OPM - Outline Program Manager			*** FREEWARE ***
      by Dale Thompson				*** FREEWARE ***

Overview

This little program is not a replacement for Program Manager - it is an
enhancement; an alternate way of viewing your groups and launching
programs.

OPM scans the Program Manager groups and items (using DDE) and presents
these groups and items in an outline form. Double-clicking on a group
(represented by the folder icon) displays all items in that group.
Another double-click hides those items from view. Double-clicking on an
item in a group launches the program, just as if you had double-clicked
on the icon in Program Manager. Groups and items in groups are sorted
alphabetically, so they are easier to find and always in the same place.

I have been using this program for quite a while now and have had no
problems. But if you should encounter a problem using OPM I would be
glad to here from you. 

Installation

To keep distribution size down, I have NOT included VBRUN300.DLL, which
is needed for operation. If you don't have this file, you should be able
to get it from the same place you got this program.

Installation is easy, only a few files to copy.

The following files should be found after extracting from the archive:

    OPM.EXE		Main Program
    MSAFINX.DLL		System file
    MSOUTLIN.VBX	System file
    README.TXT		This file

1. Copy all .VBX and .DLL files into your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
   Also, make sure the file VBRUN300.DLL (not included) is present in
   the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

2. Copy OPM.EXE into a directory of your choice.

4. Once properly installed, create an icon for OPM in any program manager
   group and double click on it.

And it's FREE!!!

This program is freeware - you can give copies to whoever you want, just
don't sell it (as if you could anyway...). Please leave the archive in
it's original form, unaltered.
