                        ---------------------------------------



INSTALLATION:
-------------

  1.) Copy SHDN.EXE and all Icons (*.ICO) into a directory of your choice.

  2.) Make a shortcut of SHDN.EXE on your desktop (or where ever you want).



BETA TEST HINTS:
----------------

You should know following things, if you are interested in beta-testing
this program (because this Beta comes without documentation):

a) ShutDown NOW! is now fully commandline supported too!

   Please go to a commandline and type: SHDN /? (or SHDN /HELP, or SHDN /H)
   to get an overview of all possible options and commandline parameters!

b) If you don't like the new window-animations or have errors, you can
   disable them by either unchecking 'Animated Windows' on page 2 of the
   Controls settings in the Options Notebook, or by setting the entry:

                [Controls]        to              [Controls]
                WinAni=1                          WinAni=0

   in the SHDN.INI file in your Windows® directory.

c) You can control SHDN!'s main window by keyboard now:

   'O' = Options (Notebook)    /       'T' = move to system tray
   'I' = Information Window, Registry Form / 'P' = pause timer
   'S' = stop timer

   AND! :   '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '0'
   ------
            for each item in the Shutdown Combo-ListBox !!!

   In addition to that, every tab of the notebook is now selectable
   by its first letter (even if it not visible)!

Ok, so far so good! - Please read the BETATEST.TXT ! (Even if you are not a
usual beta-tester.) - Everything else must be self-explaining until the
(Win-HELP) documentation is updated. - Feel free to register ShutDown NOW!,
because you will get a LIFE-TIME !!! license for only $15 (please open the
Information Window of ShutDown NOW! to get a (now) printable form for that
and all further information about prices, multi-user/machine licenses, etc.)
