===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains Replicator (TM) by Stevenson Technical Services,
Inc. (STSI). This document contains only a brief description of the
package and its features, along with instructions for its installation.
Quite detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in
archived form, and is more easily read after installation.
Replicator is a program designed to take a "snap-shot" of a floppy
diskette, and store the information in an image file. This image file
contains all of the information stored on the original diskette,
including DOS, directories and sub-directories, programs, and data.
The image file can be stored on a hard disk, and even transferred
over a modem. When the diskette is needed at some future date,
Replicator decompresses the image file onto a blank (formatted)
diskette, creating a look-alike version of the original.
In addition, Replicator maintains a complete database of the disk images
that have been created. Each disk image entry in the database can
hold up to 10 description lines, the date the image file was created,
and a complete list of all files contained on the original diskette!
The database can be edited, browsed, searched, and printed. Network
support is included for multi-user environments.
Replicator is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program. There is a 25-record database limit to
encourage users to register. You may use Replicator for up to 2 weeks,
without charge (see REPWIN.DOC for more details). If you like the
program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for more details).
Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
program.

===== Installation =====================================
Installing Replicator For Windows
The installation procedure for Replicator is quite simple. The package
includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the entire process.
You will need about 1 megabyte of available disk space on the hard drive
on which you plan to install Replicator.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
Replicator.
Installing From Diskettes
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
1. Place Replicator distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the appropriate
diskette drive.
2. From Program Manager, select Run. Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program on
the distribution diskette. For example, if the distribution diskette is
on drive A:, type the command, "a:setup".
3. Follow the instructions presented by the setup program. You will have
a chance to approve installation before any changes are actually made to
the contents of your hard drive. The program will ask you for a
destination directory, and will copy the Replicator files to that
directory. If you received Replicator on two diskettes, you will need
to insert Disk 2 in the diskette drive when asked to do so. If you so
direct it, the installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice.
Installing From A Hard Drive
If you downloaded Replicator from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
1. Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary directory
on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this varies, depending on
the form in which you received the package. In all likelihood, the fact
that you are reading this text means that you already have the necessary
tools and knowledge to perform this step. If not, you should be able to
obtain directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
2. From Program Manager, select Run. Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program
which you have extracted. For example, if the temporary directory into
which you have extracted the files is C:\TEMPDIR, you would type the
command, "c:\tempdir\setup".
3. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You
will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are
actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The installation
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the
program files to that directory. If you so direct it, the installation
program will install executable programs and documentation in other
directories of your choice.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the program,
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
Note : If you are upgrading from a previous version, Replicator will
issue a warning before overwriting the file REPWIN.INI. If you have
already set up your registration information and user preferences in
Replicator, answer "N" (No) to instruct the setup program not to
overwrite this file. When the installation is complete, a message box
will be displayed, and when you select Ok the setup program will
terminate.
Users who currently have Replicator For DOS may want to share the
database information between the two programs. To do this, simply
install Replicator For Windows into the same directory where Replicator
For DOS is located. Replicator For Windows will automatically use the
same database files as the DOS version. (Likewise, users installing the
DOS version can install Replicator For DOS into the same directory as
the Replicator For Windows directory.)
