BETA WARNING

============

    WARNING!!!! This is a BETA VERSION, which means it was released into

    public in order to find out about possible bugs. This version is NOT

    intended to be used on production machines or any other OS/2 system

    which you absolutely rely upon. I have tested this version thoroughly

    (XFolder is part of my standard configuration), but depending on your

    system configuration and running software XFolder might run into

    problems.

    XFolder is now registering five WPS replacement classes and is indeed

    beginning to influence your WPS quite heavily. So, before installing

    this version,

    --- MAKE A WPS BACKUP ---

    in order to be able to restore your Workplace Shell, in case XFolder

    messes it up.

INSTALLATION

============

    This is described thoroughly in the online reference of XFolder.

    Please double-click on "XFLDR001.INF" in the XFolder directory and read

    through the "Installation" subsection.

  REQUIREMENTS

  ------------

    Basically, nothing fancy:

    - Either OS/2 Warp 3 or 4 with the WPS installed.

    XFolder uses Warp 3 specific API functions. It will not run on

    previous versions of OS/2.

INTRODUCTION

============

    XFolder improves your Workplace Shell by registering replacement

    classes.

    Features:

    --  XFolder can add entries to all of your WPS folders' context menus,

        whose contents you can define yourself by putting regular WPS

        objects in a special XFolder configuration folder. Anything placed

        in this folder will immediately appear in the context menus of all

        folders.

    --  XFolder can also remove OS/2 default menu items.

    --  All folders can now carry their full path in their window

        titles (e.g. "C:\OS2\APPS" instead of just "APPS").

    --  There are freely configurable hotkeys for use within folders

        (e.g. F5 for "Refresh now").

    --  "Snap to grid" feature for all folders.

    --  Auto-scroll folder Tree views to make appearing items visible.

    --  Extended Shutdown / Restart WPS only.

    Please read through the "Introduction" section in XFLDR001.INF to

    learn more.
