│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the Instant File Access(TM) Version 4.00 , by
Alexoft. 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.
Instant File Access adds many features to the File Dialogs of your
Windows programs. It allows you to use Long File Names when creating new
documents, and lets you view these long names in the regular File and
Directory listboxes.
Instant File Access 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 30 days, without charge. 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.TXT 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 Instant File Access is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the entire
process. You will need about 690 Kb of available disk space on the
hard drive on which you plan to install Instant File Access.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
Instant File Access.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place IFA distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "WIN 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 IFA files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded Instant File Access (IFA) 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 "SETUP.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the IFA package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "WIN c:\tempdir\install", or run SETUP.EXE from the
Program Manager of Windows.
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 IFA files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
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
