 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     RemoveR is Shareware. Please read Register.txt for details

What Is It ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~

RemoveR helps you to prevent unused junk from filling your hard drive.

Why ?
~~~~~

One day I ended up with a 180Mb Windows directory - I didn't know where
the files came from, nor which of them were still used. I decided to
start from scratch, reinstall windows & write a utility to help keep
an eye on these sneaky programs that dump stuff all around my drives.

Tell Me More
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fed up with trying various shareware packages from CDs or the Net and
having them spew files all over your drives ? If you are RemoveR is for
you.

Sadly not all programs come with uninstall utilities (and those that
do often miss files). To get around this I developed RemoveR.

Simply scan the hard drive of your choice before installing a piece of
software, RemoveR will take a snapshot of your files and save it.
You can then install your software, decide its not for you, then rerun
RemoveR to tell you whats been changed on your harddrive. Once the
changes are listed you can chose to delete files, or to save the list
so that you can uninstall the program at a later date.

Main Buttons & What They Do
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drive Selector : This selects what drive RemoveR will scan.

Update Scan Database : This will take a snapshot of the drive selected
 in the drive selection box

Find Changes : This will compare the current status of your files with
 that last stored. All files that have been added/deleted will be shown
 on the results screen. From this screen you can highlight certain
 files & directories and delete them, or save the list for later
 deletion.

Uninstall Using Saved Data File : Takes a previously saved list of
 files (saved from the results screen) and allows you to select some
 or all of them for deletion.

Preferences : Allows you to specify directories that you wish to ignore
 such as C:\TEMP or the MS Explorer cache directory etc ... Also allows
 you to set a preference so that RemoveR will only monitor your
 WINDOWS directory (and all sub-directories beneath). This leads to a
 huge speed gain if this is all you are interested in.

The preferences screen also allows you to change the language RemoveR
operates in.


Other things to know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* (Win3.1x ONLY) RemoveR will ignore files in hidden directories (but
   will find hidden files in non-hidden directories).
  (Win95) RemoveR finds all hidden files.

* If you try to delete a directory from the results screen it will
   produce an alert if the directory is not empty. Often, if you are
   deleting all of the files within the directory, reclicking delete
   will delete it sucessfully.

Windows95/NT(3.51+) users, run RmvR32.exe
Windows3.x users, run RmvR16.exe

(If you have both the 16 Bit and 32 Bit versions of RemoveR then stick
to one version, they each store their database in a different
format - using one to make it and one to read it is ASKING for trouble)

It Doesn't Work !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes it does ! If you have a bug or question please mail me. My email
is dodgy@enterprise.net

It is not a requirement to register before getting support. If it
doesn't work I want to know, money or no money !

What now ?
~~~~~~~~~~
This is a list of features I plan to incorporate into RemoveR. They are
listed in no particular order. 

Some will take longer than others to do ...

* Ability to scan hidden directories in Win3.1x (could be v hard)
* Monitor changes to system.ini, win.ini, autoexec.bat and config.sys
* Scan for updated files as well as added/deleted files (coming soon)
* Adapt the application for other languages. If you feel you would like
  to translate the text used in RemoveR into your native language then
  please contact me .... I will of course provide you with a mention, 
  and registration code for your trouble

Please don't contact me about translating RemoveR into German. Due to
licencing restrictions RemoveR cannot be distributed as Shareware in
the German language.

If YOU have any suggestions as to how I could make RemoveR that little
bit better, then please mail me. A huge number of the features included
since version 1.0 have been from user suggestions. Ta !

Please Remember
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really have worked hard on this program, and I reckon it offers more
than a number of commercial packages that claim to be Uninstallers or
Removers (plus they can cost £30/£50 .... this is a mere £5/$10).

Please read Register.txt for details about how to pay me for the use of
this software.
