                               MVIEW version 1.00
                               ==================

DESCRIPTION
===========

MVIEW is an image file browser that quickly locates graphics files and displays
the graphic content of the files (commonly BMP, JPG, JPEG, ICO, etc) as an
array of picture boxes. The user selects files for copying, moving & deleting
by pikking the pictures instead of pikking the filenames. MVIEW has a very
succinct point-and-shoot interface instead of the menu system common to Windows
apps. MVIEW can log a folder and all its subfolders or an entire drive. Several
instances of MVIEW can run at once, so the user can compare images from
different drives side-by-side.


REQUIREMENTS
============

Windows(R) 95 or later
SYSINFO.OCX - Microsoft Sysinfo control (included in ZIP file)

Visual Basic(R) 6 runtime files (see below)

INSTALLATION
============

It is recommended that you create the following subfolder on your primary
hard drive: c:\Program Files\MVIEW. Download the file "mview10.zip" to this

runtime files from the URL:
