-------------------This is the Documentation file for NG_CLONE------------------

OVERVIEW:
=========

This is a very brief documentation of the features of NG_CLONE.
First comes a general description, then follows listings of the command-line
syntax, the available options and the valid keystrokes.


GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF NG_CLONE:
================================

This program reads, decrypts and diplays the contents of database files in
the Norton Guide(TM) format.
It can be run , either as a resident program, right there at any time by the
touch of a hotkey, or as a non-resident file viewer, both modes of operation
having totally identical functions and keystrokes.
It will run under DOS 3.1 or higher on any PC or Compatible with at least 90K
of free memory (resident or non-resident).


COMMAND-LINE SYNTAX:
====================

The NG_CLONE command-line is rather simplistic:

ng_clone , where has one of three forms:

1: <{drive/path}filename{.ext} {drive/ngdirectory} +/-> ;
2: or ;
3: or or ;

1. Run NG_CLONE in one of the two modes, resident or non-resident.

The + or - switch makes it possible for NG_READ to determine what mode
to run, thus it is NOT optional, but REQUIRED for proper operation
regardless of mode.
If no path is listed in the filename (first) entry, and there is no
ngdirectory (second) entry, NG_READ will look for filename in the current
directory.
If no path is listed in the filename (first) entry, but an ngdirectory
(second) entry is available, NG_READ will look for filename in this
directory.
If the filename (first) entry comes complete with a path, this overrules
the ngdirectory (second) entry, and NG_READ will look for filename in the
directory specified.
2. Uninstall and remove NG_CLONE, if it is resident.
3. Write brief version of command-line syntax and exit.
