GETTING STARTED
=====================

	PMCRC32 is a small all in one EXE Program, it can be automaticaly installed via
	WarpIN (any versions) or simply by copy the EXE to any drive/path you want.

	Note :
	When you just copy the EXE manualy , the file assosiation for ".SFV" 
	will not be copied.

	You need to Install it via WarpIN or add add the assosiation by yourself.

	

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
=====================

  You may get a WARNING message from PMCRC32 when you try to load a badly SFV file, 
  or you get a wiered message that it cant find a file ----_____--- or smiler.

  This is not a bug in PMCRC32, it is a badly written SFV File.
  If this should happen, check (by opening the SFV FILE with any Text Editor - like E.EXE)
  the SFV file itself for a line containing this wiered name and add a "  ;  " sign before it.

  Next time PMCRC32 is running , it will ignore this line and continue as usual.
  
  No other Limitations yet known.

  NOTE : 
	You can now adjust this in the preferences of PMCRC32, see the chapter "Errors" in the 
	the "Preference" Pannel, and read the help for it how to adjust it.

NOTES
=====================

This Version of PMCRC32 has been tested under the follwoing Systems :

	OS/2 Warp 4.0 (german) (plain without a Fixpack) 
	OS/2 Warp 4.0 with Fixpack #15 (german)

	eCS english (plain)
	eCS german with fixpack #1
	eCS german with fixpack #2

It was reported earlier last year, that under fixpack #11-#13 this release of EXE could 
freeze , and must be killed. (OS/2 WARP4 FP#15 UK/US version too)

This Version of PMCRC32 is now compiled with modificated SIBYL runtime libarys
If it should still freeze on your system - please feel free to contact me.

This seems to be a problem with the SIBYL Compiler Fixpack #4, for this user a downgraded
Version of PMCRC32 is aviable created with Compiler FP#3 that will solve this Problem.

NOTE : 
Unfortunaly FP#3 doesnt support a major function needed for MD5 support.
The Version of PMCRC32 created with FP#3 DOES NOT CONTAIN MD5 SUPPORT !!!!
