Executive Software Network Undelete[TM] 1.1 (Build 039) 
for Windows NT[R] V4.0

x86 Platforms

This text file provides information you should know about this 
version of Executive Software Network Undelete.


PLATFORMS AND OPERATING SYSTEM VERSIONS SUPPORTED
=================================================

This version of Executive Software Network Undelete is supported
on Intel x86 platforms (or their equivalent) running Windows NT
4.0 builds 1381 and higher.  Service Pack 3 for Windows NT 4.0 
is recommended due to known DCOM fixes in Service Pack 3. 


IMPORTANT NOTICES
=================

1.  Executive Software Network Undelete is available in two 
    versions - The Administrator version and the Client version.
    With the Client version you can recover and undelete files 
    on a local Workstation or Server.  With the Administrator
    version you can recover and undelete files and directory 
    folders on your local machine as well as on remote 
    computers on your network.

2.  If you are installing an upgrade version of Executive 
    Software Network Undelete, you must have a commercial,
    non-trialware version of the product installed on your
    computer.


CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
=======================

The following changes have been made to Executive Software
Network Undelete since version 1.0:

o   Drag and Drop is supported in this version.  You can now
    drag an object directly from the desktop or from Windows
    NT Explorer to the Recovery Bin icon on your desktop. 
    Note that the exclusion list does not apply to Drag and
    Drop operations.  A "dragged and dropped" object will be 
    moved to the Recovery Bin, even if it is listed on the
    recovery Bin exclusion list.

o   This version has been internationalized.  Non-English
    versions of Windows NT are now supported.  There are,
    however, possible limitations using this version on
    systems running Japanese Windows NT.  See "KNOWN 
    RESTRICTIONS/LIMITATIONS IN THIS RELEASE" later in 
    this text file for more information.

o   The Digital Alpha platform is now supported.  

o   If a previous version of Executive Software Network
    Undelete is detected during the installation, you are 
    given the option to save the previous Recovery Bin 
    properties and apply them to the new installation.

o   The default installation directory for the Administrator
    and Client version is now \ExecSoft\Undelete_Admin and 
    \ExecSoft\Undelete_Client respectively.

o   An incompatibility problem noted between the previous
    version and Dr. Solomans Anti Virus has been corrected.

o   A change has been made to correct a situation that could
    cause a process hang when running the previous version.
    This change also corrects the potential for a system crash
    when running Executive Software Network Undelete on dual-
    processor systems.

o   In the previous version, under certain circumstances, NTFS
    file header information was read incorrectly and a message 
    was erroneously displayed indicating the user had 
    insufficient privileges to undelete a file.  This error has 
    been corrected in this version.

o   In some cases with the previous version, a deleted NTFS
    file could be undeleted directly from the disk, but the
    original file security attributes would not be restored
    to the recovered file.  This would cause a message to be
    erroneously displayed indicating the user had insufficient 
    privileges to undelete a file.  With this version, the 
    recovery status message displayed when the file is recovered 
    indicates that the file was recovered, but the file security 
    attributes were not restored.

o   In the previous version, the check marks on the Setup dialog 
    box were mis-aligned on some systems, depending on the 
    default font being used on system.  This has been corrected 
    in this version.


KNOWN RESTRICTIONS/LIMITATIONS IN THIS RELEASE
==============================================

1.  When you Undelete a file, you must first specify the filename
    and directory path before finding the deleted files.  Wildcard
    statements (such as * and ?) are supported for specifying the 
    filename.

2.  The Recovery Bin Exclusion List does not allow you to exclude 
    entire partitions from being processed.  Instead, use the 
    Recovery Bin Properties dialog to disable the Recovery Bin on 
    individual partitions.

3.  If a partition is re-formatted, removed, or has its drive 
    letter changed, the Recovery Bin will be disabled for that 
    partition.  You must reset the Recovery Bin properties to 
    re-enable the Recovery Bin on that partition.

4.  When the Recovery Bin is enabled for a partition, the 
    \RecoveryBin folder cannot be deleted.  The Recovery Bin must 
    first be disabled before this folder can be deleted.

