SUMMARY
Catch-UP is a Web-based software updating service that automatically 
searches for the newest versions of many popular Internet-distributed 
software applications and hardware drivers.  The Catch-UP Scanner helper
application runs with your browser to generate a custom list of software
updates and corresponding download sites.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS
--Windows 95/NT or Windows 3.1 with Win32s
--Forms capable Web browser

INSTALLATION
To install the Catch-UP Scanner, download the self-extracting executable
file appropriate for your operating system.  Double-click on the file
to initiate the installation process.  The installer will guide you 
through the rest of the setup.

NOTE to Windows 3.1 Users:  Before installing or running the Catch-UP
Scanner, you must install the Win32s runtime libraries.

Please read the License Agreement before running the Catch-UP software 
and using the service.

CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
The Catch-UP installer will automatically configure the Catch-UP Scanner
as a helper application with most major browsers.  If your browser
is not supported or you choose to skip this step, you will have to 
configure Catch-UP manually.  Detailed configuration instructions are 
provided on Manageable Software Services' website.
