File Sweeper is a utility designed to delete unnecessary files
created by compilers and other build tools.  It was designed with
Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) users as it's intended audience but other
compiler users will no doubt find it useful.

Sample Use:

	Say you are working on five or six MSVC projects on your
	computer (each of which takes up 5-10 MB of hard disk)
	and you want to clean things up since you're running low
	on disk space.  Just go to the "Tools" menu in MSVC and
	click "Sweeper".  This will bring up a small program which
	displays a list of files generated during a build of a
	program in MSVC (such as .obj, .map, .sbr, etc...).  You click
	the "Delete All" toolbar icon, and all the files in the list
	are automatically deleted.  Your .cpp, .h, and .mak files
	(and any others not in the list) are left so that you can
	re-build the project at a later time.

Installation:

	1) Start Windows if it is not already running.
	2) Start Microsoft Visual C++.  Remove any existing
	   installation of File Sweeper from the Tools menu.
	   Use Options->Tools to do this.
	3) Exit Microsoft Visual C++ (it interferes with
	   automatic installation).
	4) Copy all the files from the Release Diskette into
	   a new directory on your hard drive.
	5) Run "sweeper.exe".  This will automatically install
	   File Sweeper in the Tools menu of Microsoft Visual C++.
	6) Exit File Sweeper.
	7) Run Microsoft Visual C++.
