This is a BETA TEST version of PC-Vault 4.4.  This means that we have
tested it on a number of computers under different conditions.  We have
not tested all possible combintatios of selected options, nor with great
numbers of applications.  It is possible, therefore, that it may contain
serious errors.  If you wish to report a problem, please see the IN CASE
OF DIFFICULTY section below.

This is a DEMONSTRATION version.  Passwords you define cannot be longer than
one character, and that character must be a letter from A through G.  The
alarm and lockout limits cannot be set to values from 1 through 8.  Values of
zero and those greater than 8 are allowed.  These are the only restrictions,
so this version is FULLY FUNCTIONAL.  


                               Thank You
      
    Thank you for trying the PC-Vault Hard Disk Protection System.  All
    of the PC-Vault documentation is contained in the Administrator's Manual. 
    The User's Manual contains those portions of the Administrator's Manual
    which are pertinent to users who do not have administrator access.

    Both of these manuals are contained in compressed form in the file
    VAULTDOC.EXE.  If your PC-Vault diskette is in drive A:, you may print
    either or both manuals by typing:

         A:VAULTDOC -p ADMIN.DOC       to print the Administrator's Manual,
         A:VAULTDOC -p USER.DOC        to print the User's Manual, or
         A:VAULTDOC -p                 to print both manuals.

    If you wish to place a copy of either or both manuals on your hard drive,
    simply make it the default drive and change to the directory you wish to
    contain the manual(s).  Then type one of the commands shown above
    omitting the -p.  For example, to place both manuals in an existing
    C:\DOCS directory, use the commands:

         C:
         CD\DOCS
         A:VAULTDOC



    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    The manuals were compressed using the excellent PKZIP file compression
    program from PKWARE, INC.   PKWARE also provided the software used to
    create the self-decompressing file VAULTDOC.EXE which contains the PC-
    Vault manuals.  VAULTDOC.EXE is distributed on this diskette under the
    terms of PKWARE's very reasonably priced distribution license agreement. 
    For more information on PKWARE products, you may reach them at (414) 352-

    NEW FEATURES

    manual.






    IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

    The fastest way to solve most problems is to review the appropriate
    section(s) of the Administrator's Manual.

    If the problem might be a conflict with other resident software, try
    renaming your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to another name such as AUTOEXEC.1, and
    then rebooting your computer.  If the problem disappears, rename the
    AUTOEXEC file back to its original name and then remove statements one at
    a time until the conflicting software is identified.  Call for technical
    support if more help is needed.  

    In the event that you should need technical support please:
           
    1.   Corporate customers using PC-Vault on a large number of     
         computers are supported ONLY through their corporate PC support
         staff.  We will provide technical assistance to them as needed.  
                       
    2.   Contact us by phone (804) 872-9583, or call our BBS at (804) 
         877-6261 (available soon).
                       
    3.   Please be prepared to provide:
         a. Your serial number,
         b. The dates shown by doing a DIR of the PC-Vault diskette,
         c. The EXACT text of any error messages displayed,
         d. The selection status of each item in the  options menu.          
         e. The value of each item in the Limits menu,
         f. As much information about your system as possible such as      
         brand, model, hard disk(s), video cards, DOS version, resident
         software, content of your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, etc.

         If you do not have this information available when you call,      
         we will most likely be unable to provide correct answers or     
         solutions, and we may have to request that you call again with the
         correct information.

    4.   If at all possible, call when you are at the computer in question. 
         We can most often resolve a problem immediately if you can be at the
         computer while we are talking together. 

    Thank you.
