1. What is Space Explorer for Windows?
================================================

Space Explorer for Windows shows the disk space used by folders and their 
sub-folders. Features include: 

* see folder sizes in Explorer-like tree (which you can drill down, 
  save and sort by name, nominal size, allocated size, wasted (slack) 
  space or date)
* see folder sizes in pie charts, bar charts, line charts, and spline charts
* view, rotate, and print 3D charts
* highlight trees that exceed a certain size
* view disk space allocated and wasted
* multithreading support (view one group of folders while other groups 
  are being analysed; and set thread priorities)
* UNC support
* MDI support
* drag/drop support from File Manager/Explorer
* create/save folder lists using Explorer-like window (so you can repeat
  sizing operation)
* install/uninstall
* full context-sensitive Help.

There are many ways to use Space Explorer. For example, you can use it 
to find out:

- which directory tree is using most space;

- how much disk space is being used in users' home directories;

- if two or more directory trees are identical (by comparing their 
  sizes); you can also browse down the directories to see where 
  they differ.

Using Space Explorer for Windows is very easy. If you require more 
information while you're using it, press F1. This will provide 
context-sensitive help. 


2. How to install Space Explorer
================================================

To install Space Explorer, simply run SETUP.EXE and follow the instructions.
Once you have installed Space Explorer, you have the option of later
uninstalling it.


3. Ordering information
================================================

Space Explorer is not free. To find out how to order it, choose the Ordering
Information command from the Help menu in Space Explorer.


4. Troubleshooting
================================================
If Space Explorer fails to install, check that your computer satisfies the 
system requirements listed in section 5. In particular, you will require 
support for ActiveX. If you run Internet Explorer or any other program 
that uses OLE, you will probably have the required OLE files installed 
on your computer.


5. System requirements 
================================================
The table below describes the system requirements for Space Explorer. You 
may find that you do not need a computer with a specification that matches 
these requirements. If your computer's specification falls significantly 
below these requirements, you may find that the 16-bit version of Space 
Explorer (called PKDirUse v3.0 for Windows) provides better performance.
