This program was designed specifically for Windows 95, its use on Windows NT
is unsupported until I have been able to test it reliably with NT
=============================================================================
Installation Instructions:
* Copy the files in the archive to a folder of your choice
* Check whether you have the following files in your Windows\System folder:
COMCTL32.OCX, MFC40.DLL, MSVCRT40.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL, VB40032.DLL and
VEN2232.OLB. If any are missing, you will need to copy them into your
Windows\System folder. If you had to add COMCTL32.OCX then you will need
to register it using REGSVR32.EXE, eg, type
"REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMCTL32.OCX"
* Create a shortcut to MORE.EXE on the Start menu or Desktop if you want
If you are missing any files required by the program, they may be downloaded

=============================================================================
Known Issues:
* On some computers, the Startup settings don't seem to work. I called
Microsoft about this problem, and they were unable to help me. It seems to
depend on the BIOS
* The TreeViews do not respond to system color changes properly
* The Icons/Folders ListView does not respond to system icon spacing changes
* Adding Notepad and Quick View context menu items to all files can cause
duplicate entries on the context menu for some file types
* Adding Notepad to all files causes it to become the default action for some
file types. When this occurs, it also causes the Microsoft Office toolbar
to open such files using Notepad
=============================================================================
Known Bugs:
=============================================================================
Troubleshooting:
* Run-time error 31037, "Error loading from file."
If you get this error while loading the application, the most likely
cause is that there is a problem with COMCTL32.OCX. To remedy this,
download a new copy of this file from my home page and use REGSVR32.EXE
to register it again as described in the installation instructions. It
is also possible that you could get this error if you do not have enough
memory available to run the program.
* Run-time error 53, "File not found."
If you get this error while loading the application, the most likely
cause is that you are missing one or more of the required files. Make
sure you have the files listed in the installation instructions in your
Windows\System folder.
* Cannot find MSVCRT.DLL
If you get this error message, the simplest thing to do is to rename
MSVCRT40.DLL to MSVCRT.DLL, or more safely to make a copy with this name.
