LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
-------------------------------------

THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED AS IS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY.  
THIS FILE WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED VIRUS FREE, HOWEVER, SINCE I HAVE 
NO CONTROL OF THIS PROGRAM ONCE IT IS POSTED ON OTHER SERVICES I 
ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR VIRUS PROBLEMS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE. 

Basically, you got it for free, if you don't like it you can 
have your money back ; - )


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
------------------------------------
This is a 32 bit application that has been tested on Windows 95 only. 
It should work on any system running Windows 95. It has not been tested 
on Windows NT, however, I believe it should work.


INSTALLATION
---------------------
1. This program was written in Microsoft Visual Basic version 4.0. 
   Therefore it requires VB40032.DLL. If this file is not on your system 
   you will need to download the file and place it in your 
   \windows\system directory.  

2. Unzip the zip file into a temporary directory and run setup.exe. 
   Follow the directions, they should be relatively straight forward.

3. If you wish to remove the program use Windows 95 control panel, 
   Add/Remove programs. You will find this program in the list.

4. Create icons for the application on your start menu. The command line 
   switches are:
/F - Force the operation - Applications will be closed without prompting 
     to save files and you will not be prompted to disconnect users if 
     you are on a network.
/P - Poweroff - Shuts off the power to your system. Your system must support 
     this function, otherwise it will simply shutdown Windows 95.
/R - Reboot - Reboots your system.
/S - Shutdown - Shuts down Windows 95. On some systems with advanced power
     management it will also poweroff your machine.
/? - Provides a help screen that lists the switches. The application 
     terminates without action after you click on OK in the help box.
Note: If sd-sys is run without command line switches it defaults to Reboot.
