Registry Search & Replace (REGSRCH.EXE) is a Win32 utility which can be used
to simplify maintenance of the Windows NT and Windows 95 registration
databases (the "registry").  For more complete information on what this
utility offers, how to use it, or about its author, see our support site on
the internet's World Wide Web at address:

                http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/shoek

This site serves as the primary support contact for the program (in addition
to e-mail).  Here you will find a complete tutorial with screen shots and
a Frequently Asked Question list.  You will always be able to find the latest
version of this and other SJHSWDev programs on this site.

There are many new features in this version!  Even though a year has passed
since the release of v1.00, you'll see that RegSearch still has a bright
future ahead of it as it gains more and more functionality in the area of
registry maintenance.  Many of the new features were the result of registered
user suggestions!

Some of the best new features include:
--  New RegSearch Profiles (.RSP) allow the saving and restoration of
    search criteria.  Profiles are associated with REGSRCH.EXE automatically,
    and can be set to AutoStart for complete automation of a search & replace
    operation.
--  Ability to search for registry values as well as data
    (as in HIVE\Key\Value = Data)
--  Remote registry search capability
--  Integration with the Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 Start Menu Find submenu
--  New user interface
--  Improved speed and accuracy
--  Full compatibility with Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT 3.51.
    (best experienced under the new shell of Win95 and WinNT 4.0)

Also new in this version is the switch from "donation-ware" to true shareware.
If you find Registry Search & Replace a useful addition to your toolbox, you
are encoraged to register it.  Registered users receive free upgrades for the
life of the program, active support, and a eager ear for enhancement
suggestions.  For details on how to register, please see the Registration page
of the program's tabbed dialog.  Note that an evaluation period of 25 uses of
the program is imposed on unregistered users.

Since you're reading these release notes, you have already successfully
installed RegSearch using its new InstallShield setup program.  If you are
having trouble running REGSRCH.EXE because of the need for MFC40.DLL or
MSVCRT40.DLL, you need to obtain these DLL's and put them in your Windows
system directory.  First, check your drives for these files in other directories
(use Windows 95's file finder to make it easy).  If you don't have them already,
they can be downloaded from Compuserve's WINSHARE forum under the name
MFC40RUN.ZIP or from the Internet at address:
                 http://www.schaft.com/ftp/Win95/mfc4.zip
These DLL's will eventually be included with future versions of Windows (for
example, Windows NT 4.0 includes them).  In order to reduce the size of the
RegSearch distribution archive, I decided to leave them out.

I hope you find this utility as useful as I do!  Thanks...
