SafeFire 1.1 Beta 12

Copyright (C) 1999 - 2002  Link Guard Solutions Ltd.

This is public alpha of the new PM Settings interface
of the SafeFire PPP/Links 1.1

Please note that new INI files are incompatible with old ones.
No migrate utility is provided right now.

Please also note that new interface are not supposed to work
on FAT (or other FS without long file name).
This limitation is permanent, but workaround exists:
1) Install SafeFire on a partition with long file names
2) Rename all files with long file names in feature subdirectory
   (you can use any names)
3) Copy resulting directory structure to partition without
   long file names support.

The documentation in this package is not complete yet.
Detailed description of most features can be found as text files
in doc\readme
