XYplorer
--------
  XYplorer is a multi-tabbed file manager featuring a very powerful file 
  search, versatile preview facilities, a highly customizable interface, 
  and a large array of unique ways to efficiently automate frequently 
  recurring tasks. XYplorer is a tool rather than a toy, and targets 
  power users and computer professionals who are looking for an Explorer 
  replacement that deserves its name.

Dependencies
------------
  
  * Running on Vista
    XYplorer is fully Vista compatible. There is only one thing that 
    might need your attention:
    - The Windows Help (*.hlp) format is not supported in Windows 
      Vista because WinHlp32.exe not included. To download WinHlp32.exe, 
      visit the following Microsoft Web site:
        http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82148
      After installing the update the help system of XYplorer and all 
      other applications using the classic help format will work just 
      fine.
  
  * VB6 Runtime Files
    The package does NOT contain the VB6 runtime files needed to run 
    XYplorer. This is to keep download times short, and because they are 
    present on almost every computer.
    
    If you are not sure whether you got those files, it's easy to find out:
    If you can start XYplorer you got them, if not you have to get them.

    ONLY IF THE PROGRAM DOES NOT START:
      The VB6 runtime files needed can be found at this URL:
        http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=de&FamilyID=7B9BA261-7A9C-43E7-9117-F673077FFB3C
      Download the self-extracting file that installs the latest 
      versions of the Microsoft Visual Basic runtime files that all 
      applications created with Visual Basic 6.0 need in order to run.
