 WHAT'S NEW: EXPANDED the option to view contents of ZIP files; it now 
             allows the user to NAVIGATE ZIP files and VIEW INDIVIDUAL
             Files within the ZIP file ( requires PKUNZIP.EXE file be in
             a directory in your path ).  Corrected minor bugs in main
             menu; fixed Double-Click on A-Z menu option and hi-lighting
             of A-Z menu option.  Changed RIGHT mouse button function from
             file TAGGING to ESC function (to be consistent with all menus).
 
 
  Ver 2.2 -> Added mouse DOUBLE-CLICK selection of directories and files
             for those of you who don't have a three buttom mouse.  Added
             an option to view the contents of ZIP files.  Corrected an
             error when TAG(view) tries to open a temporary file created
             by DOS ( Attributes of these files now set to '????' ) and
             corrected an error with the RENAME and PRINT options ( the
             program worked OK for the 1st screen of files, but incorrectly
             identified the file selected on subsequent screens ).  
          
  Ver 2.1 -> Corrected mouse selection error from the file selection help
             menu, increased # files/directory to 999, and added user prompt 
             on relogging a CD-ROM drive when a log file for it already 
             exists ( since they can take a long to log ).  Also improved
             mouse pan viewing of files. 
              
  Ver 2.0 -> LOTS OF NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVED MENUS !
    
             Hopefully added important options to the menus where they
             can be easily selected.  New FIND file(s) option, show HIDDEN
             files TOGGLE, EDIT highlighted files ( with DOS EDIT command,
             requires DOS 5.0 and up ), select Drive(s) from menu, search
             for Previous finds in file edit, show Attributes of files,
             option to pan files with mouse movement, and more. 
 
 Note:  TAG(view) has NOT been tested on DOS versions earlier than 3.3.
        It will NOT run with DOS 2.1.  It runs best on a 386 or higher
        machine, runs slow on a 286 (AT), and has not been tested on an XT.   
 
                 
 Other NOTES:  TAG(view) NOW requires ( Versions 1.3 & up ):
            
               1)  Its OWN 'TAGVIEW' directory to store the drive
                   directory and temporary files in. 

               2)  An ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE 'TAGDRIVE' to tell
                   TAG(view) which Drive its 'TAGVIEW' directory
                   is located on.

             14) Search for file(s) on current drive ( DOS 5.0 & higher
                 users can include wildcards ).  HINT: For earlier DOS 
                 versions, enter a partial filename ( such as .txt ).

    B. DISTRIBUTION FILES                                          
                                                                        
       1) INSTALL.EXE  .  TAG(view) Installation FILE !           
       2) TAG.EXE . . . . . .TAG(view) EXECUTION FILE <- Run this File !          
       3) README   . . . . . . . . . . . YOU ARE HERE !           
       4) REGISTER.NOW . . . . . .  REGISTRATION File !          
 
   C. TO INSTALL TAG(view)
       
       1) RUN the Installation program:
          Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt and follow the instructions.
          
          ( To reinstall TAG(view), FIRST delete the \TAGVIEW directory. )
       
    
       2) OR TO MANUALLY INSTALL TAG(view):
       
          a) COPY the TAG.EXE file to a directory that is in your PATH
             ( e.g. C:\DOS, C:\UTIL, etc ).   
           
             Example: 'COPY TAG.EXE C:\DOS'
                      [ Do NOT include the single quote marks 's ]
       
        NOTE:  To be able to start TAG(view) from any Drive or
               Directory by typing TAG, the program file TAG.EXE has 
               to be located in a directory that in IN YOUR PATH. 
              
        ALSO:  TAG(view) calls DOS files CHKDSK.EXE, FIND.EXE and SORT.EXE.
               They MUST ALSO be in a directory that is in your PATH.  They
               are normally in the \DOS directory on the drive that the 
               computer is Booted from ( e.g. C:\DOS ).
                 
          b) Change to the drive where you want to store TAG(view)'s work
             files and create a directory named 'TAGVIEW'.
             THIS IS NOW REQUIRED as TAG(view) stores its drive directory
             and temporary files here.
             
                 example:  C:
                           CD\
                           MD TAGVIEW
          
             THEN copy the README and REGISTER.NOW files to this directory:
             
                example:  COPY README C:\TAGVIEW
                          COPY REGISTER.NOW C:\TAGVIEW
                
          c) ADD the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set the
             DOS environment variable 'TAGDRIVE' to point to the DRIVE
             where the \TAGVIEW directory was created in step 2b.
    
                 example: SET TAGDRIVE=C:
                 
             REPLACE the letter 'C' above with the DRIVE letter where
             you created directory '\TAGVIEW'.    
   
      NOTE:  REBOOT your computer and type TAG at the DOS prompt.

   D. TO RUN TAG(view)
       
        Type TAG to start.
