Readme for SmartOpen 14/12/98
===========================

Disclaimer:
~~~~~~~~~~~
This software is provided on an "as is" basis.  Nothing should go wrong,
but if it does, it is not my fault.  You use this software at your own risk.

Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you have downloaded SmartOpen.zip, extract all the contents into the
folder where you want it installed, c:\program files\accessories\SmartOpen
for example.  If you had to download the Visual Basic Runtime files
(Vbrun60.zip), this should be unzipped and executed BEFORE running SmartOpen.
If you had to download comctl32.zip then this should be extracted
into your windows\system folder. 

If you are missing any of these files they can be downloaded from the
SmartOpen website at http://www.comports.com/AlexV/SmartOpen.html

Once all the files are in place, you can run SmartOpen.  This will add an
entry to the "Add/Remove Programs" list in the Control Panel for the easy
uninstallation of SmartOpen (see uninstall section).  No shortcuts are
placed on the start menu, allowing you to manually create whichever shortcuts
you want wherever you want them.  If you want to create a shortcut to
Uninstall the command line is SmartOpen.exe /uninstall.

Uninstallation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the Control Panel and select
"SmartOpen" from the list.  You will be prompted to confirm, then SmartOpen
will remove all its associations and settings from the registry.  Once it  has
done this, you can then delete the folder where you installed SmartOpen, and
any shortcut icons you created.  You may also wish to delete the VB6 runtimes
and ComCtl32.ocx if you had to download, but this is not recommended, as if any
other program uses them it will not work if you delete them.  The VB6 runtime
files installed are:

OLEAUT32.DLL
OLEPRO32.DLL
ASYCFILT.DLL
STDOLE2.TLB
MSVBVM60.DLL
COMCAT.DLL
