GENERAL NOTES

Program Requirements.
*This program runs on Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, Windows for Workgroups, Win32s,
Windows NT 3.51 (tm), NT 4.0 or Windows 95 (tm).
(all the preceding are trademarks or registered trademarks of the
Microsoft Corporation).
*Approximately 400k disk space

*Please note that this product was developed before the advent of Windows 95 and
it is unaware of long file names. It will run on Windows 95 and NT, but the
results of the unused DLL scan are probably not as accurate as on older versions
of Windows.

*The DLL scanning function attempts to locate DLLs that have no obvious references.
This does not always mean they are absolutely unused.  Try renaming them with a
slightly different extension such as .DLZ, then run through your most frequently
used applications.  We recommend backing up any files you plan to delete.
DO NOT DELETE anything that contains a reference (copyright or other) to a vendor
of software currently installed on your system.  Be very hesistant of deleting
anything that is copyright or produced by Microsoft.  See the help file more for
information.

*Be very careful when stopping processes!  In 16 bit Windows, there is the very
real possibility of locking up Windows.  SystemScanTools will tell you if an
executable module is in use--most of the time.  There are some that have no
registered user and they are left running by another program.  When that program
restarts it may expect to find that DLL still in memory.  Just be sure you
save data before using the stop process button.

*This version of SystemScanTools scans 32 bit PE format files for DLLs, however,
only the imports section of the PE files is currently scanned.  Other references
to DLLs contained in the data area and the string tables have not been implemented
in this version.

*Drag and drop of previously saved scan files is now supported as well as registry of
the ".sst" file extension.  Double clicking on a ".sst" file in File Manager will
launch SystemScanTools.

***ABOVE ALL, BACK UP OR RENAME ANY FILES BEFORE DELETING THEM!***

We welcome any suggestions on improvements/additions for subsequent versions of
SystemScanTools.

                    Again, thank you for your purchase!
               ********************************************
Differences between the retail and shareware versions of SystemScanTools.

The retail version allows:
     1) stopping processes
     2) viewing the "users" of active processes (i.e. Which program is dynamically
linked to a DLL)
     3) A database of DLLs with their associated exe files.
     4) Limitation on total number of scanned files is raised from 3,249 to 32,499
