Windows 95 Uninstaller
Version 2.0 by Antonino Iannella, July 27th, 1996
Congratulations for choosing Windows 95 Uninstaller! It is a PM-based Windows
95 uninstaller for OS/2.
Directions for use
To uninstall Windows 95, follow these steps -
Enter the full pathname of your Windows 95 directory in the textbox. It
is C:\WINDOWS by default.
Select or deselect Amuse me while I'm waiting. If you have a sound card
installed, a .WAV file will be played to maximise the sense of euphoria,
generated by what you are about to do .
Press Start to commence removing Windows 95. You will be asked to confirm
your decision. The deletion process is
- The directory where Windows 95 resides (eg C:\WINDOWS)
- It is hard to determine which files the Windows 95 root directory
are used, and what purpose they serve. In any case, the following
files will be deleted, whether it exists or not. Compressed
partitions are preserved.
-- bootlog.prv
-- bootlog.txt
-- detlog.old
-- detlog.txt
-- io.dos
-- io.sys
-- msdos.---
-- msdos.bak
-- msdos.dos
-- msdos.sys
-- setuplog.old
-- setuplog.txt
-- suhdlog.---
-- suhdlog.dat
-- system.1st
-- command.com
-- autoexec.bat
-- autoexec.dos
-- config.dos
-- config.sys
Errors may be generated if an operation could not be performed. Please
note that Windows 95 Uninstaller is just a fancy deletion program; it may
be used to erase any directory, even Windows 3.1. So watch out!
Press ? on the titlebar for on-line help.
Press About for Author Information.
Press Close to exit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. How to install Windows 95 Uninstaller ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To run Windows 95 Uninstaller, you must have
OS/2 Warp or above,
the REXX component installed, and
the View.exe INF file viewer.
Multimedia sound card support is optional. Performance is better on faster
machines.
Copy the archive UnWin952.zip to any directory, and decompress it. Run
UWinst.cmd to create (or update) a desktop object. To uninstall, simply remove
all files.
The information files can be safely deleted, but not when distributing!

Trademarks and acknowledgements
OS/2 is a trademark of IBM. Windows 95 is a mistake, ehem - trademark of
Microsoft .
Although I created this package, I am indebted to other people. I used the
DELDIR.ZIP package by Mark Polly, in the Hobbes.nmsu.edu REXX directory, for
deleting the Windows 95 directory.
The main logo was derived from images taken from the Official Anti-Microsoft
Home Page,
http://www.microsoft.is.lame.org:8001/~chris/HATE/
So my thanks go to whoever did them. I should also acknowledge Microsoft for
it; I guess they did the original :-(.
My thanks to the producers of When Harry Met Sally for the orgasm scene; it
really suits this application, so I thought it was an injustice not to include
it. I don't know how I got it, I guess it just landed on my PC one day, honest!

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Version information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
v 1.0 - First version released in October, 1995!
Quite successful, considering it was a prototype!
v 2.0 - Exciting new version! Actually liberates your PC
of Windows 95. A high possibility of creating errors
since it probably isn't VFAT-aware :-(.
The root directory files have not been properly determined.
