Pack'n Go 4.0 for Win 3.X/Win 95/Win NT - FREEWARE
             ==================================================

Thank you for Checking out Packn'Go for Win 3.X/Win 95/Win NT freeware.

This program is very useful for loading large executables, zip files,
and other files larger than 1.4MB onto a series of floppies.  The interface 
is a simple one, making it a simple solution for transporting large files
between computers.  It is also useful for transporting a file from one OS
to another.  For instance, you could back-up a file in Win 3.X, and restore it
on a Win95 or Win NT system!  

====================
Installing Packn'Go:
====================
Copy the packngo.exe file to a directory of your choice on your hard drive, 
and create a shortcut icon for it.  (That's It!)


====================
System Requirements:
====================
386 - or higher CPU
Windows 3.X,  Windows95 running in enhanced mode, or Win NT 3.5/4.0
1.44MB 3.5" floppy drive


===============
Using PACKN'GO:
===============

To Backup a file to floppy:

1.)	Click the 'BACKUP' button (It should default to Backup upon startup.)
2.)	Select which floppy to use (usually 'A:' for a 3.5")
3.)	Click the 'FILE' button and select a file to backup.
	(Pack'n Go will tell you how many blank floppies you will need.)
4.)	Click 'START'
	(Pack'n Go will prompt you for backup disks.)


To Restore a file from floppy:

1.)	Click the 'RESTORE' button.
2.)	Select which floppy to use (usually 'A:' for a 3.5")
3.)	Click the 'FILE' button.
	(Pack'n Go will prompt you to insert the first floppy of the
         backup set, and will retrieve the information about the
         backup.)
4.)	Click 'START'
	(Pack'n Go will display a 'Save As' Dialog Box, asking you
         where to restore the file, and as what name.)
	(Pack'n Go will then prompt you for all the disks.)
Note:  The restore name will default to the original name
       the file had when it was backed up.

To Restore a file from a directory of pack'n go files (((New for version 4.0))):

1.)	Click the 'RESTORE' button.
2.)	Select 'Dir' from the 'RESTORE-FROM' button.
3.)	Click the 'FILE' button.
	(Pack'n Go will ask you where the .inf file is located for
	 the backup set. - note all the .pkg files must be in the 
	 same directory as the .inf file!)
4.)	Click 'START'
	(Pack'n Go will display a 'Save As' Dialog Box, asking you
         where to restore the file, and as what name.)
	(Pack'n Go will then prompt you for all the disks.)
Note:  The restore name will default to the original name
       the file had when it was backed up.

NOTES:
======
Pack'n Go does not use any compression during backup.  It assumes you will
be backing up pre-compressed files, such as large zip files, or self extracting 
archives.  Pack'n Go can back-up only ONE file.  If you have many files to back-up,
like an entire directory, zip the files into a single zip file first, and then back
it up with Pack'n Go.

When Backing-up with Pack'n Go, only use formatted 1.44MB Floppy disks that contain
no files.  Pack'n Go cannot erase files on your floppies while backing up.  1.2MB
floppies are not currently supported.  If you think 1.2MB floppies should be supported
send me e-mail to the address below, and if I get enough requests, I will add support
for them.
