Disk Police, Version 1.3 Introduction
-------------------------------------

    Welcome to Disk Police.  This program is designed to manage shared
    disk space, typically on a network file server.  It finds "disk 
    hogs" - users who consume too much space on the shared disk.  
    
    It does this by allowing you to establish a list of shared disk 
    users, each with a certain space allotment.  These users are the 
    owners of their space and are responsible for staying within their 
    assigned space limits.  Disk Police checks the disk against the 
    list, finding users who are in violation so that action can be 
    taken.

    Disk Police is designed to resolve the disk space problem that is so
    common to DOS networks.  That is, no matter how large your network
    file server is, unless its space is managed and regularly cleaned up,
    it won't take long until all the space is consumed.  Disk Police 
    makes that disk management easy.

    Disk Police is a program written for use with Microsoft Windows.  It
    is very easy to use and requires no documentation other than Help
    messages (provided in the program).  The only operator effort 
    required is to set up the list of users.  Once this is done, Disk 
    Police does the rest just by pressing a button.

    Disk Police, Version 1.3 is designed to be used with Microsoft
    Windows Version 3.0 or higher.

Installation
------------    

    1.  Start Microsoft Windows (if it is not already running).
        Disk Police is designed for Windows Version 3.0, but it will
        run on Windows Version 2.x as well.

    2.  Create a directory for the Disk Police program and data files:
            Use File Manager, File menu item, Create Directory
            Create a new directory...  C:\POLICE             
        Note that any other directory name is acceptable.

    3.  Copy all files from the Disk Police program disk:
            Put Disk Police program disk in A: drive
            Use File Manager, Switch to A: drive icon
            Highlight all file names
            Select File Copy menu item
            Copy to C:\DP      (or whatever directory you created)
            Copy the DP.INI file to your Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS)

    4.  Change the DP.INI file if desired.  Use Windows Notepad to
        make the changes.  DP.INI has the following lines:

            [DISKPOLICE]
            DataPath=C:\DP\    
            SliceLimit=50

        Change DataPath to the name of the directory to which you 
        installed Disk Police.
        Make sure to include the full data path, including the last \.

        Change SliceLimit to any value between 0 and 100.  This is
        the number of slices (or users) Disk Police can handle.
        Keep in mind that each slice will take 542 bytes of memory.
        So a SliceLimit of 100 will consume about 54K memory.
