PACKAGE CONTENTS

FILE_ID.DIZ	Description-In-Zip
du.exe		Main executable

If your copy of du is missing one or more of these files, it may be damaged or incomplete. Do not attempt to install du if you suspect that your copy is in any way corrupted.


INSTALLATION
------------
1. De-compress all files to a temporary folder. 
2. Find the file called "du.inf" (the notepad icon with the yellow gear on it, if you are extension-shy). Right-click it, then choose Install. 

du should now be installed on your system, in "Program Files\Accessories" (or "Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories") and "Disk Usage" an option whenever you right click a directory or drive in Explorer.


UNINSTALLATION
--------------
Don't uninstall du while it is running. If you do so the file "du.exe" will not be removed from your system. When du is not running, proceed as indicated below.

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click "Add/Remove Programs".
3. Select "du 0.51", then click the button marked "Add/Remove". 


DOCUMENTATION
-------------
No help is provided with the program.
If you are familiar with Explorer you should have no trouble using it.


NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR
---------------------
du was written for my own use. It was developed in Borland's truly excellent Delphi 2.0 in about two hours (in fact I put more time in sorting out the package contents than writing the program). It's absolutely free, so don't expect anything fancy from it.


KNOWN BUGS
----------
* Sort order defaults to Name when you choose a different folder.
* Split-Pane control is somewhat flickery.
* Termination while du is scanning or sorting is unsafe.

REVISION HISTORY
----------------
Not all the versions whose numbers appear in the list below have been released publicly.

[0.49]
* First public release.

[0.50]
* Fixed a nasty bug that crashed du under Windows NT 4.00.
* Fixed some minor bugs.
* All settings are saved when du is closed.
* du now handles only drives and directories (and no other folders), as it should.

[0.51]
* An indication of what du is doing while scanning or sorting, now appears on the status bar.
* You can now opt to not sort the directory tree view (useless on NTFS volumes) or adjust the case of 8.3 filenames.
* A View|Refresh option has been added on the menu.
