PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

	Clip Filer is a Clipboard Text Database Tool.  It appears to the

	files, move selected text from the database to the Clipboard, move
	current text from the Clipboard to the database, enter text via the
	keyboard to be written to the database, and activate a full Help
	system.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

	If you have the distribution version CLPFL102.ZIP, you must first
	decompress the program using PKUNZIP.  The file was created using
	PKZIP, version 2.04G.  You may either create a temporary directory
	on your system's hard drive and unzip the file into it, or you may
	use a diskette (High Density) to create an install diskette.

	Once the files are available in the "unzipped" form, use either
	the File Manager or the Program Manager (File|Run) to locate and
	run the INSTALL.EXE program.  You may select the destination
	directory, although one is suggested.  The Install program will
	create the directory, if necessary, decompress and copy files into
	place, create a Program Manager Group and Program Icon.

	* SPECIAL NOTE FOR WINDOWS 95 & WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION 

	The INSTALL.EXE program requires that the primary Windows "shell"
	be either PROGMAN.EXE or equivalent.  The new systems do not use
	PROGMAN.EXE as the "shell."  To install on these systems, simply
	copy the following files to the desired directory and then create
	a new program item icon/shortcut to CLIPFILE.EXE.

		CLIPFILE.EXE
		CLIPFILE.HLP
		** BWCC.DLL
	
		** NOTE: copy this DLL to the \{WINDOWS}\SYSTEM directory,
		IF AND ONLY IF there is not a new copy of BWCC.DLL already
		in that directory.
