1.  WHAT IS MAGELLAN EXPLORER?
_____________________________________________________________________

  Magellan Explorer is a filemanager for Windows 95/98, NT 4.0 and
  Windows 2000. In addition to being capable of performing the basic 
  functionality already found in Windows Explorer, Magellan Explorer
  offers a wide range of functions, features and modes to make your file
  management easy and flexible. Among these are:

   o  Dual Window mode
  
   o  Explorer mode

   o  Opens Zip, Rar and Ace files as folders

   o  History and bookmarks just as in a web browser

   o  A toolbox full of useful utilities

   o  Extensive configuration



2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
_____________________________________________________________________

  In order to run Magellan Explorer, your system must meet these
  specifications:

      requirements for your version of Microsoft Windows.

   o  Windows NT 4.0 (or higher) or Windows 95/98 installed and
      configured on your system.

_____________________________________________________________________


  Complete drag and drop support!
  _______________________________

  Magellan Explorer now supports drag and drop regardless of where are
  dragging to, or from. Create shortcuts by dragging files to the
  desktop, download files and backup your data, all using this simple
  method. You can even drag files from within archives directly onto
  FTP sites, and the other way around.

  New file viewer!
  ________________

  The new version comes with both a small and fast text viewer and an 
  advanced multi-format viewer based on ActiveX technology. 

  All in all the following formats are supported:

    ·  ASCII files
    ·  Hex viewing of any files
    ·  Rich Text Files (RTF)
    ·  JPEG
    ·  TIFF (CCITT 1D, G3 and G4)
    ·  PNG
    ·  Window Metafile (WMF)
    ·  Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
    ·  PCX and DCX
    ·  BMP
    ·  DIB
    ·  PIC
    ·  TARGA
    ·  Microsoft Office documents (1)
    ·  HTML (2)
    ·  PDF files through the Acrobat ActiveX control (2)

  (1) Requires Microsoft Office ActiveX components and Internet 
      Explorer 3.0 or higher
  (2) Requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher

  All time-consuming file operations now run in the background!
  _____________________________________________________________

  Copy (As), Move (As), Find, Delete, Download, Upload, Archive 
  and Unarchive now all run in the background.

  There is also new progress window which gives you all the information
  and statistics about your file jobs you could wish for. It even comes
  with a queue scheduler which gives you complete control over all
  operations. Pause, Stop or Play any file operation!

  Improved performance!
  _____________________

  Copy and Move is now up to twice as fast as "Windows Explorer" and
  previous versions of Magellan Explorer. It doesn't stop there. The
  Find tool is up to 10 times faster than before.

  This is made possible by taking advantage of advanced file technology
  such as overlapped I/O (NT only) and Non-Buffered I/O. The latter
  enables Magellan Explorer to bypass file system cache, and read and
  write directly to memory.

  Improved archive management!

  support for more formats, features and options.

    ·  Internal Cab, Arj and Lha support

     necessary that you supply us with some standard information about

5.  KNOWN PROBLEMS OR LIMITATIONS
_____________________________________________________________________

  All the items on this list are being worked on and will be fixed in
  later releases.

    o  If you use ACD System's PicaView utility under Microsoft 
       Windows 98 and get no thumbnail in the context menu please
       check 'Compability Mode' in PicaView's Options.

    o  If you have the original versions of some system libraries
       that shipped with the first release of Microsoft Windows 95
       Magellan Explorer is unable to display the Filter dialog and
       Order Wizard. This does not apply to Windows NT 4.0 or 
       Windows 98.

       To correct this problem reinstall Magellan Explorer and make
       sure you install the updated Common Control libraries.

    o  Batch files started by custom tools will keep their command
       window open until the user manually closes it. To make the
       window automatically close when the batch file completes
       put "command.com" in the Command field and "/C " in front of
       the batch file in the Arguments field (both without the quotes).
