Hardware:
 Space required to install StorURL 2.5 is approximately 1MB without the .NET

 of the Windows operating system. Test systems include AMD Athlon 64 3200+ w/
 2GB RAM, Pentium 4 1.5GHz w/ 768MB RAM and AMD Athlon XP 2200+ w/ 1GB RAM. If
 you have problems running the application on your system, please let me know
 using the contact information provided at the end of this file.

Software:
 StorURL has been tested on Windows 2000 (SP4) and XP (SP 1,2). It is probably
 safe to assume that it will run under Windows 95/98/ME/NT, but there is no
 guarantee. The .NET framework is required to run the application. You can down-
 load it from the Microsoft.com website or through Windows Update non-critical
 updates. http://www.microsoft.com

II. Installation
    
Installation of StorURL is simple. Open the StorURL_2.5_Install.exe file by

                       mark in every category within the database.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup/Restore
 Backup Current       Takes all categories and bookmarks and creates a backup
   Database            file that you can save to allow for restoration at a
                       later date.
 Restore Database...  Takes a backup file and imports all the data back into
                       the current user's database. Caution, existing bookmarks
                       will be replaced if there is one with the same name in
                       the backup file.

Scan Link
 Selected Link        Checks the web to see if the selected bookmark is still
                       valid or if the site/page/file no longer exists.
 All Links in <NAME>  This does the same as 'Selected Link' but loops through
                       the whole current category and marks bad links when they
                       are found.
Scan Log Viewer       If you have log scanning enabled, a record of all sites
                       ever scanned will be in this log viewer until deleted by
                       the user.
