===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains Replicator (TM) Version 1.10 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.
Replicator is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 2 weeks, without charge (see REPLICAT.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 =====================================
The installation procedure for Replicator is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.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.
o Place Replicator distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
o 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
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.
o 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.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the <product> package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o 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
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the Replicator 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 <product>
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
(filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
read at least the "Installation" section of the file REPLICAT.DOC. That
document will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you
other information you need to properly evaluate Replicator. We hope you
enjoy the program.