5.  On NTFS partitions, only Small and Large file types are 
    eligible for being undeleted directly from the disk.  However, 
    all file types can be recovered from the Recovery Bin.

6.  Files that have been compressed using NTFS file compression 
    can be recovered from the Recovery Bin, but they cannot be 
    recovered with the Undelete From Disk feature after they have 
    been really deleted.  Only non-compressed files can be 
    undeleted.  Note, however, this only applies to files 
    compressed with the native Windows NT file compression.  It
    does not apply to files compressed with third-party utilities
    such as PkZip and WinZip.

7.  The default name for a common recovery bin (one bin location 
    for a given system) is "<system drive>:\CommonBin".  This 
    location can be configured from the Properties dialog box. 
    This can be set to any valid directory name as long as it 
    does not conflict with the local recovery bin name on that 
    drive ("<Drive>:\RecoveryBin"). 

8.  Certain systems running Japanese Windows NT may exhibit 
    problems at startup with this version.  The problem 
    usually appears as a Dr. Watson error message referring to
    the DeskUnd.exe or NetUnd.exe process.  When this problem
    occurs, the application aborts.  Also, in some cases the 
    Executive Software Network Undelete GUI hangs in a busy 
    state at startup.  These problems are being corrected and 
    a new version containing the fixes will be released as 
    soon as possible.  Check the Executive Software Web site 
    at www.execsoft.com for the latest information on running 
    Executive Software Network Undelete on Japanese Windows NT 
    systems.


THIRD PARTY INCOMPATIBILITY LIST
================================

Executive Software Network Undelete is incompatible with the 
following third party software applications:

1.  Norton Protect.  Executive Software Network Undelete and
    Norton Protect perform similar activities that are not 
    compatible.

2.  QuarterDeck Cleansweep.  Incompatibility between components
    of Executive Software Network Undelete and Cleansweep has been
    noted.  However, it has been observed that when Executive 
    Software Network Undelete is installed first, Cleansweep can
    then be installed and both products run correctly.  If 
    Cleansweep is installed first, Executive Software Network 
    Undelete will not start correctly.  Therefore, if you have
    installed Cleansweep prior to installing Executive Software
    Network Undelete, we recommend that you uninstall Cleansweep
    before installing Executive Software Network Undelete.

    On installation of Executive Software Network Undelete, a
    check for the QuarterDeck Cleansweep software is made, and if
    found, you are warned that Executive Software Network Undelete
    is not compatible with it.

3.  One site reported that while using Digital's Distributed
    Computing Environment (DCE), a system hang occurred when 
    a user-written DCE process ran concurrently with Executive 
    Software Network Undelete.  We do not recommend running the 
    two products on the same system at this time.

4.  One site reported that a product named Virtual Address does 
    not function when Executive Software Network Undelete is
    installed.  This has not been independently confirmed.


REQUIRED PRIVILEGES
===================

You must be a member of the Administrators Group to install
Executive Software Network Undelete and to undelete files directly
from the disk.

Members of the Users Group can recover files from the Recovery
Bin.  However, they must have sufficient file permissions and 
ownership to recover a file from the Recovery Bin.


INSTALLING EXECUTIVE SOFTWARE NETWORK UNDELETE
==============================================

After downloading the compressed Zip file into a temporary
directory on your Windows NT system and UnZipping it, 
follow these steps while logged on to an account that is a
member of the Administrators Group:

1.  From Windows NT Explorer or File Manager, double click the
    SETUP.EXE file in the directory where you UnZipped the
    Executive Software Network Undelete files.

2.  Read the information displayed in the Setup Installation 
    Wizard boxes and click the "Next" button as appropriate.

3.  In the "Choose Destination Location" dialog box, either 
    accept the default installation location, or click the 
    "Browse" button to specify a different disk and/or directory. 
    If you specify a directory that does not exist, the setup 
    program will create it for you.  Click the "Next" button after
    specifying a disk and directory, or to accept the default 
    installation location.

4.  After a short period of copying files, the installation is 
    complete.

5.  After the installation is complete, you will be prompted
    to reboot your computer.  You must reboot your computer
    to start the Executive Software Network Undelete Service and
    device driver.
