                          Please read carefully!


Some Toshiba Tecra notebooks (i.e. the 700 series) show the unpleasant
behaviour of keeping the fan running all the time as long as the CD-ROM drive
is installed. TecraFan allows you to switch the fan on and off at will by
typing TECRAFAN ON or TECRAFAN OFF on the command line. TecraFan will work
under DOS as well as from a Win3.x or Win9x DOS prompt, but not on Windows NT
nor Windows 2000.

To all I know, the fan will start running again even after TECRAFAN OFF if the
thermocoupler inside the notebook senses an excessive CPU temperature.
However, I cannot guarantuee for this! And, as you might imagine, I couldn't 
test TecraFan on every Tecra model. You will have to use TecraFan at your
own risk, I will not be liable for any damages caused. Also, keep in mind
that the current version is a beta which may have yet undiscovered bugs, so be
extra careful.

I'd like to thank Jonathan Buzzard for supplying the necessary technical
information on his website www.buzzard.org.uk.
