Warranties:  This program does not have any warranties, either stated or
             implied.  By using this program, you are assuming full
             responsibility for the outcome of the program's execution.

Operating systems this program is known to work under:

           problematic.)

         MS-Windows NT (No major loss :-)  ) (This is due to NT's control over

Misc. Notes:

     1.  The partitions scan ok when Symantec's Norton Disk Doctor II is
         executed.
     2.  As of version 0.8 the partitions now show up ok in Ranish Partition
         Manager.

Future Plans:
(These may be changed at any time.)

     1.  Fix any encountered bugs.

     (Version numbers are tentative.)

     Version .99   Any necessary bug-fixes.  Write a user manual.  Finalize
                   and document exit error codes.

     Version 1.0   Version .99 after being released a reasonable amount
                   of time to ensure that the progam is bug-free.
