==================
Using NSS In Win95
==================
The easiest way to use NSS under Windows 95 is to set up a shortcut
for NSS. Make sure that the files SECRET.EXE, SECRET.HLP, README.TXT,
and LICENSE.TXT are copied to the same directory. Right-click on the
desktop and choose NEW/SHORTCUT. Use the Browse button to select
SECRET.EXE. Name the shortcut Norton Secret Stuff.
Compatibility Issues
=====================
Long filenames (LFNs) are maintained if the NSS archive is expanded
on Windows 95 systems. LFNs are converted to DOS (8.3) format if the
archive is expanded on DOS, Windows 3.x, or Windows NT systems.
On certain machines, NSS may be slow returning from the "Select a File
to Encrypt" dialog if you add a large number of files. The mouse cursor
will not change to an hourglass during this process.
Due to differences in the way extended ASCII characters are handled by
Win95, Win NT, Win 3.x, and DOS, it is possible to create an NSS archive
with a name that decrypts on Win95 or Win NT systems but not on Win 3.x
or DOS systems. To correct this, you can use a Win95 or Win NT system
to decrypt the file or you can rename it using characters that are valid
under DOS and Win 3.x.
