Minimum Hardware Requirements:

of running the operating systems mentioned in the minimum software
requirements section below.

Minimum Software Requirements:

Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003 and
Windows Vista, although the product has not been tested on the latter.

The current version of the product cannot be used on a 64-bit version
of Windows, and we do not expect demand for the product's usage on
such operating systems, because they lack DOS support. However, if you
have special requirements and desire such a version, please tell us.


===================
5. NEW INSTALLATION
===================

Run Setup_ORAVDefsUpdaterForF-PROTforDOS_v2.exe and follow the
on-screen instructions.
No reboot is required after installation.


====================================
6. UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION
====================================

If you have a previous version installed, follow the instructions for
a new installation.
The product will automatically detect any previous versions and will
take appropriate action to upgrade to the new one. The upgrade
procedure is automatic and migrates any existing configuration
settings as appropriate.


=================
7. UNINSTALLATION
=================

You can do it in the standard way from "Add/Remove Programs" in the
Windows(r) "Control Panel".
The uninstaller is going to close any currently running (active)
product modules.
The uninstall process is very careful and takes a lot of effort to
remove each and every component of the product.  Normally, no reboot
is required after uninstallation. If potentially anything is or could
be left from the product, the uninstaller detects this, and precise
explanation in non-expert language is given to you, so that you can
verify and clean your system manually. But the uninstaller tries to be
careful and intelligent and such manual measures are necessary only if
something interferes with the uninstallation process. This is a rare
occurrence.


=================================
8. NEW PRODUCT VERSIONS (UPDATES)

Updates to future versions are free and when available can be found at

Note also that the program can self-update itself with your
