   WHAT IS DISKSTATE?
   __________________________________________________________________
      Browse through your disk space to find out total, used and free 
      space and file system info on your drives. Get detailed info on 
      the biggest folders on selected volume.  Eliminate  wasted disk 
      space by deleting old and temporary files  at your command.  In 
      addition, get a  complete listing  of duplicate  files over all 
      your  drives.  This  uses a powerful  128-bit MD5 signature  to 
      ensure that  files actually  are equal (CRC32  also available). 
      Capture  disk  states,  generate reports,  schedule  a deletion 
      engine,  extract  boot blocks  for  multiboot  and other system 
      tools.

      All in all, this  is a small but  powerful tool to  analyze and 
      tidy your computer in a nice safe way.

   SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
   __________________________________________________________________
       Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or Windows 2000 Pro. 
       DiskState's deletion engine requires Windows  NT/2000 to  set 
        up the service. Also, the Deletion engine  requires MFC  DLLs 
        (not included in the standard  distribution).  Available  for 
        download below at: 
        http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc42.cab. 
       Intel  386  processor  or  better.  A  Pentium   Class CPU is 
        recommended. 
       8 MB RAM. 
       Internet  Explorer 3.02 or better to view the help files. 
       If  you  are running  Windows 95 build 950,  you  need Common 
        Controls  Update.  This  is not necessary for other operation 
        systems (Win95 setup program comes with this).

   INSTALL
   __________________________________________________________________
      There are two distribution  files for  this program.  Both  the
      distribution files include a wizard to guide you safely through
      the installation  process.  The first and  largest distribution 
      file is meant for  Windows 95  system -  it is sort  of a  full
      install.  The normal  distribution  file is for other operating
      systems like  Windows 2000, Win98,  Win98, Windows ME,  Windows
      NT 4 and so forth.
