A (VERY) short Manual about WinClean 1.10sw
===========================================

What WinClean can do for you:
----------------------------
Everybody who's used Microsoft Windows for more than a few days has come up
against a problem. With very few exceptions, there's no good way to remove a
program written for the environment from your system, if you decide you don't
want it there anymore.

With DOS programs, the problem usually isn't severe. More often than not, all
you need to do to remove a DOS-based program is delete the directory in which
it has been installed, plus its contents. Sometimes there will be changes made
to the system files AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, but those files almost always
reside in the root directory of your first hard drive (C:\), and x86-based
computer users have become used to dealing with those files on a regular basis.

Under Windows, though, the situation gets ugly. You still need to keep track of
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, but there's much more to worry about. Some
programs install in their own directories, while others get thrown in with
Windows itself. Sometimes you get a choice of where to locate the software,
other times not. Even when you think you've isolated your new program, it often
proves to be spread about your system in a way that makes its removal all but
impossible. Files end up in the SYSTEM subdirectory of WINDOWS, .INI files can
be in the subdirectory you specify or in the Windows directory, changes are
often made to WIN.INI -- the list of potential problems goes on and on.

WinClean solves this problem, simply, quickly, and easily. All you do is
copy the files to any directory on any drive.(WinClean will install itself
when used the first time.), and run it before you install a new application or
utility program.

All changes in:
        WINDOWS directory
        WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
        WIN.INI control file
        Target drive of installation
will be surveyed by WinClean.

How to use WinClean:
--------------------
- Start WinClean BEFORE installing any new program under MS-Windows
- Click on INSTALL
- Give the new program a name. (May be different from actual name)
- Enter the drive on which the new application will be installed
- Click on OK
- Now minimize the WinClean window
- and install the new program as stated in its handbook
- Run the new program once after installation and shut it down again
- Now restore WinClean and press OK

that's all you have to do...isn't that easy?

Why register WinClean?
-------------------------------
Your evaluation copy of WinClean performs exctly the same function
function as a registered copy. However, it has been altered to display
messages concerning its unregistered status on program start and program end.
Also the number of installations to be surveyed is limited to two.
Registering WinClean will give you the benefits of having a help line. Every
registered user of WinClean will receive a copy of the program with no
limitation in installation surveys. Also a laserprinted handbook with many
screenshots is included in the registered version. Registered users will also
be contacted as updates to WinClean become available.

Last news:
----------
Everyone, registering WinClean will have the opportunity to connect to our
new WinClean BBS giving you a large library of WinClean control files. With
that you can get rid of application already installed BEFORE using WinClean.
