PURPOSE/FUNCTION
Drive Watchdog is intended to help you track files as they are 
added, deleted, or changed including growth or shrinkage and by 
how much.

INSTALLATION
To install Drive Watchdog, run the "DWDSetup.exe" file included 
with the "zip" package.  This is a standard "Install Shield" setup 
program and will install or update required files as listed below

REMOVAL (we don't think you will want to)
To comply with Microsoft WIN32 Standards, the program was designed 
to be uninstalled by using "Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs"

=============================================================
FILES INSTALLED/REQUIRED BY DriveWatchdog

Following files are installed by the Setup program:

In DriveWatchdog directory (selected at setup,  C:\Program 
Files\DriveWatchdog\ by default).  

- DriveWatchdog.exe (copyright 1998 by DWD Technology)
- DriveWatchdog.hlp (copyright 1998 by DWD Technology)
- DriveWatchdogLicense.txt 

- wd3.def 
- Uninstall.rtf
- Shortcuts (*.pif or *.lnk) to four of the above files in 
  Start Menu/Programs/DriveWatchdog

In the subdirectory /DriveWatchdog/Reports/

- sample2.rtf
- sample1.txt

The following files are stored in your windows/system directory 
and may be required by many programs.  Drive Watchdog requires 
these exact versions (or later) and will add or upgrade these 
files but will not overwrite later versions of the same files.  If 
you intentionally prevent "Setup" from updating these files, 
DriveWatchdog may not work.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR SIMTEL DOWNLOADERS:

If you downloaded this package from SIMTEL, and do not already
have the required files, you may need to install "MSVBM50.DLL".
Rule of thumb:  If Drive Watchdog does not immediately work, get
the complete package directly from DWD Technology at:

will be created in the /DriveWatchdog/ directory.

Addtional report files (and the included samples) are stored in 
the DriveWatchdog/Reports/ directory.

Memory Usage:  DriveWatchdog will typically use  5.09 MB 
(including  3MB shared) while running and releases all memory
while not in use.

=============================================================

Known Issues:

On Some systems, the recycle bin may be handled differently because 
of various utility programs.  In these cases, when an entire 
folder is discarded as a single unit and is stored in a single 
file along with its contents, Drive Watchdog may not recognize the 
contents of that "recycled" folder as separate files, and may 
respond inconsistently.  This will NOT affect Drive Watchdog's 
ability to accurately monitor and report on user files or recycle 
bin files that have been discarded normally.

DriveWatchdog can handle millions of files, but assumes that no 
single volume (drive) will contain more than 32,000 folders, and 
that no single folder will contain more than 32,000 files.  In the 
very unlikely event that your systems exceeds these parameters, 
please contact us if you need customized applications.
