1. PURPOSE

SmartDir produces customizable file listings and disk management
reports. Helps document and manage everything from hard drives
and CD-ROMs to the largest network server volumes. Generates plain
text documents that can be edited, saved, printed, or copied and
pasted into other programs. Tab-delimited output option. Reports
can be scheduled to run unattended. Many other features, such as
NTFS compression stats. Standard Microsoft Visual C++ application
provides unlimited report sizes and unmatched speed.


2. INSTALLATION

The smdir50.exe file included in this archive is a self-extracting
install file. It will temporarily extract files to your "temp"
directory and launch the Setup program. The default install
location for SmartDir is C:\Program Files\Gavlock Consulting, but
this can be overridden during the installation. An uninstall program
that will completely remove SmartDir from your system is also
provided.


3. SHAREWARE

SmartDir is distributed as shareware. The shareware (unregistered)
version is a complete working version of the program but limits the
number of report items processed after the first 20 reports (to help
provide a full evaluation, there are no limits placed on the first 20
reports generated). If you wish to continue to use the program and
have these limits removed, a $20 registration fee is required.
Registered users also receive priority technical support, priority
enhancement consideration, and prompt notification of future product
updates.


4. DISTRIBUTION

The shareware version of SmartDir may be freely distributed for
evaluation purposes without charge.
