	PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
 
	  XFile is a multifunctional desktop utility designed to run
        under Windows 3.1.  The program consists only of a desktop icon
	with its various operating "modes" selectable from its popup
	menu.  The four supported file "modes" require file icons to be
	"dropped" from File Manager (or a compatible Windows shell) onto
	the XFile icon.  Processing will then occur according to the
	options set by the user.  
          Features included in the XFile application are as follows:

	     * Drag and drop file deletion.
	     * Drag and drop directory deletion.
	     * Drag and drop file/directory renaming.
	     * Drag and drop file/directory attribute alteration.
	     * Available resource monitor mode and multiple alarms.
	     * Available memory monitor mode. 
	     * Time display mode and alarm.
	     * Date display mode.
	     * Optional resetting of system time and date.
	     * Multi-drive file finder.
	     * Program launcher.
	     * Timed program execution. 
             * Informational reports on various software and hardware
	         components of the user's system.

	
	PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:

	  XFile requires Windows version 3.1 or higher to operate; a
	mouse is required to utilize the file operations of the program.

	PROGRAM INSTALLATION:

          While XFile may be run from a floppy disk, it is highly advisable
	to copy the application program, XFILE.EXE, to any convenient area
	of the hard disk.  It also suggested that XFile be placed in your
	Windows "StartUp" group so it is always available on the desktop.
	  XFile makes no changes to any DOS or Windows configuration files.
	It does create a parameter file called XFILE.INI, which is placed
	in the default Windows directory (usually C:\WINDOWS).  If you 
	remove XFile from your system, you should also delete this file 
	along with the application program.
