Diskeeper[R] 2.0.101 for Windows NT[R] V4.0 -- x86 Platforms

This text file provides information you should know about 
this version of Diskeeper.


PLEASE NOTE
===========

This is an upgrade version of Diskeeper 2.0 and requires a 
Diskeeper 1.0x CD-ROM to install.  Diskeeper will not allow 
installation using Diskeeper 1.0x files which have been 
copied to a hard disk. 


IMPORTANT NOTE
==============

Service Pack 1 for Windows NT, which contains fixes for potential 
data corruption, is now available at the following location:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/NT40/sp1 

While we have not received any reports of file corruption in field
test, we have found that applying this Service Pack has resolved 
some intermittent problems running Diskeeper.  Therefore, we 
strongly recommend applying this Service Pack to your Windows NT 
systems.
