1. INTRODUCTION
------------
Thank you for taking the time to download this software package.
FontReview 2.6 is a utility for both 95/98/NT4/2000. With this 
32 bit software installed, you can view, print and install any TrueType 
font directly from the Explorer interface. 

After FontReview is installed on your system, you can look at 
uninstalled TrueType fonts on any storage medium. It works with TTF files on
floppy, CD-ROMs and hard drive directories. If the font is not installed,
you can install it with two clicks!

FontReview includes a comprehensive UNINSTALL program, so we encourage you
to install it on your system and give it a trial run. If you don't like
the FontReview (we suspect you will!), you can easily remove the
program from your computer.

This README.TXT file contains important information for new users as well
as shareware distributors. Please take the time to read through it.

Recent version changes can be found in the CHANGES.TXT.

2. INSTALL/UNINSTALL AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------
To install FontReview, you need a computer running Windows 95/98/NT4/2000.
We recommend at least a Pentium class machine with 16 megabytes of memory.

** Information about OCX and DLL versions shipped with this software can
** be found at the end of this file.

To install FontReview:
        1. Create a temporary directory and unzip the distribution
           .ZIP file to that directory.
        2. Double click the SETUP.EXE icon found in that temporary
           directory. This program will install FontReview on your
           computer.
        3. After you have installed FontReview, you can delete the
           temporary directory and the SETUP.EXE file.
        4. We recommend placing the distribution .ZIP file on a backup
           floppy in case you need to reinstall FontReview. 

If you need to uninstall FontReview, click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon
in your Windows Control Panel. From the list, select FontReview. This
will run the uninstaller. The uninstaller removes program files and removes
changes made to the Windows Registry.


3. RUNNING FONTREVIEW
---------------------
Because FontReview is accessed through the Windows Explorer interface
(it is a "shell extension"), it does not have a Start Menu item like
Microsoft Word or Corel Draw.

To see FontReview in action, open a folder containing uninstalled
TrueType TTF files. A CD-ROM filled with TrueType fonts will do nicely.
If you right click on a TTF file, you will notice three new menu items.
"Print", "Open", and "Install." If you click "Open" (or double click the
TTF file), this will bring up the main FontReview window. From here you can
see what your uninstalled font file looks like!

If you press the F1 key, it will open the FontReview online help file.
The help file tells you more about using FontReview!

4. SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION
-------------------------
Because this is a shareware application, we encourage users and companies to
distribute this program. If you are a commercial shareware distributor we ask 
that you contact us before distributing our software.

If you run a BBS, web site, FTP site or other online service, please feel free
to post this software on your service. See the enclosed fontrev26.pad file
for more information.


5. PURCHASING & PRICING
-----------------------
FontReview is a shareware program distributed and supported
by Lose Your Mind Development, an Association of Shareware Professionals
member. Lose Your Mind Development has been in business for over seven years
programming and distributing Windows font products.

You are encouraged to put this program through its paces to see if you
find it of value. If it is a utility you feel you will use in your home
or office work, we kindly ask that you pay for it. If not, please run
the uninstall program and remove it from your computer system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Listed below are the version numbers of the OCX/DLL files ship
with FontReview inside the SETUP.EXE. 

You may or may not have some of these components already on 
your system. When copying OCX/DLL files, setup compares the 
source file version with what any existing versions on your
computer. If the file exists and is newer, setup does not
copy the file. If the version number is equal or older, then
setup does copy the file. A backup of the original file is
placed in a FontReview\Backup folder.
