menu (the menu displayed when you right click on an item in the Explorer window) display the options that operate on the selected object. These operations include the standard Cut, Copy, Delete and Rename operations if they are appropriate, and will often include other operations which are specific to the type of object that was clicked on.

SOCKShell expands and enhances the Windows Explorer context menu by adding a number of new predefined options and allowing you to add any number of your own options, both to the main context menu and to the SOCKShell submenu.

The predefined options include:

   Analyse Pascal source code		Report on the number of lines, classes, functions, procedures etc.
   Create new folder			Create a new folder in the same folder as the selected file
   Explore in a new window		Open a new copy of Windows Explorer in the selected folder
   Copy the full path			Copy the full path of the selected item(s) to the Windows Clipboard
   Edit with Wordpad			Edit the selected file with Windows Wordpad
   Edit with Notepad			Edit the selected file with Windows Notepad
   Open a Command Prompt		Open a Windows Command prompt in the selected folder
   Set file attributes			Set the attributes of the selected file(s) and folder(s)
   Set file date and time		Set the date and time of the selected file(s) and folder(s)

To install SOCKShell, simply UNZIP the SOCKSHELLnn.ZIP file to a temporary folder and then run SETUP.EXE.
