1. What is System Cleaner 98?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A hard drive certainly can be a messy place. It can be crammed full of stuff
you don't need, or want. Windows applications litter your hard drive with
junk that serves no purpose. This junk can cause your PC to slow down and
even cause some application problems.

System Cleaner 98 fixes and prevents errors in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
by finding and cleaning(deleting) error-producing and space-wasting garbage
files. System Cleaner 98 operates by regularly scanning your hard drive for
various error producing files and then optionally cleaning them from your
system for you.

System Cleaner 98 targets specific types of error producing files that common
disk utilities, uninstall, defrag, disk-scanning, and sweep-type programs will
miss. The error files that System Cleaner 98 searches for and deletes can produce
hazardous results if they are not properly cleaned from your drive on a periodic
basis.

System Cleaner 98 is a safe, fast, and thorough way of keeping your system
running like new.

   program to be loaded when the main application closes.

What's new in version 2.0 RC2.1 (March 04 1998):

 - Well, this is the "Real" RC2. I packed the wrong EXE file, and since
   I left the office for a 5 day business trip I only spotted the problem
   after got back. I'm very sorry about this. This "new" version should
   correct the  ' ":" is not a valid integer value' bug.

What's new in version 2.0 RC2 (Feb 25 1998):

   lost because of cluster size.
 - Improved the Scheduler.
 - Added a small applet called "System Cleaner 98 Scheduler" that sits on

    more error checking routines so that we can trace the problem. If
    you receive this kind of messages please email me a.s.a.p. so
    that I can try to fix it. Please include the OS you use and the
    language of it. Any other details are also welcome.
