--- 1.  What is ExoDel? ---

ExoDel was created by Justin Streufert.

	ExoDel is a program that deletes files so they can never be
recovered, including by ms-dos UNDELETE and other programs.  The
normal Windows 95 and DOS delete commands (and throwing files into
the recycle bin) leaves your important files around for intruders
to take easily.  ExoDel fixes all that by virtually "incinerating"
files, thouroughly removing them from your drive.

	See the program's ONLINE HELP for more information! (Click the
<?> button on the toolbar)

--- 2.  Installing ---

To install ExoDel, PKUNZIP all the files into a temporary directory.
Run SETUP.EXE; the rest is self-explanitory.  ExoDel will end up on
your Program Files menu (not in any program folder).

If you are using a recent version of Nico Mak Computing's WinZip or a
similar program, you can just open the ZIP file and click the INSTALL 
button.

--- 3.  Registering ---

Registering the software is only US$9, and you can do it with a check
by mail.  (It is illegal to use this software for more than 30 days
without registering, by the way).

Benefits of registering:
- Be able to delete as many files at a time as you want
- Drag-and-drop and "Send To" ExoDel for quick access (see Hints)
- Remove annoying delay and having to click buttons at startup
- Get rid of all UNREGISTERED messages
- Relieve your conscience
- Save the programmers from starvation
- Uphold the shareware concept
- IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE THE PROGRAM FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS WITHOUT
  REGISTERING IT.  So there.

How can I register?  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just open the program and click Register.  Choose
the option to make a registration form, and press ">> Next >>" .. Fill
out the form and click ">> Next >>" again.  Print out the text file
that appears in Notepad, and send it in with a check for $9 made out to
Justin Streufert.  (the address is on the order form) ..

You will recieve (by email, or postal mail if you have no email 
address) your unique registration code.  It is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY!  It
is illegal to give it (or the registered software) to others.  Choose
Register again, and choose the option that you already have your code.
Enter your code in the text box, and click ">> Next >>" ... that's it.
Thanks!

YOU CAN ALSO REGISTER BY CREDIT CARD ON THE WWW!:
Open ExoDel and click Register.  Read the instructions at the bottom
of the screen!

--- 4.  Helpful Hints ---

These only work when you are registered!

* To speed up deletion, add a shortcut to ExoDel on the desktop.  Then
you can drag a file to it to delete it.

* Even better, put a shortcut in the \windows\SendTo directory!  Then
you can right-click on a file, go to Send To, and click ExoDel, to
delete from anywhere in the shell.
