  Simtel Directory Viewer v2.5
  ============================

  **** If you are upgrading from a previous version of SDV, please
  **** see the Distribution Files section below!  PLEASE READ THE
  **** "Distribution Files" SECTION FOR IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION(S).

  o  What is it?

     Simtel Directory Viewer v2.5 (SDV v2.5) is a Windows utility
     to search, browse, and view the file index SIMIBM.IDX generated by
     the SimTel software repository.  This index contains a listing of
     all the files in SimTel's MSDOS repository.


  o  What Do I need to Run it?

     To run the program successfully, you will need Windows v3.1 and
     the dynamic link library VBRUN300.DLL.  VBRUN300.DLL is not
     included in the package since it is relatively big and is
     available from the site where you acquired this utility
     (hopefully).


  o  Installation

     See the help (.hlp) file.


  o  Distribution Files

     The following files are contained in SIMVW25.ZIP.  If you have a previous
     version of SDV you only need to get this set.  Do not get SIMVWDLL.ZIP!

      SIM_VW.EXE        SIMVWDLG.VBX
      SIM_VW.HLP        GT3D.VBX
      STRUCT.DBL        GTLIST.VBX
      SIM_VW.DBL**      GTTBAR.VBX


     The following files are contained in SIMVWDLL.ZIP.  If you have a previous
     version of SDV you don't need this set.  Only get SIMVW25.ZIP!

      COMMDLG.DLL       MSAJT110.DLL
      CTL3D.DLL         VBDB300.DLL
      MSAES110.DLL


     ** This file is created when you first run SDV v2.5.  If you have a previous
        version of SDV, you should have a file of the same name in your SDV directory.
        Please delete that file so SDV v2.5 can create a new copy to ensure full
        compatibility.

     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     NOTE:  SimTel's administrators may or may not have renamed SIMVW20B.ZIP
            to SIMVWDLL.ZIP.  Check for SIMVW20B.ZIP first and if you don't
            find it chances are they've renamed it to SIMVWDLL.ZIP
