Hello and welcome to STELLA

as you probably have noticed the program and its documentation is entirely
in german. I know that this is unsatisfactory and I will do my best to
change the situation as soon as possible.
Unfortunately I do not have time to do so at the moment. Therefor if you
have questions concerning STELLA (no matter if have registered or not)
please do not hesitate to contact me:
tskuenne@linguistik.uni-erlangen.de

WAS IS THIS THING ANYWAY?

Well, it is a - as I call it - document database program. It stores filenames
combined with additional information and - if the format of the file is known to
STELLA - creates small previews (I call them thumbnails) of the file.

If you happen to have graphics files you my have encountered the problem that
you needed a certain file and did not know where you put it.
Using STELLA you can browse through a list of files and search for them.

BASIC SETUP

Usually it should do to simply double-click STELLA.APP. If a simple alert pops
up telling you strange german things then please do the following:

copy magicook.* to your auto folder and mgc4cnf.cpx in your CPX folder and
reboot. magicook.prg does nothing but install a cookie which will be used by
magic.prg (this file will be run by STELLA).
Then you should open the CPX and chose DIVERSES in the popup in the left
upper corner of the CPX. Between 2 scroll buttons you will find a fiel
entitled Pfad des Magic-Kerns
Please click this button an locate magic.prg using the fileselector box.
Save the configuration using the Sichern-Button.
Now you can run stella.app

To create a new database file run STELLA and select 'Neues anlegen' from
the Datei-menu. In the following dialog box please select Datenbank.
You will notice a field called Dateiname. Click here and select a name for
your database file.
If you have a multitasking system installed you can drag files and folders
on a database window. Otherwise please chose Hinzufuegen from the Datenbank
menu.

Of caurse this was a very brief introduction. As I said I am not sure
when I will have time to translate the documentation. So please ask
if you have problems/questions.
